* Wed May 21 2025 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.5.10:
* Fixed a critical crash in linking-utils.haveAvailableRoutes
that was introduced accidentally in 0.5.9 and caused loss of
audio output on affected systems (#797, #799, #800, !713)
* Mon May 19 2025 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.5.9:
* Additions & Enhancements:
- Added a new audio node grouping functionality using an
external command line tool (!646)
- The libcamera monitor now supports devices that are not
associated with device ids (!701)
- The wireplumber user systemd service is now associated with
dbus.service to avoid strange warnings when dbus exits (!702)
- Added "SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER", "SYSLOG_FACILITY", "SYSLOG_PID"
and "TID" to log messages that are sent to the journal (!709)
* Fixes:
- Fixed a crash of wpctl set-default on 32-bit architectures
(#773)
- Fixed a crash when a configuration component had no
'provides' field (#771)
- Reduced the log level of some messages that didn't need
to be as high (!695)
- Fixed another nil reference issue in the alsa.lua monitor
script (!704)
- Fixed name deduplication of v4l2 and libcamera devices (!705)
- Fixed an issue with wpctl not being able to save settings
sometimes (!708, #749)
- Drop patches that are already included in this version:

- Use Supplements: pulseaudio in wireplumber-video-only-profile
to get it automatically installed in systems using pulseaudio.
* Tue May 13 2025 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patch and rework how we enable/disable audio support in
pipewire/wireplumber to use upstream provided profiles instead
of custom config files modifications. We now support audio with
the default wireplumber package and only when the
wireplumber-video-only-profile package is installed, wireplumber
will not use audio (allowing to use pulseaudio instead). This
means we now set the profile using an environment variable in
the wireplumber user service that has a default value of "main"
and is set in /usr/etc/wireplumber.conf to "video-only" by the
mentioned package . A user can override the value in
/etc/wireplumber.conf.
* set-profile-in-service.patch

* Mon Feb 10 2025 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.5.8:
* Additions & Enhancements:
- Added support for handling UCM SplitPCM nodes in the ALSA
monitor, which allows native PipeWire channel remapping using
loopbacks for devices that use this feature (!685)
- Introduced new functions to mark WpSpaDevice child objects as
pending. This allows properly associating asynchronously
created loopback nodes with their parent WpSpaDevice without
losing ObjectConfig events (!687, !689)
- Improved the node name deduplication logic in the ALSA
monitor to prevent node names with .2, .3, etc appended to
them in some more cases (!688)
- Added a new script to populate session.services. This is a
step towards implementing detection of features that PipeWire
can service (!686)
* Fixes:
- Fixed an issue that was causing duplicate Bluetooth SCO
(HSP/HFP) source nodes to be shown in UIs (#701, !683)
- In the BlueZ monitor, marked the source loopback node as
non-virtual, addressing how it appears on UIs (#729)
- Disabled stream-restore for device loopback nodes to
prevent unwanted property changes (!691)
- Fixed wp_lua_log_topic_copy() to correctly copy topic names
(#757)
- Updated script tests to handle differences in object
identifiers (object.serial vs node.id), ensuring proper test
behavior (#761)
* Wed Dec 04 2024 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.5.7:
* Highlights:
- Fixed an issue that would cause random profile switching when
an application was trying to capture from non-Bluetooth
devices (#715, #634, !669)
- Fixed an issue that would cause strange profile selection
issues [choices not being remembered or unavailable routes
being selected] (#734)
- Added a timer that delays switching Bluetooth headsets to the
HSP/HFP profile, avoiding needless rapid switching when an
application is trying to probe device capabilities instead of
actually capturing audio (!664)
- Improved libcamera/v4l2 device deduplication logic to work
with more complex devices (!674, !675, #689, #708)
* Fixes:
- Fixed two memory leaks in module-mixer-api and
module-dbus-connection (!672, !673)
- Fixed a crash that could occur in module-reserve-device
(!680, #742)
- Fixed an issue that would cause the warning
"[string "alsa.lua"]:182: attempt to concatenate a nil value
(local 'node_name')" to appear in the logs when an ALSA
device was busy, breaking node name deduplication (!681)
- Fixed an issue that could make find-preferred-profile.lua
crash instead of properly applying profile priority rules
(#751)
- Remove patches that are already included in 0.5.7:
* 0001-autoswitch-bluetooth-profile-switch-only-Bluetooth-devices.patch

- Add patch from upstream to fix switching automatically the
profile of non-bluetooth devices (boo#1231815):
* 0001-autoswitch-bluetooth-profile-switch-only-Bluetooth-devices.patch
- Add patch from upstream to fix switching automatically the
profile when starting some apps and then switching to the
previous profile:
* 0002-autoswitch-bluetooth-profile-Switch-to-HSP_HFP-on-timeout.patch
- Add patches from upstream to fix a couple of memory leaks:
* 0003-m-mixer-api-Fix-memory-in-leak-wp_mixer_api_set_volume.patch
* 0004-module-dbus-connection-fix-GCancellable-leak.patch
* Mon Sep 09 2024 fcrozat@suse.com
- Update to version 0.5.6:
* Additions:
- Implemented before/after dependencies for components, to
ensure correct load order in custom configurations (#600)
- Implemented profile inheritance in the configuration file.
