1 capela 491 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 capela 109 ------------------------------------------

4     ChangeLog
5    
6 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
7 schoenebeck 1626
8 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
9     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
10     ever may follow ;)
11    
12 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
13    
14 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
15     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
16     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
17     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
18     a sampler the next time.
19 schoenebeck 1803
20 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
21    
22 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
23    
24 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
25     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
26     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
27     (default none).
28 capela 1749
29 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
30     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
31     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
32    
33 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
34     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
35     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
36     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
37 capela 1740
38 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
39     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
40    
41 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
42     screwed.
43    
44 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
45     e.g. by other frontends.
46 schoenebeck 1702
47 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
48     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
49     (fixes segfault on device changes)
50    
51 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
52     "View" main menu.
53 schoenebeck 1698
54 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
55    
56 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
57    
58 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
59     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
60 capela 1637
61 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
62     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
63 schoenebeck 1626
64    
65 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
66 schoenebeck 1461
67 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
68     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
69     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
70     default.
71 schoenebeck 1527
72 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
73     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
74    
75 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
76     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
77    
78 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
79     creating a new sampler channel.
80    
81     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
82    
83 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
84     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
85     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
86     first time).
87    
88 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
89     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
90 schoenebeck 1486
91 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
92    
93 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
94     under win32.
95 schoenebeck 1493
96 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
97 schoenebeck 1461
98    
99 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
100 capela 1234
101 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
102     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
103 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
104     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
105 capela 1394
106 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
107     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
108     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
109     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
110    
111 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
112     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
113     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
114    
115 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
116    
117    
118 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
119 schoenebeck 736
120 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
121     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
122     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
123    
124 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
125    
126 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
127     the session state, only at code-level.
128 capela 1036
129 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
130 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
131 capela 1016
132 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
133     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
134     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
135     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
136     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
137     corrected some tooltip text strings.
138 capela 971
139 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
140     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
141     window managers.
142    
143 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
144 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
145     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
146     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
147 capela 957
148 capela 969 * GPL address update.
149 capela 920
150    
151 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
152    
153     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
154     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
155    
156 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
157    
158 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
159     installation paths have been added to configure command
160     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
161    
162 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
163     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
164     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
165     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
166     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
167    
168     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
169     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
170     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
171     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
172    
173 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
174    
175 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
176     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
177    
178 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
179     title name prefix.
180    
181 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
182     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
183     generated at configure time.
184    
185 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
186     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
187     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
188 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
189    
190 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
191    
192 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
193     compiled with -no-stl.
194    
195    
196 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
197 capela 653
198 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
199 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
200     one, while on qjackctl).
201 capela 653
202 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
203     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
204 capela 661
205 capela 662
206 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
207 capela 586
208 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
209 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
210 capela 619
211 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
212 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
213 capela 590 info updates.
214 capela 586
215 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
216     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
217     device dialog.
218 capela 586
219 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
220    
221 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
222     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
223     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
224 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
225 capela 590
226 capela 600
227 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
228 schoenebeck 519
229 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
230 capela 426
231 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
232 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
233 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
234 capela 567
235 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
236 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
237 capela 426
238 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
239 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
240 capela 567
241 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
242 capela 526
243    
244 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
245 capela 327
246 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
247     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
248     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
249     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
250    
251 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
252     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
253     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
254    
255     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
256     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
257    
258 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
259    
260     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
261     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
262     change information are now also posted to messages window.
263    
264 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
265     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
266     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
267     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
268    
269 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
270     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
271 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
272    
273 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
274     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
275     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
276     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
277    
278     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
279 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
280     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
281    
282 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
283 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
284 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
285     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
286 capela 327
287    
288 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
289 capela 115
290 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
291     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
292     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
293    
294 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
295     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
296     following common user-interface guidelines.
297    
298 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
299     control structures.
300    
301 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
302    
303     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
304     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
305 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
306 capela 255
307     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
308 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
309 capela 255
310     * Minor configure fixes.
311    
312    
313     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
314    
315 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
316    
317 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
318     and on session file save.
319 capela 145
320 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
321     on create time.
322 capela 161
323 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
324    
325    
326 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
327    
328 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
329     over the empty workspace area.
330 capela 130
331 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
332     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
333     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
334     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
335    
336 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
337     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
338    
339     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
340     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
341    
342 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
343     each sampler channel strip.
344 capela 115
345 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
346     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
347    
348     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
349 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
350    
351 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
352     new sampler channel strip.
353 capela 115
354     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
355     suggested in the following lines:
356    
357     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
358     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
359     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
360     LOAD ENGINE ...
361     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
362     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
363    
364    
365 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
