    v4 v5  
    33There has been some confusion with regard to the versioning of Uniaud release candidates and supplementary modules. This page shall attempt to address those concerns.
    44
    5 == 1.1.4 (Trunk) ==
     5== 2.0 (trunk) ==
    66
    7 This is a the base Uniaud driver. The current level is 1.1.4 RC6, on the way to 1.1.4 GA (General Availability, or a "release" build). All other 1.1.4 builds have been alpha, beta, gamma, or release candidates, and as such, should be considered "under test" and not final quality.
     7The development based upon the very latest ALSA, ported by Paul Smedley, is the best-supported option. Available from his [http://download.smedley.info download page], these are labeled uniaud32-hda-1.0.x.zip, uniaud32-alsa-1.0.x.zip, or uniaud32-1.9.x. Ultimately, these will lead to Uniaud 2.0, hopefully with hardware support and functionality on par with the [http://www.alsa.com ALSA Project].
     8
     9== 1.1.4 (1.1.x Branch) ==
     10
     11The legacy release 1.1.4 RC7 marked the end of HDA support in the 1.1.x branch because it proved so troublesome in 1.1.4 previously. This was once considered the "most stable" branch of development, but with improvements in Paul's development above, interest in it is declining. If you have better results with 1.1.4RC7 than with 1.9.x and would like to see further fixes to this branch, please let us know. Otherwise it may be dead-ended to concentrate on 2.0 exclusively.
    812
    913== 1.2.0 (Resync Branch) ==
    1014
    11 These are "ALSA Resync" builds, in an attempt to gradually resynchronize and merge in code from ALSA versions 0.9.0-1.0.4. More information on these may be found on the [AlsaResync ALSA Resync] page.
     15These were a more incremental attempt to resynchronize and merge in code to the 1.1.4 codebase from ALSA versions 0.9.0-1.0.4, aimed at preserving previous development. As with 1.1.x, its fate is uncertain. More information on these may be found on the [AlsaResync ALSA Resync] page.
    1216
    13 == 2.0 (HDA Branch) ==
    14 
    15 These are experimental builds of uniaud32.sys based upon newer ALSA versions and supporting HDA. Paul Smedley has produced these, and they are available from his [http://download.smedley.info download page]. These will be labeled uniaud32-hda-1.0.x.zip, uniaud32-alsa-1.0.x.zip, or uniaud32-1.9.x. Ultimately, these will lead into Uniaud 2.0, hopefully with hardware support on par with the [http://www.alsa.com ALSA Project].

    17 To better understand the direction of Uniaud insofar as its synchronization with ALSA is concerned, please see our [PlanToRemoveAlsaCode plan to remove ALSA code], which outlines a strategy for making Uniaud more modular, easier to build, and more cooperative with newer ALSA versions as they become available.
