Dear WSJT-X Users,

SuperFox mode, a powerful new tool designed to help DXpeditions make
digital QSOs at very high rates. For additional details see

RC5 also brings several other improvements and bug fixes. A full list
of enhancements since Release Candidate 4 can be found in the Release Notes and Section 1.1 of the WSJT-X User Guide:
