- Update to version 0.3.77:
* Highlights
- Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of
samples was miscaluclated and resulted in xruns in some
cases.
- A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a
link between nodes even when the nodes can't see eachother.
- The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well.
- Many cleanups and small fixes.
* PipeWire
- Global objects now only show permissions that apply to them.
The permissions required to perform various API calls are
documented.
- A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a
link between nodes even when the nodes can't see eachother.
- Config files need to end with .conf.
- The client.api is added the to global properties of a node.
* modules
- The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well.
- Fix module-profiler alignment and make sure we don't overrun
our buffers with many nodes.
- Protect libcanberra calls with a mutex because it is not
thread safe.
* SPA
- Support older compilers for spa_clear_ptr().
- Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of
samples was miscaluclated and resulted in xruns.
- Don't set inotify on /dev but on the videoX devices directly.
Setting inotify on /dev would cause a lot of spurious wakeups
and lock contention in the fsnotify subsystem on some

- Update to version 0.3.76:
* Highlights
- Fix a regression that would cause the MPV pipewire backend
to fail because of a spurious thread-loop signal.
- Fix a crash when DBus is not found.
- ALSA hires timestamps are now disabled by default.
- Some more fixes and improvements.
* PipeWire
- A new option was added to pw-thread-loop to signal when the
thread starts.
- This is only used in module-rt to avoid regressions in mpv.
(#3374)
- Fix a compilation problem.
- Stream flags now only set the properties when not already
set. This fixes a regression with node autoconnect. (#3382)
* Tools
- pw-cat will now stop when the stream is disconnected. (#2731)
- Improve the pw-cat man page, mention that stdin/stdout
handling is only on raw data.
* modules
- module-rt will now not crash when dbus is not available but
error out as before.
- A new VBAN (vb-audio.com) sender and receiver was added.
(#3380)
* SPA
- Add an option in audioconvert to disable volume updates.

- Add code in the spec file to modify the patch file
reduce-meson-dependency.patch (used to build in SLE/Leap) so that
we don't need to rebase it manually for every version update.
- Use gcc 11 in SLE/Leap since gcc 9 fails to build 0.3.75 with

potential portal managed screencast nodes to link to the
camera even though it was not assigned permissions to do so
by the session manager.
- Permissions for links between nodes are now enforced. The
link will now check that the owner clients of the nodes can
see each other before allowing the link. This avoids
screensharing clients to accidentally being linked to the
camera nodes by the session manager. A side effect is that
patchbay tools will no longer be able to link portal managed
screencast nodes to the camera, for this we need a new
permission for those patchbay clients.
- The stream.rules/filter.rules are now evaluated when
connecting the stream/filter so that more properties can be
matched.
- Move some internal events from the context to the nodes to
better handle per-node threads in the future.
- Atomic operation macros were move from internal pipewire API
to public API.
SPA_VIDEO_FLAG_MODIFIER_FIXATION_REQUIRED flag to instruct
the application to fixate the modifiers. This simplifies some
logic in applications a lot.

- The thread-loop will now signal when the thread is started.
* modules
- A timestamp workaround in module-raop was reverted because it
does not work in all cases. Instead latency was increased to
1.5 seconds, which also makes the problematic device in
question work.
- The profiler module was reworked a bit to use the new node
realtime events. It should now also handle dynamically added
and removed drivers.
- The module-rt now does the rtkit calls from a separate thread
so that it does not block the main thread. This could cause
deadlocks during startup in some cases.
* SPA
- Atomic operation macros were move from internal pipewire API to
public API.

- The libcamera and v4l2 nodes now have properties to enumerate
the device id they are using. This can be used to match v4l2
devices and libcamera devices and filter out duplicates.

- 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.

- 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.
