- Graph port-type colors are now configurable (cf. menu View >
  Colors.

- Make Graph nodes (ie. client boxes) transparent for yet some
  eye-candiness ;). Also keep the (Graph) current selection across
  port (dis)connections.

  freedesktop.org specification and recommendation.

- Graph auto-layout improvement for brand new node clients.

- Respect ALSA Sequencer support option also on Graph view.

- Regression to new Graph node/ports sorting comparator; also fixed
  multiple and many port removals, most probably causing it to crash
  due to double-free/delete potential.

- Fixed the automatic aggregation of new Graph client nodes that are
  split as either input or output only (ie. system, terminal, physical
  or otherwise non-duplex nodes).

- Added View/Zoom Range mode option to Graph tool.


0.5.1  2018-05-21  Pre-LAC2018 release frenzy.

- Half a decade later, recent new custom entries may now get removed
  from Session Infra-client list.

- Some rather old, better said "Cambric explosion era", user
  preference options have been ditched altogether: Display / Time
  Format; Display / Shiny glass light effect; Display /
  Connections/Draw connections and patchbay lines as Bezier curves;
  Misc/Configure as temporary server.

- A brand new and way long overdue connections Graph widget is
  finally introduced, only to be accessible through the context menu
  at this time.

- Extended multi-selection is now supported on all Connections
  client/port lists, allowing for multiple (dis)connections at once.

- Current preset is always taken into account if ever changes while
  the Setup dialog is hidden (eg. via context menu).

- Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent from
  build/configure template chains.

- Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo file
  (formerly AppData).


0.4.5  2017-04-27  Pre-LAC2017 release frenzy.

- On some desktop-shells, the system tray icon blinking on XRUN
  ocurrences, have been found responsible to excessive CPU usage,
  an "eye-candy" effect which is now optional as far as  Setup/
  Display/Blink server mode indicator goes.

- Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).

- Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of the
  configure build date and time stamps.


0.4.4  2016-11-14  A Fall'16 release.

- Fixed an early crash when the singleton/unique application
  instance setup option is turned off.

- Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
  line options, wrt. installation directories specification,
  eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.


0.4.3  2016-09-14  End of Summer'16 release.

- Fix build error caused by variable length array.

- Fix some tooltip spelling (patch by Jaromír Mikeš, thanks).

- Translation (not) fix for the default server name "(default)".

- Old "Start minimized to system tray" option returns to setup.

- Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant given
  that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido Scholz, while
  for Qtractor, thanks).

- Late again French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert aka.
  trebmuh, thanks).


0.4.2  2016-04-05  Spring'16 release frenzy.

- 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).


0.4.1  2015-10-28  A Fall'15 release.

- Probing portaudio audio device in a separate thread (by Kjetil
  Matheussen, thanks).

- Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now in
  both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.

- Regression fix for invalid system-tray icon dimensions reported
  by some desktop environment frameworks.

- New hi-res application icon (by Uttrup Renzel, Max Christian
  Pohle, thanks).

- System tray icon red background now blinks when a XRUN occurs.

- Desktop environment session shutdown/logout management has been
  also adapted to Qt5 framework.

- Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.

- Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.

- Overrideable tooltips with latency info (re. Connections JACK
  client/ports: patch by Xavier Mendez, thanks).

- Complete rewrite of Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.

- French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).


0.4.0  2015-07-15  Summer'15 release frenzy.

- Some windows fixes added (patch by Kjetil Matheussen, thanks).

- Most advanced Setup/Settings are moved into new Setup/Advanced
  settings tab; limit range for the real-time priority setting, now
  having 6 as absolute minimum valid value (after patches by Robin
  Gareus, thanks).

- A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
  sub-routine is now in effect.

- Delayed geometry setup for widget windows upon startup has been
  deprecated and scrapped altogether.

- Setup/settings dialog tab is going into some layout changes; also
  got rid of old patchbay auto-refresh timer cruft, which was
  previously hidden/disabled.

- New socket names are now automatically inferred from selected
  client names while on the Patchbay widget, Socket dialog.

- Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.

- German (de) translation update (by Guido Scholz, thanks).


0.3.13  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.

- Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.

- Setup dialog form is now modeless.

- Introducing brand new active patchbay reset/disconnect-all user
  preference option.

- Current highlighted client/port connections are now drawn with
  thicker connector lines.

- New user preference option on whether to show the nagging 'program
  will keep running in the system tray' message, on main window close.

- Connections lines now drawn with anti-aliasing; connections
  splitter handles width is now reduced.

- Drop missing or non-existent patchbay definition files from the
  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).

- Application close confirm warning is now raising the main window
  as visible and active for due top level display, especially
  applicable when minimized to the system tray.

- Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved as
  for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.

- Translations install directory change.

- Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.

- Missing input/output-latency parameter settings now settled for
  the D-BUS controlled JACK server and firewire back-end driver.


