=== New in Version 1.7
For quick reference, here's a short list of features and capabilities
added to _WSJT-X_ since Version 1.6.0:
- New modes: ISCAT, MSK144, QRA64
- Newly implemented submodes: JT65B-C, JT9B-H
- Fast submodes of JT9E-H
- New Franke-Taylor decoder to replace the Koetter-Vardy decoder
previously used for JT65. Separate program `kvasd[.exe]` is no longer
used.
- Improvements to the JT4, JT9, and JT65 decoders
- Multi-pass decoding for JT65 and WSPR. Decoded signals are
subtracted from the received data, allowing decoding of weaker
signals that were otherwise masked.
- Improved convenience features for EME Doppler tracking
- Saving and restoring of multiple program configurations
- Sample-file download facility
- Many corrections and improvements to the Hamlib library, fixing
balky rig-control features
- Power settings for Transmit and Tune remembered and optionally
restored for each band
