0.7.1

Fixes:

• Fix incompatibility with Python < 3.7, due to use of re.Pattern and re.Match, which were only added in Python 3.7.

Python 3.4 is still supported, but will be dropped in next major release.

0.7.0

New features:

• Added support for listing and matching port meta data pretty-names (supported only with JACK1 or JACK2 >= 1.9.13 or development version).
• Added command line option -e, --exact-matching for exact port name matching mode.
• Added command line option -N, --client-name to set JACK client name.

Enhancements:

• Expanded documentation in README to explain pattern matching and match group substitution and with more and better examples.
• Added badge images & links to README.
• Improved handling of port name decoding.
• Added a couple of example scripts for jacklib usage to repo.
• Updated Python versions in setup.py classifiers.

Fixes:

• Re-compile input port pattern for each output port as it may have changed due to match group substitution.
• Fixed probable memory leak from not freeing jack_get_ports results.
• Fixed wrong return type of JACK port rename callback function declaration.
• Removed unused alsainfo module.

0.6.0

Changes

• Automatically tries to re-connect to JACK if the server not available on start-up or shuts down while jack-matchmaler is running
• Added sections to readme on installation, license and jack server connection

0.5.0

Changes

• Reorganize command line options: -l/--list-ports is replaced by -o/--list-outputs and -i/--list-inputs, which can be given on their own or together and in combination with the -a/--list-aliases option.
• Remove prefixes and separators from port and connection listings (so you can more easily parse the output in shell scripts or pipe the output of jack-matchmaker -c into a file and directly use it with the -p/--pattern-file option).
• Add --version command line option.
• Exclude currently unused alsainfo module from distribution.
• Some internal code re-formatting for PEP-8 conformity.
