WSJT-X_v2.7.0-rc1 is the first Release Candidate that introduces a new QMAP WSJT-X 2.7.0 Release Candidate 1 introduces a new program called QMAP,

other enhancements and fixes. other enhancements and fixes.

submodes of Q65. Decoding results are shared with WSJT-X, which manages
operator interactions and rig control.
- WSJT-X can cooperate with QMAP via shared memory. In such operation WSJT-X
provides a narrow (up to 5 kHz) view in which to conduct EME QSOs with
full Doppler control, T/R switching, message sequencing, etc., and QMAP
provides a wideband (90 kHz) view of all digital EME activity on the band.
- The Q65 decoder has been enhanced for better performance. These improvements
apply to decodes made in WSJT-X and also to those made in QMAP, which uses
the identical downstream code.
- QMAP provides most of the capabilities of map65, excert for adaptive

Redundant spots are omitted, and posting of spots is now spread
