7    
8 capela 1749 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
9     size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
10     rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
11    
12 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
13     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
14     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
15    
16     * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
17     with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
18     running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
19     up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
20    
21 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
22     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
23    
24 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
25     screwed.
26    
27 schoenebeck 1702 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
28     other frontends.
29    
30 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
31     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
32     (fixes segfault on device changes)
33    
34 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
35     main menu.
36    
37 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
38    
39 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
40    
41 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
42     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
43    
44 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
45     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
46    
47    
48 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
49 schoenebeck 1461
50 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
51     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
52     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
53    
54 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
55     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
56    
57 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
58     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
59    
60 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
61     creating a new sampler channel.
62    
63     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
64    
65 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
66     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
67     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
68     first time).
69    
70 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
71     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
72 schoenebeck 1486
73 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
74    
75 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
76     under win32.
77 schoenebeck 1493
78 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
79 schoenebeck 1461
80    
81 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
82 capela 1234
83 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
84     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
85 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
86     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
87 capela 1394
88 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
89     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
90     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
91     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
92    
93 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
94     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
95     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
96    
97 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
98    
99    
100 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
101 schoenebeck 736
102 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
103     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
104     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
105    
106 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
107    
108 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
109     the session state, only at code-level.
110 capela 1036
111 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
112 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
113 capela 1016
114 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
115     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
116     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
117     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
118     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
119     corrected some tooltip text strings.
120 capela 971
121 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
122     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
123     window managers.
124    
125 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
126 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
127     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
128     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
129 capela 957
130 capela 969 * GPL address update.
131 capela 920
132    
133 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
134    
135     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
136     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
137    
138 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
139    
140 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
141     installation paths have been added to configure command
142     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
143    
144 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
145     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
146     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
147     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
148     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
149    
150     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
151     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
152     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
153     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
154    
155 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
156    
157 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
158     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
159    
160 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
161     title name prefix.
162    
163 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
164     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
165     generated at configure time.
166    
167 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
168     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
169     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
170 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
171    
172 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
173    
174 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
175     compiled with -no-stl.
176    
177    
178 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
179 capela 653
180 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
181 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
182     one, while on qjackctl).
183 capela 653
184 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
185     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
186 capela 661
187 capela 662

191 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
192 capela 619
193 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
194 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
195 capela 590 info updates.
196 capela 586
197 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
198     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
199     device dialog.
200 capela 586
201 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
202    
203 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
204     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
205     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
206 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
207 capela 590
208 capela 600
209 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
210 schoenebeck 519
211 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
212 capela 426
213 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
214 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
215 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
216 capela 567
217 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
218 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
219 capela 426
220 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
221 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
222 capela 567
223 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
224 capela 526
225    
226 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
227 capela 327
228 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
229     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
230     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
231     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
232    
233 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
234     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
235     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
236    
237     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
238     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
239    
240 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
241    
242     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
243     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
244     change information are now also posted to messages window.
245    
246 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
247     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
248     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
249     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
250    
251 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
252     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
253 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
254    
255 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
256     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
257     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
258     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
259    
260     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
261 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
262     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
263    
264 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
265 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
266 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
267     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
268 capela 327
269    
270 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
271 capela 115
272 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
273     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
274     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
275    
276 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
277     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
278     following common user-interface guidelines.
279    
280 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
281     control structures.
282    
283 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
284    
285     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
286     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
287 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
288 capela 255
289     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
290 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
291 capela 255
292     * Minor configure fixes.
293    
294    
295     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
296    
297 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
298    
299 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
300     and on session file save.
301 capela 145
302 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
303     on create time.
304 capela 161
305 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
306    
307    
308 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
309    
310 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
311     over the empty workspace area.
312 capela 130
313 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
314     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
315     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
316     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
317    
318 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
319     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
320    
321     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
322     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
323    
324 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
325     each sampler channel strip.
326 capela 115
327 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
328     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
329    
330     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
331 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
332    
333 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
334     new sampler channel strip.
335 capela 115
336     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
337     suggested in the following lines:
338    
339     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
340     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
341     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
342     LOAD ENGINE ...
343     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
344     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
345    
346    
347 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
