6 schoenebeck 1626 CVS HEAD
7    
8 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
9    
10 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
11     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
12     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
13     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
14     a sampler the next time.
15 schoenebeck 1803
16 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
17    
18 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
19    
20 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
21     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
22     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
23     (default none).
24 capela 1749
25 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
26     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
27     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
28    
29 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
30     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
31     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
32     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
33 capela 1740
34 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
35     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
36    
37 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
38     screwed.
39    
40 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
41     e.g. by other frontends.
42 schoenebeck 1702
43 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
44     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
45     (fixes segfault on device changes)
46    
47 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
48     "View" main menu.
49 schoenebeck 1698
50 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
51    
52 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
53    
54 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
55     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
56 capela 1637
57 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
58     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
59 schoenebeck 1626
60    
61 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
62 schoenebeck 1461
63 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
64     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
65     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
66     default.
67 schoenebeck 1527
68 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
69     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
70    
71 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
72     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
73    
74 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
75     creating a new sampler channel.
76    
77     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
78    
79 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
80     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
81     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
82     first time).
83    
84 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
85     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
86 schoenebeck 1486
87 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
88    
89 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
90     under win32.
91 schoenebeck 1493
92 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
93 schoenebeck 1461
94    
95 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
96 capela 1234
97 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
98     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
99 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
100     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
101 capela 1394
102 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
103     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
104     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
105     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
106    
107 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
108     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
109     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
110    
111 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
112    
113    
114 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
115 schoenebeck 736
116 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
117     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
118     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
119    
120 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
121    
122 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
123     the session state, only at code-level.
124 capela 1036
125 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
126 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
127 capela 1016
128 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
129     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
130     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
131     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
132     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
133     corrected some tooltip text strings.
134 capela 971
135 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
136     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
137     window managers.
138    
139 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
140 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
141     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
142     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
143 capela 957
144 capela 969 * GPL address update.
145 capela 920
146    
147 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
148    
149     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
150     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
151    
152 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
153    
154 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
155     installation paths have been added to configure command
156     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
157    
158 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
159     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
160     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
161     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
162     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
163    
164     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
165     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
166     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
167     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
168    
169 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
170    
171 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
172     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
173    
174 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
175     title name prefix.
176    
177 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
178     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
179     generated at configure time.
180    
181 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
182     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
183     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
184 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
185    
186 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
187    
188 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
189     compiled with -no-stl.
190    
191    
192 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
193 capela 653
194 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
195 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
196     one, while on qjackctl).
197 capela 653
198 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
199     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
200 capela 661
201 capela 662
202 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
203 capela 586
204 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
205 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
206 capela 619
207 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
208 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
209 capela 590 info updates.
210 capela 586
211 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
212     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
213     device dialog.
214 capela 586
215 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
216    
217 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
218     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
219     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
220 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
221 capela 590
222 capela 600
223 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
224 schoenebeck 519
225 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
226 capela 426
227 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
228 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
229 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
230 capela 567
231 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
232 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
233 capela 426
234 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
235 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
236 capela 567
237 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
238 capela 526
239    
240 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
241 capela 327
242 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
243     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
244     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
245     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
246    
247 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
248     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
249     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
250    
251     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
252     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
253    
254 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
255    
256     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
257     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
258     change information are now also posted to messages window.
259    
260 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
261     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
262     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
263     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
264    
265 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
266     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
267 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
268    
269 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
270     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
271     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
272     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
273    
274     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
275 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
276     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
277    
278 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
279 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
280 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
281     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
282 capela 327
283    
284 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
285 capela 115
286 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
287     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
288     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
289    
290 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
291     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
292     following common user-interface guidelines.
293    
294 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
295     control structures.
296    
297 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
298    
299     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
300     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
301 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
302 capela 255
303     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
304 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
305 capela 255
306     * Minor configure fixes.
307    
308    
309     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
310    
311 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
312    
313 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
314     and on session file save.
315 capela 145
316 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
317     on create time.
318 capela 161
319 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
320    
321    
322 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
323    
324 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
325     over the empty workspace area.
326 capela 130
327 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
328     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
329     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
330     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
331    
332 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
333     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
334    
335     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
336     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
337    
338 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
339     each sampler channel strip.
340 capela 115
341 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
342     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
343    
344     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
345 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
346    
347 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
348     new sampler channel strip.
349 capela 115
350     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
351     suggested in the following lines:
352    
353     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
354     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
355     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
356     LOAD ENGINE ...
357     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
358     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
359    
360    
361 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