This allows profiles to inherit all the feature specifications
of other profiles, which is useful to avoid copying long lists
of features just to make small changes
- Added multi-instance configuration profiles, tested and
documented them
- Added a ``main-systemwide`` profile, which is now the default
for instances started via the system-wide systemd service and
disables features that depend on the user session (#608)
- Added a ``wp_core_connect_fd`` method, which allows making a
connection to PipeWire via an existing open socket (useful
for portal-based connections)
* Fixes:
- The Bluetooth auto-switch script now uses the common event
source object managers, which should improve its
stability (!663)
- Fix an issue where switching between Bluetooth profiles
would temporarily link active audio streams to the internal
speakers (!655)
* Tue Jul 02 2024 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.5.5:
* Highlights:
- Hotfix release to address crashes in the Bluetooth HSP/HFP
autoswitch functionality that were side-effects of some
changes that were part of the role-based linking policy
(#682)
* Improvements:
- wpctl will now properly show a '*' in front of sink filters
when they are selected as the default sink (!660)
Version: 0.4.9-150400.3.3.2
* Tue Aug 02 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Work around the bug in systemd scripts that didn't set the
default enable state for the wireplumber user service when
installing wireplumber. The bug (boo#1200485) was fixed but
that's only for new installations while this workaround will
fix current installations (boo#1202008).
* Wed Mar 30 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patch from upstream to fix no sound on reconnection of
bluetooth device (glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#234):
* 0001-scripts-policy-device-profile-clear-tables-when-devices-removed.patch
* Tue Mar 29 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patch from upstream to set locale in apps now that pw_init
doesn't call it by itself anymore in pipewire 0.3.49:
* 0001-src-setlocale-in-main-for-tools-and-the-daemon.patch
* Fri Mar 25 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Make the wireplumber-audio noarch as it just contains a lua
config file.
* Tue Mar 22 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.4.9:
* Fixes:
- restore-stream no longer crashes if properties for it are not
present in the config (#190)
- spa-json no longer crashes on non-x86 architectures
- Fixed a potential crash in the bluetooth auto-switch module
(#193)
- Fixed a race condition that would cause Zoom desktop audio
sharing to fail (#197)
- Surround sound in some games is now exposed properly
(pipewire#876)
- Fixed a race condition that would cause the default source &
sink to not be set at startup
- policy-node now supports the 'target.object' key on streams
and metadata
- Multiple fixes in policy-node that make the logic in some
cases behave more like PulseAudio (regarding nodes with the
dont-reconnect property and regarding following the default
source/sink)
- Fixed a bug with parsing unquoted strings in spa-json
* Misc:
- The policy now supports configuring "persistent" device
profiles. If a device is manually set to one of these
profiles, then it will not be auto-switched to another
profile automatically under any circumstances (#138, #204)
- The device-activation module was re-written in lua
- Brave, Edge, Vivaldi and Telegram were added in the bluetooth
auto-switch applications list
- ALSA nodes now use the PCM name to populate node.nick, which
is useful at least on HDA cards using UCM, where all outputs
(analog, hdmi, etc) are exposesd as nodes on a single profile
- An icon name is now set on the properties of bluetooth devices
- Drop patches already upstream:
* 0001-spa-json-fix-va_list-APIs-for-different-architectures.patch

nil:
* 0001-restore-stream-do-not-crash-if-config_properties-is-nil.patch
* Mon Feb 07 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.4.8:
* Highlights:
- Added bluetooth profile auto-switching support. Bluetooth
headsets will now automatically switch to the HSP/HFP profile
when making a call and go back to the A2DP profile after the
call ends (#90)
- Added an option (enabled by default) to auto-switch to
echo-cancel virtual device nodes when the echo-cancel module
is loaded in pipewire-pulse, if there is no other configured
default node
* Fixes:
- Fixed a regression that prevented nodes from being selected
as default when using the pro-audio profile (#163)
- Fixed a regression that caused encoded audio streams to stall
(#178)
- Fixed restoring bluetooth device profiles
* Library:
- A new WpSpaJson API was added as a front-end to spa-json.