0.3.11  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.

- More preparations for Qt5 configure build.

- Interface device selection is now unified, by moving the old '>'
  pop-up menu into the customized combo-box drop-down list showing all
  available card/device names and descriptions (on a patch by Arnout
  Engelen, thanks).

- Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures (patch
  by Alexis Ballier, thanks).


0.3.10  2013-04-01  The singing swan rehersal.

- Session infra-client management finally being added.

- Preparations for Qt5 migration.

- Transport tempo (BPM) precision display fixed to 4 digits.

- Color-candy (dang old ANSI terminal?) escape sequences are now
  silently stripped from jackdbus messages captured log (onliner
  from original patch by Brendan Jones, thanks).

- List ALSA device card id. string instead of device number, while
  on setup dialog.

- Japanese (ja) translation added (by Takashi Sakamoto).


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.

- JACK client/port aliases may now be displayed as a global user
  option (see Setup/Display/Connections/JACK client/port aliases).

- Lighten up the connections line and highlight colors, as seen to
  fit best on some darker background themes.

- Patchbay snapshot fixed to differentiate socket clients according
  to its type (Audio, MIDI or ALSA-Seq), avoiding the mess and gross
  mistake of hanging disparate type ports under the same client item.

- JACK_DEFAULT_SERVER environment variable is now appended to the
  X11 unique application identifier, allowing for having multiple
  instances each controlling its own JACK server, besides the default
  one.

- Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
  font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
  to the rescue: Setup/Misc/Defaults/Base font size (default is
  no-op).


0.3.3  2008-06-07  Patchbay JACK-MIDI, file logging and X11 uniqueness.

- Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of the
  ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
  (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).

- Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
  with user configurable settings in Setup/Options/Logging.

- Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
  with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
  running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
  up and the server started automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).

- Finally, full JACK MIDI support sneaks into the patchbay; socket
  types now differ in Audio, MIDI and ALSA, following the very same
  nomenclature as found on the Connections widget tabs.

- Sun driver support (by Jacob Meuser).

- Delay window positioning at startup option is now being disabled,
  on the Setup/Misc tab, when Minimize to system tray is enabled.

- Cosmetic fix: Setup/Settings tab, 'Input Device' text label was
  using a slightly smaller font than the rest of the application
  (bug#1872545, reported by Jouni Rinne).


0.3.2  2007-12-20  Patchbay heads-up with season greetings.

- Patchbay port matching has been slightly extended, this time
  allowing for the multiple or as many-to-many connections between
  socket plugs, provided these are specified in proper regex form
  (after a patch proposed by Dave Moore, thanks).

- A new option to start the program minimized when the system tray
  icon is enabled, is now available from Setup/Misc/Start minimized to
  system tray (as kindly suggested by Marc-Olivier Barre).

- Regression from QSystemTrayIcon (Qt4 >= 4.2) implementation, at
  least on X11 environments: while the main application widget was
  minimized to the system-tray, closing any other top-level widget was
  causing the immediate and unexpected application shutdown.

- Some portaudio backend settings are now being enabled, specially
  suited for the jackdmp flavouring.

- Server mode display blinking, usually shown as the RT indicator,
  is now an option (Setup/Display/Blink server mode indicator when
  started).

- Tool/child windows position and size preservation fixed.

- The connections/patchbay auto-refresh option has been finally
  removed due to several user requests, although deprecated for quite
  some time now it has been the probable cause of some periodic xrun
  occurrences due to graph-locking in jackd (while making Geoff
  Beasley angry in the process:).

- Messages line limit was not being checked, now honored.

- Simple as it could ever be, the build executive summary report is
  now given on configure.

- Patchbay snapshot ot its socket and port ordering back.

- ALSA Sequencer support is now an optional feature on setup,
  preventing the annoying "MIDI patchbay will be not available"
  warning message, ruining window placement on Linux systems where the
  snd-midi-seq kernel module is not loaded or not favorable (eg. OSS)
  at startup (by request from Jussi Laako).

- Get configure to try and detect the correct qmake location and
  insert it the search order, so let the qt4 tools take precedence
  when --with-qt option is given and older qt3 ones coexist and are
  found located ahead in the PATH.

- The connections widget is now being properly refreshed, due to
  some quirk in the QTreeWidget which was preventing some items,
  specially the expanded ones, to disappear in the void. Meanwhile,
  with a hand from Stephane Letz, the client/port lookup method was
  changed to prevent duplicated, missing entries or worse, crashes
  due to weird behaved windows applications.

- The xrun count stats can now be reset simply by middle clicking on
  the systray icon or the main window's display area (thanks to patch
  sent by Dominic Sacre).

- An improved version of the "shiny" background image was issued.
  The original somehow looked like two different images put together,
  probably most apparent on a bright TFT screen (by Dominic Sacre).

