Season greetings y'all,

The news are just about this first batch of so called 'QStuff*', now 
being rolled out, seriously: QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], Qsampler [3], 
QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], all jumping straight and 
gloriously to **version 0.9.0** for the (northern) Winter'20 Holiday season.


** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] **

   QjackCtl 0.9.0 (winter'20) is released!

QjackCtl is a(n ageing yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore) Qt [7] 
application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio 
[12] infrastructure.

Change-log:
- List only available backend drivers when JACK D-BUS is enabled.
- Graph client-name / node-title aliases persistence have been hopefully 
fixed.
- Get rid of those "JACK has crashed" red-herrings from latest 
Windows(tm) builds.
- Early fixing to build for Qt >= 6.0.0 and comply with C++17 standard.


** Qsynth - A fluidsynth Qt GUI Interface [2] **

   Qsynth 0.9.0 (winter'20) is released!

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

   QmidiCtl 0.9.0 (winter'20) is released!

QmidiCtl [5] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI 
data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast 
[15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [15] for Windows. 
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.
