Hello there!

Here the first batch of the 'QStuff*': QjackCtl [1], Qsynth [2], 
Qsampler [3], QXGEdit [4], QmidiCtl [5] and QmidiNet [6], released for 
the (northern) End-of-Summer'23 season.

Enjoy while it's still hot.


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

   QjackCtl 0.9.12 (end-of-summer'23) is out!

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

Change-log:
- Setup: disable Settings parameters altogether, except frames/period 
(aka. buffer-size) if running in the so called 'Active' pure-client mode 
(eg. under PipeWire's pw-jack substitution).
- Connections: Fixed an old JACK client/ports aliases malfunction, 
hopefully.
- Graph: Ctrl+left or middle-button click-dragging for panning, is now a 
lot smoother, hopefully.
- Graph: Click-dragging with the mouse middle-button is now used for 
panning only, not to start a selection anymore.
- Preppings to next development cycle (Qt >= 6.6)

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

   QmidiCtl 0.9.11 (end-of-summer'23) 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.
