[pulseaudio-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] PulseAudio 7.0 released

[Arun Raghavan]

Hi folks,
I just pushed out the PulseAudio 7.0 tag and tarballs, so come get them
while they're fresh! :)

This one's got some new features, a bunch of incremental changes, and
maybe a few bug fixes (we still have bugs?!):

  * LFE channel synthesis with low-pass filtering
  * New libsoxr based resamplers
  * Socket activation support for TCP
  * The "srbchannel" IPC mechanism enabled by default
  * More flexible jack detection support when using UCM
  * Exiting due to SIGTERM isn't considered a failure
  * Better support for Creative SoundBlaster Omni Surround 5.1

You can read all about these in more detail at:

  http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/7.0

The tarballs and checksum are at the usual place:

Tanu's been carrying a lot of the release load this time, so big thanks
to him. And, of course, to all our contributors from the shortlog
below, bugzilla, IRC, and real life!

Cheers,
Arun
