+
+Changelog:
+
+- Fix a typo in `alsa_in` manpage
+- Fix source-code comments and manpage for `jack_simple_client`
+- Remove includes of non-standard `alloca.h` header
+
+As noted in the previous releases, please be aware that the JACK2 project has now stopped shipping with similar tools (as in, have them built-in).  
+See the [original jack-example-tools announcement](https://jackaudio.org/news/2022/01/15/jack-example-tools-release-1.html) for details.
