[pulseaudio-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] PulseAudio 8.0 RC1

[Arun Raghavan]

Hi folks,
As promised, master has been frozen for the 8.0 release. I've rolled
out the RC1 tarball (7.99.1, as usual). Please test and file bugs if
you see regressions. Get it at:

http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-7.99.1.tar.xz
MD5: 257bf53e4cb00227d7d1abb964655c7c
SHA1: e5ad51227c4833e7c1955683fd4cf9ec7f4bf8df

In addition to the usual set of bug fixes and misc improvements,
interesting changes include a new balance-based volume API, routing
improvements, and .d directory support.

>From a packaging perspective, the last bit is likely interesting (you
can ship distro config as separate files instead of mucking about with
the current file in /etc/pulse). Also of note is the move of
libpulsecore out of libdir since it's a private library.

We'll have a detailed changelog with the final release, of course.

Cheers!
Arun
