To: WSJT-X Developers and Testers of Experimental Code

With v1.7.0 r6283 I have made a first cut toward eliminating false 
decodes when the new JT65 decoder is used on a crowded HF band.  I can 
now relax the embargo imposed yesterday (see messages copied below).

If you are helping us with tests of code in the development branch, it's 
again OK to build WSJT-X from the head of the development branch and use 
it (with care) on the air.

AS ALWAYS: PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY BUILD FROM THE DEVELOPMENT BRANCH FOR 
PUBLIC DOWNLOAD.

If you are experimenting with JT65 decoding, take note of the following:

1. On the Settings | Advanced tab, recommended settings for use on the 
HF bands include "Random erasure patterns = 8" and "Aggressive decoding 
level = 0".  It's OK to use "Robust sync" and "Two-pass decoding"; the 
latter, especially, is recommended.  (Settings under "Experience-based 
decoding" presently do nothing.)

2. Hinted decoding can presently be enabled by setting Sync = -1 and 
"Aggressive decoding level" to 1 or higher.  (If you're not sure what 
this means, you should not be using this feature yet.)
