The new version is 100% backward compatible, as a matter of fact there
were no changes in the lib's API or ABI, just a lot of fixes in the
code of the *jackd* server, which is built from the same sources.
So there would be absolutely no regression in including it in testing,
on the contrary the current version in testing is not really usable,
as its jackd daemon produces buffer overruns in many
situations. Unfortunately the upstream developers have released this
new more stable version (0.116.1) only 11 months after the version
currently in testing (0.109.2), so it was really not possible to
upload a better version before the freeze.
If needed I can ask to the upstream developers for a compatibility
statement.
Ciao!
