Hi,

how do I replace the "FFADO" option  (in the JACK options) with freebob?
FFado is unstable so I wonder why Ardour suggests ffado.

greetings,
Nils

> A DMG for the X11 OS X version will follow shortly and there will also
> be a Tiger/Intel-only OS X native package in the next day or three.
> 
> Because there will be people who did not upgrade from 2.0, the list
> below includes not just changes from 2.0.5, but an overview of what
> has changed since 2.0. I hope that Ardour subscribers and supporters
> are happy with the progress since the start of the summer.

>   Brand New Features not present in previous minor releases
>   ==========================================================
> 
>     * "native" OS X support
>         
> 	* no need for X11 anymore.
> 	* built using the GTK-OSX port of GTK to Quartz/Cocoa
> 	* to compile this on OSX, please read 
>                 http://ardour.org/building_osx_native
> 		
>     * new import dialog
>         
> 	* better auditioning
> 	* better presentation of options
> 	* resampling quality control
> 
>     * new JACK control dialog
>         
> 	* if you don't want to use qjackctl and don't require
> 	   and external JACK patcher (i.e. "Let me just run Ardour,
> 	   dammit!") this dialog will you configure JACK. It only
> 	   appears (as a tab in the new session dialog) if JACK
> 	   is not running when Ardour is started.
>         
>     * mouse scrubbing 
>         
> 	* switch to mouse audition mode
> 	* button1-press and drag
> 
>     * separate MMC device ID's for send & receive
>     * range context menus modified for greater clarity and simplicity
>     * crossfades involving transparent regions now work appropriately
>     * click or drag in rulers works better
>     * update click data when sample rate changes
>     * provide limits to in-memory undo history depth
>     * provide limits to saved undo history depth 
>     * optionally tie editor & mixer display order together
>     * provide GUI control for timecode-slave-is-synced
>     * make Ctrl-w close any dialog
>     * generate peakfiles for embedded files asynchronously
>     * metering now works more appropriately with no inputs
>     * big clock is always on top
>     * reduce memory usage during I/O from multichannel audio files
>     * change window visibility during startup
>     * use new translation domains, to avoid ardour 0.99 and ardour 2.X 
>          from colliding when installed in parallel
>     * new option (only-copy-imports) to avoid creating sessions that \
>         reference external audio files (i.e. all audio is either native,
>         copied or hard-linked into the session)
>     * retain MIDI control information for plugin parameters
>     * auto-reconnect ALSA sequencer MIDI ports at startup
> 
>   New Features in previous minor releases (2.0.1-2.0.5)
>   =====================================================
>     
>     * add Theme Manager, including new "light" theme
>     * support for 16 bit native file format
>     * add delta-cursor option from trunk (allows clock to display the 
>         gap between the edit+playback cursors)
>     * massively increase automation resolution
>     * stop audio clocks from vanishing when turned off
>     * plugin selection dialog now has filtering by name, type, author 
>         and more
>     * permit GUI user-driven add/remove of MIDI ports
>     * alternate file name filters for the soundfile browser (allow user 
>         to see all files, not just guesses at audio files)
>     * switch monitoring default to external
>     * add declicking xfades when looping
>     * new denormal handling options, including both DC bias and 
>         processor feature choices
>     * Added/improved the ability to record while the transport is 
>         looping. This works for both Internal (seamless) and JACK sync, 
>         new regions are created each cycle around the loop and stacked 
>         on top of each other. It is recommended for now that automatic 
>         crossfades be turned off when doing this. Punch-In/Out may be 
> 	used also.
>     * added basic support for the Griffin Powermate "big knob+button" 
>         controller (Linux only, for now). 
> 
>   Brand New Fixes not present in older minor releases (2.0.1-2.0.5)

>     * button2 clicks on redirects now ignore NumLock
>     * fix naming error for peakfiles that caused multichannel regions

> 
>   Fixes present in older minor releases (2.0.1-2.0.5)

>          on OSX & Linux
>     * crash revealed by GTK+ 2.11 (unstable new version of GTK) fixed 
>     * protect ardour from sessions with errant capture sources stored 
>          in the (pending) session state. This was a major bug that has 
>          affected many people over the last several releases. It is now

>     * allow L and R as possible audio file suffixes
>     * allow middle-click pasting in several dialogs
>     * fix diskstream deletion crash after track removal
>     * fix crashes caused by clicking in region list when there is no 
>         associated region for that line
>     * better default buttons+icons for crossfade editor
>     * move clock modes from submenu to top level
>     * stop undo/redo from duplicating plugins and more
>     * fix audio clock keypress/release handling
>     * fix most problems with dragging close to 2^32-1 samples
>     * crossfade editor usability improvements
>     * fix for crash on ctrl-middle click in regions
>     * fixed the stuttering/stuck problem when looping with JACK sync
>     * fixed gui bug that prevented record-disable when latch record 
>          option is on
>     * fixed issue where it would rec-enable unnecessarily when passing 
>          through the punch-out point
>     * fixed corner case in diskstream record length (that no one would 
>          ever notice)

>         (amazingly) appears to the user by showing all text as black 
>         blocks.
>     * Make sure plugin GUI's appear on top of the editor and other
>         windows
>     * Enable clicks on plugins/inserts/send names to work even when 
>         numlock is engaged.
