The FFADO project (https://ffado.org) announces the availability of FFADO
version 2.4.9.  This is a maintenance release which contains minor
improvements.

This is a source-only release that can be downloaded from

    https://ffado.org/files/libffado-2.4.9.tgz

Changes since FFADO 2.4.8:

* Support compilation against musl libc.  Thanks to Alyssa Ross.

* Remove build-time checks for utilities that are not used (pyuic).

* Install the ffado-mixer appdata file only if ffado-mixer has been built.
  Thanks to Jan Tojnar for the suggestion.

* Add a DATADIR option to scons and use it in line with GNU conventions.
  Thanks to Jan Tojnar for the suggestion and the patch.

* Update the AppStream document with more complete information and in line
  with current best practice (Jan Tojnar).

* Rename XDG files to match modern standards (Jan Tojnar).

* Install XDG files manually to simplify the build script and avoid
  depending on xdg-utils (Jan Tojnar).

Thanks to those who have helped with this release, including Alyssa Ross 
and Jan Tojnar.


Notes for packagers:

* A consequence of the DATADIR support is that the default MANDIR has
  shifted from `${PREFIX}/man/` to `${PREFIX}/share/man/`.  The latter is
  arguably more common, but if the original path must remain in use it is
  still possible to manually set MANDIR at build time.

* The presence of the DATADIR option may allow simplification of build
  commands or require minor build option adjustments depending on how
  FFADO is built.

* Aside from the manpage location, the introduction of DATADIR is not
  expected to change the path of any other installed files by default.
