New point version.

WirePlumber 0.5.16
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Additions & Enhancements:

  - Added ``WpClientContext``, a second PipeWire connection running on its
    own thread that hosts WirePlumber's in-process media objects (loopback
    and filter-chain modules, ``LocalNode()``, ``SpaDevice()``), so that slow
    Lua event hooks on the main thread no longer stall their control path;
    the export core is retired in favor of this new client context (!873)

  - Added new ``WpDynamicRules`` class for matching rules with conditions,
    and updated ``filter-graph.lua`` to use it, allowing filter-graphs to be
    loaded and unloaded dynamically depending on whether other objects exist
    or not (!872)

  - Added ``wp_impl_module_unload()`` and ``LocalModule:unload()``, giving
    scripts control to unload implemented modules at any time (!881)

  - Added a ``volume-set`` action to ``module-mpris`` to allow adjusting the
    volume of a remote MPRIS2 player from Lua (!860)

  - Added ``--yes`` flag to ``wpctl reset`` to skip the confirmation prompt
    (!850)

  - Added ``device.form-factor`` ALSA node property for use in ALSA rules, and
    made HDMI node descriptions include the name of the connected display when
    available (!862, !874)

  - Refactored the Bluetooth monitor to use event hooks for handling devices
    and nodes, matching the design already used by the v4l2 and libcamera
    monitors (#916; !803)

  - Overhauled the documentation: filled in every stub and missing Lua API
    and C API page, added a getting started guide, new ``wireplumber(1)``
    and ``wpexec(1)`` man pages, and removed stale pages describing features
    renamed or removed in the 0.4 to 0.5 transition (!877)

Fixes:

  - Fixed monitors to always activate all device and node features, and made
    monitors wait for successful device activation before storing the devices
    and nodes as a managed objects (#986, #996; !883, !886, !876)

  - Fixed ``find-preferred-profile`` to skip a configured preferred profile
    that is not available, instead of leaving no profile selected
    (#993; !884)

  - Fixed ``permission-manager`` to not include destroyed globals when
    rebuilding the permissions array on ``objects-changed``, fixing some
    pipewire warnings in the log (!882, !888)

  - Fixed a memory leak in ``WpSpaDevice`` by only collecting params from
    our own requests (#988; !879)

  - Fixed ``filter-graph`` to correctly apply graphs defined for the same
    node across multiple configuration files (!870)

  - Fixed several nil-related crashes and correctness issues in Lua scripts
    (#972; !861, !864, !866, !869)

  - Improved ``apply-access`` to directly attach an already-active permission
    manager to the client instead of wastefully re-running activation on it
    (#973; !868)

  - Improved ``state-stream`` change detection to avoid spurious state
    writes from volume rounding and from unset or empty properties
    (#974; !867)

  - Fixed ``default-nodes`` to ignore smart filters when selecting the best
    default node (!857)

  - Removed the ``node.filter.forward-format`` setting and its script,
    which only worked with 0.4 and never really worked with 0.5 (!878)

Fixed at fd920cf655.
