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.

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.