- A warning is now being issued, asking whether one wants to remove
a corresponding Patchbay connection, when client/ports are being
  disconnected over the Connections window, thus avoiding automatic
  reconnection annoyance due to normal active Patchbay behavior.

- The infamous "Keep child windows always on top" global option is
  now supposed to behave a little better when disabled, layering
  child windows as naturally as far the window manager dictates.

- Input/Output Channel setting is now allowed to be greater than 32;
  the special default text is now displayed, also on Input/Output
  Latency and Priority settings spin-boxes.

- Andreas Persson just sent a patch that makes it possible to
  compile and run qjackctl with Qt version 4.1. Applied without
  hesitation, thanks.


0.3.1a  2007-07-19  System-tray tooltip icon crash fix.

- An immediate showstopper crash upon client start was irradicated,
  which was affecting those with the system-tray icon disabled, as is
  the default (thanks to Ken Ellinwood for first reporting this sloppy
  one).


0.3.1  2007-07-18  Shallowed bug-fix release.

- The current DSP load percentage activity is now also displayed on
  the system-tray icon tooltip.

- An illusive but nasty Connections/Patchbay item tooltip crash bug
  has been hopefully fixed (Qt >= 4.3).

- Now using QSystemTrayIcon class facility if available (Qt4 >= 4.2)
  making the system-tray option available on most platforms, notably
  on Windows and Mac OS X.

- Usage of QProcess class has been severely refactored, now using
  QProcess::start() instead of QProcess::startDetached(), giving much
  tighter control over the started jackd(mp) process. Downside is that
  QjackCtl lost its ability and option to leave the process detached
  upon quitting the application. Too bad.

- A new eye-candy bit has sneaked in: server mode display, that is
  the RT indicator, now blinks when server/client is started/active.

- Combo-box setup history has been corrected on restore, which was
  discarding the very initial default (factory) contents.

- Now that Qt4 is accessible to open-source Windows appplications,
  there's some experimental stuff sneaking in for jackdmp support on
  win32 (http://www.grame.fr/~letz/jackdmp.html).

- Connections list items were initially sorted in descending order
  by default. Fixed. Client items are now naturally sorted, again.


0.3.0  2007-07-10  Qt4 migration was complete.

- Qt4 migration was complete. Care must be taken with this new
  configuration file and location: this release starts a new one from
  scratch and won't reuse any of the previous existing ones, although
  cut and paste might help if you know what you're doing :)

- On a last-minute addition, the "firewire" audio backend driver
  option has been also included, supporting the ffado.org project
  which is evolving where "freebob" is leaving (thanks to Klaus
  Zimmermann for this one).


0.2.23  2007-07-02  JACK MIDI support debut.

- JACK MIDI support is now being introduced. Connections window now
  has a brand new MIDI tab, the older being renamed to ALSA, as for
  the ALSA/MIDI sequencer conveniency. The server settings now include
  the MIDI driver setup option (ALSA backend only).

- Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
  application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
  spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant; initial
  debianization.

- Invalidation of the JACK client handle is now forced right on
  jack_shutdown notification, preventing a most probable fatal crash
  due to jack_deactivate and/or jack_client_close being called after
  the jack_watchdog kicks in.

- Default font option names were adjusted to "Sans Serif" and
  "Monospace", wherever available.

- The "keep child windows always on top" option is not set as
  default anymore, because window focus behavior gets tricky on some
  desktop environments (eg. Mac OS X, Gnome).

- Autoconf (configure) scripting gets an update.


0.2.22  2007-03-31  Long overdue but better late than never.

- Fixed default settings for the freebob backend (JACK >= 0.103.0).

- CPU Load status label now says correctly DSP Load.

- The most recently used patchbay definitions can now be correctly
  selected in round-robin fashion from its drop-down list widget.

- Avoid mixing JACK MIDI ports with regular audio ports on the
  Connections and Patchbay widgets; strictly list only audio ports.

- Added 192k sample rate to setup settings drop down list (as kindly
  reminded by Klaus Zimmermann, thanks).

- Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which
  were causing some sticky size behavior on some window managers.


0.2.21  2006-10-07  Shrinking on screen real-estate.

- GPL address update.

- All window captions can now be set smaller as tool-widgets. This
  option takes effect when child windows are kept always on top.

- For the brave of heart, specially the ones brave enough to try
  with Stephane Letz's jackdmp, a win32 build should be now possible.

- The main window button text labels are now optional (after a kind
  suggestion by Geoff Beasley, thanks).

- Increse default maximum number of ports setting from 128 to 256.

- Initial freebob backend driver support. Also changed the coreaudio
  backend driver command line device name/id parameter.

- Closing the main window while not as an active JACK client, nor
  under a server running state, will just quit the whole application,
  even though the system-tray icon option is in effect.

- The most relevant transport commands (Rewind, Play and Pause) are
  now made available on the main window context popup menu.

