'''pipewire-0.3.1'''
I'm starting with this package first because I know that it may cause
problems with Plasma.
From what I gather, it may have a few new libraries and programs. We shall
see!
{{{
PipeWire 0.3.1
This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible
with previous 0.3.x releases.
- Don't load the rtkit module by default. It can cause a
sigkill, which is not desirable for mutter, for example.
Only enable this for the jack library for now.
- Don't use pthread cancel by default because it uses a
signal that might crash some apps. Only use it for
the jack library because jack clients really expect this.
- Build fixes for -Werror=suggest-attribute=format
- improve error messages, don't report harmless errors and
warnings. Try to send error messages to the proxy that
started the operation or is the owner of the object.
- pw-cat: midi improvement, add midi recording and dump
in verbose mode
- fix properties when loading spa-nodes from the config
- Fix and update some examples
- jack: check arguments and don't crash when invalid
- Fix buffer memory upload.
- jack: fix compatibility with zrythm. Fix timemaster
install, improve sample_rate callback. Fix reposition
handling.
- fix crash in port after buffer negotiation error.
- add support for control ports in pw_filter
- fix cleanup of the metadata module
- improve param enumeration.
- Clear stream buffers when the format is cleared.
- Add create-object command in the config file to create
object from a factory.
- Fix crash after the driver was not removed from unassigned
nodes. Also properly pause inactive nodes.
- Use "true" and "false" in properties when we are talking
about a boolean.
- pulseaudio: improve compatibility
Older versions:
PipeWire 0.3.0
The 0.3 release is a major milestone in the developement of
PipeWire. It features a complete redesign of the scheduling
mechanisms that make it possible to run a JACK compatibility
layer with comparable performance to JACK2.
The API has been reworked and is declared stable now. All
developement files and runtime paths are versioned so that
future incompatible changes can be done without breaking
exising applications.
PipeWire 0.3 also includes a (now mandatory) session manager
that populates and controls the PipeWire graph. This example
session manager is very simple and not configurable. It is
expected that future version will either switch to a more
flexible session manager (like WirePlumber) or improve the
configuration options of the example session manager.
PipeWire 0.3 includes both PulseAudio, JACK and ALSA
compatibility libraries that are known to support a wide range
of applications. The ALSA library is pretty complete at this
point. The JACK and mostly the PulseAudio compatibility
libraries need more work. See the Wiki pages for the current
compatibility problems. We do not yet encourage people to
switch away from their existing audio solutions (PulseAudio
or JACK) but we would love to hear from people who try it
anyways. Future versions will mostly focus on improving
compatibility further to make PipeWire a drop-in replacement.
PipeWire comes with some GStreamer plugins to consume and
produce data for PipeWire. The consumer (pipewiresrc) is
working well in most cases. The sink (pipewiresink) is known
to be somewhat problematic for now.
PipeWire 0.2.97
Eigth pre-release for upcomming 0.3:
- Build fixes
- pw-cat improvement: Fix remote name, add midi support
- add device subscribe params for completeness
- jack and pulseaudio compatibility fixes
- Fix a bug in resampler, add quality option, tweaked quality
settings, tested now against https://src.infinitewave.ca/
testsignals and submitted results for publication.
- Fix awkwardness in buffer negotiations, the default number of
buffers was 4 and jack could only handle 2, causing
corruption. Also implement negotiation of Step ranges.
- Fix device reservation to work together with pulseaudio,
previously we would block pulseaudio.
PipeWire 0.2.96
Seventh pre-release for upcomming 0.3:
- jack: improve compatibility
- Fix unit test
- Fix license of jack and alsa libs
- Make start/stop more threadsafe
- Fix rt-kit again, add params to configure things, increase default
soft/hard limits to avoid being killed.
- version 0 compatibility improvements, tested with firefox, cheese,
GStreamer and chrome using compat layers.
- Fix timing for gstreamer source
- Require libspa in pkg-config file
- Limit buffers to 16 to support old clients
PipeWire 0.2.95
Sixth pre-release for upcomming 0.3:
- Fix tests for big endian some more
- Improve v2 compatibility mode: improve type negotiation and
update_permissions
- Workaround for firefox screen sharing
PipeWire 0.2.94
Fifth pre-release for upcomming 0.3:
- Fix man page names
- Fix jack set_sync_timeout
- Improve JACK compatibility with apps that cache buffer pointers.
- Improve mlock failure warning message, add property to configure
if mlock should be used.
- Improve OBJECT_PATH in alsa objects
- Install in versioned directory
- Add pw-profiler tool
- Improve pulseaudio compatibility wrt pa_operations
- Thread safety fixes in remote nodes when activating/deactivating
- Improve JACK names on duplicates
- Add option to ignore failure when loading modules
PipeWire 0.2.93
Fourth pre-release for upcomming 0.3:
- Fix unit tests on 32 bits
- Append -pw version to pulse and jack libs. This way we can install
it next to the real libraries and use a symlink to enable it.
- Improve jack support by killing threads with pthread_cancel. This
then also remove the eventfd from the data-loop, making it
maybe a little faster.
- Fix jack_client_close() compatibility
- Fix some segfaults in the session manager
- Improve debug of protocol messages
- Add examples options
- Don't fail when alsa is not found
- Fix some compiler warnings with a new spa_aprintf() helper.
- Add pw-cat, the simple audio playback/record tool
- Rename pipewire tools to pw- prefix
- Add improve pw-cli object dump feature
PipeWire 0.2.92
Third pre-release for upcomming 0.3:
- Improve old version check some more
- Fix unit tests on little/big endian
- Fix compilation when CPU has no optimisations
- Install jack and pulse libraries
- Handle -EACCESS in flatpack access module
PipeWire 0.2.91
It is mostly a bugfix release to make the new version install and
run correctly in distros.
- Install session manager, fix path to find the session manager
- Fix alsa buffer reuse
- Small fixes for crasher bugs
- Implement pw_core_set_paused() to suspend/resume even
processing. This can be used when using multiple connections
to a daemon and one needs to pause one connection until the
other one completes an action. Used by session managers.
- Improve old version check
PipeWire 0.2.90
This is the first pre-release of the 0.3 version. It consists of a
major rewrite and is not API or ABI compatible with the 0.2
branch.
