Make sure socket names are unique on each side of the Patchbay (another patch from Dominic Sacre, thanks).
A bunch of primitive D-Bus interface slots have been added, allowing shortcut access to most of main applications actions like toggling Messages, Status, Connections, Patchbay widget pop-ups, reset stats, transport and so on. New bindings are given eg. via
Patchbay snapshot now tolerates JACK client port strings that have more than one semi-colon in it, honoring just the first one exactly as everywhere else eg. Connections. (a glitch as reported by Geoff Beasley while using
Most modal message dialog boxes (eg. critical errors) are now replaced by system tray icon bubble messages where available (mitigating feature request #2936455).
Comply with jackd >= 0.118.0 which now runs in real-time mode by default; use of
A man page has beed added.
Got rid of a pretty old and never really useful "jackd-realtime" server path option--actually, it was only seen available on the now defunct old Mandrake Linux distro.
D-Bus support, as provided by
Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to disk when Setup dialog changes are accepted and applied.
Server name command line option added (
Single application instance restriction option added (X11).
Setup for the netjack (slave) "net" driver has now sample-rate and frames per buffer (period size) settings disabled and/or ignored, as those are pretty much auto-detected by default; also, a new "netone" backend driver option has been introduced (as suggested by Torben Hohn).
Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
Fixed some main window keyboard shortcuts. Escape key now closes Connections, Patchbay, Status and Messages widgets as usual (bug #2871548).
Fixed glitch on configure portaudio support, specially when the library is not detected as available.
Awe! Times they are a-changing although Bob Dylan has no D-Business here. The old and cutie gooey for JACK just got one turn around the verge of bit-rotting. This time it brings full JACK D-Bus support, or almost. It also adds D-Bus access for most GUI actions which some might find pretty handy for keyboard shortcut binding from your desktop environment of choice. 
However, if babies health is your top concern you can just turn this D-Bus thing off and play with the Old times ;) Ahem...

Detected bad line in russian translation file.
At the "translations/qjackctl_ru.ts", string 1550:
"alsa" is translated to "ALSA"
This mismatch broke QJackCtl to use alsa driver after other one used (net, netone,...).
It seems there was russian humor... or experiment???
Re: Detected bad line in russian translation file.
Please, report to the russian translator (see TRANSLATORS file).
Cheers
Um, no :)
That should be reported to developer who made localizable things that should not be localizable ;)
Seriously, if it can be broken, then it will be broken :) It's just a matter of time.
Um, wha?
I'm watching you Alex >:)
Thanks for information.
Thanks for information.
Perhaps a bug??
Using latest version from Debian Sid repository, I'm trying to use pre/post script feature tu integrate pulseaudio into jack. When I simply use the Start/Stop button from gui every script stage is nicely esecuted:
Execute script on Startup
Execute script after Startup
..starting the server
Execute script on Shutdown
Execute script after Shutdown
..stopping the server
Rather when I quit the app the 'Execute script after Shutdown' is not executed :-(
Can someone confirm this behaviour??
Re: Perhaps a bug??
What script is this you wish to run after (jackd) shutdown and which version is that of QjackCtl?

please, try enabling message file logging (see Setup.../Options/Logging) then show here that last portion of the written log just when you quit qjackctl.