- The post-shutdown script is now also being called when using the
  Stop button, whether the jackd server has been started internally or
  not. The initial hard-coded default is now on and set to `killall
  jackd` (as a workaround to an old request from Stephane Letz).

- The main window buttons display are now optional. One can choose
  whether the left, right and/or transport buttons are hidden, making
  it for a total of six different modes for the main window
  presentation (after a much simpler suggestion from Paul Davis and
  Stephane Letz).

- Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).


0.2.20  2006-03-05  Featuring patchbay socket forwarding.

- Server path setting now accepts custom command line parameters
  (after a kind suggestion from Jussi Laako).

- The internal XRUN callback notification statistics and reporting
  has been changed to be a bit less intrusive.

- Patchbay socket dialog gets some more eye-candy as icons have been
  added to the client and plug selection (combobox) widgets.

- Connections and patchbay lines coloring has changed just slightly
  :)

- New patchbay socket forwarding feature. Any patchbay socket can
  now be set to have all its connections replicated (i.e. forwarded)
  to another one, which will behave actively as a clone of the former.
  Forward connections are shown by vertical directed colored lines,
  and can be selected either on socket dialog or from context menu
  (currently experimental, only applicable to input/writable sockets).

- Optional specification of alternate JACK and/or ALSA installation
  paths on configure time (after a patch from Lucas Brasilino,
  thanks).


0.2.19a  2005-11-28  MIDI aliases are back in town.

- ALSA sequencer client/port name aliases are functional again; all
  actual MIDI sequencer client/port numerical identifier prefixes are
  also back in business.


0.2.19  2005-11-19  MRU patchbay selection, Mac OS X and other fixes.

- Connections widget views are now properly refreshed after renaming
  client/ports (aliases).

- Disabled system tray and ALSA sequencer support on configure time,
  whenever building for MacOSX as default.

- Fixed the major issues with selecting an audio interface on Mac
  OSX; the button the right of the interface combo is now much better
  looking than it was before; input/output channel counts are also
  updated automatically now (thanks to Jesse Chappell for the patch).

- Prevent the setting of the coreaudio device id on the jackd
  command line (-n) whenever the default interface is being selected.

- The connections and patchbay windows are now allowed to have a
  wider connection lines frame panel; splitter width sizes are now
  persistent across application sessions (thanks to Filipe Tomas for
  the hint).

- Activation toggling feedback on the patchbay widget has been
  fixed; additionally and as found convenient, the most recently used
  patchbay definitions can now be loaded immediately by selecting from
a drop-down list widget, which replaces the old static patchbay name
  status text, and adds a lil'icon too :)

- All widget captions changed to include proper application title
  prefix.

- Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; sample
  SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and generated at
  configure time.

- The current selected device is now shown with a checkmark on the
  device selection menu(s), while on the settings dialog.

- Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of registering
  the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal to quit() slot, just to
  let the -geometry command line argument have some effect on X11.


0.2.18  2005-07-18  The mantra of bugfixes stays on.

- A freezing and endless loop condition on the patchbay socket item
  duplication (copy) has been fixed.

- Fixed output disability when messages limit option is turned off
  (thanks again to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this one).


0.2.17  2005-06-17  Systemic I/O Latency settings are in.

- Systemic I/O Latency settings are now featured for the alsa, oss
  and coreaudio backends, letting you specify the known latency of
  external hardware for client aware compensation purposes (thanks to
  Wolfgang Woehl, for the reminder).

- Update on last backstage changes to the coreaudio backend options
  (due to Stephane Letz. Thanks).


0.2.16  2005-06-13  OSS device name selection and Mac OS X breakthrough.

- ALSA sequencer client/port name changes are now properly detected
  on the MIDI connections widget (as noted by Chris Cannam. Thanks).

- Long overdue transport buttons (rewind, backward and forward)
  finally landed onto the main control window, at last :).

- Duplication (copy) of patchbay socket items was added.

- Do not ever try to start the JACK server if there's one already
  found running, on which case the client-only mode of operation is
  then activated (as kindly suggested by Orm Finnendahl, thanks).

- After several Mac OS X user requests, ALSA/MIDI sequencer support
  is now an option, otherwise detected at configure time and
  conditionally compiled in if, and only if, ALSA is found available
  (which has been a primordial assumption on Linux systems:). Ah, and
  that just makes for the blind inclusion of another backend driver
  option: coreaudio.

- Actual OSS device selection menu now featured on setup dialog;
  these adds to the device selection button menus for the OSS driver
  settings.

- Delayed geometry setup of windows upon startup was added as an
  optional workaround to subtle problems due to window decoration
  information not being available at window creation time on some
  window managers (as patch proposed by Dirk Jagdmann. Thanks).

- Fixed some minor but rather old bug that was quitting the
  application abruptly, when one switches off the system tray icon
  while the main application widget is hidden.

