[pulseaudio-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] pavucontrol 4.0

[Tanu Kaskinen]

It's announcement time!

It's been a while, a long while, since the last pavucontrol release.
Almost four years, says the thing that counts time. Today we can reset
that thing! Pavucontrol 4.0 is here! Woo!

These are the main changes:

 * There can now be only one pavucontrol window open at a time.
   Trying to start pavucontrol for a second time brings the
   first window to foreground.

 * Added a "Show volume meters" checkbox to the Configuration
   tab. Disabling the volume meters reduces CPU use.

 * Improved the use of space (removed useless margins and
   paddings).

 * A more appropriate icon for the channel lock button.

 * Better channel label layout, prevents volume sliders from
   getting unaligned.

 * Maximum latency offset increased from 2 to 5 seconds to
   accommodate AirPlay devices that often have higher latency
   than 2 seconds (this is not that useful on newer PulseAudio
   versions, though, because the latency is reported much more
   accurately than before).

 * New --version command line option.

 * New translations: Chinese (Taiwan), Croatian, Korean,
   Norwegian Nynorsk, Lithuanian, Valencian.

 * Updated translations: Finnish, French, German, Italian,
   Japanese, Polish, Swedish.

 * Dropped support for GTK 2.

 * Bumped the minimum supported libpulse version to 5.0.

 * Improved compatibility with newer Glade versions.

Big thanks to all contributors!
