Hi,
 QjackCtl 0.2.14 has been released. No big features, only a bunch of

optimizations and cleanups. Check it out:
   http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net
 From the change log:
 - Put a limit on XRUN callback messages and statistics report rate,

preventing the potential hosing of the GUI due to a XRUN cascade storm.

The maximum reasonable report rate has been fixed to be one XRUN callback

occurrence per second.
 - Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where available, as

the default handler is usually fatal when a JACK client is zombified

abruptly.
 - All conection view items are now sorted in natural case insensitive

order, not just as audio port names as was before.
 - Got rid of those nonsense paranoid and rather stupid pseudo-mutex

guards on the connections management framework and event notifications

(nuff said :).
 - Optional confirmation warning on audio server shutdown, if there's some

audio clients still active and connected (as suggested by Sampo

Savolainen).
 - Check for  on configure time (as of JACK 0.99.42+ CVS).
 - "Unlock memory" server setup option was added, allowing the release of

memory used by common toolkit libraries (GTK+, Qt, FLTK, Wine) that were

being superfluously locked on every GUI JACK client; number of periods

has now the minimum allowed value of 2; server start delay widget

converted to spinbox; setup dialog layout slighly changed.
 - Removed stand-alone usx2y driver support. Since JACK 0.99.41+ CVS, the

special "rawusb" support on the Tascam US-122/224/428 USB Audio/MIDI

interface controllers have been merged and properly integrated into the

regular alsa backend driver. Being still experimental, this special mode

of operation is now triggered only when "hw:N,2" is specified as the alsa

device name (N = soundcard index of snd-usb-usx2y module).
 - Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line count exceeds

in one third the user configured line count maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in

use, the QTextView widget is otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText

format.
 - XRUN status items are kept double-dashed if none has been detected.
 Enjoy.
