The Qstuff* Spring'16 Release Frenzy

On the wake of the miniLAC2016@c-base.org Berlin, and keeping up with tradition, the most venerable of the Qstuff* are under so called Spring'16 release frenzy.

Enjoy the party!

Details are as follows...

QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface

QjackCtl 0.4.2 (spring'16) released!

Change-log:

  • Added a brand new "Enable JACK D-BUS interface" option, split from the old common "Enable D-BUS interface" setup option which now refers to its own self D-BUS interface exclusively.
  • Dropped old "Start minimized to system tray" option from setup.
  • Add double-click action (toggle start/stop) to systray (a pull request by Joel Moberg, thanks).
  • Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
  • System-tray icon context menu has been fixed/hacked to show up again on Plasma 5 (aka. KDE5) notification status area.
  • Switched column entries in the unified interface device combo-box to make it work for macosx/coreaudio again.
  • Blind fix to a FTBFS on macosx/coreaudio platforms, a leftover from the unified interface device selection combo-box inception, almost two years ago.
  • Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
  • Late French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).

QmidiCtl - A MIDI Remote Controller via UDP/IP Multicast

QmidiCtl 0.4.0 (spring'16) released!

QmidiCtl is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast.

QmidiCtl has been primarily designed for the Maemo enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 and also being promoted to the Maemo Package repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found effective as a regular desktop application as well.
