Dear WSJT-X Users,
We are pleased to announce that Release Candidate WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc6 is
ready for download and use by beta testers. This is a bug-fix release;
it addresses problems related to the new SuperFox mode, reported by
users of release candidate 5.
The SuperFox operators at K8R (American Samoa) encourage Hounds to work
them again, in the remaining days of their activity at American Samoa.
This will help us to exercise RC6 thoroughly before putting it to use
for the DXpedition to Jarvis Island, next month.
Further details on program changes since RC5 can be found in the Release
Notes:
https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-doc/Release_Notes_2.7.0-rc6.txt
Please remember that Release Candidates are intended for beta testers.
If you download and use WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc6, please provide relevant
feedback to us on the new features in version 2.7, and on anything that
does not seem to work properly for you.
Direct links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and macOS can
be found on the WSJT-X page https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html
