Release: WSJT-X 2.5.0-rc2
Jun 28, 2021
-------------------------
This release repairs several MAP65 defects and omissions discovered in
the first release candidate, it also repairs some regressions in
WSJT-X, including some in the Hamlib library.
Changes for MAP65:
- Implement linear drift compensation for Q65 mode when FTol >100 Hz.
- Implement a "Max drift" UI control for Q65.
- Repair a regression which omitted signal meter scales.
- Basic instruction document for building an MS Windows portaudio DLL
for MAP65 users who are unable to use WDM/KS drivers for their
multi-channel sound cards.
Changes for WSJT-X:
- Implement linear drift compensation for Q65 mode when FTol >100 Hz.
- Implement a "Max drift" UI control for Q65.
- Repair a long standing regression with message generation for
72-bit modes when using a compound callsign.
- Message averaging window no longer available in Q65 mode as it is
not relevant.
- Improvements to the frequency/band combo box pop up list width to
address a regression occurring in recent releases.
- Updated CTY database.
- Repair a defect in diagnostic logging that could cause crashes on
some platforms.
- Repair a defect which failed to strip leading and trailing spaces
on input of callsigns during validation.
- Hamlib updates including repair of defects with PTT handling on a
separate serial port via rigctld, delayed PTT with Elecraft K3
series rigs, and support for the Icom IC-575 rig.
