+		   Release: WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc6
+		         May 30, 2019
+		   -------------------------
+		   
+Changes and bug fixes since WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc5:
+
+IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE FT4 PROTOCOL, NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE
+ - T/R sequence length increased from 6.0 to 7.5 seconds
+ - Symbol rate decreased from 23.4375 to 20.8333 baud.
+ - Bandwidth decreased from 90 Hz to 80 Hz
+
+OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
+ - Allowable FT4 time offsets -1.0 < DT < +1.0 s
+ - Allow RRR Tx4 message in FT4 mode, if not using contest messages
+ - Send FT4 audio frequency to PSK Reporter
+ - Add a third decoding pass
+ - Add ordered statistics decoding
+ - Improved sensitivity: threshold S/N is now -17.5 dB
+ - Improvements to accessibility
+ - Updates to the User Guide (not yet complete, however)
+ - New user option: "Calling CQ forces Call 1st"
+ - In FT4 mode, Shift+F11/F12 moves Tx freq by +/- 100 Hz
+ - Improved S/N calculation for FT4 mode
+ - N1MM Logger+ now uses the standard WSJT-X UDP messages
+ - OK/Cancel buttons on Log QSO window maintain fixed positions
+
+BUG FIXES
+ - Fix generation of Tx5 message when one callsign is nonstandard
+ - Fix a bug that prevented use on macOS
+ - Fix a bug that caused mode switch from FT4 to FT8
+ - Fix a bug that caused FT4 to do WSPR-style band hopping
+ - Fix a bug that caused a Fortran bounds error
+
+
+		   Release: WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc5
+		         April 29, 2019
+		   -------------------------
+
+WSJT-X 2.1.0 fifth release candidate is a minor release including the
+following.
+
+ - Repairs a defect that stopped messages from UDP servers being accepted.
+ - Improved message sequencing a QSO end for CQing FT4 stations.
+ - "Best S+P" action times out after two minutes waiting for a candidate.
+ - Updated macOS Info.plist to comply with latest mic. privacy controls.
+ - Multi-pass decoding for FT4 inc. prior decode subtraction.
+ - Fast/Normal/Deep options for the FT4 decoder.
+ - Proposed suggested working frequencies for the new FT4 mode.
+ - Repair a defect in RTTY RU where sequencer fails to advance to Tx3.
+ - Fix a defect where the contest serial # spin box was incorrectly hidden.
+ - Fix defects in ALL.TXT formatting for JT65 and JT9.
+ - Reduce timeout for AP decoding with own call from 10 mins to 5 mins.

+		   Release: WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc4
+		         April 10, 2019
+		   -------------------------
+
+WSJT-X 2.1.0 fourth release candidate is a minor release including the
+following.
+
+ - New "Call Best" button for FT4 mode to select the best reply to a
+   CQ call based on neediness.
+ - Fixed UTC display on FT4 waterfall.
+
+This release is made by invitation only to selected testers to trial
+the FT4 mode in semi-realistic contest simulations and to elicit
+feedback to guide future development.

+		   -------------------------
+
+WSJT-X 2.1.0 third release candidate is an enhancement release to
+change the implementation of the new FT4 mode to a synchronous T/R
+period of 6 seconds.
+
+This release is made by invitation only to selected testers to trial
+the FT4 mode in semi-realistic contest simulations and to elicit
+feedback to guide future development.

+ - A 64-bit package for Windows 64-bit systems
+ - Improved FT4 sync detection speed
+
+This release is made by invitation only to selected testers to trial
+the FT4 mode in semi-realistic contest simulations and to elicit
