[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.2.14 released!

Hi, QjackCtl 0.2.14 has been released. No big features, only a bunch of optimizations and cleanups. Check it out: http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net From the change log: - Put a limit on XRUN callback messages and statistics report rate, preventing the potential hosing of the GUI due to a XRUN cascade storm. The maximum reasonable report rate has been fixed to be one XRUN callback occurrence per second. - Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where available, as the default handler is usually fatal when a JACK client is zombified abruptly. - All conection view items are now sorted in natural case insensitive order, not just as audio port names as was before. - Got rid of those nonsense paranoid and rather stupid pseudo-mutex guards on the connections management framework and event notifications (nuff said :). - Optional confirmation warning on audio server shutdown, if there's some audio clients still active and connected (as suggested by Sampo Savolainen). - Check for <jack/statistics.h> on configure time (as of JACK 0.99.42+ CVS). - "Unlock memory" server setup option was added, allowing the release of memory used by common toolkit libraries (GTK+, Qt, FLTK, Wine) that were being superfluously locked on every GUI JACK client; number of periods has now the minimum allowed value of 2; server start delay widget converted to spinbox; setup dialog layout slighly changed. - Removed stand-alone usx2y driver support. Since JACK 0.99.41+ CVS, the special "rawusb" support on the Tascam US-122/224/428 USB Audio/MIDI interface controllers have been merged and properly integrated into the regular alsa backend driver. Being still experimental, this special mode of operation is now triggered only when "hw:N,2" is specified as the alsa device name (N = soundcard index of snd-usb-usx2y module). - Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line count exceeds in one third the user configured line count maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. - XRUN status items are kept double-dashed if none has been detected. Enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org