- Cancel is now an option when creating a new patchbay definition.

- Context menus are finally littered with icons.

- Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and Mac OS X
  specialties. Also, install does the right thing with target file
  modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim Mayat, for pointing these
  out).


0.2.15a  2005-02-09  Return of the paranoid.

- Regression from 0.2.13, of the not so stupid pseudo-mutex guards
  on the connections management framework, after fixing some crash
  reports from Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano and Dave Phillips
  (thanks!); it pays to be such a paranoid after all :).


0.2.15  2005-02-06  Client/port names aliasing and other minors.

- JACK/ALSA client and port name aliasing (renaming) is now an
  optional feature for the connections window; all client/port
  aliases are saved on a per preset basis (as proposed for
  Lionstracs' Mediastation).

- Server state now shown (back gain) on the system tray icon
  tooltip; speaking of which, tooltips are now also featured on
  connections, status and patchbay windows.

- New actual hardware device selection menu featured on setup
  dialog; these new button menus are only available for the ALSA
  driver settings.

- Server path factory default to jackd instead of jackstart; preset
  setup button icons are back.

- Fixed rare connection port item removal/disconnection dangling
  pointer bug.


0.2.14  2005-01-23  More progressive optimizations.

- Put a limit on XRUN callback messages and statistics report rate,
  preventing the potential hosing of the GUI due to a XRUN cascade
  storm. The maximum reasonable report rate has been fixed to be one
  XRUN callback occurrence per second.

- Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where available,
  as the default handler is usually fatal when a JACK client is
  zombified abruptly.

- All conection view items are now sorted in natural case
  insensitive order, not just as audio port names as was before.

- Got rid of those nonsense paranoid and rather stupid pseudo-mutex
  guards on the connections management framework and event
  notifications (nuff said :).

- Optional confirmation warning on audio server shutdown, if there's
  some audio clients still active and connected (as suggested by Sampo
  Savolainen).

- Check for <jack/statistics.h> on configure time (as of JACK 0.99.42+ CVS).

- "Unlock memory" server setup option was added, allowing the
  release of memory used by common toolkit libraries (GTK+, Qt, FLTK,
  Wine) that were being superfluously locked on every GUI JACK client;
  number of periods has now the minimum allowed value of 2; server
  start delay widget converted to spinbox; setup dialog layout slighly
  changed.

- Removed stand-alone usx2y driver support. Since JACK 0.99.41+ CVS,
  the special "rawusb" support on the Tascam US-122/224/428 USB
  Audio/MIDI interface controllers have been merged and properly
  integrated into the regular alsa backend driver. Being still
  experimental, this special mode of operation is now triggered only
  when "hw:N,2" is specified as the alsa device name (N = soundcard
  index of snd-usb-usx2y module).

- Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line count
  exceeds in one third the user configured line count maximum; if Qt
  3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is otherwise set to the
  optimized Qt::LogText format.

- XRUN status items are kept double-dashed if none has been
  detected.


0.2.13  2004-11-21  Retouches and minor optimizations.

- Main window is now properly minimized instead of simply hidden
  when the system tray icon is not available nor opted in (as
  suggested by Florian Schmidt).

- Some informational status items are now updated 10 times less
  frequently (e.g. CPU Load, Sample Rate, Buffer Size, Realtime Mode,
  etc.), lowering the CPU burden of most probably redundant status
  updates.

- XRUN detection and statistics are being conditionally included if
  jack_get_xrun_delayed_usecs() is available (as of JACK 0.99.7+ CVS).

- Fixed ancient bug on client shutdown event handling, which was
  invoking the xrun notification handler by mistake.

- Support for maximum scheduling delay status added; this status
  relies on jack_get_max_delayed_usecs() function availability at
  configure time, depending on a Lee Revell's non-official JACK patch.

- Patchbay Activate button is now a toggle button widget, allowing
  the deactivation of the current patchbay profile.

- Reset-status icon has been changed to a simple red circle instead
  of previous one which was much like a power-switch symbol.

- Preset selection has been added to the context menu.


0.2.12a  2004-10-11  Audio connections now naturally sorted.

- Client port list on audio connections are now hopefully fixed for
  good; the sort comparison function now takes full natural order into
  account.


0.2.12  2004-10-08  Larger icons and font option on connections/patchbay.

- Fixed some old and slow memory-leak due to redundand and
  repetitive call to jack_port_by_name() (discovered and solved,
  thanks to Jesse Chappell); some other free() and configure fixes
  were also applied.

- Shiny display effect toggling has immediate feedback on setup
  dialog.

- Added new usx2y driver support.

- New scaled connections/patchbay icons were added; meanwhile, all
  inline XPM icons were removed and brainlessly converted to PNG
  format.

