What's the latest version of Ardour I can build with 0.103 jack?

[Ken Restivo]

I've run into this brick wall:

http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=2274

What's the latest version of Ardour that will build and run with 0.103 JACK?

I can't risk the stability of the audio system by changing to a newer jackd that might introduce a whole bunch of bew problems or break other audio apps.

Alternately, what's the most recent STABLE version of JACK available? I see that 0.109.2 is out, but I don't see that it fixes the wait + 1 problem with certain Linux kernels (like the one I have) discussed on the JACK list.

Thanks.

pieter palmers answered this question some weeks ago:

0.106.0 aka rev 1045 should be "the one".

if not, 0.105.0 (rev 1039) is also good.


me was using 0.109.2, and it worked but not that good as 0.103.0.
as i changed using the 2.6.25.x kernels, it works good again with the
last officially jackd release.

I'm running 2.4.1 with 0.103 on my Debian Etch system.
Caveat: I'm not using -rt kernel as I've never been able to get
jackd to run with it on my hardware (dual Opteron 248), so I'm
using vanilla 2.6.20 kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

I tried 0.109.2 but clients kept zombifying at random times. That's
why I reverted to 0.103, which is stable.

recent SVN (0.112.0) is now pretty good. it could use more testing. it
certainly avoids the behaviour that crept in between 0.106 and 0.109. i
hope to do a release after some more testing.

no, there was no intention to introduce anything new, just fix up the
terrible behaviour that had been going on. so if it works well as you
start/stop clients, and run them, thats a good thing to know.

In a very short test it does not die horrible deaths when stopping
clients, but it is too early to tell.... Looks good so far! (Rui: how
does it look with your torture test?)
