+
+## Highlights

+    crackling, xruns and possibly also some crashes in some cases.
+  - Fix freewheeling timeouts in case of xruns. This fixes ardour export.
+  - Fix event mixdown in JACK. Fixes qsynth and possibly other apps.
+  - Some more small fixes and improvements.
+
+
+## PipeWire
+  - Add a new SPA_IO_CLOCK_FLAG_XRUN_RECOVER flag when the process function
+    is called because of xrun recovery.
+  - Properly stop nodes in all cases, this avoids spurious xruns and
+    scheduling errors. (#4122)

+  - Signal the eventfd when the loop is full to make sure the other thread
+    is woken up to process the queue.
+
+## JACK
+  - Don't check timestamps when mixing down events. The timestamps are only
+    checked when writing new events with the public API. This fixes an
+    issue where qsynth would not receive midi events anymore.
+  - Fix the jack_get_time() function, it was returning nano instead of micro
+    seconds.
+
+# PipeWire 1.2.1 (2024-07-12)
+
+This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
+the previous 1.2.0 release and the 1.0.x releases.

+    when using KODI.
+  - Fix a regression in ardour export because of mishandling of sync groups.
+  - Fix a regression in KDE screen preview because of the new async
+    scheduling.
+  - Fix a regression in context.exec argument parsing that would break some
+    existing scripts.
+  - More small bug fixes and improvements.
+
+
