Hi all,
some of you have reported a crash on startup, thanks to those who have
provided the crash report.
I can confirm there is a defect which appears to be in the underlying Qt
library we use for cross platform portability. The issue is fixed in Qt
v5.11 but using that will entail dropping support for macOS Yosemite
(10.10), that will probably happen at the next release of WSJT-X.
In the meantime there is a workaround with some minor loss of
functionality. The crash happens in code to read the LoTW user file
downloaded from the ARRL LoTW web site. WSJT-X will function without
that file but without highlighting of known LoTW user's CQ calls. To
avoid the issue delete following file:
~/Library/"Application Support"/WSJT-X/lotw-user-activity.csv
Once deleted you should not use the "Preferences->Colors->Logbook of the
World user Validation->Fetch" button until this issue is resolved.
Note that this issue is not affecting all users, if you are not seeing
this crash then you may be able to continue using WSJT-X v2.1.0 without
taking the action.
