Hi Joe

You could release as v.1.6.0-devel r#### as you do now with the revision 
number and point your site to a repository.

You could even do nightly builds, I have a linux sat box and the openpli 
boys do nightly builds and stable builds with a caveat that nightly builds 
may have unwanted features (crashes :) ), there are a few opensource people 
that do this. As a rule the coders code and a non coder would sort out the 
posting of the nightly builds etc.

On the psk reporter statistics there used to be a few users of the latest 
builds nowadays the numbers have gone up WSJT-X v1.6.1-devel r5418 has 56 
users so the interest is there in the new builds, it's getting the users to 
feedback the bugs. Many users shy from building themselves even though the 
JTSDK makes it easy for even non coders like myself to build the latest 
releases.

Subject: [wsjt-devel] Wanted: Feedback on WSPR in WSJT-X

Hi all,

The feature list of WSJT-X Version 1.6 continues to grow.  A number of
good things are still to come: for example,

  - EME Doppler calculations using the JPL Planetary Ephemeris
  - Improved message averaging for JT4
  - Correlation decoding and message averaging for JT65
  - WSPR-15 mode
  - EME Echo mode
  - User Guide sections on WSPR and VHF+ features

... as well as some much needed behind-the scenes changes such as
refactoring of mainwindow.cpp into smaller pieces, etc., etc.

Notwithstanding the sizable list of "To Do" items, I think it would be
useful to get some more feedback from users on the way WSPR is
implemented in WSJT-X.  I'd like to post a message on the WSPRnet.org
site saying that WSPR mode is now available in a beta release of WSJT-X,
and that we'd like to get some feedback from experienced WSPR users.

Does anyone see a significant downside to doing this ?

If we do the above, what should a released beta be called?  It's not
really a GA release candidate yet, so maybe v1.6.0-rc1 is not the right
thing to call it?

Is there a good reason to wait until after a v1.5.0 GA release ?
