The PipeWire development team, a modern multimedia framework for audio and video processing, has announced the release of version 1.4.0. This release includes support for the RISC-V architecture, enhanced capabilities for MIDI 2.0, a new API for JACK management, and many other innovations.
Key Changes:
- Added support for RISC-V architecture.
- Experimental support for MIDI 2.0 has been added, a new standard for music interfaces offering expanded capabilities compared to MIDI 1.0. This includes support for more channels, improved resolution, and a more flexible data management system.
- A new API for managing JACK, which simplifies the integration of PipeWire with applications using JACK Audio Connection Kit.
- Improved support for video processing, including compatibility with H.264 and H.265 formats.
- Significant work has been done to optimize performance and enhance stability. This includes fixing numerous bugs, improving memory management, and reducing latency in audio and video processing.
- New plugins and modules have been added to expand the framework's functionality. For example, support for Bluetooth devices has been improved, and new opportunities for working with PulseAudio have been introduced.
- New tools and APIs have been added for developers to simplify the creation of applications based on PipeWire. This includes improved documentation, new code examples, and more flexible interfaces for integration.
