8 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
9     a menu separator has been added.
10 capela 2036
11 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
12     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
13    
14     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
15     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
16     lame green solid background :).
17    
18 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
19 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
20    
21 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
22 capela 2028
23    
24 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
25 schoenebeck 1626
26 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
27     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
28     ever may follow ;)
29    
30 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
31    
32 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
33     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
34     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
35     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
36     a sampler the next time.
37 schoenebeck 1803
38 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
39    
40 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
41    
42 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
43     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
44     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
45     (default none).
46 capela 1749
47 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
48     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
49     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
50    
51 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
52     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
53     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
54     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
55 capela 1740
56 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
57     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
58    
59 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
60     screwed.
61    
62 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
63     e.g. by other frontends.
64 schoenebeck 1702
65 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
66     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
67     (fixes segfault on device changes)
68    
69 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
70     "View" main menu.
71 schoenebeck 1698
72 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
73    
74 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
75    
76 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
77     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
78 capela 1637
79 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
80     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
81 schoenebeck 1626
82    
83 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
84 schoenebeck 1461
85 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
86     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
87     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
88     default.
89 schoenebeck 1527
90 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
91     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
92    
93 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
94     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
95    
96 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
97     creating a new sampler channel.
98    
99     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
100    
101 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
102     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
103     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
104     first time).
105    
106 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
107     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
108 schoenebeck 1486
109 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
110    
111 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
112     under win32.
113 schoenebeck 1493
114 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
115 schoenebeck 1461
116    
117 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
118 capela 1234
119 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
120     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
121 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
122     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
123 capela 1394
124 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
125     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
126     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
127     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
128    
129 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
130     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
131     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
132    
133 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
134    
135    
136 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
137 schoenebeck 736
138 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
139     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
140     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
141    
142 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
143    
144 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
145     the session state, only at code-level.
146 capela 1036

151     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
152     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
153     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
154     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
155     corrected some tooltip text strings.
156 capela 971
157 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
158     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
159     window managers.
160    
161 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
162 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
163     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
164     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
165 capela 957
166 capela 969 * GPL address update.
167 capela 920
168    
169 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
170    
171     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
172     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
173    
174 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
175    
176 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
177     installation paths have been added to configure command
178     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
179    
180 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
181     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
182     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
183     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
184     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
185    
186     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
187     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
188     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
189     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
190    
191 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
192    
193 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
194     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
195    
196 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
197     title name prefix.
198    
199 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
200     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
201     generated at configure time.
202    
203 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
204     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
205     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
206 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
207    
208 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
209    
210 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
211     compiled with -no-stl.
212

215 capela 653
216 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
217 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
218     one, while on qjackctl).
219 capela 653
220 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
221     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
222 capela 661
223 capela 662
224 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
225 capela 586

227 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
228 capela 619
229 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
230 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
231 capela 590 info updates.
232 capela 586
233 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
234     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
235     device dialog.
236 capela 586
237 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
238    
239 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
240     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
241     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
242 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
243 capela 590
244 capela 600
245 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
246 schoenebeck 519
247 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
248 capela 426
249 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
250 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
251 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
252 capela 567
253 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
254 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
255 capela 426
256 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
257 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
258 capela 567
259 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
260 capela 526
261    
262 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
263 capela 327
264 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
265     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
266     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
267     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
268    
269 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
270     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
271     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
272    
273     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
274     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
275    
276 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
277    
278     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
279     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
280     change information are now also posted to messages window.
281    
282 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
283     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
284     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
285     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
286    
287 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
288     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
289 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
290    
291 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
292     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
293     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
294     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
295    
296     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
297 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
298     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
299    
300 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
301 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
302 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
303     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
304 capela 327
305    
306 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
307 capela 115
308 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
309     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
310     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
311    
312 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
313     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
314     following common user-interface guidelines.
315    
316 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
317     control structures.
318    
319 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
320    
321     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
322     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
323 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
324 capela 255
325     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
326 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
327 capela 255
328     * Minor configure fixes.
329    
330    
331     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
332    
333 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
334    
335 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
336     and on session file save.
337 capela 145
338 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
339     on create time.
340 capela 161
341 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
342    
343    
344 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
345    
346 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
347     over the empty workspace area.
348 capela 130
349 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
350     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
351     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
352     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
353    
354 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
355     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
356    
357     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
358     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
359    
360 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
361     each sampler channel strip.
362 capela 115
363 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
364     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
365    
366     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
367 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
368    
369 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
370     new sampler channel strip.
371 capela 115
372     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
373     suggested in the following lines:
374    
375     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
376     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
377     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
378     LOAD ENGINE ...
379     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
380     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
381    
382    
383 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
