Thanks for all you developers do! N8GT Sent from my iPhone On Jan 1, 2026, at 12:19 PM, Joseph Taylor via wsjt-devel <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi Robert, This list is the right place for your query about WSJT development issues. The git repository for the WSJT project (including WSJT-X, MAP65, QMAP, and many associated utility programs) is not currently public. New software releases are always accompanied by a tarfile snapshot containing source code, required resources, and build instructions. Links for tarballs associated with WSJT-X 2.7.0 and WSJT-X 3.0.0-rc1 are available on the main WSJT-X page here: https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html . Building with gfortran and g++ on an x64 Ubuntu machine should work well. Some of our code originated in the days of Fortran 77, and even earlier. Modern compilers and coding standards may reasonably find things to complain about — and without doubt there are many ways in which the code can be improved for readability and maintainability. Major refactoring of the C++ GUI code is also desirable. We tend to devote time to improved features and performance, before fixing what isn't broken but could certainly be improved. We're always looking for help from interested parties. If you believe you've identified "errors [that] have been there forever," please document and report them to us. We always welcome patches submitted for review, and other suggested improvements. If you'd like to participate in a more formal way, please let us know. I mentioned earlier that our active git repository is not currently public. This has been done because in the past, some forks of our work have taken original ideas still in development and released them in competing software, even before some of the essential parameters had been frozen. We may go back to a public repository some time soon, with more formal procedures for tracking issues, accepting pull requests, etc. Once again: if you are interested in some regular participation in this project, do let us know! The same invitation goes for others, of course. There are plenty of opportunities to make significant contributions to a worldwide group effort. -- 73, Joe, K1JT ________________________________ From: Robert Henry via wsjt-devel <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2025 4:03 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Robert Henry <[email protected]> Subject: [wsjt-devel] Bug reporting? (newb) WSJT, WSJTX, WSJTX-I developers: I'm a newb to developing WSJT and its spawn. It isn't clear which mailing lists are active and preferred. It isn't clear if there is a single definitive git repository I can fork and develop and push. While I wait for more 432 EME hardware to arrive, I thought I'd experiment building and running WSJTX to see what happens, I build and run with the latest gfortran and g++ on an x64 ubuntu machine. I run under valgrind, with the supplied suppressions, and see issues. I rebuild wsjtx using gcc sanitizers undefined and address, and see issues as well. The issues in the f90 code appear to stem from incorrect implicit typing (gag!), or incorrect dimensioning of arrays across procedure boundaries. I suspect these errors have been there forever, and have no way of knowing if their side effects are somehow necessary for the correct operation of the whole program. I've been waiting 50 years to put together an EME station, but didn't realize that in 2025 I'd be dusting off my Fortran from 50 years ago! (My academic and professional skills are in programming languages, now retired.) Any suggestions on how I might proceed to get fixes reviewed and upstreamed? Robert R.
