minor issues with vertical line number bar + (which was editable, selectable and incorrectly displayed on new scripts). + * Translation Fix: MacroEditor.cpp and MacrosSetup.cpp were not under + translation control. + * Spelling fixes (patch provided by Debian maintainer Jaromír Mikeš). + * Added new main menu item "View" -> "Tooltips for Beginners" which allows + to disable tooltips intended for newbies only (default: on). + * Extended support for keyboard function keys up to F19. + * List assigned scripts as colored tooltip when hovering mouse over the + "Scripts" column in the instruments list. + +Version 1.1.0 (2017-11-25) + + * allow building with G/GDK/GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED + * fixed building without linuxsampler on Mac + * fixed some compiler and cppcheck warnings + * synthesis paremeter page tabs are now scrollable (fixes an issue with + GTK 3: default theme uses huge tabs which breaks the overall layout on + average window sizes) + * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to + auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color. + * NKSP Editor: Added support for liblinuxsampler's NKSP syntax + highlighting backend. + * Script Editor: Some color tweaks (using now same text colors as on + the NKSP refrence documentation website). + * Script Editor: Added support for liblinuxsampler's NKSP parser + backend for displaying parser errors and warnings directly within + the source code. + * User settings are now automatically saved and restored. + * Automatically save & restore window size and position. + * Script Editor: Show precise parser error/warning messages as tooltip + when the mouse points over the respective location in the script's + source code. + * Script Editor: Show a question dialog to the user when the editor is + to be closed and the script changes have not been applied yet. + * Script Editor: Added status bar at the bottom of the script editor + window showing the amount (if any) of errors and warnings. + * Script Editor: Added menu bar and two initial entries: "Apply" (Ctrl-S) + and "Close" (Ctrl-Q). + * Script Editor: if editor is used in live-mode, inform the sampler that + it needs to automatically reload the script after the script has been + altered and applied with the script editor. + * Added setting to main menu "View" -> "Auto Restore Window Dimension" + (disabled by default since it causes issues on some machines). + * Fixed crash after changing a dimension type with the dimension manager + dialog. + * Script Editor: Fixed editor which did not appear on some systems due + to missing icons (using now lists of alternative icon names). + * Script Editor: Added "Font Size ..." selection to editor's menu. + * Script Editor: Fixed crash on Ctrl + A, followed by Del. + * fixed crash when opening dimension manager dialolg multiple times + (and i.e. adding or removing dimensions each time) + * Show sample group name and CRC-32 checksum on "Sample" tab. + * Show instrument index number on instruments list view. + * Added multi-row selection support on samples tree view. + * Added multi-row selection support on instruments list view. + * windows, 32-bit: fixed crashes by making sure the stack in sub + threads is 16-byte aligned + * windows: look for the data directory in the parent of the dll + directory, if the dll directory is called "32" or "64" + * Implemented resizing multiple dimension region zones at once, which is + controlled by the infamous checkbox trio "all regions", + "all dimension splits" and "both channels". + * Implemented deleting dimension region zones of all regions at once, which + is controlled by checkbox "all regions". + * Implemented splitting up dimension region zones of all regions at once, + which is controlled by checkbox "all regions". + * Show graphical symbol on region that uses loop(s). + * Show graphical symbol on region that misses sample reference(s). + * Fixed crash on saving file if a sample was requested to be replaced twice + by the user. + * Implemented fast navigation through regions by keyboard accelerator + Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right (on Mac: Cmd+Left and Cmd+Right). + * Implemented fast navigation through dimension region zones of currently + selected region by keyboard accelerator Alt+Left, Alt+Right, Alt+Up, + Alt+Down, as well as simply using the arrow keys alone if the dimension + region chooser got focus (i.e. when it was selected by mouse previously). + * Color tweaking on selected regions and selected dimension zones. + * Dimension Region Chooser: Show main selected case in opaque blue color + (like before), but all other selected dimension zones with a blue hatched + pattern instead. + * Dimension Region Chooser: Show the label of the currently selected + dimension in bold font. + * Implemented selecting multiple dimension region zones by keyboard with + keyboard accelerators Alt+Shift+Left and Alt+Shift+Right. + * Implemented copy & paste of DimensionRegion (with Alt+c and Alt+v). + * Dimension Region Chooser: Mark all zones auto selected by check box trio + with gray hatched pattern. + * Region Chooser: Mark all regions which are auto selected by check box + "All Regions" with gray hatched pattern. + * Introduced "Macro Editor" for adjusting clipboard content before applying + it (accessible via Alt+x). + * Introduced configurable list of macros which are auto assigned to keyboard + accelerators (F1 ... F12) and saved along with the app's config file. + * Macro Editor: Fixed deleting rows when delete button was hit without Ctrl + being pressed. + * Macro Editor: Show combo box with textual options for enum types. + * "Macro" main menu section: show macro comments as tooltip. + * Macro Editor: Display demangled C++ type names. + * Macros Setup: Implemented cloning of macros. + * Live mode performance optimization: fixed the editor to be non-responsive + for a very long time, which happened if changing instrument parameters of a + very large amount of dimension regions was requested. + * Macro Editor: Handle boolean parameter types appropriately, i.e. show + 'Yes' or 'NO' instead of '1' or '0'. + * GTK3: Bringing back icons and keyboard accelerators / mnemonics for menus + and buttons with GTK3; Cudos to those GTK heros who thought it might be + a clever idea to simply remove such features for all users, all devices + and all apps by default with GTK3! + * Autoconf: check for presence of at least gtk+-2.0-dev. + * Instruments list view: show amount of real-time instruments scripts used + by instrument. + * Script Editor: Fixed Gtk crash while entering a variety of ill formed code + like unterminated string literals. + * Assigned more useful default dimensions (and default position) for various + windows and dialogs (if auto-restore of user's own custom window + dimensions is disabled). + * Mac fix: Make sure app window appears in front of all other apps. + * Script Editor: only if compiled without liblinuxsampler; added support for + new NKSP language keyword "synchronized". + * Script Editor: strike through code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor. + * Combine Tool: Show instruments' index number in the list view. + * Combine Tool: Now it allows to select the instruments to be combined + already in the main window's instruments list view; then either call the + combine instrument dialog from the main menu or use the new keyboard + shortcut Ctrl + j. + * Combine Tool: Added a vertical list which represents the order of the + selected instruments to be combined; dragging them modifies their order. + * Combine Tool: After returning from the combine tool dialog, automatically + scroll to the newly added (combined) instrument. + * Draw icons on individual dimension region zones, similar to the icons + already been drawn on regions. + * Fixed loop and sample reference icons being displayed incorrectly sometimes, + because unused dimension regions were not ignored. + * Script Editor: Show line numbers. + * Script Editor: Right aligned line numbers. + * Script Editor: Fixed font readability issue on Mac. + * Added EG state machine options for EG1 and EG2, which may be used to + configure whether the individual EG stages may be cancelled. + * Fix: after the combine instruments dialog, the new instrument was not + correctly displayed by the GUI as being selected. + * Fix: automatically reload instrument after script slots have been modified. + * Combine Tool: OK button has focus now by default to quickly combine + instruments by pressing Return key. + * Added keyboard accelerators Shift+F1 to Shift+F12 for quick assigning + a script to the currently selected instrument, and an appropriate + additional menu "Instruments" -> "Assign Script". + * Added keyboard accelerators Ctrl + Arrow Down and Ctrl + Arrow Up for + switching between instruments. + * Added search filter field which allows to quickly filter the instrument + list by case insensitive search tokens. + * Fix: navigating between dimension zones by keyboard did sometimes not + work after switching from an instrument with different dimension types. + * Fix: Sample references view dialog had some odd behaviors, like it did not + respond to mouse scroll events for instance. + * Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch". + * Raised max. pitchbend range to 48 semi tones. + * Added experimental support for upcoming GTK(MM)4 + (for now up to GTKMM 3.91.2 while still preserving backward compatibility + down to GTKMM 2). + * Re-merged r2845 to compile now with and without Gtk "Stock ID" API + (see also r3158). + * Visual cosmetics on Gtk 3. + * Script Editor: Use consistent font size on all screens and DPI settings. + +Version 1.0.0 (2015-07-17) + * minor fix in configure for cross-compiling * minor Makefile fix for parallel make * use Cairo instead of deprecated gdk drawing primitives @@ -45,6 +213,82 @@ * added tooltips to instruments tree