6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
9     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
10    
11 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
12     a menu separator has been added.
13 capela 2036
14 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
15     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
16    
17     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
18     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
19     lame green solid background :).
20    
21 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
22 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
23    
24 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
25 capela 2028
26    
27 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
28 schoenebeck 1626
29 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
30     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
31     ever may follow ;)
32    
33 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
34    
35 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
36     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
37     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
38     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
39     a sampler the next time.
40 schoenebeck 1803
41 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
42    
43 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
44    
45 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
46     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
47     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
48     (default none).
49 capela 1749
50 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
51     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
52     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
53    
54 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
55     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
56     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
57     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
58 capela 1740
59 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
60     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
61    
62 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
63     screwed.
64    
65 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
66     e.g. by other frontends.
67 schoenebeck 1702
68 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
69     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
70     (fixes segfault on device changes)
71    
72 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
73     "View" main menu.
74 schoenebeck 1698
75 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
76    
77 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
78    
79 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
80     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
81 capela 1637
82 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
83     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
84 schoenebeck 1626
85    
86 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
87 schoenebeck 1461
88 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
89     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
90     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
91     default.
92 schoenebeck 1527
93 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
94     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
95    
96 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
97     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
98    
99 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
100     creating a new sampler channel.
101    
102     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
103    
104 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
105     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
106     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
107     first time).
108    
109 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
110     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
111 schoenebeck 1486
112 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
113    
114 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
115     under win32.
116 schoenebeck 1493
117 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
118 schoenebeck 1461
119    
120 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
121 capela 1234
122 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
123     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
124 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
125     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
126 capela 1394
127 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
128     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
129     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
130     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
131    
132 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
133     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
134     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
135    
136 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
137    
138    
139 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
140 schoenebeck 736
141 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
142     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
143     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
144    
145 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
146    
147 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
148     the session state, only at code-level.
149 capela 1036

154     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
155     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
156     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
157     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
158     corrected some tooltip text strings.
159 capela 971
160 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
161     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
162     window managers.
163    
164 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
165 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
166     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in

168 capela 957
169 capela 969 * GPL address update.
170 capela 920
171    
172 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
173    
174     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
175     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
176    
177 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
178    
179 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
180     installation paths have been added to configure command
181     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
182    
183 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
184     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
185     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
186     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
187     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
188    
189     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
190     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
191     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
192     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
193    
194 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
195    
196 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
197     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
198    
199 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
200     title name prefix.
201    
202 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
203     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
204     generated at configure time.
205    
206 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
207     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
208     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
209 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
210    
211 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
212    
213 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
214     compiled with -no-stl.
215

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

230 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
231 capela 619
232 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
233 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
234 capela 590 info updates.
235 capela 586
236 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
237     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
238     device dialog.
239 capela 586
240 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
241    
242 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
243     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
244     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
245 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
246 capela 590
247 capela 600
248 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
249 schoenebeck 519
250 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
251 capela 426
252 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
253 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
254 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
255 capela 567
256 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
257 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
258 capela 426
259 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
260 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
261 capela 567
262 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
263 capela 526
264    
265 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
266 capela 327
267 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
268     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
269     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
270     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
271    
272 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
273     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
274     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
275    
276     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
277     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
278    
279 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
280    
281     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
282     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
283     change information are now also posted to messages window.
284    
285 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
286     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
287     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
288     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
289    
290 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
291     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
292 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
293    
294 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
295     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
296     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
297     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
298    
299     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
300 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
301     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
302    
303 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
304 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
305 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
306     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
307 capela 327
308    
309 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
310 capela 115
311 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
312     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
313     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
314    
315 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
316     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
317     following common user-interface guidelines.
318    
319 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
320     control structures.
321    
322 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
323    
324     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
325     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
326 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
327 capela 255
328     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
329 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
330 capela 255
331     * Minor configure fixes.
332    
333    
334     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
335    
336 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
337    
338 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
339     and on session file save.
340 capela 145
341 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
342     on create time.
343 capela 161
344 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
345    
346    
347 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
348    
349 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
350     over the empty workspace area.
351 capela 130
352 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
353     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
354     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
355     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
356    
357 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
358     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
359    
360     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
361     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
362    
363 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
364     each sampler channel strip.
365 capela 115
366 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
367     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
368    
369     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
370 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
371    
372 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
373     new sampler channel strip.
374 capela 115
375     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
376     suggested in the following lines:
377    
378     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
379     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
380     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
381     LOAD ENGINE ...
382     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
383     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
384    
385    
386 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