- New setup options as for the connections/patchbay view
  apprearence: larger icon sizes and font selection are now possible,
  to better ease manipulation on a touchscreen (feature requested for
  Lionstracs' Mediastation).

- Connection line width follows icon size in discrete proportion.

- "Other" setup options moved to a new dialog tab, "Misc"; new
  extreme item values, 32 and 16 frames, added to the drop-down list
  of the Frames/Buffer setting (as suggested by Mark Knetch).


0.2.11  2004-09-10  Shiny display now optional and other fixes.

- Fixed Input/Output channels settings, being now either enabled
  when the ALSA driver is selected for Capture/Playback only.

- Shiny display effect: after some conservative user complaints this
  pure cosmetic feature is now made optional ;)


0.2.10  2004-09-04  Shiny display and curved connections.

- New pre-shutdown script setup option, allowing to specify a
  shell-script to be run before the JACK server daemon is
  shutted-down. This overrides any previous shutdown script setting,
  which should be now moved onto the existing post-shutdown script
  option, as to keep old procedural behaviour.

- Avoid stopping JACK prematurely with QProcess::kill() (oneliner
  fix); stopping JACK will now take a little bit longer, but hopefully
  will take the time to cleanup properly (thanks to Kjetil
  Matheussen).

- ALSA driver Duplex mode accepts alternate Input or Output device
  name.

- Context menu reset option is now always enabled (yet another
  suggestion from Sampo Savolainen).

- Main display background gets shinny effect; adjusted system tray
  background palette color mode.

- Priority and setup control is now a spinbox ranging from 0..89 (as
  suggested by Florian Schmidt). Same for Periods/Buffer.

- Patchbay connection lines are now drawn correctly when items are
  scrolled out of view. Additionally, the connection lines can now be
  optionally drawn as bezier spline curves (big thanks to Wilfried
  Huss).


0.2.9  2004-07-04  Sloppy boy fixes and minor featuritis.

- Patchbay socket dialog client and plug list option items are now
  properly escaped as regular expressions.

- JACK callbacks are now internally mapped to QCustomeEvent's
  instead of using the traditional pipe notifications.

- The system tray popup menu is now featured as a context menu on
  the main application window too.

- The reset status option is now included in the system tray popup
  menu.

- Server stop command button now enabled during client startup
  interval; this makes it possible to stop the server just in case
  the client can't be activated for any reason.

- Top level sub-windows are now always raised and set with active
  focus when shown to visibility.


0.2.8  2004-04-30  System tray icon and menu option.

- New option for system tray icon and menu, which is known to be
  effective on KDE enabled desktops; support for freedesktop.org's
  system tray protocol specification has been included so this maybe
  also effective on Gnome2.

- Capture or Playback-only optional alternate device interface name
  may now be specified for the ALSA audio driver server settings.

- Maximum number of ports setting was added to server setup.

- The dash (-) is now a legal character for preset names.


0.2.7b  2004-04-05  OSS driver setup fix.

- OSS driver halfduplex setup operation is now fixed, thanks to
  Jussi Laako.


0.2.7a  2004-04-05  Compilation fix for Qt 3.1.

- QSplitter::setChildrenCollapsible call is now conditionally
  compiled, applied only on Qt 3.2+.


0.2.7  2004-04-04  User-interface refinements and OSS driver support.

- Connections and patchbay windows horizontal layout are now user
  configurable via splitter widgets.

- Refresh on connections window now take effect on both tabs, Audio
  (JACK) and MIDI (ALSA).

- OSS driver support and no-mlock option added to server settings,
  setup dialog (as of JACK 0.95.7+).

- Temporary server configuration option added, applicable to the
  auto-start server feature on client applications, whether the
  server shall exit once all clients are closed.

- Server mode (RT) status display added.

- Warning messages are now prompted to the user when there are any
  pending changes not saved nor applied while on the setup dialog.

- Translation support for the default preset name "(default)".

- Messages window pops up whenever a critical error message is
  issued.


0.2.6  2004-02-29  More work in progress.

- Message window line limit is now a configurable option on setup,
  as is whether the command-line local configuration file gets saved
  at all; the first argument of the command-line configuration is
  stuffed to be the executable server command absolute path, when
  possible.

- Warning message issued if ALSA sequencer is not available on
  startup; also if server settings are changed while client is
  currently active.

- Server autostart magic is locally disabled by forcing the
  environment variable JACK_NO_START_SERVER at startup; with any luck
  this will maintain qjackctl's behaviour whether the JACK server is
  already started or not.

- Makefile.cvs makes its late entrance on the build toolset.


0.2.5  2004-02-16  Server survival option and command-line wrapper feature.

- New option on application exit for leaving the JACK server daemon
  running, surviving the parent process; the confirmation prompt on
  application close now features a "Terminate", "Leave" and "Cancel"
  button options.

