[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X 2.2.0-rc3

[Joe T. <jo...@pr...>]

Thanks to all who have provided reports on their testing of WSJT-X 
2.2.0-rc1 and -rc2.  Special thanks to Mike, W9MDB, for his dedicated 
work on several Hamlib problems.

A third candidate release for WSJT-X 2.2.0, WSJT-X 2.2.0-rc3, is now 
available for download and beta testing.  Most users will notice very 
little difference from the RC2 release. A few users affected by reported 
program defects in RC2 should now find those defects corrected.

We expect that RC3 is very close to what will become the General 
Availability (GA) release of WSJT-X 2.2.0.  The GA release will likely 
be made in the first week of June.

Be sure to read the Release Notes,
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/Release_Notes.txt ,
which has a cumulative list of program changes.

When upgrading there is no need to uninstall a previous version or move 
any files.  You might want to install to a different directory from your 
WSJT-X 2.1.2 installation.

Links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh are
