The WSJT Development Group is pleased to announce a third candidate 
release of WSJT-X Version 1.7.0.  Once again this is a beta release. 
Most program features have been tested in the field already by a large 
number of users.

A short list of new features and capabilities (relative to Version 1.6) 
can be found in the section "New in Version 1.7" of the new WSJT-X User 
Guide:
http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-1.7.0-rc3.html#NEW_FEATURES
and also here:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/Release_Notice.txt

In addition to bug fixes, program improvements and additions since 
v1.7.0-rc2 include the following:

1. New logic and behavior for the "CQ nnn ..." messages in WSJT-X fast 
modes.

2. Support for messages of the form "CQ aa K1ABC FN42", where "aa" 
represents any two Latin letters.

3. A new sync pattern for the experimental QRA64 mode, and a new decoder 
that handles large Doppler spreads with excellent sensitivity.  These 
capabilities are important for use of QRA64 for microwave EME.

4. Major additions to the WSJT-X User Guide, especially for features 
related to VHF-and-up usage.

5. Downloadable sample files for all supported modes.

If you would like to use the latest WSJT-X software and are willing to 
help us with reports and feedback on program behavior, we encourage you 
to upgrade to this candidate release now.  When any reported bugs have 
been fixed, a slightly amended Version 1.7.0 will soon become the 
standard "General Availability" release of WSJT-X.

Reports should be sent to the email list wsjtgroup at yahoogroups.com or 
wsjt-devel at lists.sourceforge.net.

Be sure to read the extensively updated WSJT-X v1.7 User Guide.  Please 
send corrections and suggestions for its improvement to this email list, 
or to K1JT.

A detailed log of program changes since v1.6 is available here:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-1.7.0.log

Upgrading from Version 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, or earlier versions of 1.7 will be 
seamless.  There is no need to uninstall a previous version or to move 
any files.
