Ok, just a quick word to say that this release is certainly not good.
some bad bugs were uncovered right after the announcement... those are
fixed in pyjackctl SVN. You'll also need a development snapshot of the
jack patches (log patch has been applied to jack svn and is no longer
required).
Also, I'm in the process of rebuilding the jackconf script (the
configuration GUI) to implement some kind of "improved user
experience" config dialog, taking benefit of what's made available by
the jack patches.
A new release will be made available as soon as this config dialog is ready.
