# Changelog For details and minor changes, please see the [version control log messages](https://github.com/SpotlightKid/jack-matchmaker/commits/master). ## 2023-06-30 version 0.11.0 Changes: - Modernized project setup (#23). - Converted to PEP-517 compliant build using [hatchling]. - Removed Python 2 compatibility code and syntax. - Converted readme and changelog to markdown format. - Updated Arch `PKGBUILD` file. - Dropped official support for Python 3.6/3.7 and declared support for Python 3.10/3.11. Incremented the minor version accordingly. - Replaced included `jacklib` module with dependency on [pyjacklib] (#24). - Added dependency on [cachetools]. Enhancements: - Added monitoring of input ports (#20, thanks to Peter Fabinski). - Evaluate connection patterns when new connections (not made by jack-matchmaker) appear, allowing pattern pairs, where the first part matches input ports, to trigger when new connections to these input ports are made (#22). [cachetools]: https://github.com/tkem/cachetools/ [hatchling]: https://hatch.pypa.io/ [pyjacklib]: https://github.com/jackaudio/pyjacklib ## 2021-04-15 version 0.10.0 Enhancement: - Added support for filtering against port name patterns when listing connections with option `-c`. ## 2021-01-15 version 0.9.0 Changes: - Dropped official support for Python 3.5 and declared support for Python 3.9. Incremented the minor version accordingly. Enhancement: - Added support for the `reload` action to the jack-matchmaker systemd service, which triggers re-reading of the pattern file (thanks to BlueMax). ## 2020-08-05 version 0.8.2 Changes: - Max. connection attempt is always set to 1 when any of the `-c`, `-i` or `-o` options are used. Enhancement: - Log JACK client name after connection (if verbosity is `DEBUG`). - Only log connection error traceback when verbosity is `DEBUG`. - Improve warning logging of non-fatal connection error status. Fixes: - Correctly check for valid JACK client when connecting (thanks to Filipe Coelho for reporting). ## 2020-08-05 version 0.8.1 Fixes: - Fixed not connecting to JACK when an instance of jack-matchmaker was already running and no unique JACK client name set (#11, thanks to Nils Hilbricht for reporting). ## 2020-01-19 version 0.8.0 Changes: - Removed Python 3.4 support, added 3.8. Enhancements: - Added optional systemd unit along with environment file (thanks to Térence Clastres). - Added Arch Linux `PKGBUILD` file. - Added `--verbosity` command line option for setting a specific log level (thanks to Térence Clastres). Fixes: - Added graceful handling of `Ctrl-C` when connecting. - Added handling of error reading pattern file on startup. - Changed `__main__.py` to import from the package it is in. - Fixed wrong argument name of `jacklib.remove_client_property`. ## 2019-05-13 version 0.7.1 Fixes: - Fix incompatibility with Python \< 3.7, due to use of `re.Pattern` and `re.Match`, which were only added in Python 3.7. Python 3.4 is still supported, but will be dropped in next major release. ## 2019-04-15 version 0.7.0 New features: - Added support for listing and matching port [meta data] pretty-names (supported only with JACK1 or JACK2 >= 1.9.13). - Added command line option `-e`, `--exact-matching` for exact port name matching mode. - Added command line option `-N`, `--client-name` to set JACK client name. Enhancements: - Expanded documentation in [README] to explain pattern matching and match group substitution and with more and better examples. - Added badge images & links to [README]. - Improved handling of port name decoding. - Added a couple of example scripts for `jacklib` usage to repo. - Updated Python versions in `setup.py` classifiers. Fixes: - Re-compile input port pattern for each output port as it may have changed due to match group substitution. - Fixed probable memory leak from not freeing `jack_get_ports` results. - Fixed wrong return type of JACK port rename callback function declaration. - Removed unused `alsainfo` module. [meta data]: https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/JACK-Metadata-API ## 2017-10-17 version 0.6.0 - Automatically tries to re-connect to JACK if the server not available on start-up or shuts down while `jack-matchmaker` is running. - Added sections to [README] on installation, license and jack server connection. ## 2016-11-05 version 0.5.0 - Reorganized command line options: `-l`, `--list-ports` was replaced by `-o`/`--list-outputs` and `-i`, `--list-inputs`, which can be given on their own or together and in combination with the `-a`, `--list-aliases` option. - Removed prefixes and separators from port and connection listings (so the output can be more easily parsed in shell scripts or the output of `jack-matchmaker -c` can be piped into a file and directly used with the `-p`, `--pattern-file` option). - Added `--version` command line option. - Excluded currently unused `alsainfo` module from distribution. - Re-formatted some code for PEP-8 conformity. ## 2016-11-04 version 0.4.0 - Added support for -c command line option to list existing JACK port connections. ## 2016-11-04 version 0.3.0 - Added command line option to read port patterns from file. - Re-read pattern file on HUP signal (not supported on Windows). - Check if ports are already connected before making a connection. - Cache port look-ups. - List outputs before inputs. - Changed amount and formatting of debug logging output. - Added example patterns file. - Updated [README] with new features. ## 2016-11-04 version 0.2.1 - Fixed missing exception variable binding. - Moved package version from `setup.py` to new `version` module. - Minor [README] improvements. ## 2016-11-04 version 0.2.0 - Added command line options to list ports and aliases. - Input port patters can contain placeholders which are filled in with matches from named regular expression groups in output port patterns. - Call on-connection callback once at startup to connect existing clients. - Updated and improve [README]. - Improved error handling. ## 2016-11-04 version 0.1.0 First public release.
