AFAIK, "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, which is due to be released on April 23,
2020" ( https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/10/ubuntu-20-04-release-features
). But I'm not really sure when the freezing of the packages is done.

I think have just worked out what may be happening have you turned down the sound on your keyboard or set your key board to MIDI local off so that you can here the right or wrong sounds controlled by piano booster
I will make sure that I check again with the latest version in the
archive to see if it works. The current version available in the
archive is 0.7.0 ( https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pianobooster ), btw.
That would mean this (duplicated) line, right?
## 130 ## // Return the number of events waiting to be read from the midi device
## 131 ## int CMidiDevice::checkMidiInput()
## 132 ## {
## 133 ## if (m_selectedMidiInputDevice == 0)
## 134 ## return 0;
## 135 ##
## 136 ## m_selectedMidiInputDevice->checkMidiInput();
<---------------------------
## 137 ## return m_selectedMidiInputDevice->checkMidiInput();
## 138 ## }

It's a perfectly reasonable thing to ask and to worry about. Maybe
someone in the team knows better than me.
> I am currently reverting a few changes in 7.0 to reduce the number of build options and dependence. I would like to confirm these with your Team before I do the release. I particularly want to make the use of Jack optional and not force the users to use jack which has a difficult learning curve for new users.
I agree with your point of view. I don't think there should be any
problems, as long as it works. Does anyone else see any?
I can certainly find a few hours in my agenda to work on it, most
likely during the weekend. Is the current code already in development?
