Update Information:
Update to hamlib 4.1 and rebuild dependencies. ---- WSJT-X 2.3.0 General
Availability release adds the new modes FST4 and FST4W along with many defect
repairs. See summaries below and for the prior release candidates (2.3.0-rc1
through -rc4) of this version for details. - FST4/W: Disable envelope
shaping at start and end of transmission when environment variable
FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too. - Add time stamp to error message
boxes to aid diagnosis. - Repair a defect that caused crashes at start up for
some macOS Big Sur users. - Repair a defect that could cause the jt9 slow
mode decoder process to exit incorrectly with a failure status. - Updated
CTY.DAT file. Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc4
Jan 26, 2021 ------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release
Candidate 4 is a stop-gap release while some recent important Hamlib changes
are being verified. Also included are the following regression and defect
repairs. - The wsprd command line tool uses the current working directory for
the data file directory if it is not specified. - Updates to the language
translations of the WSJT-X user Interface. Release: WSJT-X
2.3.0-rc3 Jan 6, 2021
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 3 adds an improved
FST4W decoder and fixes several defects and regressions discovered since
the second release candidate. - FST4W: Improve FST4W decoder sensitivity
on fading channels and decrease false decode rate. FST4W uses 50-bit
messages and a 24-bit CRC. The 74-bit message+CRC is encoded into a
240-bit codeword. Received messages are decoded by two different decoders:
(i) a ���belief propagation��� (BP) decoder and (ii) an ordered statistics
decoder (OSD). The ordered statistics decoder has a knob that allows any
or all CRC bits to be treated as additional parity bits rather than as part
of the message+CRC field. Thus, the OSD decoder can decode the
received message as a (240,50+Nc) code, where Nc is any integer between 0
and 24. In the RC1 and RC2 releases the OSD decoding attempt treated the
code as a (240,64) code (14-bit CRC). This release uses 2 OSD decoding
attempts that treat the received word as (i) a (240,66) code with 16-bit CRC
and code rate 0.308 and (ii) a (240,50) code with no CRC and code rate 0.208.
Codewords returned by the (240,50) CRC-less decoding attempt are unpacked
and the decode is printed only if it contains a callsign/grid pair that
have been previously decoded by the belief propagation decoder (which
treats the code as a (240,74) code with 24-bit CRC) or the ordered
statistics decoder configured for (240,66) (16-bit CRC). The
callsign/grid memory is stored in file ���fst4w_calls.txt��� which resides in
the data directory. - FT8: Fixed a crash triggered by double clicking on the
waterfall to invoke a decode of a signal in the preceding T/R interval. -
FST4W: Do not save .c2 files. - FST4W: Correct a bug that could cause
incorrect operation when using negative noise blanker (NB) percentage to
trigger looping over a range of NB percentages. - fst4sim: Added simulation
of Lorentzian fading spectrum, invoked by negative fspread values. - Color
highlighting scheme window fixed in dark mode. - Reports sent by QSO partners
to other stations no longer logged in error. - UDP Status(1) message now
includes the current Tx message. - Example diagnostic logging configuration
files included. - Use system localization for date fields in Log QSO dialog.
- Improvements to audio input and output buffer sizes. - wsprd: Fails
gracefully if data directory does not exist. - wsjtx_app_version: new utility
to print application version string. - Regression causing incorrect working
frequency selection when changing modes repaired. - Regression with QSO
initiation with "Best S&P" repaired. - Updated installation instructions
for
macOS covering M1 hardware. - Improved compatibility is Debian 9 required
distribution packages. - Repair regression with missing time-stamps in the
ALL.TXT journal. - Allow hamlib_settings.json to work with PTT only
configurations so that optional PTT sharing on RTS or DTR can be enabled. -
Several improvements to main window sizing and layout. - Repair regression
with OpenSSL libraries being required when LoTW highlighting is not enabled.
- Repair a defect that caused 2 by 1 callsigns to be incorrectly parsed
as non-standard. - Several updates to international UI translations.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc2 Nov 16, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 2 fixes issues
found in RC1 and includes some new functionality that missed the RC1 cut off
deadline. - Dropped audio samples message box removed, warnings and errors
for these are now sent to the WSJT-X system log. - FST4W spots to
WSPRNet.org will be augmented such that the server can distinguish the mode
being spotted. Spots to
WSPRNet.org will no longer be restricted to WSPR
sub-bands. - A new internal system and data logging facility used to
provide trace, debug, information, warning, error, and fatal error
messages. The verbosity and filtering of messages is user definable via a
configuration file. Without a configuration file a basic log is written with
information, warning and error messages only. Log files are automatically
rotated to limit disk usage. - Due to some users using inappropriate
multicast IP addresses for their interoperating severs the default
behaviour now is to only send multicast UDP datagrams to the loop-back
network interface. Users who require WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol datagrams
to reach other hosts will now have to configure WSJT-X to send on an
appropriate network interface, and use an appropriately scoped multicast
group address for their server applications. If you are not sure then
224.0.0.1 (or ff02::1 if IPv6 is desired) is a safe choice.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1 Sept 28, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 is a program upgrade offering two
new modes designed especially for use on the LF and MF bands. FST4 is for
2-way QSOs, and FST4W is for WSPR-like transmissions. Both modes offer a range
of options for T/R sequence lengths and threshold decoding sensitivities
extending well into the -40 dB range. Early tests have shown these modes
frequently spanning intercontinental distances on the 2200 m and 630 m bands.
