- Update to version 0.3.72:
* Highlights
- Fix a critical bug that would refuse to update the samplerate
or buffersize in JACK clients.
- A new module-netjack2-driver and module-netjack2-manager were
added that are compatible with NETJACK2. This allows PipeWire
to become a NETJACK2 manager or a driver between JACK2 or
PipeWire servers.
- Support was added for firewire devices with FFADO. This is
untested for now and MIDI is not implemented yet.
- The node scheduling was optimized some more. External drivers
are now as efficient as in-server ones. This should improve
performance of various drivers such as bluetooth and JACK
based drivers.
- Many, many bug fixes and a ton of improvements.
* PipeWire
- pw-filter can now be used to write sinks and sources.
- The node activation for drivers was changed. The driver now
does not need to go to the server to start the processing
cycle. This makes out-of-server drivers as efficient as
in-server drivers.
- Don't try to use drivers with 0 priority as fallback drivers.
This avoids making the screencast driver a driver for audio.
- Improve xrun count reporting in pw-top and the profiler. Now
each node has their own xrun counter updated when it fails to
complete processing during the cycle.
- pw-filter now also has support for TRIGGER.
- A potential fd leak was found when fds were send to a zombie
client.
- Fix a bug where monitor or capture streams were logged twice

- Update to version 0.3.71:
* Highlights
- A new zero-latency jackdbus bridge was added. This works
similar to what PulseAudio has to offer and creates a
sink/source when jackdbus is started. It is however much more
efficient and runs the complete PipeWire graph as a
synchronous JACK client with no added latency.
- Many performance improvements. Activation of remote nodes is
more efficient, fewer eventfds are required on the clients,
less callback overhead in performence critical paths and an
optimized poll function was added. This was mainly driven by
the jackdbus module to get the lowest possible overhead when
running the graph.
- The JACK notify callback implementation was reworked to
emulate better what JACK does, improving compatibility with
ardour7 and the JACK stress test.
- More work on BAP devices. Device latency is now passed on to
applications also for multi-device headsets, and channel
allocation is handled better.
- Many more improvements and bugfixes.
* PipeWire
- Remove the hardcoded limit on io_areas. This is used to link
nodes together and exchange buffers, it was limited to 2048
but now dynamically scales based on requirements.
- Rate and quantum changes are now applied correctly in more
cases. (#3159)
- Updates to client-node to more efficiently process the
driver.
- The profiler information was improved to be more accurate.
It should now work better for remote drivers.

- Update to version 0.3.70:
* Highlights:
- Fix a regression in the scheduler that could keep some nodes
IDLE.
- Fix a regression in the biquad filters in filter-chain.
- Fix a regression and potential crash in the ALSA mixer
probing.
- Fix a regression in pipewiresrc with timestamps that could
cause cheese to record video with wrong timestamps.
- Beamforming support was enabled in the echo-canceler.
- pulse-tunnel and raop-sink will now proxy local volume
changes to the remote end.
- More bugfixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- Fix a bug in the graph scheduler where some nodes might stay
IDLE in some cases (like when connecting the source of the
echo-canceler to the sink).
- pw-metadata can now be created from the factory with initial
values for the metadata. (#3076)
- Conditions were added to the pipewire config file to make it
possible to configure the access module and the exec sections.
- Support was added in pw-stream to intercept and override
properties for the adapter. This can be used to implement
custom volume control, for example.
* Tools
- pw-metadata can now list all available metadata objects with
the -l option.
- A new pw-config tool was added to debug configuration file
loading and parsing.
* Modules

- Update to version 0.3.64:
* Highlights
- Clear old buffer memory on ports to fix some SIGBUS errors.
- It is now possible to assign custom port names to the ports
from an adapter. This feature is helpful to those who use a
multichannel interface with long-term connections. This way
they can label each port with its designation, such as an
instrument name or anything else to be displayed in a
patchbay or DAW.
- Fix some issues with node suspend and quantum and rate
calculations.
- Fix some regressions in pulse-tunnel and RTP-source adaptive
resampling that could cause synchronization problems.
- UCM devices now also have a Pro Audio profile.
- NODE_TARGET (with the object.id) is now deprecated, use
TARGET_OBJECT (with the object.serial, which is not reused
and can avoid races).
* PipeWire
- Clear all peer input port buffers when suspending. This fixes
some SIGBUS errors when some plugins were using old memory.
(#2914)
- Fix a case where nodes that were not supposed to be
suspended, were kept suspended on a rate change. (#2929)
- Fix an error in the quantum and rate calculations that could
cause nodes to run with wrong quantum and rates when multiple
rates were allowed. (#2925)
* Tools
- pw-dump will now sort dictionaries to make it easier to
compare different outputs.
- Improve output of pw-reserve.

