  <description>
    <p>Easy Effects is an advanced audio manipulation tool. It includes an equalizer, limiter, compressor and a reverberation tool, just to mention a few. To complement this there is also a built in spectrum analyzer.</p>
    <p>Easy Effects is the successor to PulseEffects. Easy Effects only supports PipeWire's audio server. PulseAudio users should instead use PulseEffects.</p>
    <p>Because Easy Effects uses the default PipeWire sound server it will work with most, if not all, applications you use. All supported applications are presented in the main window, where each can be enabled individually.</p>
    <p>Besides manipulating sound output, Easy Effects is able to apply effects to an input device, such as a microphone. This is, for example, useful in audio recording, but it also works well during voice conversations.</p>
    <p>When Easy Effects is launched it will conveniently remember the configuration used in the last session. It is also possible to save all the current settings as profiles.</p>

      <description>
        <ul>
          <li>Features:</li>
          <li>A new Autotune effect (by x42-plugins) has been added. It can be used to correct the pitch of the input signal in real time.</li>
          <li>The shortcut "Shift + Mouse Wheel" can now be used to change the value of a control in larger steps. Similarly to what is already possible with the page up and down keys.</li>
          <li>Desktop notifications are shown when changing the global bypass state through a global shortcut. For now this only works if the system tray icon is used.</li>
          <li>In order to minimize conflicts with other applications shortcuts our global shortcuts now use the Meta key.</li>
          <li>When effects are disabled a new tray icon that represets this state is used.</li>
          <li>The spectrum frequency range now starts at 1 Hz and ends at 25000 Hz.</li>
          <li>Bug fixes:</li>
          <li>The convolver feature that combines impulse response files was not working. Regression fixed.</li>
          <li>Other notes:</li>
          <li>Package maintainers should include the LV2 module of x42-plugins in order to make the new Autotune effect available.</li>
        </ul>

          <li>Bug fixes:</li>
          <li>In some distributions like NixOS the speexdsp library is compiled with the fftw backend. So we need to make our speex proecssor plugin to use our global fftw mutex. Otherwise using it together with the convolver or the crystalizer plugin can lead to random crashes.</li>
          <li>The inactivity timeout switch value was not being checked in some cases.</li>

          <li>Updated translations</li>
          <li>Bug fixes:</li>

          <li>The default Pre-mix control values of the compressor, gate, expander, multiband compressor and multiband gate were incorrectly set to 0 dB when it should be -Inf. Users will need to manually update their presets in case they do not have set custom pre-mix values.</li>
          <li>We now create Qt's lock file inside QStandardPaths::RuntimeLocation. This should avoid problems with multi user setups.</li>

          <li>The bypass state can be retrieved from the command line as we could do with the former GTK version.</li>
          <li>Added a new command line option to toggle the bypass. This could be bound to a custom shortcut key and used on desktop environments that do not support XDG Global Shortcuts protocol.</li>

          <li>Features:</li>
          <li>The labels of an Equalizer band in the main view are greyed out when the type of the filter is set to "Off", so the user can quickly know which band is enabled or not.</li>
          <li>Added the ability to enable a global excluded apps list. In this mode the blocklist set by the user is always valid and do not depend on the blocklist value set in the loaded preset.</li>
          <li>The tray menu presets list now indicates the last loaded preset if this preset is among the most used ones.</li>
          <li>Performance optimization to some operations that could temporarily freeze the main window animations. Like opening the native window of a heavy plugin.</li>
          <li>Our convolver now supports mono and true stereo impulse response files.</li>
          <li>Bug fixes:</li>
          <li>Fixed a bug that occurred in the import of APO/GraphicEq presets. In certain conditions, when Equalizer Split Channels mode was enabled, the preset imported to a single channel was altering the configuration in the other channel.</li>
          <li>Fixed a bug that caused Easy Effects to sometimes get the wrong default output device.</li>
          <li>Fixed a bug that caused the autoloading window to get the wrong device route when creating a profile.</li>
          <li>Other notes:</li>
          <li>Some of the UI elements that were built with the Overlay Sheets have been ported to use the Kirigami Dialogs. This should help us to better follow KDE HIG. But more work is still needed.</li>

