hopefully.
- Graph: Ctrl+left or middle-button click-dragging for panning, is
now a lot smoother, hopefully.
- Graph: Click-dragging with the mouse middle-button is now used

Colors.
- Make Graph nodes (ie. client boxes) transparent for yet some
eye-candiness ;). Also keep the (Graph) current selection across
port (dis)connections.
- Drawing patchbay connector lines as (bezier) curves is now a

- Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
- Late French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
0.4.1 2015-10-28 A Fall'15 release.

most recent used list.
0.3.12 2014-10-19 JACK Pretty-names aliasing.
- JACK client/port pretty-name (metadata) support is being
introduced and seamlessly integrated with old Connections
client/port aliases editing (rename) (refactored from an
original patch by Paul Davis, thanks).

- Interface device selection is now unified, by moving the old '>'
pop-up menu into the customized combo-box drop-down list showing all

0.3.9 2012-05-18 The last of the remnants.
- Killing D-BUS controlled JACK server is now made optional, cf.
Setup/Misc/Stop JACK audio server on application exit. (a patch by
Roland Mas, thanks).
- Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
- Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
- A mis-quoting bug at the command line argument string may have
been crippling the (unmaintained) Windows port since ever, leaving
its main function to start jackd dead in the water, belly down :)
now hopefully fixed (following a mail transaction with Stephane
Letz and Mathias Nagorni, thanks).
- Currently a JACK2-only feature, the JACK version string display at
the About dialog box, must now be explicitly enabled on configure
time (--enable-jack-version).
- A new so called "Server Suffix" parameter option appears to rescue
on the situations where QjackCtl falls short on extra, exquisite
and/or esoteric command line options eg. (net)jack1/2 differences.
- Fixed D-Bus Input/Output device parameter settings, filled when
either interface is selected for Capture/Playback only. (probable
fix for bug #3441860).
- Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir, --mandir. (after an
original patch from h3xx, thanks).
- Main window is now brought to front and (re)activated when
clicking on the system tray icon instead of just hiding it.
- Add current xrun count to the system tray icon tooltip, if not
zero (after patch #3314633 by Colin Fletcher, thanks).
0.3.8 2011-07-01 JACK Session versioning.
- Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
- Session "Save" button now a drop-down menu, replacing the session
save type combo-box/drop-down list selection. Also, an early session
directory versioning/numbering scheme is now in place, although
optional.
- Probable fix to debian bug report #624198 - segfault when pressing
the stop button (by Grant Adrian Diffey, after a patch from Adrian
Knoth, thanks).
- Desktop environment session shutdown (eg. logout) is now tapped
for graceful application exit, even though the main window is
active (visible) and minimizing to system tray is enabled. Both
were causing first shutdown/logout attempt to abort. Not anymore,
hopefully ;).
- Make sure all activated patchbay definition files are in their
complete and absolute directory path forms.
- Connections refresh button now does an immediate and true
reconstruction of all clients and their respective ports and
connections, unconditionally.
- Command line server start option (-s, --start) is now made
independent from configuration setup option (cf. Setup/Misc/Start
JACK audio server on application startup).
- Now handling cable socket types properly to let patchbay
definitions work correctly, whenever having sockets with the very
same literal name (twisted from patch #3183467, by Karsten,
thanks;).
- Abrupt focus behavior when any of the keyboard modifiers (Shift,
Ctrl, Alt, Caps Lock) is hit while on Connections client/port
aliases editing (rename) has been fixed.
- Russian (ru) translation updated (by Alexandre Prokoudine).
- Added include "errno.h" alegedly missing for BSD style systems
(applying patch for bug #3126091).
0.3.7 2010-11-30 JACK Session managerism.
- Session widget has session save type preserved as well.
- Connections and the new Messages/Status widgets now have their
last open tab preserved across program run-cycles.
- Connections and Patchbay widgets have been finally given up on
an old feature request: an Expand All items button.
- A significant UI layout has been made: the Messages and Status
widgets were merged into one, giving space to the brand new Session
wigdet to be easy accessible from the main panel control window.
- libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, as
seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian
6. (closing bug #3050915).
- Input/Output latency options were missing but now finally enabled
for the firewire back-end.
- General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
