Interesting times we're living in...

The first batch to the so called Qstuff* Spring Break'19 is now being
delivered as fully complementary as post-LAC2019 [21] frenzy ;)

And in this batch, we have:
*  QjackCtl 0.5.7 [1]
*  Qsynth 0.5.6 [2]
*  Qsampler 0.5.5 [3]
*  QXGEdit 0.5.4 [4]
*  QmidiCtl 0.5.4 [5]
*  QmidiNet 0.5.4 [6]

All the boring (to death) details, below...

** QmidiCtl - A MIDI Remote Controller via UDP/IP Multicast [5] **

  QmidiCtl 0.5.4 (spring-break'19) is out!

QmidiCtl [5] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI
data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast

QmidiCtl [5] was long ago designed for the Maemo [17] enabled handheld
devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [18] and promoted to the Maemo
Package [18] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found
effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android
application as well.
