* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
  the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
  (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).

* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
  with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
  running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
  up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).

8 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
9     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
10     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
11    
12     * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
13     with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
14     running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
15     up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
16    
17 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
18     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
19    
20 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
21     screwed.
22    
23 schoenebeck 1702 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
24     other frontends.
25    
26 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
27     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
28     (fixes segfault on device changes)
29    
30 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
31     main menu.
32    
33 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
34    
35 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
36    
37 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
38     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
39    
40 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
41     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
42    
43    
44 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
45 schoenebeck 1461
46 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
47     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
48     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
49    
50 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
51     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
52    
53 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
54     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
55    
56 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
57     creating a new sampler channel.
58    
59     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
60    
61 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
62     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
63     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
64     first time).
65    
66 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
67     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
68 schoenebeck 1486
69 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
70    
71 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
72     under win32.
73 schoenebeck 1493
74 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
75 schoenebeck 1461
76    
77 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
78 capela 1234
79 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
80     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
81 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
82     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
83 capela 1394
84 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
85     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
86     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
87     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
88    
89 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
90     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
91     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
92    
93 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
94    
95    
96 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
97 schoenebeck 736
98 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
99     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
100     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
101    
102 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
103    
104 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
105     the session state, only at code-level.
106 capela 1036
107 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
108 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
109 capela 1016
110 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
111     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
112     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
113     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
114     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
115     corrected some tooltip text strings.
116 capela 971
117 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
118     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
119     window managers.
120    
121 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
122 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
123     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
124     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
125 capela 957
126 capela 969 * GPL address update.
127 capela 920
128    
129 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
130    
131     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
132     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
133    
134 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
135    
136 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
137     installation paths have been added to configure command
138     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
139    
140 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
141     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
142     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
143     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
144     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
145    
146     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
147     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
148     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
149     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
150    
151 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
152    
153 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
154     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
155    
156 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
157     title name prefix.
158    
159 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
160     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
161     generated at configure time.
162    
163 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
164     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
165     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
166 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
167    
168 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
169    
170 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
171     compiled with -no-stl.
172    
173    
174 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
175 capela 653
176 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
177 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
178     one, while on qjackctl).
179 capela 653
180 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
181     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
182 capela 661
183 capela 662
184 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
185 capela 586
186 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
187 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
188 capela 619
189 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
190 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
191 capela 590 info updates.
192 capela 586
193 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
194     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
195     device dialog.
196 capela 586
197 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
198    
199 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
200     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
201     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
202 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
203 capela 590
204 capela 600
205 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
206 schoenebeck 519
207 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
208 capela 426
209 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
210 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
211 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
212 capela 567
213 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
214 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
215 capela 426
216 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
217 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
218 capela 567
219 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
220 capela 526
221    
222 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
223 capela 327
224 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
225     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
226     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
227     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
228    
229 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
230     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
231     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
232    
233     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
234     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
235    
236 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
237    
238     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
239     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
240     change information are now also posted to messages window.
241    
242 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
243     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
244     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
245     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
246    
247 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
248     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
249 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
250    
251 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
252     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
253     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
254     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
255    
256     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
257 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
258     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
259    
260 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
261 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
262 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
263     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
264 capela 327
265    
266 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
267 capela 115
268 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
269     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
270     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
271    
272 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
273     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
274     following common user-interface guidelines.
275    
276 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
277     control structures.
278    
279 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
280    
281     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
282     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
283 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
284 capela 255
285     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
286 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
287 capela 255
288     * Minor configure fixes.
289    
290    
291     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
292    
293 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
294    
295 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
296     and on session file save.
297 capela 145
298 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
299     on create time.
300 capela 161
301 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
302    
303    
304 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
305    
306 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
307     over the empty workspace area.
308 capela 130
309 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
310     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
311     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
312     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
313    
314 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
315     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
316    
317     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
318     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
319    
320 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
321     each sampler channel strip.
322 capela 115
323 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
324     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
325    
326     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
327 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
328    
329 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
330     new sampler channel strip.
331 capela 115
332     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
333     suggested in the following lines:
334    
335     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
336     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
337     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
338     LOAD ENGINE ...
339     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
340     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
341    
342    
343 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
