The FFADO project (https://ffado.org) announces the availability of FFADO version 2.4.9. This is a maintenance release which contains minor improvements. This is a source-only release that can be downloaded from https://ffado.org/files/libffado-2.4.9.tgz Changes since FFADO 2.4.8: * Support compilation against musl libc. Thanks to Alyssa Ross. * Remove build-time checks for utilities that are not used (pyuic). * Install the ffado-mixer appdata file only if ffado-mixer has been built. Thanks to Jan Tojnar for the suggestion. * Add a DATADIR option to scons and use it in line with GNU conventions. Thanks to Jan Tojnar for the suggestion and the patch. * Update the AppStream document with more complete information and in line with current best practice (Jan Tojnar). * Rename XDG files to match modern standards (Jan Tojnar). * Install XDG files manually to simplify the build script and avoid depending on xdg-utils (Jan Tojnar). Thanks to those who have helped with this release, including Alyssa Ross and Jan Tojnar. Notes for packagers: * A consequence of the DATADIR support is that the default MANDIR has shifted from `${PREFIX}/man/` to `${PREFIX}/share/man/`. The latter is arguably more common, but if the original path must remain in use it is still possible to manually set MANDIR at build time. * The presence of the DATADIR option may allow simplification of build commands or require minor build option adjustments depending on how FFADO is built. * Aside from the manpage location, the introduction of DATADIR is not expected to change the path of any other installed files by default.
