6 schoenebeck 1461 CVS HEAD
7    
8 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
9     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
10    
11 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
12     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
13    
14 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
15     creating a new sampler channel.
16    
17     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
18    
19 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
20     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
21     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
22     first time).
23    
24 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
25     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
26 schoenebeck 1486
27 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
28    
29 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
30     under win32.
31 schoenebeck 1493
32 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
33 schoenebeck 1461
34    
35 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
36 capela 1234
37 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
38     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
39 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
40     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
41 capela 1394
42 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
43     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
44     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
45     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
46    
47 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
48     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
49     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
50    
51 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
52    
53    
54 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
55 schoenebeck 736
56 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
57     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
58     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
59    
60 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
61    
62 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
63     the session state, only at code-level.
64 capela 1036
65 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
66 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
67 capela 1016
68 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
69     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
70     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
71     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
72     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
73     corrected some tooltip text strings.
74 capela 971
75 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
76     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
77     window managers.
78    
79 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
80 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
81     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
82     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
83 capela 957
84 capela 969 * GPL address update.
85 capela 920
86    
87 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
88    
89     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
90     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
91    
92 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
93    
94 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
95     installation paths have been added to configure command
96     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
97    
98 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
99     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
100     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
101     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
102     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
103    
104     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
105     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
106     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
107     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
108    
109 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
110    
111 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
112     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
113    
114 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
115     title name prefix.
116    
117 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
118     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
119     generated at configure time.
120    
121 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
122     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
123     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
124 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
125    
126 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
127    
128 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
129     compiled with -no-stl.
130    
131    
132 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
133 capela 653
134 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
135 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
136     one, while on qjackctl).
137 capela 653
138 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
139     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
140 capela 661

145 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
146 capela 619
147 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
148 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
149 capela 590 info updates.
150 capela 586
151 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
152     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
153     device dialog.
154 capela 586
155 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
156    
157 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
158     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
159     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
160 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
161 capela 590
162 capela 600
163 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
164 schoenebeck 519
165 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
166 capela 426
167 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
168 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
169 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
170 capela 567
171 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
172 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
173 capela 426
174 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
175 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
176 capela 567
177 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
178 capela 526
179    
180 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
181 capela 327
182 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
183     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
184     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
185     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
186    
187 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
188     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
189     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
190    
191     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
192     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
193    
194 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
195    
196     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
197     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
198     change information are now also posted to messages window.
199    
200 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
201     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
202     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
203     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
204    
205 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
206     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
207 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
208    
209 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
210     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
211     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
212     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
213    
214     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
215 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
216     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
217    
218 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
219 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
220 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
221     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
222 capela 327
223    
224 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
225 capela 115
226 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
227     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
228     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
229    
230 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
231     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
232     following common user-interface guidelines.
233    
234 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
235     control structures.
236    
237 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
238    
239     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
240     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
241 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
242 capela 255
243     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
244 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
245 capela 255
246     * Minor configure fixes.
247    
248    
249     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
250    
251 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
252    
253 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
254     and on session file save.
255 capela 145
256 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
257     on create time.
258 capela 161
259 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
260    
261    
262 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
263    
264 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
265     over the empty workspace area.
266 capela 130
267 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
268     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
269     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
270     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
271    
272 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
273     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
274    
275     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
276     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
277    
278 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
279     each sampler channel strip.
280 capela 115
281 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
282     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
283    
284     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
285 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
286    
287 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
288     new sampler channel strip.
289 capela 115
290     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
291     suggested in the following lines:
292    
293     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
294     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
295     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
296     LOAD ENGINE ...
297     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
298     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
299
