“We are aware of the following bugs or anomalies in release candidate 5 of WSJT-X 2.1.0. There is no need to provide further feedback on any of these issues.
1. The 64-bit executable for Windows resets the audio input gain to 100% on program startup, when the input audio device is changed, and when switching to a new configuration. Temporary workaround: If necessary, reset the Windows audio input to the desired level.
2. WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc5 does not run correctly under macOS using the current build.
3. Any use of the Settings screen will mistakenly set your operating mode to FT8 when you exit Settings by clicking OK. Temporary workaround: Reselect FT4 from the Mode menu. 4. You may occasionally experience a program crash with the message “Subprocess error: Subprocess failed with exit code 2”, followed by a details that include “At line 41 of file C:\Users\bill\src\k1jt\wsjtx\lib\ft4\ft4_downsample.f90” Temporary workaround: Restart the program.
