1 capela 491 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 capela 109 ------------------------------------------

4     ChangeLog
5    
6 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
7 schoenebeck 1461
8 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
9     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
10     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
11    
12 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
13     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
14    
15 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
16     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
17    
18 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
19     creating a new sampler channel.
20    
21     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
22    
23 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
24     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
25     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
26     first time).
27    
28 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
29     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
30 schoenebeck 1486
31 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
32    
33 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
34     under win32.
35 schoenebeck 1493
36 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
37 schoenebeck 1461
38    
39 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
40 capela 1234
41 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
42     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
43 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
44     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
45 capela 1394
46 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
47     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
48     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
49     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
50    
51 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
52     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
53     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
54    
55 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
56    
57    
58 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
59 schoenebeck 736
60 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
61     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
62     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
63    
64 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
65    
66 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
67     the session state, only at code-level.
68 capela 1036
69 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
70 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
71 capela 1016
72 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
73     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
74     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
75     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
76     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
77     corrected some tooltip text strings.
78 capela 971
79 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
80     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
81     window managers.
82    
83 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
84 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
85     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
86     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
87 capela 957
88 capela 969 * GPL address update.
89 capela 920
90    
91 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
92    
93     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
94     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
95    
96 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
97    
98 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
99     installation paths have been added to configure command
100     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
101    
102 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
103     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
104     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
105     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
106     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
107    
108     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
109     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
110     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
111     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
112    
113 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
114    
115 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
116     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
117    
118 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
119     title name prefix.
120    
121 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
122     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
123     generated at configure time.
124    
125 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
126     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
127     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
128 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
129    
130 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
131    
132 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
133     compiled with -no-stl.
134    
135    
136 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
137 capela 653
138 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
139 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
140     one, while on qjackctl).
141 capela 653
142 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
143     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
144 capela 661
145 capela 662
146 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.

149 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
150 capela 619
151 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
152 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
153 capela 590 info updates.
154 capela 586
155 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
156     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
157     device dialog.
158 capela 586
159 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
160    
161 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
162     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
163     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
164 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
165 capela 590
166 capela 600
167 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
168 schoenebeck 519
169 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
170 capela 426
171 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
172 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
173 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
174 capela 567
175 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
176 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
177 capela 426
178 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
179 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
180 capela 567
181 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
182 capela 526
183    
184 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
185 capela 327
186 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
187     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
188     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
189     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
190    
191 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
192     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
193     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
194    
195     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
196     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
197    
198 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
199    
200     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
201     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
202     change information are now also posted to messages window.
203    
204 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
205     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
206     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
207     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
208    
209 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
210     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
211 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
212    
213 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
214     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
215     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
216     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
217    
218     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
219 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
220     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
221    
222 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
223 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
224 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
225     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
226 capela 327
227    
228 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
229 capela 115
230 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
231     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
232     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
233    
234 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
235     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
236     following common user-interface guidelines.
237    
238 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
239     control structures.
240    
241 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
242    
243     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
244     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
245 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
246 capela 255
247     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
248 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
249 capela 255
250     * Minor configure fixes.
251    
252    
253     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
254    
255 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
256    
257 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
258     and on session file save.
259 capela 145
260 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
261     on create time.
262 capela 161
263 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
264    
265    
266 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
267    
268 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
269     over the empty workspace area.
270 capela 130
271 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
272     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
273     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
274     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
275    
276 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
277     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
278    
279     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
280     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
281    
282 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
283     each sampler channel strip.
284 capela 115
285 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
286     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
287    
288     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
289 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
290    
291 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
292     new sampler channel strip.
293 capela 115
294     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
295     suggested in the following lines:
296    
297     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
298     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
299     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
300     LOAD ENGINE ...
301     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
302     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
303    
304    
305 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