          <li>Our presets menu became a presets window that now has a third tab dedicated for autoloading profiles.</li>
          <li>It is now possible to set a fallback autoloading profile. If the fallback is enabled, the selected fallback preset is applied for any soundcard or microphone that does not have an autoloading profile.</li>
          <li>The preset autoloading tab shows the current routing of the selected input/output device.</li>
          <li>Presets can be renamed in our presets window.</li>
          <li>Presets backup can be made in our presets window.</li>
          <li>Our spectrum is now drawn by Qt Graphs. For now only Qt color presets are allowed, but this may change in the future.</li>
          <li>We added more local shortcuts, as well as the support for XDG Global Shortcuts protocol. At the moment, if the Wayland compositor correctly implements the protocol, the global effects on/off and the microphone monitor can be toggled when the windows is hidden and Easy Effects is run as background service.</li>
          <li>Dry and wet controls were implemented for the Convolver and Pitch plugins.</li>
          <li>The Pitch plugin now has a button that allows its history to be reset.</li>
          <li>The Crystalizer plugin now has an adaptive intensity mode.</li>
          <li>Our Echo Canceller is now based on the webrtc library instead of speexdsp. This should improve echo cancellation quality for many users.</li>
          <li>Our manual is now displayed inside our window through WebEngineView. Yelp is not necessary anymore.</li>
          <li>The test signal tab now can generate pink noise.</li>
          <li>We added a configuration option that allows the microphone monitor output to be sent to the output effects pipeline input.</li>
          <li>We added a new Autogain parameter that allows the output level to be forced to zero when the input level is below the silence threshold.</li>
          <li>Improved compatibility with the latest Linux Studio Plugins releases.</li>
          <li>We are now able to show Calf Studio Plugins native window. This requires the calf package to be built with its native window.</li>
          <li>Bug fixes:</li>
          <li>We were not locking PipeWire's thread main loop before setting a stream volume and mute controls. This could cause these operations to fail in some situations.</li>
          <li>Other notes:</li>
          <li>Moving to Qt from GTK4 means that a lot has changed about our dependencies. I suggest that package maintainers take a look at our Arch Linux PKGBUILD to see everything that is necessary</li>
          <li>The Crystalizer effect uses the adaptive intensity mode by default. Old presets generated by previous GTK versions should be resaved with adaptive intensity disabled in order to behave the same way as the old mechanism without it.</li>
          <li>For a long time we have been saving presets, impulse responses, rnnoise and autoload profile files in our configuration folder. What is not what XDG standard suggests to be done. Now it's the time to change that. Our master branch now saves these files inside ~/.local/share/easyeffects and keeps only our database files inside ~/.config/easyeffects. Easy Effects will copy the current files to the new location and move the old directories to the users trash. This way if something horrible happens the user will be able to get the files back.</li>
          <li>At this moment XDG global shortcuts are working well on KDE. Not so much on GNOME and maybe other desktops too. On Gnome in particular, the shortcut itself does work, but key binding customization seems to be properly implemented only by KDE. Other Wayland implementations should be tested and we invite users to let us know how it works.</li>

          <li>Dry and wet controls added to the Stereo Tools effect.</li>
          <li>The echo canceller now has a residual noise suppression control also based on the Speex library.</li>
          <li>Bug fixes:</li>
          <li>When the mouse was hovering over a chart the wrong value for the x axis coordinate was being shown. This regression is fixed.</li>
          <li>Other notes:</li>
          <li>Because of the new multiple instances feature, the preset format has changed, but the old one is still compatible to be loaded. Anyway take in consideration that saving the current preset will always write it in the new format.</li>

      <description>
        <ul>
          <li>Features:</li>
          <li>When effects are disable to an application we now set its target metadata to null. This will allow the media session manager (wireplumber) to properly move the stream to a new device.</li>
          <li>A new configuration option was added. It allows EasyEffects to ignore streams whose purpose is to monitor sink devices. This will help to fix some of problems our users were having when using OBS.</li>
          <li>The code that shows the stream sample format has been improved</li>
          <li>The rnnoise library is now optional. This should help package maintainers to build a Debian package. See issue 1000 for more information.</li>
          <li>Our logs now show the source code line where the messages are being printed</li>
          <li>Bug fixes:</li>
          <li>The "enable effects" checkbox in our window was not being updated when third party programs like pavucontrol moved the stream away from our virtual devices. This should be fixed now.</li>
          <li>Fixed a crash that could happen when the maximum autogain history was changed.</li>
          <li>Avoid crashes when pw-mididump is running</li>

          <li>Our application icon is now compatible with desktops that uses QT</li>
          <li>Our blocklist code will use the application.id tag if the stream sets it</li>
          <li>In order to avoid problems with the mouse scroll the entries in the applications list shown in our Players/Recorders tab do not show a volume scale anymore. More details about the problem and the solution for it can be found on issue 1211 and issue 1427</li>
          <li>When no application is available for display in the Players/Recorders a message will be shown to the user</li>
          <li>Many translation updates</li>

          <li>Features:</li>
          <li>There is a new setting allowing the user to select an inactivity timeout for the pipeline. When no client is playing to or recording from our devices the filters will be unlinked after the timeout is reached. This is done to make sure we do not waste CPU power processing silence.</li>
          <li>The autogain plugin now allows the user to select which of the three loudness are used to calculate the geometric mean.</li>
          <li>The autogain plugin now allows the maximum history to be set and does not use libebur128 histogram mode anymore. This should avoid the cases where the Integrated loudness gets stuck forever in the same value.</li>
          <li>EasyEffects icon has been updated in a way that should make it visible in QT desktops.</li>

          <li>Features:</li>
          <li>This is one of the biggest releases that I have ever made. The amount of changes is so big that it is hard to talk about everything here.</li>
          <li>The following are just the most import ones. People interested on the journey that got us here can take a look at issue 904 and issue 874.</li>
          <li>The application and its repository have been renamed from PulseEffects to EasyEffects</li>
          <li>gtkmm3 was replaced by gtkmm4</li>
          <li>Gstreamer was replaced by native PipeWire filters.</li>
          <li>Many features were reimplemented from scratch. The preset autoloading is one example. Another remarkable change will be seen in the plugins selection menu. Now the user can show in the window only the plugins that he/she wants to use.</li>
          <li>Boost is no longer a dependency. The price paid for that was a little change in our presets structures. With some patience it is possible to edit PulseEffects presets in a text editor and make them work in EasyEffects. Hopefully someone will come up with a script for this in the feature.</li>
          <li>New libraries are being used and some of the librarires that were optional before are now required</li>
