Hi,

On the wake of the miniLAC2016@email-addr-hidden-base.org Berlin [14], and keeping up
with tradition, the most venerable of the Qstuff* are under the so
called Spring'16 release frenzy...

Enjoy the party!

- QjackCtl 0.4.2
- Qsynth 0.4.1
- Qsampler 0.4.0
- QXGEdit 0.4.0
- QmidiCtl 0.4.0
- QmidiNet 0.4.0

Details are as follows...

**QjackCtl - JACK Audio Connection Kit Qt GUI Interface [1]**

   QjackCtl 0.4.2 (spring'16) released!

   QjackCtl [1] is a(n ageing but still) simple Qt [7] application to
control the JACK [8] sound server, for the Linux Audio [12] infrastructure.

Change-log:
- Added a brand new "Enable JACK D-BUS interface" option, split from the
old common "Enable D-BUS interface" setup option which now refers to its
own self D-BUS interface exclusively.
- Dropped old "Start minimized to system tray" option from setup.
- Add double-click action (toggle start/stop) to systray (a pull request
by Joel Moberg, thanks).
- Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
- System-tray icon context menu has been fixed/hacked to show up again
on Plasma 5 (aka. KDE5) notification status area.
- Switched column entries in the unified interface device combo-box to
make it work for macosx/coreaudio again.
- Blind fix to a FTBFS on macosx/coreaudio platforms, a leftover from
the unified interface device selection combo-box inception, almost two
years ago.
- Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
- Late French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