- New command-line wrapper feature for JACK client applications,
  thus giving a convenient head start for the JACK audio server as
  needed (as suggested by Fernando Pablo Lopez-Lezcano, of Planet
  CCRMA fame).

- Messages, Status, Connections and Patchbay pop-up windows are not
  hinted as dialogs anymore and thus are not centered relative to
  parent main window which has become a strict Qt dialog widget
  behaviour (as of Qt 3.3+).

- Patchbay window content changes are now properly updated, without
  the need for a later manual refresh to redraw stalled connection
  lines.

- The snapshot option for creating a new patchbay definition from
  current actual connections now takes client and port names as
  regular expressions and smart enough when regarding more than two
  contiguous decimal digits :)

- Patchbay socket list view ordering is now properly preserved;
  socket dialog gets plug list handling ehancements; active patchbay
  gets reloaded when commited and saved to file; connections redraw
  on socket removal has been fixed.

- Server literal command-line is now saved into local configuration
  file (~/.jackdrc) for convenience of future auto-start client
  applications.

- New setup option on whether all child windows are kept on top of
  the main window, or otherwise floating with probable taskbar entries
  of their own.

- Setup changes that are only effective next time the program is run
  gets an informational message box shown to the user.


0.2.4  2004-02-01  Exclusive patchbay sockets.

- Patchbay definitions may now be configured with exclusive sockets;
  this way, only one defined connection is allowed as soon as it's
  available, being all others immediatelly disconnected whenever
  attempted.

- On the connections view, current connected client ports are now
  slightly highlighted (blue) whenever a client or port is selected on
  the opposite column (as suggested by Lawrie Abbott).

- Connections and patchbay drag and drop feature is now bilateral;
  you can now drag and drop an item from right to left to establish
  the connection.


0.2.3a  2004-01-19  Time format combo-box tooltip fix.

- A qt-designer copy-paste leftover has been fixed; sloppy boy I am
  ;)


0.2.3  2004-01-19  Tenths, hundredths, milliseconds, whatever.

- Custom time format setup for all elapsed times, allowing the
  display of tenths, hundredths or even milliseconds instead of just
  hundredths of second for transport time code.


0.2.2  2004-01-16  Hundredths are back.

- Transport time is now shown with hundredths of second
  (hh:mm:ss.dd), as it was once before but not constant zero.

- Client start delay now configurable on setup; this may be of help
  for slow machines or unusual long server driver startups (e.g.
  portaudio).

- Client-only mode restart has been fixed.

- Messages color retouching.

- Popup menus memory leak fixed.


0.2.1  2003-12-29  The fix of fixes.

- Fixed jackstart/jackd command line parameter argument
  concatenation.

- Front panel status display font can now be customized.

- Some connection graph changes were being silently missed, now
  fixed.

- Messages window fallback fix; stdout handling has been retouched
  to be more line buffer oriented.


0.2.0  2003-12-12  ALSA sequencer patchbay entrance.

- ALSA sequencer subscription patchbay feature, complementing
  current audio service with a MIDI application connection graph,
  gracefuly included on the same front-end.

- Current preset name is shown on main window caption title. New
  button and form icons. Messages window blankness rendering fix.

- Immediate server startup option was made persistent and therefore
  remembered across sessions.

- Standard output/error stream capture setup option.


0.1.3  2003-11-26  Server settings profile/preset feature.

- Server setup settings can now be profiled, named and saved as
  presets. Command line preset name option and scripting argument
  meta-symbols are also featured for convenience (kindly suggested by
  Sampo Savolainen).

- New configure time argument debugging support (--enable-debug).


0.1.2  2003-11-16  More work in progress.

- Qmake project file (qjackctl.pro) now generated by configure
  (autoconf), introducing the explicit binding support to libqt-mt
  (multi-thread).

- Main window is not hinted as a dialog anymore, giving room to the
  minimize button on some other window managers; application close
  confirm warning is now an option.

- Removed deprecated settings options: temporary directory and ASIO
  mode; new available settings for the ALSA driver: force 16bit
  format, maximum input channels and output channels (as of JACK
0.90.x).

- Transport time display looses static hundredth seconds decimal
  digits.


0.1.1a  2003-11-01  Whatever happened to OK button icons.

- Restored missing OK button icons.


0.1.1  2003-10-29  Minor feature enhancements and bugfixes.

- Main window display items are now made fixed in width, at least
  those more prone to change frequently and thus caused some display
  jitter.

- Messages, status, connections and patchbay module windows are now
  reopened automagicaly on startup as they were on previous session.

- New patchbay definition snapshot option from current actual
  connections; current active patchbay filename status indication on
  title.

- New icons patchbay editor window and socket dialogs; own
  stdout/stdin is now properly captured and shown on messages log
  window.

- Fixed an obvious patchbay connection scan freezing bug; default
  .xml file extension enforcement on save.


0.1.0  2003-10-22  Major user interface redesign.

