Release: WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc3
August 22, 2022
----------------------
WSJT-X 2.6.0 Release Candidate 3 provides improvements to Echo mode and
several bug fixes.
- Echo mode now allows audio-frequency corrections rather than
CAT-controlled resetting of dial frequency for Doppler corrections,
when Doppler shift is less than half the audio bandwidth.
- Echo mode now saves .wav files when "Save all" is selected.
- We added a missing Leap Second (January 1, 2017) to the code that
converts UTC to UT1. (This might matter if you want full accuracy
EME Doppler corrections.)
- Fix a bug that could truncate WSPR transmissions early.
- Round off displayed EME Doppler values to nearest integer Hz.
- Fix a bug that occasionally caused a crash when 'decoded.txt'
could not be opened.
- For backward compatibility, "Special Operating Activity"
enumerations for Fox and Hound modes are reset to 6 and 7.
- Fix a bug that could cause a crash if Astronomical Data window
is not active when needed.
- Allow FST4W transmissions on 30m band. Ensure that correct
frequency is reported to WSPRnet for FST4W decodes with Rx Freq
spinbox not set to 1500.
- Fix a bug that caused a crash when "Reset Cabrillo Log" is
selected with Active Stations window not active.