Further details and operating hints can be found in the "Quick-Start Guide to
FST4 and FST4W", posted on the WSJT web site:
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1
is a beta-quality release candidate for a program upgrade that provides a
number of new features, capabilities, and defect repairs. These include: -
New modes FST4 and FST4W targeting LF and MF bands. - Improved noise baseline
discovery for more reliable SNR estimates. - On the waterfall and 2D spectrum
a tool-tip shows the frequency offset under the mouse pointer. - The *On Dx
Echo* Doppler compensation method has been modified in response to feedback
from Users. Basic functionality is unchanged. See the User Guide (Section
8.1) for more information. - Improved user_hardware script or program
initiation for WSPR band-hopping mode. - Decoded QSO mode message
display narrowed to make appended information easier to view without
scrolling the window. - Option to record the propagation mode in logged QSO
records. - ADIF v3.1.1 compliance. - Option to connect to PSKReporter using
TCP/IP for those with very poor Internet connections. - Major rewrite of
the PSKReporter interface to improve efficiency and reduce traffic levels.
- Removal of the Tab 2 generated messages. - Accessibility improvements to the
UI. - Tweaked decode speed options for a better user experience with lower
powered single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. - Updates to UI
translations in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese,
Danish, and Japanese. - Audio devices only enumerated when starting up and
opening the "Settings->Audio" device lists. - Option to select the
default
audio device removed to minimize the likelihood of system sounds being
transmitted. - Better handling of missing audio devices. - Improved and
enhanced meta-data saved to .WAV files. - More reliable multi-instance
support. - Included CTY.DAT file moved to installation share directory. -
The bundled Hamlib library is updated to the latest available which fixes
several regressions, defects, and adds new rig support. - Fixed some edge-case
message packing and unpacking defects and ambiguities. - Fix a defect that
allowed non-CQ messages to be replied to via the UDP Message Protocol. -
Fix a long-standing defect with Tx start timing. - Repair a defect with style
sheets when switching configurations. - Repair defects that made the
astronomical data window an several main window controls unreadable when
using the dark style sheet. - Repair a regression with setting WSPR
transmitted power levels. - Repair a regression with newly created ADIF log
file's header. - Many other defects repaired.

Update Information:
Update to hamlib 4.1 and rebuild dependencies. ---- WSJT-X 2.3.0 General
Availability release adds the new modes FST4 and FST4W along with many defect
repairs. See summaries below and for the prior release candidates (2.3.0-rc1
through -rc4) of this version for details. - FST4/W: Disable envelope
shaping at start and end of transmission when environment variable
FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too. - Add time stamp to error message
boxes to aid diagnosis. - Repair a defect that caused crashes at start up for
some macOS Big Sur users. - Repair a defect that could cause the jt9 slow
mode decoder process to exit incorrectly with a failure status. - Updated
CTY.DAT file. Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc4
Jan 26, 2021 ------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release
Candidate 4 is a stop-gap release while some recent important Hamlib changes
are being verified. Also included are the following regression and defect
repairs. - The wsprd command line tool uses the current working directory for
the data file directory if it is not specified. - Updates to the language
translations of the WSJT-X user Interface. Release: WSJT-X
2.3.0-rc3 Jan 6, 2021
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 3 adds an improved
FST4W decoder and fixes several defects and regressions discovered since
the second release candidate. - FST4W: Improve FST4W decoder sensitivity
on fading channels and decrease false decode rate. FST4W uses 50-bit
messages and a 24-bit CRC. The 74-bit message+CRC is encoded into a
240-bit codeword. Received messages are decoded by two different decoders:
(i) a ���belief propagation��� (BP) decoder and (ii) an ordered statistics
decoder (OSD). The ordered statistics decoder has a knob that allows any
or all CRC bits to be treated as additional parity bits rather than as part
of the message+CRC field. Thus, the OSD decoder can decode the
received message as a (240,50+Nc) code, where Nc is any integer between 0
and 24. In the RC1 and RC2 releases the OSD decoding attempt treated the
code as a (240,64) code (14-bit CRC). This release uses 2 OSD decoding
attempts that treat the received word as (i) a (240,66) code with 16-bit CRC
and code rate 0.308 and (ii) a (240,50) code with no CRC and code rate 0.208.
Codewords returned by the (240,50) CRC-less decoding attempt are unpacked
and the decode is printed only if it contains a callsign/grid pair that
have been previously decoded by the belief propagation decoder (which
treats the code as a (240,74) code with 24-bit CRC) or the ordered
statistics decoder configured for (240,66) (16-bit CRC). The
callsign/grid memory is stored in file ���fst4w_calls.txt��� which resides in
the data directory. - FT8: Fixed a crash triggered by double clicking on the
waterfall to invoke a decode of a signal in the preceding T/R interval. -
FST4W: Do not save .c2 files. - FST4W: Correct a bug that could cause
incorrect operation when using negative noise blanker (NB) percentage to
trigger looping over a range of NB percentages. - fst4sim: Added simulation
of Lorentzian fading spectrum, invoked by negative fspread values. - Color
highlighting scheme window fixed in dark mode. - Reports sent by QSO partners
to other stations no longer logged in error. - UDP Status(1) message now
includes the current Tx message. - Example diagnostic logging configuration
files included. - Use system localization for date fields in Log QSO dialog.
