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.
