Anyone planning to use the beta-released FT8 mode during CQ WW VHF Contest?
I have no experience with it and no opinion on whether its ready for
prime time, just asking.

The WSJT Development Group is pleased to announce a candidate release of
WSJT-X Version 1.8.0. This is a beta release, already tested in the
field by around 160 alpha-test users. A short list of new features and
capabilities (including the new FT8 and FreqCal modes) can be found in
the Release Notes:

After any reported problems with this beta release have been addressed,
Version 1.8.0 will become the standard "General Availability" release of
WSJT-X.
Installation packages for Windows, Linux, OS X, and Raspbian Jessie can
be downloaded from the WSJT web site:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html
A detailed log of program changes since v1.7.0 is available here:
http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-1.8.0.log
Upgrading from version 1.4 or later will be seamless. There is no need
to uninstall a previous version or to move any files.
Please report any problems you find with this beta release to one of
these email lists: wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
wsjtgroup@yahoogroups.com . For both lists you will need to be a
subscriber in order to post there.
