Higher + quality formats with higher performance are chosen first. + * Make sure the time reported by pw_stream is always increasing, + even when the driver and clock changes. + * There is now also a system service and socket that can be used + to enable PipeWire systemwide. This is however not recommended + and disabled by default. + * Fix channelmixer 5.1 to stereo mix matrix. It was not reading + the conversion matrix correctly and cause channels to be + dropped. The channelmixer will now also normalize the volume, + like what pulseaudio does. + * The channelmixer will now just copy channels when no layout + has been given. It has also optimized paths for this. This + makes it possible for apps to request > 8 channels from the + alsa plugin (ardour). + * Port, Node and Link will now also emit an error on the + resources in addition to updating the error in the info. This + would make it easier to track negotiation errors in the session + manager later. + * many small fixes and cleanups. + * Fix compatibility: + + DOSBox: fix crash because of double free in pw_stream + +- Session manager improvements + * The session manager will now try to configure the client to + the channel configuration of the sink/source. It will only + do this for downmixing, never for upmixing and also never + when the client has the dont-remix property set. It will + also renegotiate the channel layout when moving a stream to + a new sink/source. + * Configuration state is now saved in XDG_CONFIG_HOME. + Previously it was saved in $HOME/.pipewire-media-session/ + You can migrate the state by moving the files to + $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pipewire-media-session (or + $HOME/.config/pipewire-media-session as a fallback when + XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not set). + +- Device support + * Bluetooth sources and sinks should work better now. + * There is now also a new bluetooth backend using hsphfpd. + * fix the ALSA UCM Off profile for alsa pcm devices + * improve ALSA port and profile switching. The ACP device will + now switch to the best port and profile when availability + changes. + +- PulseAudio layer improvements + * Implement some more callbacks. The pulse layer will now also + notify applications of stream moved, started and latency + changes. + * Fix error code when an object was not found. We now return + PA_ERR_NOENTITY instead of PA_ERR_INVALID. + * Add some support for loading new null sinks. Applications such + as pulseeffects use this. Note that pulseeffects does not yet + work reliably but can start now. + * Improve handling of profile and port updates, it should work + much more reliable now. Apps should now also again receive + volume updates from sinks/sources. + * Fix compatibility: + + openal-soft 1.20 + + pavucontrol (checks PA_ERR_NOENTITY) + +- JACK layer improvements + * improve default source and sink handling. It was not updated + correctly in all cases. + * add samplerate and period to the pw-jack wrapper to easily + configure the desired samplerate and perdiod for the app. + +- ALSA plugin improvements + * Add a mixer entry in the alsa config file. + * Implement support for planar types, rework the processing + function to make it more robust. + * refuse to load the alsa plugin when linked against 0.2.
