Subject: [Wsjt-x-improved-community] WSJT-X Improved v2.8.0 "250501" 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 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.
- 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.).