This is also exposed to Lua, so that Lua scripts can natively
parse and write data in the spa-json format
* Misc:
- wpctl can now list the configured default sources and sinks
and has a new command that allows clearing those configured
defaults, so that wireplumber goes back to choosing the
default nodes based on node priorities
- The restore-stream script now has its own configuration file
in main.lua.d/40-stream-defaults.lua and has independent
options for restoring properties and target nodes
- The restore-stream script now supports rule-based
configuration to disable restoring volume properties and/or
target nodes for specific streams, useful for applications
that misbehave when we restore those (see #169)
- policy-endpoint now assigns the "Default" role to any stream
that does not have a role, so that it can be linked to a
pre-configured endpoint
- The route-settings-api module was dropped in favor of dealing
with json natively in Lua, now that the API exists
- Drop patch which is already upstream:
* 0001-default-nodes-handle-nodes-without-Routes.patch
- Update split-config-file.py script
* Mon Jan 31 2022 gmbr3@opensuse.org
- Use the default lua instead of hardcoding 5.3
* Tue Jan 25 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.4.7:
* Fixed a regression in 0.4.6 that caused the selection of the
default audio sources and sinks to be delayed until some event,
which effectively caused losing audio output in many
circumstances (glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#148,
glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#150, glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#151,
glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#153)
* Fixed a regression in 0.4.6 that caused the echo-cancellation
pipewire module (and possibly others) to not work
* A default sink or source is now not selected if there is no
available route for it (glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#145)
* Fixed an issue where some clients would wait for a bit while
seeking (glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#146)
* Fixed audio capture in the endpoints-based policy
* Fixed an issue that would cause certain lua scripts to error
out with older configuration files
(glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#158)
- Drop patches already included upstream:
* 0001-policy-node-schedule-rescan-without-timeout-if-defined-target-is-not-found.patch
* 0002-policy-node-find-best-linkable-if-default-one-cannot-be-linked.patch

* Mon Jan 10 2022 alarrosa@suse.com
- Reformat .changes file to limit lines to 67 chars when possible.
* Sat Jan 08 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.4.6:
* Fix a lot of race condition bugs that would cause strange
crashes or many log messages being printed when streaming
clients would connect and disconnect very fast.
* Improve the logic for selecting a default target device.
* Fix switching to headphones when the wired headphones are
plugged in.
* Fix an issue where "udevadm trigger" would break wireplumber.
* Fix an issue where switching profiles of a device could kill
client nodes.
* Fix briefly switching output to a secondary device when
switching device profiles (#85)
* Fix "wpctl status" showing default device selections when
dealing with module-loopback virtual sinks and sources.
* WirePlumber now ignores hidden files from the config directory.
* Fix an interoperability issue with jackdbus.
* Fix an issue where pulseaudio tcp clients would not have
permissions to connect to PipeWire.
* Fix a crash in the journald logger with NULL debug messages.
* Enable real-time priority for the bluetooth nodes to run in RT.
* Make the default stream volume configurable.
* Scripts are now also looked up in
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireplumber/scripts
* Update documentation on configuring WirePlumber and fixed some
more documentation issues.
* Add support for using strings as log level selectors in
WIREPLUMBER_DEBUG.
- Drop patches merged upstream:
* 0001-m-reserve-device-replace-the-hash-table-key-on-new-insert.patch
* 0002-policy-node-wait-for-nodes-when-we-become-unlinked.patch
- Add patch from upstream to fix a pulse client hanging issue:

* 0002-policy-node-find-best-linkable-if-default-one-cannot-be-linked.patch
* Wed Dec 15 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Remove many build dependencies which aren't really needed
* Sat Dec 11 2021 fabian@ritter-vogt.de
- Use %autosetup, apply patches unconditionally
- Hard depend on wireplumber-audio if pipewire-pulseaudio is installed
* Thu Dec 09 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Supplements: (pipewire-pulseaudio and wireplumber) so everyone
having those two packages already installed automatically get
wireplumber-audio pulled in.
