I see allot of different Rpt v.x.x being displayed for the various

changed, as the version has disappeared. Is this due to reporting
being brought in house or maybe JT-Alert-X impacts this also?
Somewhere around WSJT-X r3500 we stopped sending spots to PSK Reporter
using the DLL written by Philip Gladstone, author of PSK Reporter, and
started using our own code written by Edson, PY2SDR.
The reason I ask is, would it be possible to add the reporting
OS/Agent, Darwin, Windows, Linux etc, to the psk-reports and have it
render in usage statistics? I think this could help prioritize tasks
that have the largest impact on the user base, even though everyone
does not use the psk-reporter function.
Yes, I think this should be possible. Maybe Edson has an opinion.
In the meantime, I'm adding four additional VM's to to test with,
FreeBSD, Arch, Fedora and Slackware. According to Distro-Watch, Mint
has become fairly popular, but that should follow along with Debian
and Ubuntu in terms of installation, package maintenance and source
build testing. According to IDC, Gartner etc, WinXP is second to Win7
but surely that will change when XP goes EOL in a few months time. I
suspect, in the not so distant future, more issues will arise form
Win7/8 than XP. Should we be focused on Win7 as the primary use platform?
Yes, I think the majority of our user base is Win7/8.
Would it make sense to have a blueprint of sorts for testing a core
list of OS / Distro's combinations before a formal release? Obviously
this should be a short list, but, could provide some valuable data to
developers.
Sounds reasonable to me.
