[pulseaudio-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] PulseAudio 9.0 RC1

[Arun Raghavan]

Hi folks,
I'm pleased to announce that the first release candidate for PulseAudio
9.0 is out. There's a lot of changes that we'll have a detailed
changelog for before the final version is out, but the big ones include
memfd support (off by default), refinements to automatic switching to
HDMI outputs, improvements to our echo canceller (including the addition
of beamforming), and lots of other changes.

>From a packaging perspective, the one change to look out for is the
dependency bump to webrtc-audio-processing 0.2 for the webrtc echo
canceller, which breaks API w.r.t. version 0.1.

You can get the tarball from:
