Yes. > maybe the following is noteworthy I did scan every patch. My criteria for inclusion were: * Is it an interface change (libpulse, module arguments, command line arguments, configuration options)? If yes, it should be mentioned. * Does it enable new hardware? * Is it important for packagers? (The dependency changes qualify.) * Does it improve performance significantly? * Is it interesting in some other way to many people? (The brand new shell completion qualifies.) I didn't include bug fixes, except a couple that I am for some reason personally very happy to have in the release. No clear criteria with these. > Resampler: > 3a3c4eb4622feb8115d1387f33a4bfa722e0061a Improve s16<->s32 conversion Perhaps yes, doing only one format conversion instead of two is a good improvement. I missed that point when I did my scanning. s32 is pretty rare format, though. > e66e8464183e9916b248a9dedd4d6dcf3e1a38fa Change/fix conversion to/from float32 This seemed like a minor improvement, and falls partially to the bug fix category. If you disagree about this having only a minor impact, I'll add this item. > 930654a3af266ab112d1d1f6b1083197ee4bb373 Generate normalized rows in calc_map_table() A bug fix. Perhaps generally interesting, though, so I might add this. > 30ce3a14e5ae1cd316a18bec95b831c07ac57a1a Resample first followed by remapping if have more out channels than in channels Yes, should be mentioned in the optimization section. > 92bb9fb8b5aeebb87c4df7416e75db1782e2dd3a Switch to speex-float-1 by default I thought about adding a "changed defaults" section, but the file seemed to be pretty long already... I'm not really against adding this, though. Another changed default is that the default default.pa loads module-jackdbus-detect now with "channels=2" argument. > D-Bus interface: > ebfd656fc99748e8beabf21885129dfbbf19a030 dbus: Add signal org.PulseAudio.Core1.Card.NewProfile The D-Bus interface is in a quite sad state: it seems to be permanently experimental and it has started to bitrot. Therefore, I don't think minor changes to it are very interesting, even if they are interface changes (we give no stability guarantees for the D-Bus interface). > Modules: > tons of bluetooth things Could be mentioned somewhere, yes. > echo-cancel: support multi-channel EC implementation with asymmetric number of channels in record/playback/output stream specs Yes, this should probably be mentioned. I don't remember how this exactly works and what are the implications, so I need to think a bit what to write. > CLI: > cfa79a84fcc0d7ace7f8602f62c658341a082106 Show card profile availability status I don't think we have committed to any particular semantics for the card profile availability. It's not part of the public API. For that reason I don't want to advertise it much at this point. > Logging: > 0f44b1e820c1744bfb46d37e87b71d64109c4374 Log the reason for every suspend/resume.
