To: All WSJT-X users of FT8
From: WSJT Development Team
Subject: IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT EXPERIMENTAL MODE FT8
Thanks to all alpha testers who have sent us helpful information on their experiences with FT8. The mode is basically working well, but we’ve determined that we can improve it further by making a change to the protocol that is not backward compatible.
Therefore, until further notice: DO NOT USE FT8 MODE IN CODE REVISIONS LATER THAN r7782. In a few days we will issue another notice saying that the protocol change is complete and tested. After that time you must stop using FT8 mode in revisions r7782 and earlier. EVERYONE USING FT8 MUST THEN UPGRADE TO A NEW CODE REVISION WITH A NUMBER TO BE SPECIFIED.
For those not building WSJT-X by themselves: We will plan to release WSJT-X v1.8-rc1 very soon after the protocol change. This release will include pre-built installation packages for Windows, Linux, and OS X.
