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

  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] **

 ** 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.
