VERSION 0.6.0
-------------

Now requires qt5 instead of qt4; user experience should be
unchanged (hopefully!) Nick/.


VERSION 0.5.2
-------------

= 0.5.1 with a few minor memory leaks plugged.
- added import of os.environ to make nix-packaging possible

VERSION 0.5.1
-------------
More new features from Nick. This is also a 0.6.0 release
candidate.

Added File->Rename Inputs... and File->Rename Outputs... which
changes the labels on the GUI, the channel's position and Jack
connection name while preserving volume levels etc.

There is a video describing the use and motivation behind
developing JackMix on Vimeo. See

VERSION 0.5.0
-------------

New features this version (added by Nick):

The right-click on the matrix can be a bit fiddly to pop up the
context menu instead of the knob setting spinbox, so the following
shortcuts are now available:

* Toggle element selection with Shift-Mouse1
* Replace selected elements with Ctrl-Shift-Mouse1 in the upper-
  left-most selected element

MIDI control of the mixer is now available. You can route signals
from a MIDI control surface to JackMix: it appears as "JackMix" in
the ALSA MIDI tab of QJackControl, for example. Each element now has
an extra context menu entry: "Assign MIDI Parameter". Use should be
self-evident.

Points to note:

 * You can't unassign a midi parameter -- it can be set to
   0 though (my control surface doesn't have controller 0;
   some may I suppose).

 * MIDI control parameter numbers are saved in the xml file
   generated by File->Save File... menu action, but this means
   there are extra XML attributes which might upset older versions
   of JackMix. I've not tested this, but it might cause problems
   if you aren't aware of the extra functionality.