- Improvements to audio input and output buffer sizes. - wsprd: Fails
gracefully if data directory does not exist. - wsjtx_app_version: new utility
to print application version string. - Regression causing incorrect working
frequency selection when changing modes repaired. - Regression with QSO
initiation with "Best S&P" repaired. - Updated installation instructions
for
macOS covering M1 hardware. - Improved compatibility is Debian 9 required
distribution packages. - Repair regression with missing time-stamps in the
ALL.TXT journal. - Allow hamlib_settings.json to work with PTT only
configurations so that optional PTT sharing on RTS or DTR can be enabled. -
Several improvements to main window sizing and layout. - Repair regression
with OpenSSL libraries being required when LoTW highlighting is not enabled.
- Repair a defect that caused 2 by 1 callsigns to be incorrectly parsed
as non-standard. - Several updates to international UI translations.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc2 Nov 16, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 2 fixes issues
found in RC1 and includes some new functionality that missed the RC1 cut off
deadline. - Dropped audio samples message box removed, warnings and errors
for these are now sent to the WSJT-X system log. - FST4W spots to
WSPRNet.org will be augmented such that the server can distinguish the mode
being spotted. Spots to
WSPRNet.org will no longer be restricted to WSPR
sub-bands. - A new internal system and data logging facility used to
provide trace, debug, information, warning, error, and fatal error
messages. The verbosity and filtering of messages is user definable via a
configuration file. Without a configuration file a basic log is written with
information, warning and error messages only. Log files are automatically
rotated to limit disk usage. - Due to some users using inappropriate
multicast IP addresses for their interoperating severs the default
behaviour now is to only send multicast UDP datagrams to the loop-back
network interface. Users who require WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol datagrams
to reach other hosts will now have to configure WSJT-X to send on an
appropriate network interface, and use an appropriately scoped multicast
group address for their server applications. If you are not sure then
224.0.0.1 (or ff02::1 if IPv6 is desired) is a safe choice.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1 Sept 28, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 is a program upgrade offering two
new modes designed especially for use on the LF and MF bands. FST4 is for
2-way QSOs, and FST4W is for WSPR-like transmissions. Both modes offer a range
of options for T/R sequence lengths and threshold decoding sensitivities
extending well into the -40 dB range. Early tests have shown these modes
frequently spanning intercontinental distances on the 2200 m and 630 m bands.
Further details and operating hints can be found in the "Quick-Start Guide to
FST4 and FST4W", posted on the WSJT web site:
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1
is a beta-quality release candidate for a program upgrade that provides a
number of new features, capabilities, and defect repairs. These include: -
New modes FST4 and FST4W targeting LF and MF bands. - Improved noise baseline
discovery for more reliable SNR estimates. - On the waterfall and 2D spectrum
a tool-tip shows the frequency offset under the mouse pointer. - The *On Dx
Echo* Doppler compensation method has been modified in response to feedback
from Users. Basic functionality is unchanged. See the User Guide (Section
8.1) for more information. - Improved user_hardware script or program
initiation for WSPR band-hopping mode. - Decoded QSO mode message
display narrowed to make appended information easier to view without
scrolling the window. - Option to record the propagation mode in logged QSO
records. - ADIF v3.1.1 compliance. - Option to connect to PSKReporter using
TCP/IP for those with very poor Internet connections. - Major rewrite of
the PSKReporter interface to improve efficiency and reduce traffic levels.
- Removal of the Tab 2 generated messages. - Accessibility improvements to the
UI. - Tweaked decode speed options for a better user experience with lower
powered single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. - Updates to UI
translations in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese,
Danish, and Japanese. - Audio devices only enumerated when starting up and
opening the "Settings->Audio" device lists. - Option to select the
default
audio device removed to minimize the likelihood of system sounds being
transmitted. - Better handling of missing audio devices. - Improved and
enhanced meta-data saved to .WAV files. - More reliable multi-instance
support. - Included CTY.DAT file moved to installation share directory. -
The bundled Hamlib library is updated to the latest available which fixes
several regressions, defects, and adds new rig support. - Fixed some edge-case
message packing and unpacking defects and ambiguities. - Fix a defect that
allowed non-CQ messages to be replied to via the UDP Message Protocol. -
Fix a long-standing defect with Tx start timing. - Repair a defect with style
sheets when switching configurations. - Repair defects that made the
astronomical data window an several main window controls unreadable when
using the dark style sheet. - Repair a regression with setting WSPR
transmitted power levels. - Repair a regression with newly created ADIF log
file's header. - Many other defects repaired.

