7    
8     - Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
9     disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
10    
11     - Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
12    
13    
14 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
15 schoenebeck 1626
16 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
17     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
18     ever may follow ;)
19    
20 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
21    
22 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
23     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
24     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
25     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
26     a sampler the next time.
27 schoenebeck 1803
28 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
29    
30 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
31    
32 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
33     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
34     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
35     (default none).
36 capela 1749
37 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
38     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
39     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
40    
41 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
42     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
43     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
44     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
45 capela 1740
46 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
47     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
48    
49 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
50     screwed.
51    
52 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
53     e.g. by other frontends.
54 schoenebeck 1702
55 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
56     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
57     (fixes segfault on device changes)
58    
59 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
60     "View" main menu.
61 schoenebeck 1698
62 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
63    
64 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
65    
66 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
67     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
68 capela 1637
69 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
70     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
71 schoenebeck 1626
72    
73 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
74 schoenebeck 1461
75 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
76     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
77     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
78     default.
79 schoenebeck 1527
80 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
81     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
82    
83 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
84     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
85    
86 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
87     creating a new sampler channel.
88    
89     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
90    
91 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
92     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
93     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
94     first time).
95    
96 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
97     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
98 schoenebeck 1486
99 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
100    
101 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
102     under win32.
103 schoenebeck 1493
104 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
105 schoenebeck 1461
106    
107 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
108 capela 1234
109 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
110     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
111 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
112     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
113 capela 1394
114 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
115     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
116     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
117     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
118    
119 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
120     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
121     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
122    
123 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
124    
125    
126 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
127 schoenebeck 736
128 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
129     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
130     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
131    
132 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
133    
134 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
135     the session state, only at code-level.
136 capela 1036
137 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
138 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
139 capela 1016
140 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
141     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
142     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
143     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
144     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
145     corrected some tooltip text strings.
146 capela 971
147 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
148     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
149     window managers.
150    
151 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
152 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
153     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
154     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
155 capela 957
156 capela 969 * GPL address update.
157 capela 920
158    
159 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
160    
161     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
162     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
163    
164 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
165    
166 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
167     installation paths have been added to configure command
168     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
169    
170 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
171     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
172     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
173     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
174     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
175    
176     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
177     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
178     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
179     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
180    
181 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
182    
183 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
184     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
185    
186 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
187     title name prefix.
188    
189 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
190     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
191     generated at configure time.
192    
193 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
194     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
195     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
196 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
197    
198 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
199    
200 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
201     compiled with -no-stl.
202    
203

205 capela 653
206 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
207 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
208     one, while on qjackctl).
209 capela 653
210 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
211     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
212 capela 661
213 capela 662
214 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
215 capela 586

217 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
218 capela 619
219 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
220 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
221 capela 590 info updates.
222 capela 586
223 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
224     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
225     device dialog.
226 capela 586
227 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
228    
229 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
230     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
231     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
232 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
233 capela 590
234 capela 600
235 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
236 schoenebeck 519
237 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
238 capela 426
239 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
240 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
241 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
242 capela 567
243 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
244 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
245 capela 426
246 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
247 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
248 capela 567
249 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
250 capela 526
251    
252 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
253 capela 327
254 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
255     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
256     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
257     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
258    
259 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
260     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
261     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
262    
263     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
264     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
265    
266 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
267    
268     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
269     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
270     change information are now also posted to messages window.
271    
272 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
273     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
274     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
275     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
276    
277 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
278     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
279 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
280    
281 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
282     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
283     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
284     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
285    
286     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
287 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
288     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
289    
290 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
291 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
292 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
293     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
294 capela 327
295    
296 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
297 capela 115
298 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
299     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
300     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
301    
302 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
303     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
304     following common user-interface guidelines.
305    
306 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
307     control structures.
308    
309 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
310    
311     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
312     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
313 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
314 capela 255
315     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
316 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
317 capela 255
318     * Minor configure fixes.
319    
320    
321     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
322    
323 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
324    
325 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
326     and on session file save.
327 capela 145
328 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
329     on create time.
330 capela 161
331 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
332    
333    
334 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
335    
336 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
337     over the empty workspace area.
338 capela 130
339 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
340     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
341     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
342     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
343    
344 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
345     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
346    
347     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
348     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
349    
350 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
351     each sampler channel strip.
352 capela 115
353 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
354     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
355    
356     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
357 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
358    
359 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
360     new sampler channel strip.
361 capela 115
362     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
363     suggested in the following lines:
364    
365     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
366     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
367     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
368     LOAD ENGINE ...
369     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
370     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
371    
372    
373 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
