Release 3.8.0 (r3_8_0)

• The term "Central server" has been replaced with "Directory server" (#1407, #1715, #1629).
  Note that the program will still accept the --centralserver option for backward
  compatibility with existing system startup scripts, but its usage is deprecated.

  We still build a legacy version with Qt 5.9.9 to support older versions of macOS:

  • Users of 10.13 (High sierra) or newer should use the standard build with Qt 5.15.2
  • Users of Yosemite, El Capitan or Sierra should use the legacy build with Qt 5.9.9

    (contributed by @dcorson-ticino-com, @pljones)

• GUI: Moved the Ping and Delay stats from the Settings window to the main window (#1762):
  This was partly to work around a Mac issue with updates to the settings window (#1643)
  and is actually an improvement anyway, as the settings window does not need to remain open.
  (contributed by @dcorson-ticino-com and @softins)

• Client: A hint regarding non-default Jack support has been added (#1397, #1438).
  (contributed by @djfun)

• Server: Support for Delay Panning has been added (#332, #567, #1151, #1417, #1744):
  This feature can be enabled on servers using the new --delaypan option.
  Enabling this feature will slightly increase server CPU usage.
  It can create a much more realistic spatial sound impression for clients
  that are set to Stereo or Mono-in/Stereo-out mode.

  Note: This breaks compatibility with client versions before 3.3.0 (Feb 2013).
  If you update your server, ensure that all clients use 3.3.0 or later as well.

Release 3.8.0rc2 (r3_8_0rc2)

• Mac: Generate build with Qt 5.15.2 for better compatibility with Big Sur (#1687, #1768).
  We still build a legacy version with Qt 5.9.9 to support older versions of macOS:

  • Users of 10.13 (High sierra) or newer should use the standard build with Qt 5.15.2
  • Users of Yosemite, El Capitan or Sierra should use the legacy build with Qt 5.9.9
    (contributed by @softins)

• Code: Added automatic code formatting with clang-format (#901, #1127).
  (contributed by @passing)

• GUI: Moved the Ping and Delay stats from the Settings window to the main window (#1762)
  This was partly to work around a Mac issue with updates to the settings window (#1643)
  and is actually an improvement anyway, as the settings window does not need to remain open.
  (contributed by @dcorson-ticino-com and @softins)

• GUI: Added "About Qt" to the help menu to display version of Qt (#1685, #1692).

  (contributed by @vimpostor)

• The term "Central server" has been replaced with "Directory server" (#1407).
  Note that the program will still accept the --centralserver option for backward
  compatibility with existing system startup scripts.
  (contributed by @pljones)

• GUI: Settings window has been reorganized into tabs (#1415, #1554, #1542):

  • User Profile window has been integrated into the settings window.
  • Input Pan has been moved to the newly created Advanced tab and removed from main window.