Run-time library to control radio transceivers and receivers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update to hamlib 4.1 and rebuild dependencies. ---- WSJT-X 2.3.0 General
Availability release adds the new modes FST4 and FST4W along with many defect
repairs. See summaries below and for the prior release candidates (2.3.0-rc1
through -rc4) of this version for details. - FST4/W: Disable envelope
shaping at start and end of transmission when environment variable
FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too. - Add time stamp to error message
boxes to aid diagnosis. - Repair a defect that caused crashes at start up for
some macOS Big Sur users. - Repair a defect that could cause the jt9 slow
mode decoder process to exit incorrectly with a failure status. - Updated
CTY.DAT file. Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc4
Jan 26, 2021 ------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release
Candidate 4 is a stop-gap release while some recent important Hamlib changes
are being verified. Also included are the following regression and defect
repairs. - The wsprd command line tool uses the current working directory for
the data file directory if it is not specified. - Updates to the language
translations of the WSJT-X user Interface. Release: WSJT-X
2.3.0-rc3 Jan 6, 2021
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 3 adds an improved
FST4W decoder and fixes several defects and regressions discovered since
the second release candidate. - FST4W: Improve FST4W decoder sensitivity
on fading channels and decrease false decode rate. FST4W uses 50-bit
messages and a 24-bit CRC. The 74-bit message+CRC is encoded into a
240-bit codeword. Received messages are decoded by two different decoders:
(i) a ���belief propagation��� (BP) decoder and (ii) an ordered statistics
decoder (OSD). The ordered statistics decoder has a knob that allows any
or all CRC bits to be treated as additional parity bits rather than as part
of the message+CRC field. Thus, the OSD decoder can decode the
received message as a (240,50+Nc) code, where Nc is any integer between 0
and 24. In the RC1 and RC2 releases the OSD decoding attempt treated the
code as a (240,64) code (14-bit CRC). This release uses 2 OSD decoding
attempts that treat the received word as (i) a (240,66) code with 16-bit CRC
and code rate 0.308 and (ii) a (240,50) code with no CRC and code rate 0.208.
Codewords returned by the (240,50) CRC-less decoding attempt are unpacked
and the decode is printed only if it contains a callsign/grid pair that
have been previously decoded by the belief propagation decoder (which
treats the code as a (240,74) code with 24-bit CRC) or the ordered
statistics decoder configured for (240,66) (16-bit CRC). The
callsign/grid memory is stored in file ���fst4w_calls.txt��� which resides in
the data directory. - FT8: Fixed a crash triggered by double clicking on the
waterfall to invoke a decode of a signal in the preceding T/R interval. -
FST4W: Do not save .c2 files. - FST4W: Correct a bug that could cause
incorrect operation when using negative noise blanker (NB) percentage to
trigger looping over a range of NB percentages. - fst4sim: Added simulation
of Lorentzian fading spectrum, invoked by negative fspread values. - Color
highlighting scheme window fixed in dark mode. - Reports sent by QSO partners
to other stations no longer logged in error. - UDP Status(1) message now
includes the current Tx message. - Example diagnostic logging configuration
files included. - Use system localization for date fields in Log QSO dialog.
- Improvements to audio input and output buffer sizes. - wsprd: Fails
gracefully if data directory does not exist. - wsjtx_app_version: new utility
to print application version string. - Regression causing incorrect working
frequency selection when changing modes repaired. - Regression with QSO
initiation with "Best S&P" repaired. - Updated installation instructions
for
macOS covering M1 hardware. - Improved compatibility is Debian 9 required
distribution packages. - Repair regression with missing time-stamps in the
ALL.TXT journal. - Allow hamlib_settings.json to work with PTT only
configurations so that optional PTT sharing on RTS or DTR can be enabled. -
Several improvements to main window sizing and layout. - Repair regression
with OpenSSL libraries being required when LoTW highlighting is not enabled.
- Repair a defect that caused 2 by 1 callsigns to be incorrectly parsed
as non-standard. - Several updates to international UI translations.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc2 Nov 16, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 2 fixes issues
found in RC1 and includes some new functionality that missed the RC1 cut off
deadline. - Dropped audio samples message box removed, warnings and errors
for these are now sent to the WSJT-X system log. - FST4W spots to
WSPRNet.org will be augmented such that the server can distinguish the mode
being spotted. Spots to
WSPRNet.org will no longer be restricted to WSPR
sub-bands. - A new internal system and data logging facility used to
provide trace, debug, information, warning, error, and fatal error
messages. The verbosity and filtering of messages is user definable via a
configuration file. Without a configuration file a basic log is written with
information, warning and error messages only. Log files are automatically
rotated to limit disk usage. - Due to some users using inappropriate
multicast IP addresses for their interoperating severs the default
behaviour now is to only send multicast UDP datagrams to the loop-back
network interface. Users who require WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol datagrams
to reach other hosts will now have to configure WSJT-X to send on an
appropriate network interface, and use an appropriately scoped multicast
group address for their server applications. If you are not sure then
224.0.0.1 (or ff02::1 if IPv6 is desired) is a safe choice.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1 Sept 28, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 is a program upgrade offering two
new modes designed especially for use on the LF and MF bands. FST4 is for
2-way QSOs, and FST4W is for WSPR-like transmissions. Both modes offer a range
of options for T/R sequence lengths and threshold decoding sensitivities
extending well into the -40 dB range. Early tests have shown these modes
frequently spanning intercontinental distances on the 2200 m and 630 m bands.
Further details and operating hints can be found in the "Quick-Start Guide to
FST4 and FST4W", posted on the WSJT web site:
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1
is a beta-quality release candidate for a program upgrade that provides a
number of new features, capabilities, and defect repairs. These include: -
New modes FST4 and FST4W targeting LF and MF bands. - Improved noise baseline
discovery for more reliable SNR estimates. - On the waterfall and 2D spectrum
a tool-tip shows the frequency offset under the mouse pointer. - The *On Dx
Echo* Doppler compensation method has been modified in response to feedback
from Users. Basic functionality is unchanged. See the User Guide (Section
8.1) for more information. - Improved user_hardware script or program
initiation for WSPR band-hopping mode. - Decoded QSO mode message
display narrowed to make appended information easier to view without
scrolling the window. - Option to record the propagation mode in logged QSO
records. - ADIF v3.1.1 compliance. - Option to connect to PSKReporter using
TCP/IP for those with very poor Internet connections. - Major rewrite of
the PSKReporter interface to improve efficiency and reduce traffic levels.
