Hi Joe,
I downloaded and installed the Ubuntu Bionic(18.04) x86-64 package from
your site. No issues with the install; it's up and monitoring 30m FT8.
I built the source package with pbuilder for Bionic(18.04). No issues,
so I am pushing the source tgz to Launchpad for Bionic:
One issue with Disco (19.04), readline7, so I won't be publishing that
distribution today. Likewise, Xenial (16.04) is having issues with the
qttools5-dev package. Not sure what's going on there as it's available
in the distribution. Will need to investigate further.
Assuming no build failures on Bionic, the package(s) should be published
in an hour or so when the slower servers finish.
Launchpad .......: https://launchpad.net/~ki7mt/+archive/ubuntu/wsjtx
Current Version..: WSJT-X v2.1.0 GA Release
Ubuntu Distros...: Bionic
Supported Arch...: i386, amd64, armv7, armv8, ppc64el
I am not certain, but, I thought I read that Debian was including these
newer versions of WSJT-X at the distribution level. If so, that would be
really good news and negate the need for PPA's.

The WSJT Development Group is pleased to announce the general
availability (GA) release of WSJT-X Version 2.1.0.
WSJT-X 2.1 is a major upgrade that introduces FT4, a new protocol for HF
contesting. Improvements have also been made in the following areas:
- FT8 waveform generation using GMSK, fully backward compatible
- user options for low-sidelobe waterfall and spectrum display
- UDP messaging for inter-program communication
- accessibility
... as well as many minor enhancements and bug fixes.
We now provide a separate installation package for 64-bit Windows,
offering significant improvements in decoding speed.
A more detailed list of program changes since WSJT-X 2.0.1 can be found
in the cumulative Release Notes:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/Release_Notes.txt
Upgrading from earlier versions of WSJT-X should be seamless. There is
no need to uninstall a previous version or move any files.
Please do not continue to use any release candidate -- that is, any beta
release with "-rc#" in the version name.
Links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh are
available here:

You can also download the packages from our SourceForge site:

It may take a short time for the SourceForge site to be updated.