* Thu Dec 09 2021 bjorn.lie@gmail.com
- Quiet setup of sources, no need to see the package untared.
- Disable tests for ppc64 for now like we do for i586.
* Fri Dec 03 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Split the configuration to separate the audio initialization
to a new wireplumber-audio subpackage. This way, if that package
is not installed, pipewire doesn't open the audio devices, thus
not entering a race-condition with pulseaudio but still allowing
to manage v4l2 devices and sharing the screen in wayland, for
example (boo#1188516).
* Wed Nov 24 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patches from upstream to fix wireplumber breaking when
udevadm trigger is run:
* 0001-m-reserve-device-replace-the-hash-table-key-on-new-insert.patch
- And another patch to fix an issue where there is only 1 sink
available and the card profile is toggeled between pro and
stereo:
* 0002-policy-node-wait-for-nodes-when-we-become-unlinked.patch
* Thu Nov 11 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Update to version 0.4.5:
* Fixes:
- Fixed a crash that could happen after a node linking error
(glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#76)
- Fixed a bug that would cause capture streams to link to
monitor ports of loopback nodes instead of linking to their
capture ports
- Fixed a needless wait that would happen on applications using
the pipewire ALSA plugin (glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#92)
- Fixed an issue that would cause endless rescan loops in
policy-node and could potentially also cause other strange
behaviors in case pavucontrol or another monitoring utility
was open while the policy was rescanning
(glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#77)
- Fixed the endpoints-based policy that broke in recent
versions and improved its codebase to share more code and be
more in-line with policy-node
- The semicolon character is now escaped properly in state
files (glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#82)
- When a player requests encoded audio passthrough, the policy
now prefers linking to a device that supports that instead of
trying to link to the default device and potentially failing
(glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#75)
- Miscellaneous robustness fixes in policy-node
* API:
- Added WpFactory, a binding for pw_factory proxies. This
allows object managers to query factories that are loaded in
the pipewire daemon
- The file-monitor-api plugin can now watch files for changes
in addition to directories
- Remove patches already included by upstream:
* 0001-si-standard-link-fix-crash-after-returning-a-link-error.patch
* 0002-policy-node-enforce-the-direction-of-the-target-when-linking-by-node-name.patch
* 0001-add-missing-break-in-best-route-selection-logic.patch
* Wed Nov 03 2021 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add patch from upstream to fix a problem saving the default
route:
* 0001-add-missing-break-in-best-route-selection-logic.patch
- Add patch to let wireplumber build in Leap 15.3/SLE-15-SP3
which only have meson 0.54:
* reduce-meson-required-version.patch
Version: 0.4.13-150500.3.2.1
* Fri Jan 13 2023 alarrosa@suse.com
- Backport the workaround from SLE/Leap for the bug in systemd
scripts that didn't set the default enable state for the
wireplumber user service when installing wireplumber. The bug
(boo#1200485) was fixed but that's only for new installations
while this workaround will fix old installations (boo#1202008).
This is used to automatically fix installations of
SLE 15 SP4/Leap 15.4 that were not updated during it's lifetime
and upgrade directly to SP5/15.5 .
* Wed Jan 11 2023 alarrosa@suse.com
- Add upstream patches to fix glfo#pipewire/pipewire#2214 and to
handle better non-null terminated strings:

* 0001-spa-json-make-sure-we-only-add-encoded-string-data.patch
* 0001-m-lua-scripting-ignore-string-integer-table-keys-when-constructing-a-JSON-Array-Object.patch
* Tue Dec 13 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.4.13:
* Additions
- Add bluetooth SCO (HSP/HFP) hardware offload support,
together with an example script that enables this
functionality on the PinePhone.
- Encoded audio (mp3, aac, etc...) can now be passed through,
if this mode is supported by both the application and the
device.
- The v4l2 monitor now also respects the ``node.disabled`` and
``device.disabled`` properties inside rules.
- Add "Firefox Developer Edition" to the list of applications
that are allowed to trigger a bluetooth profile auto-switch.
- Add support in the portal access script to allow newly
plugged cameras to be immediately visible to the portal
applications.
