This is puzzle #6-305038, rated 2.1.1.0.1 and I'm getting nowhere after playing an X-Wing which did basically nothing except eliminate a couple of 8s.

Code:

+-----------------+-------+-------------+
| 7     239  2389 | 6 5 1 | 239 389 4   |
| 4     1    35   | 2 8 9 | 37  6   357 |
| 25689 2569 2569 | 7 4 3 | 29  1   589 |
+-----------------+-------+-------------+
| 2569  2569 7    | 3 1 8 | 4   29  69  |
| 3     8    4    | 9 6 2 | 5   7   1   |
| 269   269  1    | 4 7 5 | 8   239 369 |
+-----------------+-------+-------------+
| 259   2579 259  | 8 3 6 | 1   4   79  |
| 689   4    369  | 1 2 7 | 369 5   389 |
| 1     367  368  | 5 9 4 | 367 38  2   |
+-----------------+-------+-------------+
