[pulseaudio-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] PulseAudio 13.99.2

[Arun Raghavan]

Hey everyone,
It's been a long wait, but I've finally pushed out the PulseAudio 13.99.2 (aka 14.0 RC2) release tarballs.

tarball: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-13.99.2.tar.xz

The plan is to merge some minor pending stuff and roll out 14.0 soon. There are some more fixes for newer ALSA SoF-based devices using using UCM, but those might take a bit longer and will ship in 14.1.

Full release notes are work-in-progress, but this one has a new availability group mechanism to help UIs identify ports associated with the same jacks, a bunch of UCM-related changes, plus fixes for RAOP, the GStreamer RTP backend, Creative Audigy cards.

Distributions shipping GNOME should consider the "stream-restore-clear-old-devices" option in autotools/meson (see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/merge_requests/298).

Please package, test and help us get a stable 14.0 out the door soon!

Cheers,
Arun