- Removal of the Tab 2 generated messages. - Accessibility improvements to the
UI. - Tweaked decode speed options for a better user experience with lower

Update Information:
Update to hamlib 4.1 and rebuild dependencies. ---- WSJT-X 2.3.0 General
Availability release adds the new modes FST4 and FST4W along with many defect
repairs. See summaries below and for the prior release candidates (2.3.0-rc1
through -rc4) of this version for details. - FST4/W: Disable envelope
shaping at start and end of transmission when environment variable
FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too. - Add time stamp to error message
boxes to aid diagnosis. - Repair a defect that caused crashes at start up for
some macOS Big Sur users. - Repair a defect that could cause the jt9 slow
mode decoder process to exit incorrectly with a failure status. - Updated
CTY.DAT file. Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc4
Jan 26, 2021 ------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release
Candidate 4 is a stop-gap release while some recent important Hamlib changes
are being verified. Also included are the following regression and defect
repairs. - The wsprd command line tool uses the current working directory for
the data file directory if it is not specified. - Updates to the language
translations of the WSJT-X user Interface. Release: WSJT-X
2.3.0-rc3 Jan 6, 2021
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 3 adds an improved
FST4W decoder and fixes several defects and regressions discovered since
the second release candidate. - FST4W: Improve FST4W decoder sensitivity
on fading channels and decrease false decode rate. FST4W uses 50-bit
messages and a 24-bit CRC. The 74-bit message+CRC is encoded into a
240-bit codeword. Received messages are decoded by two different decoders:
(i) a ���belief propagation��� (BP) decoder and (ii) an ordered statistics
decoder (OSD). The ordered statistics decoder has a knob that allows any
or all CRC bits to be treated as additional parity bits rather than as part
of the message+CRC field. Thus, the OSD decoder can decode the
received message as a (240,50+Nc) code, where Nc is any integer between 0
and 24. In the RC1 and RC2 releases the OSD decoding attempt treated the
code as a (240,64) code (14-bit CRC). This release uses 2 OSD decoding
attempts that treat the received word as (i) a (240,66) code with 16-bit CRC
and code rate 0.308 and (ii) a (240,50) code with no CRC and code rate 0.208.
Codewords returned by the (240,50) CRC-less decoding attempt are unpacked
and the decode is printed only if it contains a callsign/grid pair that
have been previously decoded by the belief propagation decoder (which
treats the code as a (240,74) code with 24-bit CRC) or the ordered
statistics decoder configured for (240,66) (16-bit CRC). The
callsign/grid memory is stored in file ���fst4w_calls.txt��� which resides in
the data directory. - FT8: Fixed a crash triggered by double clicking on the
waterfall to invoke a decode of a signal in the preceding T/R interval. -
FST4W: Do not save .c2 files. - FST4W: Correct a bug that could cause
incorrect operation when using negative noise blanker (NB) percentage to
trigger looping over a range of NB percentages. - fst4sim: Added simulation
of Lorentzian fading spectrum, invoked by negative fspread values. - Color
highlighting scheme window fixed in dark mode. - Reports sent by QSO partners
to other stations no longer logged in error. - UDP Status(1) message now
includes the current Tx message. - Example diagnostic logging configuration
files included. - Use system localization for date fields in Log QSO dialog.
- Improvements to audio input and output buffer sizes. - wsprd: Fails
gracefully if data directory does not exist. - wsjtx_app_version: new utility
to print application version string. - Regression causing incorrect working
frequency selection when changing modes repaired. - Regression with QSO
initiation with "Best S&P" repaired. - Updated installation instructions
for
macOS covering M1 hardware. - Improved compatibility is Debian 9 required
distribution packages. - Repair regression with missing time-stamps in the
ALL.TXT journal. - Allow hamlib_settings.json to work with PTT only
configurations so that optional PTT sharing on RTS or DTR can be enabled. -
Several improvements to main window sizing and layout. - Repair regression
with OpenSSL libraries being required when LoTW highlighting is not enabled.
- Repair a defect that caused 2 by 1 callsigns to be incorrectly parsed
as non-standard. - Several updates to international UI translations.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc2 Nov 16, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 2 fixes issues
found in RC1 and includes some new functionality that missed the RC1 cut off
deadline. - Dropped audio samples message box removed, warnings and errors
for these are now sent to the WSJT-X system log. - FST4W spots to
WSPRNet.org will be augmented such that the server can distinguish the mode
being spotted. Spots to
WSPRNet.org will no longer be restricted to WSPR
sub-bands. - A new internal system and data logging facility used to
provide trace, debug, information, warning, error, and fatal error
messages. The verbosity and filtering of messages is user definable via a
configuration file. Without a configuration file a basic log is written with
information, warning and error messages only. Log files are automatically
rotated to limit disk usage. - Due to some users using inappropriate
multicast IP addresses for their interoperating severs the default
behaviour now is to only send multicast UDP datagrams to the loop-back
network interface. Users who require WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol datagrams
to reach other hosts will now have to configure WSJT-X to send on an
appropriate network interface, and use an appropriately scoped multicast
group address for their server applications. If you are not sure then
224.0.0.1 (or ff02::1 if IPv6 is desired) is a safe choice.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1 Sept 28, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 is a program upgrade offering two
new modes designed especially for use on the LF and MF bands. FST4 is for
2-way QSOs, and FST4W is for WSPR-like transmissions. Both modes offer a range
of options for T/R sequence lengths and threshold decoding sensitivities
extending well into the -40 dB range. Early tests have shown these modes
frequently spanning intercontinental distances on the 2200 m and 630 m bands.
