[Ham-Mac] WSJT

[David Anderson GM4JJJ]

Perhaps a Mac version will not be too far away:-


To:      Users of WSJT
From:    Joe Taylor, K1JT (for the WSJT Working Group)
Subject: WSJT 5.9.2
Date:    January 16, 2006

The WSJT Working Group is pleased to announce that Version 5.9.2 is  
available for free download at http://pulsar.princeton.edu/~joe/K1JT.  
It should appear soon on the European mirror site, http:// 
www.dk5ya.de, as well.

Improvements over previous versions are summarized at http:// 
pulsar.princeton.edu/~joe/K1JT/UpdateHistory.txt.  They include  
enhancements to the decoders for FSK441, JT6M, and JT65 modes, the  
ability to set on-screen font sizes, several new keyboard shortcuts,  
some bug fixes, and more.

WSJT is no longer a one-person effort, and the program no longer runs  
only under Microsoft Windows.  It is now a full-fledged Open Source  
project, with an active working group making contributions to future  
development.  The first significant result of the group effort has  
been to create versions of WSJT that run under the Linux and FreeBSD  
operating systems.  Porting WSJT to the Macintosh OS/X platform  
should also be straightforward, but has not yet been done.

Source code for WSJT is stored in a public repository under control  
of a version control system called "Subversion", or SVN.  You can  
learn more about the WSJT development efforts at http:// 
developer.berlios.de/projects/wsjt/.

If you are interested in testing and using WSJT on your own Linux or  
FreeBSD system, we'd like to hear from you.  Warning: we have not yet  
created generalized installation packages for WSJT on Linux or  
FreeBSD; the present versions are intended mainly for programmers who  
are knowledgeable about their operating systems and have at least  
passing familiarity with Python, C, and Fortran.

If you feel that you can usefully contribute to the future  
development of WSJT on any platform, we would also like to hear from  
you!  We could use help with documentation and website maintenance,  
as well as actual programming and algorithm development.

The present WSJT working group consists of:

     Diane Bruce, VA3DB
     James Courtier-Dutton
     Bob McGwier, N4HY
     Jonathan Naylor, ON/G4KLX
     Stewart Nelson, KK7KA
     Joe Taylor, K1JT
     Kaj Wiik, OH6EH