- Avoid pre-loading a stalled patchbay definition filename and its
nagging error on startup (fixes bug #3017078).
- Client connection retrial logic scrapped. Being a leftover from
early ages, when machines were slower and JACK server startup times
were longer... now, if it can't connect first time as client, it
will tear down the server whether it's starting up still or not at
all. (cf. Setup/Settings/Start Delay for the rescue).
- Server name is finally part of the server settings presets, thanks
to Fons Adriaensen for the heads-up.
- As a workaround regarding issues switching jack2's backends, Robin
Gareus sends us yet another D-Bus method slot: "preset", (dbus-send
--system / org.rncbc.qjackctl.preset string:PRESET). Thanks again.
- Another D-Bus interface slot makes it through implementation:
"quit" (eg. usage: dbus-send --system / org.rncbc.qjackctl.quit).
Besides, there's also these new JACK session management actions
which were being overlooked as well: "load", "save", "savequit"
and "savetemplate" are also available as D-Bus method slots.
- Make sure that Patchbay socket names are unique when adding or
copying, fixing previous patch by Dominic Sacre.
- JACK version is now being shown on the About box (jack2).
- Slight Connections widget behavioral change: (dis)connecting a
client (from) to one single port, (dis)connections will be applied
in sequence from (to) all client output ports to (from) as many
input ports there are in below, one by one (satisfying a 5 year
old request from Yann Orlarey, thanks:).
- JACK session support is being introduced.
- Ignore first XRUN occurrence option dropped from statistics.
- Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has been
slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to wrong main
widget hidden state.
- Double-quotes are now being added to device names which include
blank characters and were rendering invalid all command line
invocation of the classic JACK server (eg. specially due for
Portaudio device names on Windows).
- Transport play (rolling) status is now being guarded to avoid
backfiring from extraneous transport state changes.
- General source tree layout and build configuration change.
- Italian (it) translation added (by Sergio Atzori).
- Post-shutdown script invocation logic slightly refactored in
attempt to enforce its execution on application quit.
0.3.6 2010-03-09 Full D-Busification!
- Make sure socket names are unique on each side of the Patchbay
(another patch from Dominic Sacre, thanks).
- A bunch of primitive D-Bus interface slots have been added,
allowing shortcut access to most of main applications actions like
toggling Messages, Status, Connections, Patchbay widget pop-ups,
reset stats, transport and so on. New bindings are given eg. via
dbus-send --system / org.rncbc.qjackctl.(main, messages, status,
connections, patchbay, setup, about, reset, rewind, backward, play,
pause, forward). (from an original idea from Sebastian Gutsfeld,
thanks).
- Patchbay snapshot now tolerates JACK client port strings that have
more than one semi-colon in it, honoring just the first one exactly
as everywhere else eg. Connections. (a glitch as reported by Geoff
Beasley while using a2jmidid).
- Most modal message dialog boxes (eg. critical errors) are now
replaced by system tray icon bubble messages where available
(mitigating feature request #2936455).
- Comply with jackd >= 0.118.0 which nowruns in real-time mode by
default; use of -R is now deprecated from the jackd command line
interface options; use -r to run in non-real-time-scheduling.
- A man page has beed added.
- Got rid of a pretty old and never really useful "jackd-realtime"
server path option--actually, it was only seen available on the
now defunct old Mandrake Linux distro.
- D-Bus support, as provided by org.jackaudio.service aka jackdbus,
is now being introduced and used wherever available and whenever
enabled. Configuring, starting, stopping and logging the JACK
back-end server through the "infamous" jackdbus service is now
being seamlessly exploited.
- Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
disk when Setup dialog changes are accepted and applied.
- Server name command line option added (-n, --server-name).
- Single application instance restriction option added (X11).
- Setup for the netjack (slave) "net" driver has now sample-rate and
frames per buffer (period size) settings disabled and/or ignored, as
those are pretty much auto-detected by default; also, a new "netone"
backend driver option has been introduced (as suggested by Torben
Hohn).
- Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
- Fixed some main window keyboard shortcuts. Escape key now closes
Connections, Patchbay, Status and Messages widgets as usual (bug
#2871548).
- Fixed glitch on configure portaudio support, specially when the
library is not detected as available.
0.3.5 2009-09-30 Slipped away!
- 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).
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.
