6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
9     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
10     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
11     targets (--enable-debug).
12    
13 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
14    
15 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
16     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
17     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
18    
19 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
20     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
21    
22 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
23     a menu separator has been added.
24 capela 2036
25 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
26     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
27    
28     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
29     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
30     lame green solid background :).
31    
32 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
33 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
34    
35 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
36 capela 2028
37    
38 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
39 schoenebeck 1626
40 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
41     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
42     ever may follow ;)
43    
44 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
45    
46 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
47     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
48     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
49     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
50     a sampler the next time.
51 schoenebeck 1803
52 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
53    
54 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
55    
56 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
57     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
58     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
59     (default none).
60 capela 1749
61 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
62     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
63     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
64    
65 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
66     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
67     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
68     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
69 capela 1740
70 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
71     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
72    
73 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
74     screwed.
75    
76 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
77     e.g. by other frontends.
78 schoenebeck 1702
79 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
80     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
81     (fixes segfault on device changes)
82    
83 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
84     "View" main menu.
85 schoenebeck 1698
86 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
87    
88 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
89    
90 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
91     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
92 capela 1637
93 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
94     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
95 schoenebeck 1626
96    
97 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
98 schoenebeck 1461
99 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
100     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
101     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
102     default.
103 schoenebeck 1527
104 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
105     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
106    
107 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
108     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
109    
110 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
111     creating a new sampler channel.
112    
113     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
114    
115 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
116     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
117     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
118     first time).
119    
120 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
121     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
122 schoenebeck 1486
123 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
124    
125 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
126     under win32.
127 schoenebeck 1493
128 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
129 schoenebeck 1461
130    
131 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
132 capela 1234
133 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
134     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
135 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
136     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
137 capela 1394
138 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
139     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
140     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
141     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
142    
143 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
144     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
145     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
146    
147 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
148    
149    
150 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
151 schoenebeck 736
152 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
153     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
154     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
155    
156 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
157    
158 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
159     the session state, only at code-level.
160 capela 1036
161 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
162 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
163 capela 1016
164 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
165     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
166     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
167     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
168     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
169     corrected some tooltip text strings.
170 capela 971
171 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
172     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
173     window managers.
174    
175 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
176 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
177     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
178     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
179 capela 957
180 capela 969 * GPL address update.
181 capela 920
182    
183 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
184    
185     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
186     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
187    
188 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
189    
190 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
191     installation paths have been added to configure command
192     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
193    
194 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
195     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
196     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
197     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
198     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
199    
200     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
201     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
202     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
203     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
204    
205 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
206    
207 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
208     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
209    
210 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
211     title name prefix.
212    
213 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
214     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
215     generated at configure time.
216    
217 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
218     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
219     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
220 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
221    
222 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
223    
224 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
225     compiled with -no-stl.
226    
227

229 capela 653
230 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
231 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
232     one, while on qjackctl).
233 capela 653
234 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
235     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
236 capela 661
237 capela 662
238 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
239 capela 586
240 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
241 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
242 capela 619
243 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
244 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
245 capela 590 info updates.
246 capela 586
247 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
248     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
249     device dialog.
250 capela 586
251 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
252    
253 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
254     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
255     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
256 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
257 capela 590
258 capela 600
259 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
260 schoenebeck 519
261 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
262 capela 426
263 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
264 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
265 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
266 capela 567
267 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
268 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
269 capela 426
270 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
271 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
272 capela 567
273 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
274 capela 526
275    
276 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
277 capela 327
278 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
279     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
280     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
281     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
282    
283 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
284     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
285     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
286    
287     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
288     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
289    
290 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
291    
292     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
293     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
294     change information are now also posted to messages window.
295    
296 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
297     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
298     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
299     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
300    
301 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
302     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
303 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
304    
305 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
306     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
307     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
308     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
309    
310     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
311 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
312     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
313    
314 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
315 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
316 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
317     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
318 capela 327
319    
320 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
321 capela 115
322 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
323     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
324     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
325    
326 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
327     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
328     following common user-interface guidelines.
329    
330 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
331     control structures.
332    
333 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
334    
335     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
336     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
337 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
338 capela 255
339     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
340 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
341 capela 255
342     * Minor configure fixes.
343    
344    
345     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
346    
347 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
348    
349 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
350     and on session file save.
351 capela 145
352 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
353     on create time.
354 capela 161
355 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
356    
357    
358 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
359    
360 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
361     over the empty workspace area.
362 capela 130
363 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
364     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
365     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
366     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
367    
368 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
369     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
370    
371     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
372     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
373    
374 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
375     each sampler channel strip.
376 capela 115
377 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
378     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
379    
380     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
381 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
382    
383 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
384     new sampler channel strip.
385 capela 115
386     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
387     suggested in the following lines:
388    
389     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
390     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
391     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
392     LOAD ENGINE ...
393     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
394     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
395    
396    
397 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