- Refresh reduce-meson-dependency.patch
- Update to version 0.3.62:
* Highlights
- A regression in screensharing was fixed. It was caused by a race when
activating links and driver nodes.
- Video transform metadata was added so that cameras and screen sharing
can report the video orientation and transformations.
- Support for the PulseAudio module-gsettings was added to make paprefs
work.
- Support for bluetooth offloading was added. This allows for the bluetooth
reception, decoding and playback to happen completely in hardware.
This also requires some support in WirePlumber.
- Many bugfixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- More work on stopping nodes in a more controlled way.
- Fix a race in starting nodes and drivers. In some cases the driver
node would already be started while the link to the peer node was not
ready yet. This caused regressions in screen sharing. The driver is
now only started after all the followers and links completed.
- Fix a case where a slow capture stream would not recycle buffers
anymore and stall. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2874)
- Fix a subtle bug in pw_loop_invoke that could cause callbacks to be
delayed and cause crashes in some cases.
- Fix a case where IPC was done from the data-thread and could cause
crashes.
* Tools
- Silence some expected errors in the pw-top output.
* modules
- The filter-chain has seen some optimizations in the copy plugin and
the convolver.
- The zeroconf plugin will now only unpublish services from the server
that was removed.
- Fix a potential crash when stopping pw-loopback.
- Some harmless errors were turned into info messages.
- Fix some cases where pw_stream methods were called from the data-thread
that could cause segfaults. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2633)
* SPA
- There is now a video transform metadata that indicates how a video
frame was transformed (rotated/flipped). libcamera and the GStreamer
elements now have support for this metadata.
- The SPA volume plugin is now disabled from the default build.
- Handle missing control info in libcamera.
- Handle errors from loop better, don't call the callbacks on errors.
- Somewhat improve performance in some audioconvert AVX2 code for format
conversion.
- Fix PortConfig and EnumPortConfig params in audioconvert and
audioadapter to reflect what is actually going on instead of using
hardcoded values.
- Pass ignore-dB property correctly in all cases.
- Probing is now done in 48KHz again. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2857)
* Pulse-server
- IPv4 addresses are now added first to the list and exposed first with
zeroconf discover.
- module-gsettings was added to make paprefs work.
- The pulse.idle.timeout option was disabled by default and only enabled
for selected apps (speech-dispatcher) because it caused some problems
for other apps. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2880)
* JACK
- Only process valid ports. Could fix some crashes. (glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2863)
* Bluetooth
- Support was added for offloading bluetooth handling. Some hardware can
receive, decode and play the bluetooth audio directly in hardware.

correctly.
- JAVA sound applications will now alsa work with the
pulseaudio-alsa plugin.
- pw-top will now show the negotiated formats of devices
and streams.
- Fix some potential crashes when starting streams.
- The ALSA plugin has had improved timing reporting and poll
descriptor handling that should improve compatibility.
- Many more improvements and bugfixes.
* PipeWire
- Avoid scheduling nodes before they are added to the graph.
This could avoid some crashes when scheduling nodes that
were not completely started yet. (#2677)
* Tools
- pw-top now also shows the negotiated formats of streams and
devices. (#2566)
- pw-top prints microseconds as "us" now to avoid unicode
problems.
* Modules
- Fix compilation with newer lv2.
- Fix setting realtime priority with RTKit, it was not setting
rlimit correctly and RTKit would refuse to change the
priority.
- Fix some playback problems with RAOP sink. (#2673)
- Filter chain will now warn when a non-existing control
property is used in the config file. (#2685)

* Highlights
- Sample rate switching should work again.
- pw-dot can now use the output of pw-dump to render a graph.
- Bluetooth A2DP streaming was improved that would reduce
stuttering on some devices.
- A JACK bug was fixed that would sometimes make it impossible
to add more tracks in Ardour. (#1714)
- Many bugfixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- Fix a potential crash when NULL params were configured.
- Add some simple functional tests to avoid some recent
regressions. Improve the test framework for this as well.
- Improvements to the poll loop to avoid some use-after-free
scenarios.
- Fix samplerate switching again.
- setlocale is not called anymore from the pipewire library.
This should be called by the application. (#2223)
- pw_init() and pw_deinit() can now be nested and called
multiple times.
- pw_stream will now report the resampler delay in the
pw_time.queued field.

and will use property hints to assign them the right type.
- The ROC modules now accept a sink/source_properties
parameter.
- The module-rt can now also be built without RT-Kit support.
- module-echo-cancel can now use a fraction to specify the
delay for more precise control.

- Update to version 0.3.46:
* Highlights:
- Fix a critical bug in pipewire-pulse buffer size handling
that made some apps (MuseScore, ... ) stutter.
- Fix a critical bug where devices would not show when the
kernel was compiled without VERBOSE_PROCSFS.
- JACK clients will now use lock-quantum by default. This
makes sure that all dynamic quantum changes are disabled
while a JACK app is running. The only way to force a
quantum chance is through a JACK app or with the metadata.
- Almost all limits on number of ports, clients and nodes are
removed.
- A Dummy fallback sink is now automatically created when
there are no other sinks. This avoids stalling browsers.
- Sound sharing with Zoom should work better. A new WirePlumber
release might be required.
- Many more fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- Update docs with new config overrides.
- The rule matching logic was moved to config and code is now
shared with pulse-server and JACK.
- Add new Romanian translation.
- When a quantum is forced with metadata, any node that asked
to lock-quantum is ignored so that the quantum change can
happen.
- Fix a bug where a mixer was removed twice, leading to
potential memory corruption.
- The port limits on nodes and filters are now removed.
Some code was simplified.
- Fix a potential leak because listeners where removed while

* Highlights
- Zoom, telegram and other apps should be able to play sound
again.
- Implement a better way to force and lock JACK buffersize.
- Default sink and source names and properties are improved.
- The config loader can now load and merge fragments in conf.d
directories for easier user configuration of config files.
- Many small bug fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- pw-cli can now also send Commands to nodes. This can be used
to Suspend a device, for example.
- The eventfd was removed from loops and invoke is now used to
stop the loop, this saves an fd.
- New Alpine CI target to test musl builds, various build
fixes.
- Add force-quantum and force-rate properties.
- The config loader can now load and merge fragments in conf.d
directories. (#207)
