{"update": {"autokarma": true, "autotime": true, "stable_karma": 3, "stable_days": 7, "unstable_karma": -3, "require_bugs": true, "require_testcases": true, "display_name": "", "notes": "WSJT-X 2.3.0 General Availability release  adds the new modes FST4 and\nFST4W along with many defect repairs.  See summaries below and for the\nprior release candidates (2.3.0-rc1 through  -rc4) of this version for\ndetails.\n\n - FST4/W: Disable envelope  shaping at start and  end of transmission\n   when environment variable FST4_NOSHAPING=1. Works for fst4sim too.\n\n - Add time stamp to error message boxes to aid diagnosis.\n\n - Repair a defect that caused crashes  at start up for some macOS Big\n   Sur users.\n\n - Repair a defect that could cause  the jt9 slow mode decoder process\n   to exit incorrectly with a failure status.\n\n - Updated CTY.DAT file.\n\n\n\t\t   Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc4\n\t\t         Jan 26, 2021\n\t\t   -------------------------\n\nWSJT-X  2.3.0 Release  Candidate 4  is a  stop-gap release  while some\nrecent important Hamlib changes are  being verified. Also included are\nthe following regression and defect repairs.\n\n - The wsprd command line tool  uses the current working directory for\n   the data file directory if it is not specified.\n\n - Updates to the language translations of the WSJT-X user Interface.\n\n\n\t\t   Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc3\n\t\t         Jan 6, 2021\n\t\t   -------------------------\n\nWSJT-X 2.3.0  Release Candidate 3  adds an improved FST4W  decoder and\nfixes  several defects  and  regressions discovered  since the  second\nrelease candidate.\n\n - FST4W:  Improve FST4W  decoder sensitivity  on fading  channels and\n   decrease false  decode rate.\n\n   FST4W  uses  50-bit   messages  and  a  24-bit   CRC.   The  74-bit\n   message+CRC is  encoded into a 240-bit  codeword. Received messages\n   are decoded by  two different decoders: (i)  a \u201cbelief propagation\u201d\n   (BP)  decoder and  (ii) an  ordered statistics  decoder (OSD).  The\n   ordered statistics  decoder has a knob  that allows any or  all CRC\n   bits to be treated as additional parity bits rather than as part of\n   the  message+CRC  field.  Thus,  the OSD  decoder  can  decode  the\n   received message  as a  (240,50+Nc) code, where  Nc is  any integer\n   between 0  and 24.  In  the RC1 and  RC2 releases the  OSD decoding\n   attempt  treated the  code as  a (240,64)  code (14-bit  CRC). This\n   release uses 2  OSD decoding attempts that treat  the received word\n   as (i) a (240,66) code with 16-bit CRC and code rate 0.308 and (ii)\n   a (240,50) code with no CRC and code rate 0.208. Codewords returned\n   by  the (240,50)  CRC-less decoding  attempt are  unpacked and  the\n   decode is  printed only  if it contains  a callsign/grid  pair that\n   have  been previously  decoded  by the  belief propagation  decoder\n   (which treats the  code as a (240,74) code with  24-bit CRC) or the\n   ordered   statistics  decoder   configured  for   (240,66)  (16-bit\n   CRC). The callsign/grid memory  is stored in file \u201cfst4w_calls.txt\u201d\n   which resides in the data directory.\n\n - FT8: Fixed a crash triggered by double clicking on the waterfall to\n   invoke a decode of a signal in the preceding T/R interval.\n\n - FST4W: Do not save .c2 files.\n\n - FST4W:  Correct a  bug that  could cause  incorrect operation  when\n   using  negative noise  blanker (NB)  percentage to  trigger looping\n   over a range of NB percentages.\n\n - fst4sim: Added simulation of Lorentzian fading spectrum, invoked by\n   negative fspread values.\n\n - Color highlighting scheme window fixed in dark mode.\n\n - Reports sent by QSO partners to  other stations no longer logged in\n   error.\n\n - UDP Status(1) message now includes the current Tx message.\n\n - Example diagnostic logging configuration files included.\n\n - Use system localization for date fields in Log QSO dialog.\n\n - Improvements to audio input and output buffer sizes.