7    
8 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
9     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
10    
11 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
12     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
13    
14    
15 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
16 schoenebeck 1461
17 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
18     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
19     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
20    
21 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
22     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
23    
24 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
25     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
26    
27 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
28     creating a new sampler channel.
29    
30     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
31    
32 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
33     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
34     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
35     first time).
36    
37 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
38     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
39 schoenebeck 1486
40 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
41    
42 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
43     under win32.
44 schoenebeck 1493
45 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
46 schoenebeck 1461
47    
48 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
49 capela 1234
50 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
51     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
52 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
53     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
54 capela 1394
55 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
56     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
57     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
58     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
59    
60 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
61     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
62     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
63    
64 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
65    
66    
67 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
68 schoenebeck 736
69 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
70     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
71     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
72    
73 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
74    
75 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
76     the session state, only at code-level.
77 capela 1036
78 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
79 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
80 capela 1016
81 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
82     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
83     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
84     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
85     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
86     corrected some tooltip text strings.
87 capela 971
88 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
89     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
90     window managers.
91    
92 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
93 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
94     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
95     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
96 capela 957
97 capela 969 * GPL address update.
98 capela 920
99    
100 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
101    
102     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
103     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
104    
105 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
106    
107 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
108     installation paths have been added to configure command
109     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
110    
111 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
112     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
113     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
114     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
115     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
116    
117     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
118     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
119     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
120     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
121    
122 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
123    
124 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
125     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
126    
127 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
128     title name prefix.
129    
130 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
131     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
132     generated at configure time.
133    
134 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
135     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
136     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
137 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
138    
139 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
140    
141 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
142     compiled with -no-stl.
143    
144    
145 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
146 capela 653
147 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
148 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
149     one, while on qjackctl).
150 capela 653
151 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
152     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
153 capela 661

158 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
159 capela 619
160 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
161 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
162 capela 590 info updates.
163 capela 586
164 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
165     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
166     device dialog.
167 capela 586
168 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
169    
170 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
171     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
172     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
173 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
174 capela 590
175 capela 600
176 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
177 schoenebeck 519
178 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
179 capela 426
180 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
181 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
182 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
183 capela 567
184 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
185 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
186 capela 426
187 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
188 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
189 capela 567
190 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
191 capela 526
192    
193 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
194 capela 327
195 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
196     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
197     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
198     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
199    
200 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
201     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
202     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
203    
204     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
205     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
206    
207 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
208    
209     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
210     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
211     change information are now also posted to messages window.
212    
213 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
214     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
215     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
216     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
217    
218 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
219     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
220 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
221    
222 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
223     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
224     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
225     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
226    
227     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
228 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
229     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
230    
231 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
232 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
233 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
234     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
235 capela 327
236    
237 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
238 capela 115
239 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
240     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
241     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
242    
243 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
244     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
245     following common user-interface guidelines.
246    
247 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
248     control structures.
249    
250 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
251    
252     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
253     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
254 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
255 capela 255
256     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
257 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
258 capela 255
259     * Minor configure fixes.
260    
261    
262     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
263    
264 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
265    
266 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
267     and on session file save.
268 capela 145
269 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
270     on create time.
271 capela 161
272 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
273    
274    
275 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
276    
277 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
278     over the empty workspace area.
279 capela 130
280 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
281     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
282     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
283     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
284    
285 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
286     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
287    
288     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
289     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
290    
291 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
292     each sampler channel strip.
293 capela 115
294 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
295     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
296    
297     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
298 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
299    
300 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
301     new sampler channel strip.
302 capela 115
303     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
304     suggested in the following lines:
305    
306     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
307     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
308     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
309     LOAD ENGINE ...
310     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
311     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
312    
313    
314 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