Further details and operating hints can be found in the "Quick-Start Guide to
FST4 and FST4W", posted on the WSJT web site:
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1

Update Information:
Update to hamlib 4.1 and rebuild dependencies. ---- WSJT-X 2.3.0 General
Availability release adds the new modes FST4 and FST4W along with many defect
repairs. See summaries below and for the prior release candidates (2.3.0-rc1
through -rc4) of this version for details. - FST4/W: Disable envelope
shaping at start and end of transmission when environment variable
FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too. - Add time stamp to error message
boxes to aid diagnosis. - Repair a defect that caused crashes at start up for
some macOS Big Sur users. - Repair a defect that could cause the jt9 slow
mode decoder process to exit incorrectly with a failure status. - Updated
CTY.DAT file. Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc4
Jan 26, 2021 ------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release
Candidate 4 is a stop-gap release while some recent important Hamlib changes
are being verified. Also included are the following regression and defect
repairs. - The wsprd command line tool uses the current working directory for
the data file directory if it is not specified. - Updates to the language
translations of the WSJT-X user Interface. Release: WSJT-X
2.3.0-rc3 Jan 6, 2021
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 3 adds an improved
FST4W decoder and fixes several defects and regressions discovered since
the second release candidate. - FST4W: Improve FST4W decoder sensitivity
on fading channels and decrease false decode rate. FST4W uses 50-bit
messages and a 24-bit CRC. The 74-bit message+CRC is encoded into a
240-bit codeword. Received messages are decoded by two different decoders:
(i) a ���belief propagation��� (BP) decoder and (ii) an ordered statistics
decoder (OSD). The ordered statistics decoder has a knob that allows any
or all CRC bits to be treated as additional parity bits rather than as part
of the message+CRC field. Thus, the OSD decoder can decode the
received message as a (240,50+Nc) code, where Nc is any integer between 0
and 24. In the RC1 and RC2 releases the OSD decoding attempt treated the
code as a (240,64) code (14-bit CRC). This release uses 2 OSD decoding
attempts that treat the received word as (i) a (240,66) code with 16-bit CRC
and code rate 0.308 and (ii) a (240,50) code with no CRC and code rate 0.208.
Codewords returned by the (240,50) CRC-less decoding attempt are unpacked
and the decode is printed only if it contains a callsign/grid pair that
have been previously decoded by the belief propagation decoder (which
treats the code as a (240,74) code with 24-bit CRC) or the ordered
statistics decoder configured for (240,66) (16-bit CRC). The
callsign/grid memory is stored in file ���fst4w_calls.txt��� which resides in
the data directory. - FT8: Fixed a crash triggered by double clicking on the
waterfall to invoke a decode of a signal in the preceding T/R interval. -
FST4W: Do not save .c2 files. - FST4W: Correct a bug that could cause
incorrect operation when using negative noise blanker (NB) percentage to
trigger looping over a range of NB percentages. - fst4sim: Added simulation
of Lorentzian fading spectrum, invoked by negative fspread values. - Color
highlighting scheme window fixed in dark mode. - Reports sent by QSO partners
to other stations no longer logged in error. - UDP Status(1) message now
includes the current Tx message. - Example diagnostic logging configuration
files included. - Use system localization for date fields in Log QSO dialog.
- Improvements to audio input and output buffer sizes. - wsprd: Fails
gracefully if data directory does not exist. - wsjtx_app_version: new utility
to print application version string. - Regression causing incorrect working
frequency selection when changing modes repaired. - Regression with QSO
initiation with "Best S&P" repaired. - Updated installation instructions
for
macOS covering M1 hardware. - Improved compatibility is Debian 9 required
distribution packages. - Repair regression with missing time-stamps in the
ALL.TXT journal. - Allow hamlib_settings.json to work with PTT only
configurations so that optional PTT sharing on RTS or DTR can be enabled. -
Several improvements to main window sizing and layout. - Repair regression
with OpenSSL libraries being required when LoTW highlighting is not enabled.
- Repair a defect that caused 2 by 1 callsigns to be incorrectly parsed
as non-standard. - Several updates to international UI translations.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc2 Nov 16, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 2 fixes issues
found in RC1 and includes some new functionality that missed the RC1 cut off
deadline. - Dropped audio samples message box removed, warnings and errors
for these are now sent to the WSJT-X system log. - FST4W spots to
WSPRNet.org will be augmented such that the server can distinguish the mode
being spotted. Spots to
WSPRNet.org will no longer be restricted to WSPR
sub-bands. - A new internal system and data logging facility used to
provide trace, debug, information, warning, error, and fatal error
messages. The verbosity and filtering of messages is user definable via a
configuration file. Without a configuration file a basic log is written with
information, warning and error messages only. Log files are automatically
rotated to limit disk usage. - Due to some users using inappropriate
multicast IP addresses for their interoperating severs the default
behaviour now is to only send multicast UDP datagrams to the loop-back
network interface. Users who require WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol datagrams
to reach other hosts will now have to configure WSJT-X to send on an
appropriate network interface, and use an appropriately scoped multicast
group address for their server applications. If you are not sure then
224.0.0.1 (or ff02::1 if IPv6 is desired) is a safe choice.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1 Sept 28, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 is a program upgrade offering two
new modes designed especially for use on the LF and MF bands. FST4 is for
2-way QSOs, and FST4W is for WSPR-like transmissions. Both modes offer a range
of options for T/R sequence lengths and threshold decoding sensitivities
extending well into the -40 dB range. Early tests have shown these modes
frequently spanning intercontinental distances on the 2200 m and 630 m bands.
