v2.0.17
0793994

Built on WSJT-X 3.0.0. Includes all changes from 2.0.16.

⚠️ Safety: WSJT-Z can operate your transceiver automatically (Auto-CQ, Auto-Call, band/mode switching, and — new in this release — remote UDP control). Always monitor the radio during automated operation and make sure your watchdog timer is set appropriately.

Fixes

  • Auto-CQ no longer self-halts on QRM — the auto-QRM stop now only fires in Auto-Call (answering) mode, so an Auto-CQ session isn't stopped when the selected DX is heard working someone else (#94).
  • Mode/band switch clears state properly — the one-shot auto-mode-switch flag is reset in the Auto-Call / Auto-CQ toggles, preventing a stale value from suppressing the DX clear (#93).
  • Contest sign-off dup guard — a late duplicate decode from a station already logged is ignored during sign-off, preventing double-logging and a contest-mode error (#95).
  • Stacked-call DXpedition support — parses composite CALL1 RR73; CALL2 <CALL3> RPT messages and, when you are the primary or secondary caller, responds to the tertiary caller instead of auto-stopping for QRM (#105).
  • PSK Reporter window opens when spotting is disabled — the view populates from its own pskreporter.info query and no longer requires local upload to be enabled (#99).
  • About box shows the real build revision — git-based revision instead of a hard-coded stub, with a safe "dev" fallback; refreshed with current GitHub links and build info (#107).
  • TCI split mode fixed — reported frequency is no longer frozen after a TX/RX transition; manual VFO changes propagate again (#104).

Features

  • Rapid RR73 short QSO — double-click TX2 to skip straight to TX4 in RR73 mode for a no-signal-report exchange (respects the compound-callsign RR73 restriction) (#100).
  • PSK-priority Auto-Call — new "Prefer PSK spotted stations" option that, when PSK Reporter band-activity feedback is on, promotes candidates already heard by PSK Reporter receivers above the distance/signal/last-decoded priority modes. Off by default (#98).
  • UDP control server — accept inbound UDP Configure requests (enable via "Accept UDP requests") so a companion app can set mode/frequency/DX call and toggle Auto-CQ / Auto-Call. The listener binds to the configured UDP Server address, defaulting to 127.0.0.1 (loopback-only) unless you deliberately expose it. Includes a Python control example (#103).
  • Signal meter redesign — the dB value and its unit are now separate, centered labels for a cleaner single-line readout (#92).

Tooling

  • macOS deployment target raised to 11.0 (Big Sur) for both the CMake default and the x86_64 branch of build-osx.sh; tested on Apple Silicon and Intel under macOS Tahoe (#91).
