Hello, I would like to support what Bill wrote:

Everything that's in relationship with the code such as documentation and unit tests should be a part of the branch. > Having said that manuals do present a special problem with source control > merging since they tend to be bulk updated and do not merge very easily.

Of course. By the way, speaking about unit testing... I am new in the WSJT field and I wanted to understand the internal principles. So I reimplemented the whole coding path from the message like "CQ OK2TKB JN89" up to the 50 second WAV file in Python. During that work I prepared many unit tests using Python's unittest module. Then, when something didn't work I also wrote Fortran proxies to make individual Fortran coding steps available at Python level too. Actually there are many smart ideas incorporated in the protocol (mainly the synchronization using the pseudorandom pattern and the Reed-Solomon FEC) that it was a very nice lesson to me. I would like to thank Joe Taylor very much for a nicely designed and well working communication protocol.
