+=== New in Version 1.7
+
+For quick reference, here's a short list of features and capabilities
+added to _WSJT-X_ since Version 1.6.0:
+
+- New modes: ISCAT, MSK144, QRA64
+
+- Newly implemented submodes: JT65B-C, JT9B-H
+
+- Fast submodes of JT9E-H
+
+- New Franke-Taylor decoder to replace the Koetter-Vardy decoder
+previously used for JT65. Separate program `kvasd[.exe]` is no longer
+used.
+
+- Improvements to the JT4, JT9, and JT65 decoders
+
+- Multi-pass decoding for JT65 and WSPR.  Decoded signals are
+subtracted from the received data, allowing decoding of weaker
+signals that were otherwise masked.
+
+- Improved convenience features for EME Doppler tracking
+
+- Saving and restoring of multiple program configurations
+
+- Sample-file download facility
+
+- Many corrections and improvements to the Hamlib library, fixing
+balky rig-control features

+restored for each band
