* bugfix in escaping file names for LSCP: characters with an one digit hex
  code caused a space (i.e. "\x a" instead of "\x0a")

1 capela 491 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface

4     ChangeLog
5    
6 capela 1234 CVS HEAD
7    
8 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
9     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
10 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
11     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
12 capela 1394
13 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
14     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
15     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
16     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
17    
18 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
19     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
20     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
21    
22 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
23    
24    
25 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
26 schoenebeck 736
27 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
28     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
29     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
30    
31 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
32    
33 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
34     the session state, only at code-level.
35 capela 1036
36 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
37 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
38 capela 1016
39 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
40     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
41     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
42     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
43     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
44     corrected some tooltip text strings.
45 capela 971
46 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
47     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
48     window managers.
49    
50 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
51 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
52     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
53     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
54 capela 957
55 capela 969 * GPL address update.
56 capela 920
57    
58 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
59    
60     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
61     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
62    
63 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
64    
65 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
66     installation paths have been added to configure command
67     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
68    
69 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
70     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
71     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
72     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
73     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
74    
75     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
76     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
77     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
78     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
79    
80 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
81    
82 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
83     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
84    
85 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
86     title name prefix.
87    
88 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
89     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
90     generated at configure time.
91    
92 capela 752 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
93     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
94     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
95     argument have some effect on X11.
96    
97 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
98    
99 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
100     compiled with -no-stl.
101    
102    
103 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
104 capela 653
105 capela 661 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
106     turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
107     one, while on qjackctl).
108 capela 653
109 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
110     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
111 capela 661
112 capela 662
113 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
114 capela 586
115 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
116 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
117 capela 619
118 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
119 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
120 capela 590 info updates.
121 capela 586
122 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
123     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
124     device dialog.
125 capela 586
126 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
127    
128 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
129     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
130     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
131 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
132 capela 590
133 capela 600
134 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
135 schoenebeck 519
136 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
137 capela 426
138 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
139 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
140 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
141 capela 567
142 capela 526 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
143 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
144 capela 426
145 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
146 capela 526 an instrument.
147 capela 567
148 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
149 capela 526
150    
151 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
152 capela 327
153 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
154     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
155     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
156     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
157    
158 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
159     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
160     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
161    
162     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
163     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
164    
165 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
166    
167     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
168     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
169     change information are now also posted to messages window.
170    
171 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
172     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
173     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
174     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
175    
176 capela 395 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
177     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
178     sampler instrument file.
179    
180 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
181     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
182     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
183     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
184    
185     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
186 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
187     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
188    
189 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
190 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
191 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
192     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
193 capela 327
194    
195 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
196 capela 115
197 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
198     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
199     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
200    
201 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
202     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
203     following common user-interface guidelines.
204    
205 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
206     control structures.
207    
208 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
209    
210     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
211     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
212 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
213 capela 255
214     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
215 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
216 capela 255
217     * Minor configure fixes.
218    
219    
220     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
221    
222 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
223    
224 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
225     and on session file save.
226 capela 145
227 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
228     on create time.
229 capela 161
230 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
231    
232    
233 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
234    
235 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
236     over the empty workspace area.
237 capela 130
238 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
239     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
240     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
241     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
242    
243 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
244     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
245    
246     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
247     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
248    
249 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
250     each sampler channel strip.
251 capela 115
252 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
253     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
254    
255     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
256 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
257    
258 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
259     new sampler channel strip.
260 capela 115
261     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
262     suggested in the following lines:
263    
264     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
265     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
266     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
267     LOAD ENGINE ...
268     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
269     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
270    
271    
272 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
