7    
8 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
9     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
10    
11 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
12     screwed.
13    
14 schoenebeck 1702 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
15     other frontends.
16    
17 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
18     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
19     (fixes segfault on device changes)
20    
21 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
22     main menu.
23    
24 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
25    
26 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
27    
28 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
29     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
30    
31 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
32     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
33    
34    
35 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
36 schoenebeck 1461
37 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
38     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
39     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
40    
41 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
42     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
43    
44 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
45     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
46    
47 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
48     creating a new sampler channel.
49    
50     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
51    
52 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
53     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
54     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
55     first time).
56    
57 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
58     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
59 schoenebeck 1486
60 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
61    
62 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
63     under win32.
64 schoenebeck 1493
65 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
66 schoenebeck 1461
67    
68 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
69 capela 1234
70 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
71     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
72 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
73     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
74 capela 1394
75 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
76     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
77     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
78     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
79    
80 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
81     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
82     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
83    
84 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
85    
86    
87 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
88 schoenebeck 736
89 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
90     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
91     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
92    
93 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
94    
95 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
96     the session state, only at code-level.
97 capela 1036
98 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
99 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
100 capela 1016
101 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
102     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
103     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
104     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
105     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
106     corrected some tooltip text strings.
107 capela 971
108 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
109     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
110     window managers.
111    
112 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
113 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
114     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
115     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
116 capela 957
117 capela 969 * GPL address update.
118 capela 920
119    
120 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
121    
122     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
123     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
124    
125 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
126    
127 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
128     installation paths have been added to configure command
129     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
130    
131 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
132     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
133     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
134     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
135     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
136    
137     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
138     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
139     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
140     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
141    
142 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
143    
144 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
145     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
146    
147 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
148     title name prefix.
149    
150 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
151     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
152     generated at configure time.
153    
154 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
155     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
156     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
157 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
158    
159 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
160    
161 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
162     compiled with -no-stl.
163    
164    
165 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
166 capela 653
167 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
168 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
169     one, while on qjackctl).
170 capela 653
171 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
172     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
173 capela 661

178 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
179 capela 619
180 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
181 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
182 capela 590 info updates.
183 capela 586
184 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
185     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
186     device dialog.
187 capela 586
188 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
189    
190 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
191     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
192     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
193 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
194 capela 590
195 capela 600
196 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
197 schoenebeck 519
198 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
199 capela 426
200 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
201 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
202 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
203 capela 567
204 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
205 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
206 capela 426
207 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
208 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
209 capela 567
210 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
211 capela 526
212    
213 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
214 capela 327
215 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
216     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
217     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
218     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
219    
220 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
221     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
222     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
223    
224     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
225     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
226    
227 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
228    
229     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
230     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
231     change information are now also posted to messages window.
232    
233 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
234     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
235     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
236     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
237    
238 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
239     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
240 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
241    
242 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
243     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
244     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
245     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
246    
247     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
248 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
249     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
250    
251 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
252 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
253 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
254     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
255 capela 327
256    
257 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
258 capela 115
259 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
260     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
261     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
262    
263 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
264     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
265     following common user-interface guidelines.
266    
267 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
268     control structures.
269    
270 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
271    
272     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
273     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
274 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
275 capela 255
276     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
277 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
278 capela 255
279     * Minor configure fixes.
280    
281    
282     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
283    
284 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
285    
286 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
287     and on session file save.
288 capela 145
289 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
290     on create time.
291 capela 161
292 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
293    
294    
295 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
296    
297 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
298     over the empty workspace area.
299 capela 130
300 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
301     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
302     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
303     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
304    
305 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
306     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
307    
308     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
309     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
310    
311 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
312     each sampler channel strip.
313 capela 115
314 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
315     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
316    
317     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
318 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
319    
320 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
321     new sampler channel strip.
322 capela 115
323     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
324     suggested in the following lines:
325    
326     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
327     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
328     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
329     LOAD ENGINE ...
330     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
331     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
332    
333    
334 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
