[LAA] Summer'15 release frenzy wrap up!

[Rui Nuno Capela]

Hello?

Summer'15 release frenzy is not over yet!... well, it's only over on the 
'equinox' anyway...


* QmidiNet - A MIDI Network Gateway via UDP/IP Multicast *

   QmidiNet [1] 0.3.0 has been released!

   QmidiNet [1] is a MIDI network gateway application that sends and 
receives MIDI data (ALSA-MIDI and JACK-MIDI) over the network, using 
UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast [4] and designed to be 
compatible with ipMIDI [5] for Windows.

http://download.sourceforge.net/qmidinet/qmidinet-0.3.0-8.rncbc.suse132.x86_64.rpm

Change-log:
- System tray icon now blinks on network send/receive activity.
- Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
- Complete rewrite of Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
- Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.


* QmidiCtl - A MIDI Remote Controller via UDP/IP Multicast *

   QmidiCtl [2] 0.3.0 has been released!

   QmidiCtl [2] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI 
data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast 
[4] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [5] for Windows. QmidiCtl 
[2] has been primarily designed for the Maemo [6] enabled handheld 
devices, namely the Nokia N900 [7] and also being promoted to the Maemo 
Package [8] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found 
effective as a regular desktop application as well.

* QXGEdit - A Qt XG Editor *

   QXGEdit [3] 0.3.0 has been released!

   QXGEdit [3] is a live XG instrument editor, specialized on editing 
MIDI System Exclusive files (.syx) for the Yamaha DB50XG [9] and thus 
probably a baseline for many other XG devices.
