Hello, According to the usual release schedule, master should have been frozen already in December, but I've been postponing that (for no good reason). Now finally, if there are no objections, I declare master frozen so that we can soon release 12.0. There won't be a release candidate published immediately, because we have a release blocker bug open[1], but I'm working on a fix and patches should appear soon on the list. I'd also like to have the "[PATCH v2 0/3] Fix Intel HDMI LPE problems" patch set included in 12.0, even though it doesn't fix any release blockers. We have other fixes in master for the HDMI LPE problems, but those are useless without the jack detection fixes. As usual, patches that are reviewed and accepted during the freeze but aren't to be included the 12.0 release will be put in the "next" branch, and once the release is out, the patches in the "next" branch will be added to the "master" branch. The release notes are mostly done already: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/12.0/ [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104761 -- Tanu https://liberapay.com/tanuk https://www.patreon.com/tanuk