* Fixes
- Work around an issue that would prevent streams from properly
linking when using effects software like EasyEffects and
JamesDSP.
- Fix destroying pavucontrol-qt monitor streams after the node
that was being monitored is destroyed.
- Fix a crash in the alsa.lua monitor that could happen when a
disabled device was removed and re-added.
- Fix a rare crash in the metadata object.
- Fix a bug where a restored node target would override the
node target set by the application on the node's properties.
* Packaging
- Add build options to compile wireplumber's library, daemon
and tools independently.
- Add a build option to disable unit tests that require the
dbus daemon.
- Stop using fakesink/fakesrc in the unit tests to be able to
run them on default pipewire installations. Compiling the spa
``test`` plugin is no longer necessary.
- Add pkg-config and header information in the gir file.
- Rebase reduce-meson-required-version.patch
- Drop patches already upstream:
* 0001-alsa.lua-remove-the-disabled-entities-from-the-names-table.patch

- Add patch from upstream to fix handling null devices which result
in lua exceptions:
* 0001-alsa.lua-remove-the-disabled-entities-from-the-names-table.patch
* Tue Oct 04 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.4.12:
* Changes
- WirePlumber now maintains a stack of previously configured
default nodes and prioritises to one of those when the
actively configured default node becomes unavailable, before
calculating the next default using priorities.
- Updated bluetooth scripts to support the name changes that
happened in PipeWire 0.3.59 and also support the experimental
Bluetooth LE functionality.
- Changed the naming of bluetooth nodes to not include the
profile in it; this allows maintaining existing links when
switching between a2dp and hfp.
- The default volume for new outputs has changed to be 40% in
cubic scale (= -24 dB) instead of linear
(= 74% cubic / -8 dB) that it was before.
- The default volume for new inputs has changed to be 100%
rather than following the default for outputs.
- Added ``--version`` flag on the wireplumber executable.
- Added ``--limit`` flag on ``wpctl set-volume`` to limit the
higher volume that can be set (useful when incrementing
volume with a keyboard shortcut that calls into wpctl).
- The properties of the alsa midi node can now be set in the
config files.
* Fixes
- Fixed a crash in lua code that would happen when running in a
VM.
- Fixed a crash that would happen when re-connecting to D-Bus.
- Fixed a mistake in the code that would cause device
reservation not to work properly.
- Fixed ``wpctl clear-default`` to accept 0 as a valid setting ID.
- Fixed the logic of choosing the best profile after the active
profile of a device becomes unavailable
- Fixed a regression that would cause PulseAudio "corked"
streams to not properly link and cause busy loops.
- Fixed an issue parsing spa-json objects that have a nested
object as the value of their last property.
- Rebase reduce-meson-required-version.patch
- Drop patches already upstream:
* fix-alsa.patch
* 0001-dbus-fix-crash-when-trying-to-reconnect.patch
* 398.patch
* Fri Aug 05 2022 badshah400@gmail.com
- Add 398.patch -- policy-node: fix potential rescan loop to
prevent high cpu usage (glfo#pipewire/wireplumber#152); patch
taken from upstream merge request.
* Thu Jul 14 2022 fvogt@suse.com
- Add patch to fix crash on session end:
* 0001-dbus-fix-crash-when-trying-to-reconnect.patch
* Fri Jul 08 2022 fvogt@suse.com
- Add patch to fix alsa device creation:
* fix-alsa.patch
* Tue Jul 05 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.4.11:
* Changes
- The libcamera monitor is now enabled by default, so if the
libcamera source is enabled in PipeWire, cameras discovered
with the libcamera API will be available out of the box.
This is safe to use alongside V4L2, as long as the user does
not try to use the same camera over different APIs at the
same time.
- Libcamera and V4L2 nodes now get assigned a
`priority.session` number; V4L2 nodes get a higher priority
by default, so the default camera is going to be /dev/video0
over V4L2, unless changed with `wpctl`.
- Libcamera nodes now get a user-friendly description based on
their location (e.g. built-in front camera). Additionally,
V4L2 nodes now have a "(V4L2)" string appended to their
description in order to be distinguished from the libcamera
ones.
- 50-alsa-config.lua now has a section where you can set
properties that will only be applied if WirePlumber is
running in a virtual machine. By default it now sets
`api.alsa.period-size = 256` and `api.alsa.headroom = 8192`.
