1 capela 491 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 capela 109 ------------------------------------------
3    
4     ChangeLog
5    
6 schoenebeck 1626 CVS HEAD
7    
8 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
9     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
10     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
11     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
12     a sampler the next time.
13 schoenebeck 1803
14 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
15    
16 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
17    
18 capela 1749 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
19     size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
20     rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
21    
22 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
23     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
24     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
25    
26     * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
27     with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
28     running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
29     up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
30    
31 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
32     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
33    
34 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
35     screwed.
36    
37 schoenebeck 1702 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
38     other frontends.
39    
40 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
41     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
42     (fixes segfault on device changes)
43    
44 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
45     main menu.
46    
47 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
48    
49 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
50    
51 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
52     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
53    
54 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
55     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
56    
57    
58 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
59 schoenebeck 1461
60 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
61     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
62     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
63    
64 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
65     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
66    
67 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
68     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
69    
70 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
71     creating a new sampler channel.
72    
73     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
74    
75 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
76     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
77     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
78     first time).
79    
80 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
81     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
82 schoenebeck 1486
83 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
84    
85 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
86     under win32.
87 schoenebeck 1493
88 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
89 schoenebeck 1461
90    
91 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
92 capela 1234
93 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
94     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
95 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
96     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
97 capela 1394
98 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
99     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
100     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
101     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
102    
103 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
104     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
105     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
106    
107 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
108    
109    
110 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
111 schoenebeck 736
112 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
113     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
114     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
115    
116 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
117    
118 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
119     the session state, only at code-level.
120 capela 1036
121 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
122 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
123 capela 1016
124 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
125     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
126     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
127     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
128     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
129     corrected some tooltip text strings.
130 capela 971
131 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
132     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
133     window managers.
134    
135 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
136 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
137     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
138     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
139 capela 957
140 capela 969 * GPL address update.
141 capela 920
142    
143 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
144    
145     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
146     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
147    
148 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
149    
150 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
151     installation paths have been added to configure command
152     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
153    
154 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
155     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
156     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
157     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
158     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
159    
160     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
161     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
162     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
163     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
164    
165 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
166    
167 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
168     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
169    
170 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
171     title name prefix.
172    
173 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
174     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
175     generated at configure time.
176    
177 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
178     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
179     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
180 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
181    
182 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
183    
184 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
185     compiled with -no-stl.
186    
187    
188 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
189 capela 653
190 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
191 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
192     one, while on qjackctl).
193 capela 653
194 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
195     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
196 capela 661
197 capela 662
198 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
199 capela 586
200 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
201 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
202 capela 619
203 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
204 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
205 capela 590 info updates.
206 capela 586
207 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
208     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
209     device dialog.
210 capela 586
211 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
212    
213 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
214     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
215     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
216 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
217 capela 590
218 capela 600
219 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
220 schoenebeck 519
221 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
222 capela 426
223 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
224 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
225 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
226 capela 567
227 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
228 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
229 capela 426
230 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
231 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
232 capela 567
233 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
234 capela 526
235    
236 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
237 capela 327
238 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
239     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
240     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
241     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
242    
243 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
244     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
245     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
246    
247     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
248     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
249    
250 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
251    
252     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
253     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
254     change information are now also posted to messages window.
255    
256 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
257     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
258     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
259     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
260    
261 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
262     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
263 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
264    
265 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
266     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
267     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
268     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
269    
270     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
271 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
272     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
273    
274 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
275 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
276 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
277     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
278 capela 327
279    
280 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
281 capela 115
282 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
283     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
284     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
285    
286 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
287     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
288     following common user-interface guidelines.
289    
290 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
291     control structures.
292    
293 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
294    
295     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
296     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
297 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
298 capela 255
299     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
300 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
301 capela 255
302     * Minor configure fixes.
303    
304    
305     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
306    
307 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
308    
309 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
310     and on session file save.
311 capela 145
312 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
313     on create time.
314 capela 161
315 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
316    
317    
318 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
319    
320 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
321     over the empty workspace area.
322 capela 130
323 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
324     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
325     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
326     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
327    
328 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
329     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
330    
331     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
332     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
333    
334 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
335     each sampler channel strip.
336 capela 115
337 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
338     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
339    
340     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
341 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
342    
343 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
344     new sampler channel strip.
345 capela 115
346     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
347     suggested in the following lines:
348    
349     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
350     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
351     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
352     LOAD ENGINE ...
353     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
354     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
355    
356    
357 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
