Re: [LAU] [ANN] QjackCtl 0.3.4 is out!

hi, A semester has gone by, since last release, with no big news on this front. Alas, on the verge of the coming one-dot-oh release of the mighty JACK Audio Connection Kit, here goes one fine update of its old and aged Qt GUI front-end: QjackCtl 0.3.4 is out! Nothing much new to see but you might welcome the patchbay snapshot revamp, which might finally do the right thing, and the rand new translations that are getting in place: German (de), Spanish(es), French (fr) and Russian (ru). Many thanks to all involved. With no further ado, the good stuff is ready from the usual places.

Change-log: 0.3.4 2008-12-05 Patchbay snapshot revamp. - Introducing the very first and complete translations in-package: German (de), Spanish (es), French (fr) and Russian (ru); credits in TRANSLATORS. - At last, after years of retarded procrastination, the old infamous patchbay snapshot feature has been the subject of a almost complete rewrite and it does try to give a way better mapping of all actual and current running client/port connections, both JACK (audio, MIDI) and ALSA MIDI, of course ;)

- On Setup/Settings/Parameters dialog, all device selection options are now reset to default when disabled interactively. - Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. - Qt Software logo update. - Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. - ALSA PCM devices now only listed/enumerated iif strictly compliant with the audio mode criteria (Duplex, Capture-only or Playback-only) as kindly suggested by Nedko Ardaunov. - JACK client/port aliases may now be displayed as a global user option (see Setup/Display/Connections/JACK client/port aliases). - Lighten up the connections line and highlight colors, as seen to fit best on some darker background themes. - Patchbay snapshot fixed to differentiate socket clients according to its type (Audio, MIDI or ALSA-Seq), avoiding the mess and gross mistake of hanging disparate type ports under the same client item. - JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER environment variable is now appended to the X11 unique application identifier, allowing for having multiple instances each controlling its own JACK server, besides the default one. - Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the rescue: Setup/Misc/Defaults/Base font size (default is no-op). Cheers && Enjoy.
