Hi,
The moOde crew is currently testing and debugging Release Candidates which means we are getting pretty close to the point where we can freeze the code and begin the always enjoyable process of release administration.
Some core components have been updated
- Bump to bluez-alsa 3.0.0 w/SBC XQ codec
- Bump to upmpdcli 1.5.0
- Bump to Linux kernel 5.4.77 (includes updated Allo Piano 2.1 driver and new Boss 2 driver)
- Bump to MPD 0.22.3
- MPD Config supports 705.6/768 kHz rates
A couple new audio devices added
- Allo Boss 2 DAC
- EWCG Discrete R2R DAC (this device is from user @bigbulb, pics below)
We also changed from Bandwidth to Q in the new 12-band Parametric EQ since Q is more commonly used.
Draft release notes