view and samples tree view * added various tooltips and adjusted some labels on the region settings pane + * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: only a small set of possible MIDI controllers + was selectable for EG1 controller, EG2 controller and attenuation + controller (and no CC number was shown in the combo box). Obviously the + additional MIDI controllers can only be used with LinuxSampler, they would + not work with Gigasampler/GigaStudio. A warning message will be shown + though whenever somebody tries to use one of those extension controllers. + * Combine instruments: a new feature that allows to merge a selection of + instruments to one new single instrument. It uses the 'layer' dimension + to stack up the instruments. This feature is available from the main menu + under 'Tools' -> 'Combine Instruments'. + * Dimension zone amount: Support for increasing and decreasing the amount of + dimension zones by right clicking on the respective zone and either + selecting "delete" or "split" in the popup menu. + * Combine instruments: generalized this tool to allow combining instruments + based on any dimension, not only the 'layer' dimension. + * 'Dimension Manager' dialog: show dialog window with at least 460x300px on + initial usage (was far too small by default). + * File Property Dialog: allow viewing and altering the Giga file format + version (by combo box). + * 'Dimension Manager' dialog: added support for viewing and editing + dimensions of all regions simultaniously. + * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added support for managing and editing + real-time instrument scripts. Instrument scripts are a LinuxSampler + extension of the original Giga format and will not load with the + GigaStudio software. + * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added support for managing script slots for + instruments. Script slots define which scripts shall be executed for an + instrument by the sampler and in which order. + * Samples tree view on main window: display the amount of references for + each sample and show the respective sample in gray color in case it is not + referenced at all. + * Samples tree view: implemented sample reference browser, which shows a + tree with all instruments and their respective regions which reference the + selected sample once ore more. + * Restructured main menu: duplicated all popup menus to the main menu, + automatically switch to the right tree view tab when either selecting the + "Sample", "Instrument" or "Script" main menu entry. + * Dimension Region Selector: implemented multi zone selection by press and + hold CTRL key. + * Dimension Region Selector: show bottom and upper limit values for all + dimension zones, not just the currently selected ones. + * Dimension Region Selector: Fixed drawing issues when zone sizes were + altered by mouse drag and labels being displayed at wrong positions. + * Region Chooser: Double click opens dimension manager dialog. + * Dimension Manager: Clicking on dimension type cell of an existing dimension + opens a popup to alter the dimension type. + * Script Tree: Double click opens script editor. + * Fixed potential crash if exception was thrown while opening a gig file. + * Added support for visual progress bar while saving a gig file. + * Automatically switch the sampler's (audible) instrument whenever another + instrument was selected in gigedit (this default behavior can be switched + off in the settings menu of gigedit). + * Dimension Region Editor: Show coarse sample format info (audio channels, + bit depth, sample rate) and unique sample ID (since the gig format allows + different samples to have the same name). + * Dimension Region Editor: Added button "Select Sample" on the sample tab, + which allows to conveniently select the dimension region's sample on the + left hand side's samples tree view. + * Sample Referenve View Dialog: Clicking on a reference in the list closes + the dialog and jumps directly to the respective instrument, region and + dimension region the respective sample reference is located at. + * Fixed instruments, samples and scripts to appear twice after save. + * Implemented reordering of instruments by drag & drop. + * Implemented replacing of existing samples. + * Added "X" button next to sample reference field, which allows to remove + the current sample reference, allowing to create a "silent case" where + no sample shall be played. + * Fixed file name disappearing from title bar on certain actions. + * Added new menu item "View"->"Refresh All". + * Added new menu item "Samples"->"Remove Unused Samples". + * Region Chooser: when moving a region around automatically move the + keyboard position dependent pitch accordingly (can be turned off with + "Settings"->"Move root key with region moved"). + * Added option to main menu for performing "Save" operation with a + tempoary file (may perform faster than directly modifying existing + .gig file).
