WSJT-X 2.5.4 GA Release

 WSJT-X 2.5.4 GA Release

Please welcome two new members of the core WSJT Development group: Chet
Fennell, KG4IYS, and Uwe Risse, DG2YCB.  Each brings important skills
and experience to the project, after the loss of Bill Somerville, G4WJS.

The newly constituted group has been working to redefine standard
operating procedures for new releases.  WSJT-X 2.5.4, a bug-fix release
correcting these two flaws in release 2.5.3, is now available as a
General Availability (GA) release.

Changes from v2.5.3 are:

WSJT-X: Repair a defect that caused occasional crashes when in QSO with
stations using nonstandard callsigns.

MAP65: Correct a bug that prevented "Best-fit Delta phi" solutions from
being displayed to the user.

Links to WSJT-X 2.5.4 installation packages for Windows and Linux are
available here:

Thanks to John Nelson, G4KLA, the installation package for macOS will be
added soon.

You can also download the packages from our SourceForge site:

It may take a short time for the SourceForge site to be updated.
