Huu? As far as I know, nothing has changed on the jackd side. Also
jackd2 still provides jack_client_new, so what you see must be something
else.

Next Debian's jackd package will contain the following patch:

   http://trac.jackaudio.org/ticket/138

It adds deprecation warnings to the API, so using deprecated functions
results in compiler warnings at compile time. With -Werror, these can
obviously be turned into errors, thus stopping the compiler. It's easy to
catch them.


Note that jackd2 issues a warning (printf) when calling a deprecated
function.
