Changelog: 0.5.13: Additions & Enhancements: - Added internal filter graph support for audio nodes, allowing users to create audio preprocessing and postprocessing chains without exposing filters to applications, useful for software DSP - Added new Lua Properties API that significantly improves performance by avoiding constant serialization between WpProperties and Lua tables, resulting in approximately 40% faster node linking - Added WpIterator Lua API for more efficient parameter enumeration - Added bash completions for wpctl command - Added script to find suitable volume control when using role-based policy, allowing volume sliders to automatically adjust the volume of the currently active role (e.g., ringing, call, media) - Added experimental HDMI channel detection setting to use HDMI ELD information for channel configuration - Enhanced role-based policy to allow setting preferred target sinks for media role loopbacks via policy.role-based.preferred-target - Enhanced Bluetooth profile autoswitch logic to be more robust and handle saved profiles correctly, including support for loopback sink nodes - Enhanced ALSA monitor to include alsa.* device properties on nodes for rule matching - Optimized stream node linking for common cases to reduce latency when new audio/video streams are added - Improved event dispatcher performance by using hash table registration for event hooks, eliminating performance degradation as more hooks are registered - Increased audio headroom for VMware and VirtualBox virtual machines - Added setting to prevent restoring "Off" profiles via session.dont-restore-off-profile property - Added support for 128 audio channels when compiled with a recent version of PipeWire Fixes: - Fixed memory leaks and issues in the modem manager module - Fixed MPRIS module incorrectly treating GHashTable as GObject - Fixed warning messages when process files in /proc/<pid>/* don't exist, particularly when processes are removed quickly - Fixed MONO audio configuration to only apply to device sink nodes, allowing multi-channel mixing in the graph - Fixed event dispatcher hook registration and removal to avoid spurious errors - Improved logging for standard-link activation failures - Simplified event-hook interest matching for better performance 0.5.12: Additions & Enhancements: - Added mono audio configuration support via node.features.audio.mono setting that can be changed at runtime with wpctl - Added automatic muting of ALSA devices when a running node is removed, helping prevent loud audio on speakers when headsets are unplugged - Added notifications API module for sending system notifications - Added comprehensive wpctl man page and documentation - Enhanced object interest handling for PipeWire properties on session items Fixes: - Fixed race condition during shutdown in the permissions portal module that could cause crashes in GDBus signal handling - Added device validity check in state-routes handling to prevent issues when devices are removed during async operations - Fixed Log.critical undefined function error in device-info-cache - Improved device hook documentation and configuration Signed-off-by: Gyorgy Sarvari <skandigraun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com>

Send pull requests to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org with '[meta-multimedia]' in the subject
When sending single patches, please use something like: git send-email -M -1 --to openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org --subject-prefix='meta-multimedia][PATCH'
You are encouraged to fork the mirror on github https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded to share your patches, this is preferred for patch sets consisting of more than one patch. Other services like GitLab, repo.or.cz or self hosted setups are of course accepted as well, 'git fetch ' works the same on all of them. We recommend github because it is free, easy to use, has been proven to be reliable and has a really good web GUI.
