FYI...
Dear WSJT-X Users,
We are pleased to announce that Release Candidate WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc7 is ready for download and use by beta testers. This revision has many improvements to SuperFox mode: better decoding, more reliable message sequencing, and an open source, cryptographically sound verification scheme for Fox transmissions.
On-the-air tests have shown that SuperFox is capable of sustained QSO rates well in excess of 300 per hour. We heartily recommend that future DXpeditions expecting to make very large numbers of QSOs should use SuperFox. Instructions for usage can be found in the SuperFox User Guide: https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/SuperFox_User_Guide.pdf
Additional details on program changes since RC6 can be found in the Release Notes:

Release Candidates are intended for beta testers. If you download and use WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc7, please provide relevant feedback on the new features and anything that does not seem to work properly for you. If your report involves something related to received signals, be sure to provide one or more saved *.wav files that illustrate the perceived problem. As a general matter, use the option "Save all" when testing.
Direct links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and macOS can be found on the WSJT-X page https://wsjt.sourceforge.io/wsjtx.html Scroll down to the heading "Candidate release: WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc7".
For those who like to compile from source, a source-code tarball is available on the WSJT-X page. Public access to the git repository for the WSJT project is also available on the "Git" tab here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/wsjt/
WSJT-X is licensed under the terms of Version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPL). Development of this software is a cooperative project to which many amateur radio operators have contributed. If you use our code, please have the courtesy to let us know about it. If you find bugs or make improvements to the code, please report them to us in a timely fashion.
The authors and Copyright holders of WSJT-X request that derivative works should not publish programs based on features in WSJT-X before those features are made available in a General Availability (GA) release of WSJT-X. Currently this caution applies to all SuperFox and SuperHound features. We will cease making public Release Candidates if this request is ignored.
Feedback should be sent to this email list or one of the of the others mentioned here in the User Guide:

We hope you will enjoy using WSJT-X 2.7.0-rc7, and that you will help us to create a new General Availability (GA) release soon.
