[pulseaudio-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] PulseAudio 6.0 rc2 released!

[David Henningsson]

If you're been naughty this year, your chance to make it up for 
Christmas is to dutily test PulseAudio RC2 and report bugs (or 
successes!) accordingly.

If you've been nice this year, better not ruin it all by skipping your 
testing of PulseAudio RC2!

And if you don't celebrate Christmas at all, you could just spend your 
time testing PulseAudio RC2 instead...

Anyhow, compared to RC1, we have these fixes/changes:
  * Build system fixes for Debian/FreeBSD and mingw32
  * Some translation updates
  * Fixed A2DP profile not restored correctly
  * Configure fixes for bluez 5 native headset backend
  * Noise in the beginning of a recording (with srbchannel) fixed
  * Fixed a few memory safety issues
  * Added warnings for two unstable modules (module-equalizer-sink and 
module-dbus-protocol)
  * Enabled autospawn even when systemd socket activation is built in 
(see below)

Notes:

  * Using the new systemd socket activation for PulseAudio will cause 
PulseAudio to not have any connection with D-Bus, breaking device 
reservation protocol, module-jackdbus-detect and module-dbus-protocol. 
Therefore, autospawn is now still enabled by default even if you build 
with systemd daemon headers. To enable systemd activation, an end user 
or packager would now have to do two steps:
    - disable autospawn in /etc/pulse/client.conf
    - enable socket activation with "systemctl --global enable 
pulseaudio.socket"

  * extra-hdmi.conf, which was present in 5.0 and a few versions before 
that, has been merged with default.conf. The udev rule has been updated 
accordingly, but udev rules are typically only read at boot time, so in 
some cases your sound card might not to be detected. We suggest you do 
one of the following to fix this transitional problem:
    - Reboot your computer, or
    - Run "udevadm reload-rules" and then "udevadm trigger" (as root), or
    - Create a symlink from extra-hdmi.conf to default.conf.

Thanks to all contributors for making PulseAudio better!
