[Jack-rack-announce] JACK Rack 1.4.5rc2 test release

[Adam S. <at...@of...>]

Hi all,

Since Leslie's rather short on time at the moment, he's handed
maintainership of JACK Rack over to me. I believe I've processed all the
pending requests and patches that had been sent to him; if there's
anything I haven't caught up on, please let me know.

I've put together a new JACK Rack -rc tarball, and it's available from
Sourceforge here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=71639&package_id=71264

This is the first release I've done myself, so it's likely that things
may have broken; please test it and let me know if it's OK for you.

Changes since 1.4.5-rc1:

- Various cleanups to the source code.

- Use the new GTK about dialog and toolbar APIs (the major effect of
  which is that the "add" button in the toolbar now looks different).

- Use the correct dialogs when opening and saving files.

- Disconnect safely from JACK upon shutdown (patch from Florian Paul
  Schmidt).

- Make the configure script check for the LADSPA header.

Thanks,
