available

Dear Users,

I'm glad to announce a "250501" update of WSJT-X Improved 2.8.0, which
brings the following improvements:

In programs QMAP and MAP65:

*	Introduction of a new "LiveCQ" feature. It allows messages that you
decode with QMAP and/or MAP65 to be uploaded automatically via the internet
to the new website: https://w3sz.com/livecq.html. The idea is to provide
spots of active EME stations so that others will know where to look. Read
section 16.14 of the User Guide
<https://wsjt-x-improved.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-main_en.html#_livecq>  for
more information.
*	Fixed a long-standing flaw in QMAP which could cause the program to
crash after a few hours of operation.

In program WSJT-X:

*	The dial frequency can now be controlled via mouse (useful for EME
operations, or when a DXpedition is not on the standard DXp QRGs).  If you
hover the mouse pointer over the frequency display, you have two new
options:

*	Left-click to decrease the rig dial frequency by 1 kHz, or
right-click to increase it by 1 kHz.
*	Turn the mouse wheel to scroll the kHz values.

*	You can now choose between “worked today” and “worked today or
yesterday” for the three respective Hide/Ignore/Highlight Quick Filters.
Switching is done via a new checkbox under Settings/Filters.
*	Fixed some inconsistencies around the Tx watchdog. The countdown now
only starts when Enable Tx is active (important for Wait & Call).
*	Repeated use of the rig (ATU) tuning function now works more
reliably.
*	Minor bug fixes and performance improvements.
*	Slightly more detailed explanations in the WSJT-X Improved User
Guide <https://wsjt-x-improved.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-main_en.html> .
*	Update to Hamlib 4.6.2.
*	Last not least: The Qt6 source code can now also be compiled with Qt
6.8.x (important for Linux Fedora, etc.).
