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.
