[Fourlanders] Fwd: [Moon-Net] Release Candidate WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc8

[John Kludt]

Guys,

You all may have already seen this on Moon-Net but it appears to resolve
what over time was a major objection FT8 etc. and that was the inability to
"pass."   Don't know if it can get installed prior to the Jan contest but
it is worth try.

Dear WSJT-X Users,

We are pleased to announce that Release Candidate WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc8 is
ready for download and use by beta testers. This revision introduces a
new Message System primarily intended for contests. Otherwise, RC8 is
mostly a bug-fix release of the well-functioning RC7.

The WSJT-X Message System can be used to invite your QSO partner to QSY
to another frequency or mode (e.g. during contests), or to send some
general short messages. It consists of the Message Creator and the QSY
Monitor. Received messages are displayed as popups. To understand how to
use the Message System, be sure to read Section 8 of the updated WSJT-X
User Guide for RC8.

Additional details on program changes since RC7 can be found in the
Release Notes:
https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx-doc/Release_Notes_2.7.0-rc8.txt

Release Candidates are intended for beta testers. If you download and
use WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc8, please provide relevant feedback on the new
features and anything that does not seem to work properly for you. If
your report involves something related to received signals, be sure to
provide one or more saved *.wav files that illustrate the perceived
problem. As a general matter, you should use the option "Save all" when
testing.

Direct links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and macOS can
be found on the WSJT-X page https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html
Scroll down to the heading "Candidate release: WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc8".

available on the WSJT-X page.

to create a new General Availability (GA) release soon.
