availability (GA) release of WSJT-X Version 2.2.0. A brief summary of <br>
new features is provided here; for further details see the Release Notes:<br>

<br>
... and of course the updated WSJT-X 2.2 User Guide:<br>
<br>
<a style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" href="http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.2.0.html#NEW_FEATURES" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">http://www.physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.2.0.html#NEW_FEATURES</a><br>
<br>
New Features in WSJT-X 2.2.0:<br>
<br>
- Significant improvements to the decoders for FT4, FT8, JT4, JT65,<br>
and WSPR.<br>
<br>
- New format for "EU VHF Contest" Tx2 and Tx3 messages<br>
<br>
When "EU VHF Contest" is selected, the Tx2 and Tx3 messages (those<br>
conveying signal report, serial number, and 6-character locator)<br>
now use hashcodes for both callsigns. This change is NOT backward<br>
compatible with earlier versions of _WSJT-X_, so all users of EU<br>
VHF Contest messages should be sure to upgrade to version 2.2.0.<br>
<br>
- Accessibility<br>
<br>
Keyboard shortcuts have been added as an aid to accessibility:<br>
Alt+R sets Tx4 message to RR73, Ctrl+R sets it to RRR.<br>
<br>
As an aid for partial color-blindness, the "inverted goal posts"<br>
marking Rx frequency on the Wide Graph's frequency scale are now<br>
rendered in a darker shade of green.<br>
<br>
- User Interface Translations have been enabled. Translations are<br>
now available for Catalan, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and Hong<br>
Kong Chinese. Additiional languages will follow, when available.<br>
<br>
Note that UI translation is automatic, based on your system primary<br>
language. If you do not want the WSJT-X UI translated to your local<br>
language then start WSJT-X with the '--language=en' command line<br>
option:<br>
<br>
wsjtx --language=en<br>
<br>
If you wish to contribute by authoring WSJT-X UI translations<br>
please join the new discussion group wsjtx-l10n@Groups.io<br>
(<a style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" href="https://groups.io/g/wsjtx-l10n" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://groups.io/g/wsjtx-l10n</a>), where help from other translation<br>
authors and coordination with the development team is available.<br>
<br>
- Minor enhancements and bug fixes<br>
<br>
"Save None" now writes no .wav files to disk, even temporarily.<br>
<br>
An explicit entry for "WW Digi Contest" has been added to<br>
"Special operating activities" on the "Settings | Advanced" tab.<br>
<br>
Contest mode FT4 now always uses RR73 for the Tx4 message.<br>
<br>
The Status bar now displays the number of decodes found in the<br>
most recent Rx sequence.<br>
<br>
The "Highlight Callsign" UDP message has been enhanced to allow<br>
clearing of old highlighting for a specified callsign. Please note<br>
a recommended restriction on the use of this message in the<br>
documentation here: <a style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" href="https://tinyurl.com/y85nc3tg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://tinyurl.com/y85nc3tg</a><br>
<br>
- Hamlib - this library which we use for direct rig control has had<br>
many defect repairs and enhancements, we thank the contributors to<br>
that project for their work.<br>
<br>
Upgrading from earlier versions of WSJT-X should be seamless. There is <br>
no need to uninstall a previous version or move any files.<br>
<br>
Please do not continue to use any release candidate -- that is, any beta <br>
release with "-rc#" in the version name.<br>
<br>
Links to installation packages for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh are <br>
available here:<br>