Further details and operating hints can be found in the "Quick-Start Guide to
FST4 and FST4W", posted on the WSJT web site:
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1
is a beta-quality release candidate for a program upgrade that provides a
number of new features, capabilities, and defect repairs. These include: -
New modes FST4 and FST4W targeting LF and MF bands. - Improved noise baseline
discovery for more reliable SNR estimates. - On the waterfall and 2D spectrum
a tool-tip shows the frequency offset under the mouse pointer. - The *On Dx
Echo* Doppler compensation method has been modified in response to feedback
from Users. Basic functionality is unchanged. See the User Guide (Section
8.1) for more information. - Improved user_hardware script or program
initiation for WSPR band-hopping mode. - Decoded QSO mode message
display narrowed to make appended information easier to view without
scrolling the window. - Option to record the propagation mode in logged QSO
records. - ADIF v3.1.1 compliance. - Option to connect to PSKReporter using
TCP/IP for those with very poor Internet connections. - Major rewrite of
the PSKReporter interface to improve efficiency and reduce traffic levels.
- Removal of the Tab 2 generated messages. - Accessibility improvements to the
UI. - Tweaked decode speed options for a better user experience with lower
powered single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. - Updates to UI
translations in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese,
Danish, and Japanese. - Audio devices only enumerated when starting up and
opening the "Settings->Audio" device lists. - Option to select the
default
audio device removed to minimize the likelihood of system sounds being
transmitted. - Better handling of missing audio devices. - Improved and
enhanced meta-data saved to .WAV files. - More reliable multi-instance
support. - Included CTY.DAT file moved to installation share directory. -
The bundled Hamlib library is updated to the latest available which fixes
several regressions, defects, and adds new rig support. - Fixed some edge-case
message packing and unpacking defects and ambiguities. - Fix a defect that
allowed non-CQ messages to be replied to via the UDP Message Protocol. -
Fix a long-standing defect with Tx start timing. - Repair a defect with style
sheets when switching configurations. - Repair defects that made the
astronomical data window an several main window controls unreadable when
using the dark style sheet. - Repair a regression with setting WSPR
transmitted power levels. - Repair a regression with newly created ADIF log
file's header. - Many other defects repaired.

Update Information:
Update to hamlib 4.1 and rebuild dependencies. ---- WSJT-X 2.3.0 General
Availability release adds the new modes FST4 and FST4W along with many defect
repairs. See summaries below and for the prior release candidates (2.3.0-rc1
through -rc4) of this version for details. - FST4/W: Disable envelope
shaping at start and end of transmission when environment variable
FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too. - Add time stamp to error message
boxes to aid diagnosis. - Repair a defect that caused crashes at start up for
some macOS Big Sur users. - Repair a defect that could cause the jt9 slow
mode decoder process to exit incorrectly with a failure status. - Updated
CTY.DAT file. Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc4
Jan 26, 2021 ------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release
Candidate 4 is a stop-gap release while some recent important Hamlib changes
are being verified. Also included are the following regression and defect
repairs. - The wsprd command line tool uses the current working directory for
the data file directory if it is not specified. - Updates to the language
translations of the WSJT-X user Interface. Release: WSJT-X
2.3.0-rc3 Jan 6, 2021
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 3 adds an improved
FST4W decoder and fixes several defects and regressions discovered since
the second release candidate. - FST4W: Improve FST4W decoder sensitivity
on fading channels and decrease false decode rate. FST4W uses 50-bit
messages and a 24-bit CRC. The 74-bit message+CRC is encoded into a
240-bit codeword. Received messages are decoded by two different decoders:
(i) a ���belief propagation��� (BP) decoder and (ii) an ordered statistics
decoder (OSD). The ordered statistics decoder has a knob that allows any
or all CRC bits to be treated as additional parity bits rather than as part
of the message+CRC field. Thus, the OSD decoder can decode the
received message as a (240,50+Nc) code, where Nc is any integer between 0
and 24. In the RC1 and RC2 releases the OSD decoding attempt treated the
code as a (240,64) code (14-bit CRC). This release uses 2 OSD decoding
attempts that treat the received word as (i) a (240,66) code with 16-bit CRC
and code rate 0.308 and (ii) a (240,50) code with no CRC and code rate 0.208.
