Release: WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc1
Jun 15, 2022

since release 2.5.4:

The additionally decoded messages are marked 'a7'.

more convenient switching (useful when menus are hidden).

switched on / off directly via the main program window.
- Add an option to highlight also messages with '73' or 'RR73'.

wrong bands to PSK Reporter after a band change.
- Add a Tune watchdog (90 seconds). It is activated by default to
prevent unwanted transmissions, but can be turned off if required.
- Allow auto reply for non-CQ messages via UDP (JTAlert, etc.) when
Hold Tx Freq is enabled.
- Fix an inconsistancy in the installation package for MacOS that
caused the pwr slider to behave incorrectly on macOS 12.
