		   Release: WSJT-X 2.3.1
		        Mar 26, 2021
		   ---------------------

WSJT-X 2.3.1  General Availability release  updates the User  Guide to
cover the  new modes FST4 and  FST4W along with sample  .WAV files and
decoding tutorials. This release also  repairs a number of defects and
regressions  discovered  since  the v2.3.0  release,  including  those
below.

 - When  sending traffic  to a  multicast UDP  server ensure  that the
   local loop-back interface is used if no others are selected.

 - Repair  a defect  in instance  lock  file handling  that causes  an
   infinite loop on start up.

 - Invert the  PTT serial port  sharing default behaviour,  and enable
   sharing when non-Hamlib CAT control  is combined with direct serial
   port PTT control.

 - Allow  the FST4  and FST4W  decoders  to continue  after the  first
   successful decode when using negative  NB values to try multiple NB
   values.

 - Repair defects in auto-sequencing,  particularly with responding to
   a repeated final message. In general a double-click of the repeated
   message now does the right thing.

 - Repair a regression that had  inadvertently disabled EU VHF Contest
   mode when using the MSK144 mode.

 - Repair a defect  that could caused incorrect log  entry fields when
   using FT4 mode and a priori (AP) decoding.

 - Repair defects saving .WAV files for periods with decodes.

 - Offer a new scheme for adjusting macOS shared memory parameters.