* Fixes
- The "enabled" properties in the config files are now "true"
by default when they are not defined. This fixes backwards
compatibility with older configuration files.
- Fixed device name deduplication in the alsa monitor, when
device reservation is enabled.
- Reverted a previous fix that makes it possible again to get
a glitch when changing default nodes while also changing the
profile (GNOME Settings).
The fix was causing other problems and the issue will be
addressed differently in the future.
- Fixed an issue that would prevent applications from being
moved to a recently plugged USB headset.
- Fixed an issue where wireplumber would automatically link
control ports, if they are enabled, to audio ports,
effectively breaking audio.
- The policy now always considers the profile of a device that
was previously selected by the user, if it is available, when
deciding which profile to activate.
- A few documentation fixes.
* Tools
- wpctl now has a `get-volume` command for easier scripting of
volume controls.
- wpctl now supports relative steps and percentage-based steps
in `set-volume`.
- wpctl now also prints link states.
- wpctl can now `inspect` metadata objects without showing
critical warnings.
* Library
- A new WpDBus API was added to maintain a single D-Bus
connection among modules that need one.
- WpCore now has a method to get the virtual machine type, if
WirePlumber is running in a virtual machine.
- WpSpaDevice now has a
`wp_spa_device_new_managed_object_iterator()` method.
- WpSpaJson now has a `wp_spa_json_to_string()` method that
returns a newly allocated string with the correct size of the string token.
- WpLink now has a `WP_LINK_FEATURE_ESTABLISHED` that allows
the caller to wait until the link is in the PAUSED or ACTIVE
state. This transparently now enables watching links for
negotiation or allocation errors and failing gracefully
instead of keeping dead link objects around.
* Misc
- The Lua subproject was bumped to version 5.4.4.
- Rebase reduce-meson-required-version.patch
* Tue May 10 2022 sor.alexei@meowr.ru
- Update to version 0.4.10:
* Changes
- Add i18n support to be able to translate some user-visible
strings.
- wpctl now supports using
@DEFAULT_{AUDIO_,VIDEO_,}{SINK,SOURCE}@ as ID, almost like
pactl. Additionally, it supports a --pid flag for changing
volume and mute state by specifying a process ID, applying
the state to all nodes of a specific client process.
- The Lua engine now supports loading Lua libraries. These can
be placed either in the standard Lua libraries path or in
the "lib" subdirectory of WirePlumber's "scripts" directory
and can be loaded with ``require()``
- The Lua engine's sandbox has been relaxed to allow more
functionality in scripts (the debug & coroutine libraries
and some other previously disabled functions)
- Lua scripts are now wrapped in special WpPlugin objects,
allowing them to load asynchronously and declare when they
have finished their loading
- Add a new script that provides the same functionality as
module-fallback-sink from PipeWire, but also takes endpoints
into account and can be customised more easily. Disabled by
default for now to avoid conflicts.
* Policy
- Add an optional experimental feature that allows filter-like
streams (like echo-cancel or filter-node) to match the
channel layout of the device they connect to, on both sides
of the filter; that means that if, for instance, a sink has
6 channels and the echo-cancel's source stream is linked to
that sink, then the virtual sink presented by echo-cancel
will also be configured to the same 6 channels layout. This
feature needs to be explicitly enabled in the configuration
("filter.forward-format")
- filter-like streams (filter-chain and such) no longer follow
the default sink when it changes, like in PulseAudio.
* Fixes
- The suspend-node script now also suspends nodes that go into
the "error" state, allowing them to recover from errors
without having to restart WirePlumber.
- Fix a crash in mixer-api when setting volume with
channelVolumes.
- logind module now watches only for user state changes,
avoiding errors when machined is not running.
* Misc
- The configuration files now have comments mentioning which
options need to be disabled in order to run WirePlumber
without D-Bus.
- The configuration files now have properties to
enable/disable the monitors and other sections, so that it
is possible to disable them by dropping in a file that just
sets the relevant property to false.
- setlocale() is now called directly instead of relying on
pw_init().
- WpSpaJson received some fixes and is now used internally to
parse configuration files.
- More applications were added to the bluetooth auto-switch
applications whitelist.
- Add a new wireplumber-lang package.
- Drop patches already upstream:
* 0001-scripts-policy-device-profile-clear-tables-when-devices-removed.patch
* 0001-src-setlocale-in-main-for-tools-and-the-daemon.patch
- Rebase reduce-meson-required-version.patch