Codewords returned by the (240,50) CRC-less decoding attempt are unpacked
and the decode is printed only if it contains a callsign/grid pair that
have been previously decoded by the belief propagation decoder (which
treats the code as a (240,74) code with 24-bit CRC) or the ordered
statistics decoder configured for (240,66) (16-bit CRC). The
callsign/grid memory is stored in file ���fst4w_calls.txt��� which resides in
the data directory. - FT8: Fixed a crash triggered by double clicking on the
waterfall to invoke a decode of a signal in the preceding T/R interval. -
FST4W: Do not save .c2 files. - FST4W: Correct a bug that could cause
incorrect operation when using negative noise blanker (NB) percentage to
trigger looping over a range of NB percentages. - fst4sim: Added simulation
of Lorentzian fading spectrum, invoked by negative fspread values. - Color
highlighting scheme window fixed in dark mode. - Reports sent by QSO partners
to other stations no longer logged in error. - UDP Status(1) message now
includes the current Tx message. - Example diagnostic logging configuration
files included. - Use system localization for date fields in Log QSO dialog.
- Improvements to audio input and output buffer sizes. - wsprd: Fails
gracefully if data directory does not exist. - wsjtx_app_version: new utility
to print application version string. - Regression causing incorrect working
frequency selection when changing modes repaired. - Regression with QSO
initiation with "Best S&P" repaired. - Updated installation instructions
for
macOS covering M1 hardware. - Improved compatibility is Debian 9 required
distribution packages. - Repair regression with missing time-stamps in the
ALL.TXT journal. - Allow hamlib_settings.json to work with PTT only
configurations so that optional PTT sharing on RTS or DTR can be enabled. -
Several improvements to main window sizing and layout. - Repair regression
with OpenSSL libraries being required when LoTW highlighting is not enabled.
- Repair a defect that caused 2 by 1 callsigns to be incorrectly parsed
as non-standard. - Several updates to international UI translations.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc2 Nov 16, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 Release Candidate 2 fixes issues
found in RC1 and includes some new functionality that missed the RC1 cut off
deadline. - Dropped audio samples message box removed, warnings and errors
for these are now sent to the WSJT-X system log. - FST4W spots to
WSPRNet.org will be augmented such that the server can distinguish the mode
being spotted. Spots to
WSPRNet.org will no longer be restricted to WSPR
sub-bands. - A new internal system and data logging facility used to
provide trace, debug, information, warning, error, and fatal error
messages. The verbosity and filtering of messages is user definable via a
configuration file. Without a configuration file a basic log is written with
information, warning and error messages only. Log files are automatically
rotated to limit disk usage. - Due to some users using inappropriate
multicast IP addresses for their interoperating severs the default
behaviour now is to only send multicast UDP datagrams to the loop-back
network interface. Users who require WSJT-X UDP Message Protocol datagrams
to reach other hosts will now have to configure WSJT-X to send on an
appropriate network interface, and use an appropriately scoped multicast
group address for their server applications. If you are not sure then
224.0.0.1 (or ff02::1 if IPv6 is desired) is a safe choice.
Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1 Sept 28, 2020
------------------------- WSJT-X 2.3.0 is a program upgrade offering two
new modes designed especially for use on the LF and MF bands. FST4 is for
2-way QSOs, and FST4W is for WSPR-like transmissions. Both modes offer a range
of options for T/R sequence lengths and threshold decoding sensitivities
extending well into the -40 dB range. Early tests have shown these modes
frequently spanning intercontinental distances on the 2200 m and 630 m bands.
Further details and operating hints can be found in the "Quick-Start Guide to
FST4 and FST4W", posted on the WSJT web site:
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1
is a beta-quality release candidate for a program upgrade that provides a
number of new features, capabilities, and defect repairs. These include: -
New modes FST4 and FST4W targeting LF and MF bands. - Improved noise baseline
discovery for more reliable SNR estimates. - On the waterfall and 2D spectrum
a tool-tip shows the frequency offset under the mouse pointer. - The *On Dx
Echo* Doppler compensation method has been modified in response to feedback
from Users. Basic functionality is unchanged. See the User Guide (Section
8.1) for more information. - Improved user_hardware script or program
initiation for WSPR band-hopping mode. - Decoded QSO mode message
display narrowed to make appended information easier to view without
scrolling the window. - Option to record the propagation mode in logged QSO
records. - ADIF v3.1.1 compliance. - Option to connect to PSKReporter using
TCP/IP for those with very poor Internet connections. - Major rewrite of
the PSKReporter interface to improve efficiency and reduce traffic levels.
- Removal of the Tab 2 generated messages. - Accessibility improvements to the
UI. - Tweaked decode speed options for a better user experience with lower
powered single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi. - Updates to UI
translations in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese,
Danish, and Japanese. - Audio devices only enumerated when starting up and
opening the "Settings->Audio" device lists. - Option to select the
default
audio device removed to minimize the likelihood of system sounds being
transmitted. - Better handling of missing audio devices. - Improved and
enhanced meta-data saved to .WAV files. - More reliable multi-instance
support. - Included CTY.DAT file moved to installation share directory. -
The bundled Hamlib library is updated to the latest available which fixes
several regressions, defects, and adds new rig support. - Fixed some edge-case
message packing and unpacking defects and ambiguities. - Fix a defect that
allowed non-CQ messages to be replied to via the UDP Message Protocol. -
Fix a long-standing defect with Tx start timing. - Repair a defect with style
sheets when switching configurations. - Repair defects that made the
astronomical data window an several main window controls unreadable when
using the dark style sheet. - Repair a regression with setting WSPR
transmitted power levels. - Repair a regression with newly created ADIF log
file's header. - Many other defects repaired.
