Re: [Csnd-dev] [EXTERNAL] [Csnd-dev] Csound 7 beta11 MacOS, jack

thanks for explaining, and thanks to tarmo trying to include this in the 
next csoundqt 7 beta release.
would it not be time now to release csound 7.0.0?  it was planned for 
december, and although fixes continue, i think those are not substantial?
if so, we will have jack included. and users can download and install in 
the normal way.
as far as i can tell from using csound 7 beta all the time, we are 
really good to go now.
