Summary of updates from envy24control 0.6.0 (GIT HEAD) to "1.0.0":
(0) After a decade, incremented version to 1.0.0 (**) (1) Implemented missing "Peak Hold" functionality in meters and reimplemented meters for increased efficiency and lower X resource usage. (see http://www.linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lad/2010/7/12/171535 & https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602903 ) (2) All volumes are represented as decibels, including the 0 to -48dB range of the hardware peak-meters, the 0 -to- -144dB attenuation for all inputs to the digital mixer, the 0 -to- -63dB attenuation of the analog DAC, and the +18 -to- -63dB attenuation/amplification of the analog ADC. (3) All gtk "scale" widgets have dB legends; the "PageUp" "PageDown" keys allow rapid movement between the marked levels. (4) Got rid of myriad compile warnings and other minor fixes across codebase.

To the ALSA project: please consider this patch to alsa-tools' envy24control (**): http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-0.6-to-1.0.patch (patch to 'envy24control' from GIT trunk/head of alsa-tools) http://nielsmayer.com/envy24control/envy24control-1.0.README (summary of changes from 0.6.0 to 1.0.0)
Great. I'd love to merge it to the upstream tree after code review.
Could you simply post your patch(es) to alsa-devel ML (and Cc to maintainers)? Then we can check your changes.
At best, please give incremental patches containing the proper changelog and your sign-off in the patch comments to be applicable via git-am.
Also, avoid to change version numbers. If you take over the whole project, then yes, it's fine to change the major version number as you like. But, as long as the upstream is alive, this may bring much more confusion than needed.
thanks,
