dear developer team
my first bug report. pse advice if such report is welcome or not.

------- bug report -----


Program version: WSJT-X v.1.7.1-devel r7895
Operating system:
- compiled and linked: Windows 10 Enterprise

Concise description of the problem
Since Version r7895 I experienced an increase of false decode, especially below -20dB. I put all decodes in table below- good and false for comparison

------- bug report -----
Program version: WSJT-X v.1.7.1-devel r7895
Hi Remo,

those of you building WSJT-X from sources should be aware that the
development branch ^/branches/wsjtx currently identifying itself as
v1.7.1-devel is highly unstable at present and probably not suitable for
use on air even on receive unless you turn off all automated spotting to
pskreporter, and hamspots if you also use JTAlert. If you must build the
development branch then please monitor the Source Forge change comments
closely and any posts here about suitability for use. As always, we do
our work with everything exposed which helps the developers greatly when
collaborating on enhancements. This allows you to see what is happening
but it is a two way street, we expect respect for our warnings of
usability and some effort by all to understand what is happening amongst
the development team.

The v1.8 branch ^/branches/wsjtx-1.8 which currently identifies as
v1.8.0-rc2 is where your focus should be as this is where fixes for
issues in the RC1 release candidate will be placed ready for the next
release candidate and eventually the general availability release (GA).

Thanks for that, Bill; I knew the wsjtx branch was no longer suitable
for use on air, but I've been away from using svn for long enough that
I forgot about how branching is done and where I should go look for
the right place to grab updates before official packages are released.
Guess I'm too used to Mercurial now (don't ask about git :D )

Hi Steve,

If you are using raw subversion commands then:

$ svn switch ^/branches/wsjtx-1.8

will swap your workspace to the v1.8 branch and:

$ svn sw ^/branches/wsjtx

to get back to the development trunk (branch).

For JTSDK users I believe this is automated and you can switch branches
with a canned command.

Hi Ron,

if you use JTSDK win32

wsjtx-list -u

wsjtx-1.8 -c release -t install

after compile script show the path of destination
Does anyone know the JTSDK commands to switch to the v1.8 branch?

Hi Ron

not sure if there is a more elegant way but I

wsjtx-list –u
build-wsjtx -b dev -n wsjtx-1.8 -c release -t install
This works for me.

Hello All,



The method Richard stated below is the preferred build method, for several reasons. Those testing the release candidate branch—which is what needs testing at this point—should build the ^/wsjtx-1.8-rcX branch, not the ^/wsjtx branch. The ^wsjtx branch can have all sorts of unstable, partially complete, and/or non-functional code at any given time. The only people that should be building from the development branch ^/wsjtx are the application developers, which 99.9% of users are not part of.



While it is not a problem to use the svn switch command, facilities exist to allow you to build the RC dev branch while maintaining your default build options. All the while, leaving the ^/wsjtx to the developers. If this is far too confusing, you should probably wait for the official RC build from the development team.



To display wsjtx build options help menu:

help-wsjtx



To display the list option help screen:

wsjtx-list -h



To see the available branches:

wsjtx-list -a



To update available branch list:

wsjtx-list -u



Then, as Richard stated, to build the release candidate “dev” branch:



build-wsjtx -b dev -n wsjtx-1.8 -c release -t install



Note: the above is a dev branch “dev”, not the released GA/RC candidate branch. If new fixes/features are added “ontop of” the RC1 branch, and the development team askes for testing on this branch, that’s what you should be building/testing.



When a new RC(x) is released to GA—after updating your lists—it will appear as wsjtx-1.8.0-rc2



build-wsjtx -b gar -n wsjtx-1.8.0-rc2 -c release -t install



Note the “gar”, and full name of the release candidate “wsjtx-1.8.0-rc2” in the command above.



73’s

Greg, KI7MT

I'm doing some local testing with 7895 and have my test setup hooked up to a dummy virtual audio.
So it's seeing 0dB...but I'm getting periodic decodes nonetheless of the same false decode /WGMUX/XRV/I at -24dB and 1.9 DT
Here's a few files that do generate the false decode.

Mike --

We do NOT need reports about false decodes produced from development
code that is not released -- and use of which has been strongly
discouraged.

Such reports on "DO NOT USE" code only tend to give the mode or the
program a bad name. And they encourage others (who may not know any
better) to use the unreleased code.

If you think you understand something about the development code that
your measurements help to illuminate, communicate directly with whoever
wrote the code.
