I am a little uneasy about this because there are major issues with rig control of Icom rigs via DX Labs Suite commander and the direct control of the FT-817/FT-857/FT-897 series is fundamentally flawed.
For the former I am waiting on Dave AA6YQ to hopefully make the TCP/IP more managable but I feel that he has lost interest in favour of other more pressing user facing issues for the Suite. I am reluctant to push him on this as he has helped a lot already. For the Yaesu FT-8x7 series I am working through a complete rewrite of the Hamlib back end for them, it is going well but will take a bit longer to complete. I suppose a beta/release candidate would be OK but I am wary of being flooded with a whole series of complaints about the rig interface not working where it appeared to work before. As for making a release candidate, anyone who has NSIS installed and can build on Windows with CMake should be able to prepare an installer by using 'cmake --build <release-build-dir> --target package'. The documentation needs some love around the the settings dialog area and the new waterfall features. If anyone wants to help with the docs on WSJT-X I am happy to help by explaining the subtleties of the new settings dialog. > > 2.
