* Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting (accessible
  from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning settins will be saved
  in case the user modified them and automatically restored to the sampler
  when reconnecting to a sampler the next time.
* bumped version to 0.2.1.20

6 schoenebeck 1626 CVS HEAD
7    
8 schoenebeck 1803 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting.
9    
10 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
11    
12 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
13    
14 capela 1749 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
15     size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
16     rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
17    
18 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
19     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
20     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
21    
22     * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
23     with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
24     running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
25     up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
26    
27 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
28     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
29    
30 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
31     screwed.
32    
33 schoenebeck 1702 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
34     other frontends.
35    
36 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
37     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
38     (fixes segfault on device changes)
39    
40 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
41     main menu.
42    
43 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
44    
45 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
46    
47 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
48     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
49    
50 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
51     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
52    
53    
54 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
55 schoenebeck 1461
56 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
57     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
58     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
59    
60 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
61     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
62    
63 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
64     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
65    
66 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
67     creating a new sampler channel.
68    
69     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
70    
71 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
72     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
73     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
74     first time).
75    
76 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
77     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
78 schoenebeck 1486
79 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
80    
81 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
82     under win32.
83 schoenebeck 1493
84 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
85 schoenebeck 1461
86    
87 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
88 capela 1234
89 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
90     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
91 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
92     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
93 capela 1394
94 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
95     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
96     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
97     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
98    
99 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
100     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
101     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
102    
103 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
104    
105    
106 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
107 schoenebeck 736
108 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
109     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
110     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
111    
112 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
113    
114 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
115     the session state, only at code-level.
116 capela 1036
117 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
118 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
119 capela 1016
120 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
121     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
122     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
123     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
124     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
125     corrected some tooltip text strings.
126 capela 971
127 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
128     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
129     window managers.
130    
131 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
132 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
133     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
134     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
135 capela 957
136 capela 969 * GPL address update.
137 capela 920
138    
139 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
140    
141     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
142     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
143    
144 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
145    
146 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
147     installation paths have been added to configure command
148     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
149    
150 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
151     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
152     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
153     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
154     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
155    
156     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
157     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
158     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
159     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
160    
161 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
162    
163 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
164     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
165    
166 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
167     title name prefix.
168    
169 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
170     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
171     generated at configure time.
172    
173 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
174     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
175     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
176 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
177    
178 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
179    
180 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
181     compiled with -no-stl.
182    
183    
184 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
185 capela 653
186 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
187 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
188     one, while on qjackctl).
189 capela 653
190 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
191     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
192 capela 661
193 capela 662
194 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
195 capela 586
196 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
197 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
198 capela 619
199 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
200 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
201 capela 590 info updates.
202 capela 586
203 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
204     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
205     device dialog.
206 capela 586
207 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
208    
209 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
210     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
211     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
212 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
213 capela 590
214 capela 600
215 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
216 schoenebeck 519
217 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
218 capela 426
219 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
220 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
221 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
222 capela 567
223 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
224 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
225 capela 426
226 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
227 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
228 capela 567
229 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
230 capela 526
231    
232 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
233 capela 327
234 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
235     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
236     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
237     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
238    
239 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
240     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
241     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
242    
243     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
244     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
245    
246 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
247    
248     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
249     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
250     change information are now also posted to messages window.
251    
252 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
253     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
254     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
255     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
256    
257 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
258     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
259 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
260    
261 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
262     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
263     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
264     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
265    
266     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
267 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
268     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
269    
270 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
271 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
272 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
273     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
274 capela 327
275    
276 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
277 capela 115
278 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
279     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
280     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
281    
282 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
283     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
284     following common user-interface guidelines.
285    
286 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
287     control structures.
288    
289 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
290    
291     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
292     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
293 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
294 capela 255
295     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
296 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
297 capela 255
298     * Minor configure fixes.
299    
300    
301     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
302    
303 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
304    
305 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
306     and on session file save.
307 capela 145
308 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
309     on create time.
310 capela 161
311 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
312    
313    
314 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
315    
316 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
317     over the empty workspace area.
318 capela 130
319 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
320     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
321     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
322     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
323    
324 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
325     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
326    
327     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
328     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
329    
330 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
331     each sampler channel strip.
332 capela 115
333 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
334     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
335    
336     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
337 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
338    
339 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
340     new sampler channel strip.
341 capela 115
342     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
343     suggested in the following lines:
344    
345     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
346     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
347     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
348     LOAD ENGINE ...
349     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
350     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
351    
352    
353 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
