Jamulus 3.9.1 Release Candidate 1 (release announcement candidate)

[pljones]

Jamulus 3.9.1 Release Candidate 1 is now available.

Subject to any blocking problems, we'll move to a final release shortly, hopefully within a week.

Mac users: you'll now find the Intel (non-legacy) and Apple Silicon builds have been merged into a single downloadable Universal dmg file.

Debian, etc users: you'll now find there's an arm64 build to join the armhf and amd64 builds. Also, please note that the "headless" build filename has changed (jamulus-headless rather than jamulus_headless).

As of this release, we've enabled our team of translators to use Hosted Weblate. If you'd always wanted to get involved with Jamulus development but felt it was all far too technical, this might be a way you can help, as it simplifies the translation process a lot.

People running servers will benefit from the enhanced handling of --serverinfo: you can now use two-letter ISO country codes (rather than internal Qt numbering).

This release was intended to be a "quick fixes" release, so addresses several bugs we'd had reported.

• Sometimes, a newly connected client wouldn't show up in an already connected client's GUI. That's been fixed.
• If you used --ctrlmidich in 3.9.0 and earlier, this caused the channel number to get stored in the fader name in settings (and saved faders). This no longer happens.
  Note that, by default, any saved values will not be corrected - this only needs doing once. If you want to clean up, please run with --cleanuplegacyfadersettings, load/save any stored files and exit the application. (As this does a pattern match, you need to be aware it will strip anything that looks like the channel prefix from the fader name. We will remove this feature in a future release)
• If you're running a Server, 3.9.0 introduced support for Qt6 country codes - but didn't get it right. This has now been corrected. If you'd used the workaround for your server configuration, you'll need to revert it. Even better, take advantage of the ISO codes.
• In 3.9.0, a refactoring change had meant you'd need to use --serverpublicip to specify the directory public IP and, if you didn't specify it, you'd appear in your directory listing as having 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. This has been fixed.

You can find more details in the ChangeLog. Thanks to everyone who has contributed:
