Release candidate WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc6 will be available for beta-testing
through July 21, 2019. It will be inoperable during the ARRL June VHF
QSO Party (June 8-10) or ARRL Field Day (June 22-23). It will
permanently cease to function after July 21, 2019. If all goes
according to plan, by that time there will be a General
Availability (GA) release of WSJT-X 2.1.0.
