Re: [Hamlib-developer] Hamlib version for the upcoming WSJT-X v3.0.0-rc1

[Uwe, D. <dg...@gm...>]

Hi Nate,

Thanks for your reply. Then I will take one of the Hamlib Git daily 
snapshots for v3.0.0-rc1. I can wait another week or so. If any major 
bugs pop up in Hamlib, it would be great if someone could fix them by 
then (or at least let me know if you discover critical bugs that can't 
be fixed so quickly).

FYI: This time, it will most likely be a joint release of WSJT-X and 
WSJT-X Improved, where WSJT-X is just the i+ variant of WSJT-X improved. 
Since WSJT-X Improved is updated more frequently, we will use these 
updates to gradually fix any bugs and/or further improve our code before 
eventually merging it into a new joint v3.0.0-rc2 release. That's our 
plan. However, the additional GUI variants (AL and widescreen), the 
packages for macOS M1 and possible special versions will continue to be 
available only under the WSJT-X Improved brand for the time being.

73 de DG2YCB,
Uwe
