[LAU] [ANN] The QStuff* Winter'20 Release batch #1

[Brandon Hale]

Hey Rui,

Exciting to see new Qtools released!

I have a question for you: I have heard that the jack-session is 
becoming deprecated for Non-session manager. Is this what qjackctl uses 
to manage its patchbay feature?

Thanks for the nice software,

Brandon Hale
