7    
8 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
9    
10 capela 1749 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
11     size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
12     rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
13    
14 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
15     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
16     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
17    
18     * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
19     with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
20     running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
21     up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
22    
23 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
24     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
25    
26 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
27     screwed.
28    
29 schoenebeck 1702 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
30     other frontends.
31    
32 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
33     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
34     (fixes segfault on device changes)
35    
36 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
37     main menu.
38    
39 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
40    
41 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
42    
43 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
44     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
45    
46 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
47     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
48    
49    
50 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
51 schoenebeck 1461
52 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
53     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
54     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
55    
56 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
57     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
58    
59 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
60     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
61    
62 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
63     creating a new sampler channel.
64    
65     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
66    
67 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
68     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
69     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
70     first time).
71    
72 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
73     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
74 schoenebeck 1486
75 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
76    
77 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
78     under win32.
79 schoenebeck 1493
80 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
81 schoenebeck 1461
82    
83 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
84 capela 1234
85 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
86     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
87 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
88     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
89 capela 1394
90 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
91     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
92     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
93     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
94    
95 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
96     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
97     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
98    
99 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
100    
101    
102 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
103 schoenebeck 736
104 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
105     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
106     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
107    
108 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
109    
110 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
111     the session state, only at code-level.
112 capela 1036
113 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
114 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
115 capela 1016
116 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
117     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
118     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
119     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
120     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
121     corrected some tooltip text strings.
122 capela 971
123 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
124     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
125     window managers.
126    
127 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
128 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
129     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
130     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
131 capela 957
132 capela 969 * GPL address update.
133 capela 920
134    
135 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
136    
137     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
138     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
139    
140 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
141    
142 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
143     installation paths have been added to configure command
144     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
145    
146 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
147     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
148     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
149     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
150     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
151    
152     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
153     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
154     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
155     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
156    
157 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
158    
159 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
160     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
161    
162 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
163     title name prefix.
164    
165 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
166     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
167     generated at configure time.
168    
169 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
170     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
171     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
172 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
173    
174 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
175    
176 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
177     compiled with -no-stl.
178    
179    
180 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
181 capela 653
182 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
183 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
184     one, while on qjackctl).
185 capela 653
186 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
187     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
188 capela 661
189 capela 662
190 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
191 capela 586
192 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
193 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
194 capela 619
195 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
196 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
197 capela 590 info updates.
198 capela 586
199 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
200     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
201     device dialog.
202 capela 586
203 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
204    
205 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
206     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
207     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
208 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
209 capela 590
210 capela 600
211 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
212 schoenebeck 519
213 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
214 capela 426
215 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
216 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
217 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
218 capela 567
219 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
220 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
221 capela 426
222 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
223 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
224 capela 567
225 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
226 capela 526
227    
228 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
229 capela 327
230 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
231     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
232     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
233     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
234    
235 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
236     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
237     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
238    
239     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
240     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
241    
242 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
243    
244     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
245     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
246     change information are now also posted to messages window.
247    
248 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
249     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
250     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
251     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
252    
253 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
254     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
255 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
256    
257 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
258     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
259     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
260     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
261    
262     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
263 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
264     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
265    
266 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
267 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
268 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
269     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
270 capela 327
271    
272 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
273 capela 115
274 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
275     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
276     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
277    
278 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
279     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
280     following common user-interface guidelines.
281    
282 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
283     control structures.
284    
285 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
286    
287     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
288     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
289 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
290 capela 255
291     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
292 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
293 capela 255
294     * Minor configure fixes.
295    
296    
297     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
298    
299 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
300    
301 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
302     and on session file save.
303 capela 145
304 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
305     on create time.
306 capela 161
307 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
308    
309    
310 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
311    
312 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
313     over the empty workspace area.
314 capela 130
315 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
316     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
317     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
318     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
319    
320 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
321     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
322    
323     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
324     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
325    
326 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
327     each sampler channel strip.
328 capela 115
329 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
330     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
331    
332     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
333 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
334    
335 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
336     new sampler channel strip.
337 capela 115
338     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
339     suggested in the following lines:
340    
341     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
342     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
343     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
344     LOAD ENGINE ...
345     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
346     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
347    
348    
349 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
