Thanks to Michael Minnhaar’s unceasing work (and willingness to nag us 😉 ) official builds of WED 2.0r1 are now available. This calls for a celebratory gif!

Please note that this is a major update and the minimum system requirements have now changed to: 64 bit versions of Windows 7/10, OSX 10.9, or Linux with GLIBC 2.23.

Major features include:

Automatic background maps via OpenStreetmap and ESRI Orthoimagery

New overlay layer featuring NAVAIDs and airport layout

Adjustable text size

Support for runway suffixes S, T and W

Supports new XP11.30 apt.dat format with 8.33kHz channels for ATC frequencies

Numerous bug fixes
