Hi Marco,
As you know, Windowzie is this “same pants fit everyone” system, which
means WSJT-X only needs
one place to pull a new version of Hamlib from.
But Unix/Linux is far more versatile. You can run it on a wide range of
distributions
such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Raspberry Pi OS, Red Hat, or whatever
else you prefer.
You can even set up your own “distro” if you want to.
Because of this diversity, it would be very difficult for WSJT-X to know
where to
download a new version of Hamlib from — assuming such a package even exists.
However, there is a workaround. You just need to install whatever
version of Hamlib
you want on your system, start the `rigctld` daemon with the parameters
suitable for your rig,
and select “Hamlib NET rigctl” as your radio in WSJT-X.
Granted, this requires some IT skills beyond those of an “appliance
user,” but it’s
definitely doable.

Hello,
Why only Windows version of WSJTX has the feature to upgrade/roll-back
Hamlib from within the program?
In Linux, at least if you use the WSJTX source-code, in order to get
the updated Hamlib version, you need to recompile the code!
I think that WSJTX for Linux has limited features in comparison to
Windows.
I would like to get the same.