- Main application window complete redesign, now more like a
  multimedia/LCD control panel -- old main window dialog tabs are now
  splitted in separate pop-up windows/dialogs; big time display
  options. In other words, this sums up to a nice complete application
  rewrite.

- Deprecated options for forcing aRTs and jackd daemons are no
  longer available; this functionality can be officially superceded
  by the more generic startup/shutdown script options.

- Seamless support for externally started JACK server, providing a
  client-only mode of operation; if the JACK daemon is already
  started, qjackctl enters in client detached mode automagically.

- Messages window font is configurable and saved across sessions (by
  Jack O'Quin's humble request). Some colorization has been introduced
  on some event messages.

- Preliminary patchbay persistence feature is under way. A patchbay
  definition editor is already included, following an alternative
  socket-plug patchbay model that aliases and is a direct map to the
  client-port JACK connections model. The patchbay definitions are
  stored as text/xml files.

- New post-startup script option; immediate JACK server startup
  command line option (as suggested by Kasper Souren).


0.0.9a  2003-10-03  Tiny bugfixes.

- Startup/shutdown script options now correctly saved and restored.

- Dummy driver wait parameter is now properly set on startup.

- Confirmation warning on disconnecting all ports (as suggested by
  Robert Jonsson).


0.0.9  2003-09-25  Work in progress.

- New connection port item pixmaps that distinguishes physical from
  logical ports.

- History of most recently used values gets saved for some settings
  and options comboboxes widgets.

- New startup and shutdown script options, intended to supersede the
  mess of forcing artsd and jackd itself, in a near future ;) this
  way, one can also include the operation of the LADCCA daemon
  (following a suggestion from Kasper Souren).

- Connections command buttons are now shortly disabled after
  clicking, avoiding accidental duplicated connections.


0.0.8  2003-09-19  Preliminary transport and buffer size status control.

- Transport status and control introduced (requires JACK 0.80.0+);

- Statistics tab renamed to Status, where the transport state info
  and simple play/pause control buttons are now placed;

- Buffer size status is yet another item on the list view.


0.0.7  2003-09-15  Minor bugfixes.

- Inverse alphabetic ordering fixed on Connections port listing.

- Verbose option added; messages view font size fix; about Qt
  dialog; logo pixmap retouched.

- Configure script now checks for Qt 3.1.1 or greater.


0.0.6  2003-09-12  Drag-n-drop and more feature enhancements and bugfixes.

- Patchbay connection user interface handling has been fairly
  rewritten; (features new bugs while fixing old ones ;-)

- Reset XRUN statistics button added; reset time recorded on
  statistics; calculated latency is now shown on settings; ASIO mode
  disables Periods/Buffer setting (all suggestions by Lawrie Abbott).

- Context popup menu introduced for port connection handling;
  includes new command for disconnecting all currently connected
  ports.

- Closing the application while JACK is running, is now presented
  with a warning confirmation message (preventing accidental Esc key
  press? :).

- Patchbay port lists ordering are now more numerical-friendly than
  ever, taking account for sub-numbering port names (following yet
  another suggestion from Lawrie).

- Connection drag-and-drop is now featured after many, many
  requests.

- Corrected the configure script to properly recognize Qt 3.0.1 or
  greater.


0.0.5  2003-09-05  Minor feature enhancements and bugfixes.

- Internationalization support added; future qjackctl_${LANG}.qm
  translation files are located on ${prefix}/share/locale .

- New dummy and portaudio driver support (as of JACK release
0.80.0+).

- A couple of silent memory leak bugs have been corrected.


0.0.4  2003-08-29  Minor changes and bugfixes.

- The patchbay port lists are now sorted in a more numerical
  friendly manner (as suggested by Steve Harris); the sort code has
  been "borrowed" from qjackconnect, yet again.

- Patchbay port connection lines are now always visible, even if
  their respective connected port items aren't.

- Multiple simultaneous port connections can now be handled when a
  client application item is selected for connection/disconnection
  (again, suggested by Steve Harris), replicating and extending
  qjackconnect's similar behaviour.

- An auto-refresh option for the patchbay connections is now
  available, for those cases when client code just can't handle
  properly some callbacks.

- Window positioning and sizing is now almost persistent across
  sessions; as before, position is saved for the minimal view mode;
  but now, the details dialog view mode gets its position and size
  independantly saved also.


0.0.3  2003-08-07  Integrated visual patchbay.

- A patchbay for jack port connections is now integrated, much like
  the greatest Mathias Nagorni's qjackconnect
  (http://www.suse.de/~mana/jack.html).


0.0.2  2003-08-02  Client code features introduced.

- JACK library and header files are checked on configure.

- Server CPU load, sample rate and time elapsed since last XRUN
  detected, are now displayed on statistics.


0.0.1  2003-07-26  Initial release.
