Changelog
qjackctl (0.3.7-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream release:
- Session widget has session save type preserved as well.
- Connections and the new Messages/Status widgets now have
their last open tab preserved across program run-cycles.
- Connections and Patchbay widgets have been finally given
up on an old feature request: an Expand All items button.
- A significant UI layout has been made: the Messages and
Status widgets were merged into one, giving space to the
brand new Session wigdet to be easy accessible from the
main panel control window.
- libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link
phase, as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros
eg. Fedora 13, Debian 6. (closing bug #3050915).
- Input/Output latency options were missing but now finally
enabled for the firewire back-end.
- General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
- Avoid pre-loading a stalled patchbay definition filename
and its nagging error on startup (fixes bug #3017078).
- Client connection retrial logic scrapped. Being a leftover
from early ages, when machines were slower and JACK server
startup times were longer... now, if it can't connect first
time as client, it will tear down the server whether it's
starting up still or not at all. (cf. Setup/Settings/Start
Delay for the rescue).
- Server name is finally part of the server settings presets,
thanks to Fons Adriaensen for the heads-up.
- As a workaround regarding issues switching jack2's backends,
Robin Gareus sends us yet another D-Bus metho slot: "preset",
(dbus-send --system / org.rncbc.qjackctl.preset string:PRESET).
Thanks again.
- Another D-Bus interface slot makes it through implementation:
"quit" (eg. usage: dbus-send --system / org.rncbc.qjackctl.quit).
Besides, there's also these new JACK session management actions
which were being overlooked as well: "load", "save", "savequit"
and "savetemplate" are also available as D-Bus method slots.
- Make sure that Patchbay socket names are unique when adding
or copying, fixing previous patch by Dominic Sacre.
- JACK version is now being shown on the About box (jack2).
- Slight Connections widget behavioral change: (dis)connecting a
client (from) to one single port, (dis)connections will be
applied in sequence from (to) all client output ports to (from)
as many input ports there are in below, one by one (satisfying
a 5 year old request from Yann Orlarey, thanks:).
- JACK session support is being introduced.
- Ignore first XRUN occurrence option dropped from statistics.
- Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
wrong main widget hidden state.
- Double-quotes are now being added to device names which include
blank characters and were rendering invalid all command line
invocation of the classic JACK server (eg. specially due for
Portaudio device names on Windows).
- Transport play (rolling) status is now being guarded to avoid
backfiring from extraneous transport state changes.
- General source tree layout and build configuration change.
- Italian (it) translation added (by Sergio Atzori).
- Post-shutdown script invocation logic slightly refactored in
attempt to enforce its execution on application quit.
* Switch to 3.0 (quilt) format, refresh and update patches.
* debian/control:
- Build against the latest libraries available in experimental to
enable the JACK session support.
- Depends on jackd.
- A bit of cleanup.
- Bump Standards.
- Add myself to Uploaders list.
* debian/rules:
- qjackctl.pro should not be cleaned.
- Update cleanbuilddir to properly clean the sources:
+ Also clean src/{config.h,qjackctl.desktop,src.pri}.
+ No need to save&restore the translations dir, removing *.qm files
is enough.
- Don't override DEB_MAKE_INSTALL_TARGET, otherwise FTBFS.
- No need to override DEB_CONFIGURE_EXTRA_FLAGS, --prefix=/usr is set
by default.
* Remove debian/qjackctl.{1,desktop}, provided by upstream now.
* Provide Ubuntu-specific patch to temporarily suspend PulseAudio
before running qjackctl (LP: #570379).
* debian/{control,rules}:
- Generate different dependencies between Debian and Ubuntu since
the latter uses PulseAudio by default and needs pulseaudio-utils
to provide pasuspender.
