License:

  QjackCtl is free, open-source software, distributed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later.

Change-log:

- Late support for UTF-8 encoded client/port names.

- Allow only one single patchbay connection to or from an exclusive
socket (mitigating bug #2859119).

- Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb),
back-traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build targets
(--enable-debug).

- Probable fix on the audio connections with regard to client/port
(re)name changes (an ancient bug reported by Fons Adriaensen).

- Portaudio device selector is now available (after a patch handed by
Torben Hohn and Stephane Letz).

- A couple of primitive D-Bus interface slots have been introduced,
giving the option to start/stop the jackd server from the system bus eg.
via dbus-send --system / org.rncbc.qjackctl.start (.stop), (a nice
addition supplied by Robin Gareus, thanks).

- New command line option (-a, --active-patchbay=[path]) to specify and
activate a given patchbay definition file (a simple patch sent by John
Schneiderman, thanks).

- Added one significant digit to DSP Load percentage status display.

- Tentative support for netjack (slave) by adding the "net" driver to
the existing backend driver options on the Setup/Settings section.

- Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.

- New patchbay snapshot now raises the dirty flag and allows for the
immediate salvage of patchbay definition profile.

- Conditional build for JACK port aliases support (JACK >= 0.109.2).

- Alternate icon sizes other than default 16x16, are now effective to
the Connections widget (Setup/Dislay/Connections Window/Icon size).


Enjoy,
