- In Fox mode, there are now a few additional functions that allow
operators to react even better to different QSO situations:
- A new two-column table in Tab 2 provides a better overview of
the queue and of the callsigns in QSO.
- The operator can now change the order of QSOs in the queue so
that he can react if there is only a narrow time slot for a
particular QSO due to propagation.
- The Fox now responds for another two cycles to stations whose
report was not received, increasing the success rate for a QSO.

- Correct a flaw in Hound mode that sometimes prevented completion of
QSOs with non-standard calls.
- Improvements to EME Echo mode:
- New control "Avg" sets the number of Echo cycles to be averaged.
- New capability to display measurements of wideband noise power as
a function of time. This can be useful for measuring Sun noise,
antenna tracking errors, and the like.
- Several minor bug fixes
- Correct a flaw that prevented WSJT-X from always initializing
correctly when special operating activities were enabled.
- Correct a flaw that caused wrong frequencies to be written to
ALL.TXT for Tx.
