<p style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">We
hope that Ubuntu Studio 19.04’s release has been a welcome update for
our users. As such, we are continuing our work on Ubuntu Studio with our
next release scheduled for October 17, 2019, codenamed “Eoan Ermine”.</p>
<h3 style="font-size:17.75px;line-height:19.1167px">Bug Fix for Ubuntu Studio Controls</h3>
<p style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">A
bug identified in which the ALSA-Jack MIDI bridge was not surviving a
reboot was fixed and updated in Ubuntu 19.04. As such, please make sure
all of your packages are up-to-date.</p>

<p style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">We have already done a lot of work to <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UbuntuStudioControls" style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px" target="_blank">Ubuntu Studio Controls</a> for 19.10, and as such we have several new features already landing:</p>
<ul style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px"><li style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">Multiple PulseAudio Bridges (for routing of individual applications)</li><li style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">In-Window Jack Status Indicator</li><li style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">DSP Usage Meter</li><li style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">Quick-links to QASMixer, Carla, and PulseAudio Control</li></ul>
<p style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px">These
features are currently available in Eoan Ermine’s daily ISO images.
After we have determined there has been sufficient testing (or 19.10 is
released, whichever comes first), we will backport this version of
Ubuntu Studio Controls to our <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/BackportsPPA" style="font-size:13.65px;line-height:19.1167px" target="_blank">backports PPA</a>.</p>
