New point version.

WirePlumber 0.5.18
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Additions & Enhancements:

  - Improved ``find-best-profile`` to rank profiles on the availability of
    their output routes before their priority, so that UCM cards bundling
    HDMI outputs together with speakers or headphones no longer select a
    profile whose analog output is unplugged when a monitor is connected
    (#683; !885)

  - Improved HDMI node descriptions: the monitor name is now taken from
    ``hdmi.product.name`` (set by PipeWire from the current ELD) so that it
    is correct for displays switched on after the card was set up, the
    ``alsa.name`` suffix is also shown for UCM devices, the ELD-detected
    channel layout is shown for UCM devices, and the channel suffix is added
    after ``monitor.alsa.rules`` are applied (!904, !905, !910, !912, !913)

  - Improved the ALSA node error recovery to allow at most 3 attempts per
    device (reset after 60s without errors), instead of looping forever on
    devices that keep failing after being re-opened (#1024; !908)

Fixes:

  - Fixed ``WpImplModule`` to load and destroy modules on the client
    context's thread, avoiding unsafe teardown of modules such as
    filter-chain with LV2 plugins (#1029; !917)

  - Fixed ``autoswitch-bluetooth-profile`` in several scenarios: it no longer
    gets overridden by ``EnumProfile`` triggered profile selection, a pending
    profile restore is cancelled when a headset profile is applied explicitly
    (fixing HFP capture dying shortly after starting), and filter chains
    such as EasyEffects are now correctly followed to the Bluetooth
    loopback source (#1002, #1013, #1023; !892, !897, !909, !914)

  - Fixed a failed node creation or an error raised in a Lua async event hook
    step freezing the event dispatcher, and made the v4l2 monitor advance
    its transition when a device is disabled (#1004; !894)

  - Fixed ``software-dsp`` leaking hidden parent node ids, which caused nodes
    created later with a reused id to be hidden from every new client
    (#1028; !918)

  - Fixed the linking policy to to bypass ``find-media-role-target`` for smart
    filters and to defer immediate linking for any node with a link-group,
    avoiding linking cycles when smart filters have ``media.role`` set
    (#1015; !901, !903)

  - Fixed ``prepare-link`` to destroy ``dont-reconnect`` streams when their
    target is removed, as it was done in 0.4, instead of leaving them
    unlinked forever (#1026; !915)

  - Fixed ``default-nodes`` to rank stored nodes by their position in the
    stack only, so that ``priority.session`` no longer overrides the user's
    most recent selection (#1005; !902)

  - Fixed the access scripts to activate permission managers when they load,
    so that their permissions are ready before any client connects, instead
    of letting the first short-lived client see hidden devices (#1021; !900)

  - Fixed disabling ``device.restore-profile`` at runtime, which was still
    saving profiles (!911)

  - Fixed a use-after-free in ``module-settings`` on malformed configuration,
    and also the active call count in ``module-modem-manager`` on reconnect
    (!896)

Fixed at 89a098d426.