\n\n - wsprd: Fails gracefully if data directory does not exist.\n\n - wsjtx_app_version: new utility to print application version string.\n\n - Regression  causing  incorrect  working  frequency  selection  when\n   changing modes repaired.\n\n - Regression with QSO initiation with \"Best S&P\" repaired.\n\n - Updated installation instructions for macOS covering M1 hardware.\n\n - Improved compatibility is Debian 9 required distribution packages.\n\n - Repair regression with missing time-stamps in the ALL.TXT journal.\n\n - Allow hamlib_settings.json to work  with PTT only configurations so\n   that optional PTT sharing on RTS or DTR can be enabled.\n\n - Several improvements to main window sizing and layout.\n\n - Repair regression  with OpenSSL libraries being  required when LoTW\n   highlighting is not enabled.\n\n - Repair a  defect that  caused 2  by 1  callsigns to  be incorrectly\n   parsed as non-standard.\n\n - Several updates to international UI translations.\n\n\n\n\t\t   Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc2\n\t\t         Nov 16, 2020\n\t\t   -------------------------\n\nWSJT-X  2.3.0  Release Candidate  2  fixes  issues  found in  RC1  and\nincludes some new functionality that missed the RC1 cut off deadline.\n\n - Dropped audio samples message box  removed, warnings and errors for\n   these are now sent to the WSJT-X system log.\n\n - FST4W spots to  WSPRNet.org will be augmented such  that the server\n   can distinguish the  mode being spotted. Spots  to WSPRNet.org will\n   no longer be restricted to WSPR sub-bands.\n\n - A new  internal system  and data logging  facility used  to provide\n   trace,  debug,   information,  warning,  error,  and   fatal  error\n   messages. The verbosity and filtering of messages is user definable\n   via a configuration file. Without  a configuration file a basic log\n   is written with  information, warning and error  messages only. Log\n   files are automatically rotated to limit disk usage.\n\n - Due to  some users using  inappropriate multicast IP  addresses for\n   their interoperating  severs the default  behaviour now is  to only\n   send multicast  UDP datagrams  to the loop-back  network interface.\n   Users who  require WSJT-X UDP  Message Protocol datagrams  to reach\n   other  hosts will  now  have  to configure  WSJT-X  to  send on  an\n   appropriate  network interface,  and  use  an appropriately  scoped\n   multicast group address for their  server applications.  If you are\n   not sure then  224.0.0.1 (or ff02::1 if IPv6 is  desired) is a safe\n   choice.\n\n\n\n\t\t   Release: WSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1\n\t\t         Sept 28, 2020\n\t\t   -------------------------\n\nWSJT-X  2.3.0 is  a program  upgrade offering  two new  modes designed\nespecially for use  on the LF and  MF bands.  FST4 is  for 2-way QSOs,\nand FST4W is for WSPR-like transmissions.  Both modes offer a range of\noptions for T/R sequence  lengths and threshold decoding sensitivities\nextending well  into the -40 dB  range.  Early tests have  shown these\nmodes frequently spanning intercontinental distances on the 2200 m and\n630 m bands.  Further details and  operating hints can be found in the\n\"Quick-Start Guide to FST4 and FST4W\", posted on the WSJT web site:\n\nhttps://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf\n\nWSJT-X 2.3.0-rc1  is a  beta-quality release  candidate for  a program\nupgrade  that provides  a number  of new  features, capabilities,  and\ndefect repairs.  These include:\n\n - New modes FST4 and FST4W targeting LF and MF bands.\n\n - Improved noise baseline discovery for more reliable SNR estimates.\n\n - On the waterfall and 2D spectrum a tool-tip shows the frequency\n   offset under the mouse pointer.\n\n - The *On Dx Echo* Doppler compensation method has been modified in\n   response to feedback from Users. Basic functionality is unchanged.\n   See the User Guide (Section 8.1) for more information.\n\n - Improved user_hardware script or program initiation for WSPR\n   band-hopping mode.