6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
9     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
10     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
11    
12 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
13     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
14    
15 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
16     a menu separator has been added.
17 capela 2036
18 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
19     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
20    
21     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
22     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
23     lame green solid background :).
24    
25 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
26 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
27    
28 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
29 capela 2028
30    
31 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
32 schoenebeck 1626
33 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
34     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
35     ever may follow ;)
36    
37 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
38    
39 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
40     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
41     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
42     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
43     a sampler the next time.
44 schoenebeck 1803
45 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
46    
47 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
48    
49 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
50     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
51     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
52     (default none).
53 capela 1749
54 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
55     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
56     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
57    
58 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
59     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
60     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
61     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
62 capela 1740
63 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
64     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
65    
66 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
67     screwed.
68    
69 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
70     e.g. by other frontends.
71 schoenebeck 1702
72 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
73     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
74     (fixes segfault on device changes)
75    
76 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
77     "View" main menu.
78 schoenebeck 1698
79 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
80    
81 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
82    
83 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
84     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
85 capela 1637
86 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
87     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
88 schoenebeck 1626
89    
90 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
91 schoenebeck 1461
92 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
93     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
94     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
95     default.
96 schoenebeck 1527
97 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
98     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
99    
100 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
101     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
102    
103 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
104     creating a new sampler channel.
105    
106     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
107    
108 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
109     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
110     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
111     first time).
112    
113 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
114     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
115 schoenebeck 1486
116 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
117    
118 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
119     under win32.
120 schoenebeck 1493
121 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
122 schoenebeck 1461
123    
124 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
125 capela 1234
126 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
127     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
128 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
129     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
130 capela 1394
131 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
132     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
133     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
134     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
135    
136 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
137     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
138     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
139    
140 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
141    
142    
143 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
144 schoenebeck 736
145 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
146     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
147     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
148    
149 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
150    
151 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
152     the session state, only at code-level.
153 capela 1036
154 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
155 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
156 capela 1016
157 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
158     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
159     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
160     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
161     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
162     corrected some tooltip text strings.
163 capela 971
164 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
165     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
166     window managers.
167    
168 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
169 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
170     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
171     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
172 capela 957
173 capela 969 * GPL address update.
174 capela 920
175    
176 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
177    
178     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
179     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
180    
181 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
182    
183 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
184     installation paths have been added to configure command
185     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
186    
187 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
188     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
189     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
190     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
191     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
192    
193     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
194     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
195     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
196     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
197    
198 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
199    
200 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
201     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
202    
203 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
204     title name prefix.
205    
206 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
207     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
208     generated at configure time.
209    
210 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
211     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
212     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
213 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
214    
215 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
216    
217 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
218     compiled with -no-stl.
219    
220

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

234 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
235 capela 619
236 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
237 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
238 capela 590 info updates.
239 capela 586
240 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
241     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
242     device dialog.
243 capela 586
244 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
245    
246 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
247     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
248     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
249 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
250 capela 590
251 capela 600
252 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
253 schoenebeck 519
254 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
255 capela 426
256 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
257 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
258 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
259 capela 567
260 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
261 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
262 capela 426
263 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
264 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
265 capela 567
266 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
267 capela 526
268    
269 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
270 capela 327
271 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
272     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
273     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
274     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
275    
276 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
277     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
278     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
279    
280     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
281     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
282    
283 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
284    
285     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
286     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
287     change information are now also posted to messages window.
288    
289 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
290     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
291     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
292     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
293    
294 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
295     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
296 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
297    
298 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
299     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
300     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
301     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
302    
303     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
304 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
305     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
306    
307 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
308 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
309 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
310     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
311 capela 327
312    
313 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
314 capela 115
315 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
316     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
317     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
318    
319 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
320     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
321     following common user-interface guidelines.
322    
323 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
324     control structures.
325    
326 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
327    
328     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
329     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
330 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
331 capela 255
332     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
333 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
334 capela 255
335     * Minor configure fixes.
336    
337    
338     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
339    
340 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
341    
342 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
343     and on session file save.
344 capela 145
345 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
346     on create time.
347 capela 161
348 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
349    
350    
351 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
352    
353 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
354     over the empty workspace area.
355 capela 130
356 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
357     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
358     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
359     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
360    
361 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
362     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
363    
364     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
365     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
366    
367 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
368     each sampler channel strip.
369 capela 115
370 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
371     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
372    
373     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
374 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
375    
376 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
377     new sampler channel strip.
378 capela 115
379     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
380     suggested in the following lines:
381    
382     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
383     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
384     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
385     LOAD ENGINE ...
386     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
387     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
388    
389    
390 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
