Re: [wsjt-devel] State of the Art Weak Signal Modes vs. State of the Art Issue Tracking

2018-11-23 Thread Stephen Ireland
Folks, I agree wholeheartedly that the facility is there already for respected contributors to feed back comments that are handled well by the development team within the JT software development ranks. The issue will be the “wombats” (as we term them here in Australia) that suddenly see more s

[wsjt-devel] strategy for release of version 2.0 of WSJT-X

2018-11-23 Thread Peter Sumner
Hello to the Dev team, with the impeding release of version 2.0 'gold' in December I have started to put threads into some of the more active local forums in VK to alert those who may not know that a new MAJOR update of WSJT-X is coming and that FT8 and MSK modes will be changing. I have requeste

Brian, it appears you don't understand email reflectors vs email lists. There has never been an expectation that anyone read all the emails that come via the reflector. There is a search function right on the Dev List page that anyone who is reporting bugs should check first to see if what the

With all due respect, I suppose the point of having this list is for RC users to report possible bugs to the developers. You are hardly encouraging the average user to report anything. 73 de Tom OH6VDA / JW6VDA > 23. nov. 2018 kl. 20:37 skrev Brian Moran : > > --1e7560057b594819

[wsjt-devel] State of the Art Weak Signal Modes vs. State of the Art Issue Tracking

2018-11-23 Thread Brian Moran
WSJT-X represents current state of the art for weak signals in Amateur Radio communications, but using 'email as a bug database' to keep track of issues decidedly does NOT represent the state of the art in anything. Asking everyone to read all of the emails to see if their issue is represented befo

Hi Richard Well the LOTW problem , can’t decode 75 bit message are both in the Release/Quick Start guide - but that is beside the point The new page would address it - the only source of the RC downloads is via the princeton site (mind you I think if it were hosted outside the US then the dev

How about a web page only for bugs?  Could be put in the Help menu "Known Bugs/Issues" and doesn't require a new release to keep current.  A section for each release would be appropriate showing "Fixed" status too. Users would eventually learn to check that first avoiding most of the repeat q

Tom, Regarding your comments about the release notes, if fact almost all of the issues that I addressed as examples are NOT covered in the latest released notes. I do like your idea of having to go to another page to read the list of known issues (and then possibly having to check a box?) befor

Do you think that would help 90% of the posters - sorry I don’t think so. The 77 bit signal and LOTW errors are very clearly mentioned in the release notes - which everyone is advised to read but don't Those looking at the mailing lists - there is an archive/search option - even just reading wh

[wsjt-devel] Post a "Know Issues" list?

Bill, et al, Wouldn't it be a good idea to post a list of known WSJT-X issues on a regular basis? We all see SO MANY repeat posts complaining about problems being experienced with release candidates. Hopefully, posting such a list would greatly reduce repeat problem complaints. Some known issues c
