Is there any advantage to getting v1.5 into trusty?
(perspective from here is that the user base for 14.10 will be small compared to 14.04

You can now modify the recording pipelines in the [Additional settings] window. Many users have wanted to change the quality options to get better sound or smaller filesize, etc. Earlier the pipelines were hard-coded in src/media-profiles.c. Now it is up to the user to add new or improve existing pipes.
Otherwise there are small bugfixes and new device management; it auto-detect new and unPlugged devices, no need for libpulse-dev, etc. Unfortunately automatic installation of missing plugins did not get ready for this version. Missing plugin functions failed in my tests. I need to learn more about it.

Some users have reported that this version of A.r fails to compile on Ubuntu 14.04. It cannot find GstDevice functions. Those functions were added to Gstreamer version 1.4. I will investigate this issue (after I have 14.04 running i VM).

Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/audio-recorder/+bug/1380043
Status: This will not be fixed in Ubuntu 14.04. Users of Ubuntu 14.04 should run the older audio-recorder 1.4.
Audio-recorder 1.5 is for Ubuntu 14.10 only

The download numbers are just awesome. You can also see that the ration of 32/64bit downloads is changing from 1:1 to 1:2 in trusty and to 1:3 in utopic. So 32bits downloads are reducing quire rapidly.

Thanks for using A.r. Go even more!
The code is probably not tampered by NSA
