 This software is in *alpha status* and has no official release yet.
 
 The basic JACK APIs (client lifecycle, ports, callbacks) have been wrapped and

+are functional (see [examples]), but latency, transport and meta-data APIs still
 need wrapping. Also, symbol names may still be changed and things moved around
 before the first public release.
