Greetings

Here goes the first bunch of 'QStuff*', QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2],
Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], all bumped to
**version 0.6.3** while on this (Northern) Summer'20 season.


** QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1] **

  QjackCtl 0.6.3 (summer'20) is out!

QjackCtl is a(n ageing yet modern, not so 'simple' anymore) Qt [7]
application to control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio
[12] infrastructure.

Change-log:
- Clock source and Self connect restriction options have been added to
Setup / Settings / Advanced (only enabled when JACK D-BUS control
interface is in effect).
- Added preliminary support for JACK CV signal-type ports and JACK OSC
event-type ports (Graph only).
- Left-clicking on the system-tray icon now simply toggles the main
widget visibility, disregarding if already hidden undercover to other
windows.
- Graph nodes and ports are now presented with some gradient background.
- Fixed Setup dialog Cancel (or close) behavior when Settings >
Parameters > Frames/Period (aka. buffer-size) it's the only setting
that's changed.
- Early fixing to build for Qt >= 5.15.0.

** QmidiCtl - A MIDI Remote Controller via UDP/IP Multicast [5] **

  QmidiCtl 0.6.3 (summer'20) is out!

QmidiCtl [5] is a MIDI remote controller application that sends MIDI
data over the network, using UDP/IP multicast. Inspired by multimidicast
[15] and designed to be compatible with ipMIDI [15] for Windows.
QmidiCtl [5] was long ago designed for the Maemo [17] enabled handheld
devices, namely the late Nokia N900 [18] and promoted to the Maemo
Package [18] repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl [5] may still be found
effective as a regular desktop application and recently as an Android
application as well.