\n\n - Decoded  QSO  mode  message   display  narrowed  to  make  appended\n   information easier to view without scrolling the window.\n\n - Option to record the propagation mode in logged QSO records.\n\n - ADIF v3.1.1 compliance.\n\n - Option to connect to PSKReporter using TCP/IP for those with very\n   poor Internet connections.\n\n - Major rewrite of the PSKReporter interface to improve efficiency\n   and reduce traffic levels.\n\n - Removal of the Tab 2 generated messages.\n\n - Accessibility improvements to the UI.\n\n - Tweaked decode speed options for a better user experience with\n   lower powered single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi.\n\n - Updates to UI translations in Spanish, Italian, Catalan, Chinese,\n   Hong Kong Chinese, Danish, and Japanese.\n\n - Audio devices only enumerated when starting up and opening the\n   \"Settings->Audio\" device lists.\n\n - Option to select the default audio device removed to minimize the\n   likelihood of system sounds being transmitted.\n\n - Better handling of missing audio devices.\n\n - Improved and enhanced meta-data saved to .WAV files.\n\n - More reliable multi-instance support.\n\n - Included CTY.DAT file moved to installation share directory.\n\n - The bundled Hamlib library is updated to the latest available which\n   fixes several regressions, defects, and adds new rig support.\n\n - Fixed some edge-case message packing and unpacking defects and\n   ambiguities.\n\n - Fix a defect that allowed non-CQ messages to be replied to via the\n   UDP Message Protocol.\n\n - Fix a long-standing defect with Tx start timing.\n\n - Repair a defect with style sheets when switching configurations.\n\n - Repair defects that made the astronomical data window an several\n   main window controls unreadable when using the dark style sheet.\n\n - Repair a regression with setting WSPR transmitted power levels.\n\n - Repair a regression with newly created ADIF log file's header.\n\n - Many other defects repaired.\n", "type": "enhancement", "status": "obsolete", "request": null, "severity": "low", "suggest": "unspecified", "locked": false, "pushed": false, "critpath": false, "critpath_groups": null, "close_bugs": true, "date_submitted": "2021-02-05 13:36:01", "date_modified": null, "date_approved": null, "date_testing": "2021-02-06 01:58:22", "date_stable": null, "alias": "FEDORA-2021-a32bd4c035", "test_gating_status": "ignored", "from_tag": null, "date_pushed": "2021-02-06 01:58:22", "meets_testing_requirements": true, "url": "https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-a32bd4c035", "title": "wsjtx-2.3.0-1.fc32", "version_hash": "749707f964204cde818ecbf07b990ea9329b237d", "release": {"name": "F32", "long_name": "Fedora 32", "version": "32", "id_prefix": "FEDORA", "branch": "f32", "dist_tag": "f32", "stable_tag": "f32-updates", "testing_tag": "f32-updates-testing", "candidate_tag": "f32-updates-candidate", "pending_signing_tag": "f32-signing-pending", "pending_testing_tag": "f32-updates-testing-pending", "pending_stable_tag": "f32-updates-pending", "override_tag": "f32-override", "mail_template": "fedora_errata_template", "state": "archived", "composed_by_bodhi": true, "create_automatic_updates": false, "package_manager": "dnf", "testing_repository": "updates-testing", "released_on": null, "eol": null, "critpath_mandatory_days_in_testing": 14, "mandatory_days_in_testing": 7, "critpath_min_karma": 2, "min_karma": 1, "setting_status": null}, "user": {"name": "hobbes1069", "email": "hobbes1069@gmail.com", "id": 174, "avatar": "https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/d46bee4659f1a3c55b116ac575aa0e319e583e5cc56bea70f12a4f5fe4350365?s=24&d=retro", "openid": "hobbes1069.id.fedoraproject.org", "groups": [{"name": "packager"}, {"name": "provenpackager"}, {"name": "ipausers"}, {"name": "fedora-contributor"}, {"name": "signed_fpca"}, {"name": "fedorabugs"}, {"name": "trust admins"}]}, "comments": [{"karma": 0, "karma_critpath": 0, "text": "This update has been submitted for testing by hobbes1069.
