7    
8 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
9    
10 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
11    
12 capela 1749 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
13     size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
14     rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
15    
16 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
17     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
18     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
19    
20     * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
21     with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
22     running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
23     up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
24    
25 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
26     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
27    
28 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
29     screwed.
30    
31 schoenebeck 1702 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
32     other frontends.
33    
34 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
35     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
36     (fixes segfault on device changes)
37    
38 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
39     main menu.
40    
41 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
42    
43 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
44    
45 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
46     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
47    
48 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
49     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
50    
51    
52 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
53 schoenebeck 1461
54 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
55     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
56     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
57    
58 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
59     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
60    
61 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
62     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
63    
64 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
65     creating a new sampler channel.
66    
67     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
68    
69 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
70     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
71     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
72     first time).
73    
74 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
75     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
76 schoenebeck 1486
77 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
78    
79 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
80     under win32.
81 schoenebeck 1493
82 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
83 schoenebeck 1461
84    
85 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
86 capela 1234
87 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
88     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
89 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
90     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
91 capela 1394
92 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
93     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
94     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
95     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
96    
97 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
98     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
99     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
100    
101 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
102    
103    
104 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
105 schoenebeck 736
106 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
107     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
108     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
109    
110 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
111    
112 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
113     the session state, only at code-level.
114 capela 1036
115 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
116 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
117 capela 1016
118 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
119     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
120     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
121     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
122     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
123     corrected some tooltip text strings.
124 capela 971
125 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
126     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
127     window managers.
128    
129 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
130 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
131     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
132     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
133 capela 957
134 capela 969 * GPL address update.
135 capela 920
136    
137 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
138    
139     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
140     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
141    
142 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
143    
144 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
145     installation paths have been added to configure command
146     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
147    
148 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
149     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
150     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
151     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
152     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
153    
154     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
155     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
156     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
157     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
158    
159 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
160    
161 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
162     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
163    
164 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
165     title name prefix.
166    
167 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
168     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
169     generated at configure time.
170    
171 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
172     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
173     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
174 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
175    
176 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
177    
178 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
179     compiled with -no-stl.
180    
181    
182 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
183 capela 653
184 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
185 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
186     one, while on qjackctl).
187 capela 653
188 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
189     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
190 capela 661
191 capela 662
192 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
193 capela 586
194 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
195 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
196 capela 619
197 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
198 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
199 capela 590 info updates.
200 capela 586
201 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
202     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
203     device dialog.
204 capela 586
205 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
206    
207 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
208     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
209     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
210 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
211 capela 590
212 capela 600
213 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
214 schoenebeck 519
215 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
216 capela 426
217 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
218 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
219 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
220 capela 567
221 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
222 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
223 capela 426
224 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
225 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
226 capela 567
227 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
228 capela 526
229    
230 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
231 capela 327
232 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
233     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
234     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
235     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
236    
237 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
238     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
239     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
240    
241     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
242     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
243    
244 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
245    
246     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
247     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
248     change information are now also posted to messages window.
249    
250 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
251     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
252     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
253     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
254    
255 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
256     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
257 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
258    
259 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
260     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
261     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
262     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
263    
264     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
265 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
266     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
267    
268 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
269 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
270 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
271     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
272 capela 327
273    
274 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
275 capela 115
276 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
277     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
278     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
279    
280 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
281     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
282     following common user-interface guidelines.
283    
284 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
285     control structures.
286    
287 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
288    
289     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
290     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
291 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
292 capela 255
293     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
294 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
295 capela 255
296     * Minor configure fixes.
297    
298    
299     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
300    
301 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
302    
303 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
304     and on session file save.
305 capela 145
306 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
307     on create time.
308 capela 161
309 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
310    
311    
312 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
313    
314 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
315     over the empty workspace area.
316 capela 130
317 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
318     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
319     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
320     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
321    
322 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
323     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
324    
325     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
326     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
327    
328 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
329     each sampler channel strip.
330 capela 115
331 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
332     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
333    
334     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
335 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
336    
337 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
338     new sampler channel strip.
339 capela 115
340     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
341     suggested in the following lines:
342    
343     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
344     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
345     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
346     LOAD ENGINE ...
347     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
348     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
349    
350    
351 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
