Hi Joe, a couple of suggested amendments for the project web page:
1) The source .tgz file is useful for other *nix systems and it should be available along with the Debian & RPM packages (this source package is not just a tar ball of the WSJT-X source, it is a full source package including the relevant snapshot of the Hamlib 3 sources and a CMake build script to build WSJT-X from it), 2) the Mac installer is for all versions from 10.7 up and there is no need for the other package which is out of date, 3) we should note that the Debian and RPM packages are Ubuntu/Fedora version specific and only really there as place holders until our package maintainers provide the full range of binary packages across versions we support. There are probably some minor documentation updates required, for example a new setting on the Settings->General tab. 73 Bill G4WJS.
