Subject: [linux-audio-user] JACK 0.50 released


                   Jack Audio Connection Kit 0.50.0 Released
                                       
   The Jack team is pleased to announce the release of version
0.50.0 of
   the Jack low-latency audio server. Jack allows applications to
share
   data and audio devices in synchronous operation, and has already
seen
   a year of hard testing and refinement. The API has stabilized for

   the foreseeable future, although backwards compatibility is not
   guaranteed.
   More information on Jack is available at the group's web site, 
   [1]http://jackit.sourceforge.net/.
   
   Source packages for Jack 0.50.0 are available [2]here.
   
What's new:

   * Audio block sizes are fixed during runtime so clients can have
more
     efficient algorithms.
   * No partial blocks will be delivered.  Again for efficient
client
     algorithms.
   * Thread scheduling hidden from clients for better portability.
   * Cleanly compiles with gcc-3.3.
   * Works on 64-bit platforms
   
   Work is ongoing to improve transport control. 
   
   Developers and users interested in Jack should sign up to
   [4]jackit-devel, our mailing list.
