1 capela 491 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 capela 109 ------------------------------------------
3    
4     ChangeLog
5    
6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
9    
10 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
11     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
12     wrong main widget hidden state.
13    
14 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
15    
16 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
17     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
18     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
19     targets (--enable-debug).
20    
21 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
22    
23 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
24     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
25     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
26    
27 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
28     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
29    
30 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
31     a menu separator has been added.
32 capela 2036
33 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
34     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
35    
36     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
37     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
38     lame green solid background :).
39    
40 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
41 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
42    
43 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
44 capela 2028
45    
46 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
47 schoenebeck 1626
48 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
49     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
50     ever may follow ;)
51    
52 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
53    
54 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
55     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
56     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
57     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
58     a sampler the next time.
59 schoenebeck 1803
60 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
61    
62 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
63    
64 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
65     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
66     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
67     (default none).
68 capela 1749
69 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
70     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
71     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
72    
73 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
74     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
75     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
76     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
77 capela 1740
78 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
79     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
80    
81 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
82     screwed.
83    
84 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
85     e.g. by other frontends.
86 schoenebeck 1702
87 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
88     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
89     (fixes segfault on device changes)
90    
91 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
92     "View" main menu.
93 schoenebeck 1698
94 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
95    
96 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
97    
98 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
99     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
100 capela 1637
101 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
102     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
103 schoenebeck 1626
104    
105 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
106 schoenebeck 1461
107 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
108     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
109     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
110     default.
111 schoenebeck 1527
112 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
113     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
114    
115 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
116     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
117    
118 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
119     creating a new sampler channel.
120    
121     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
122    
123 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
124     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
125     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
126     first time).
127    
128 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
129     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
130 schoenebeck 1486
131 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
132    
133 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
134     under win32.
135 schoenebeck 1493
136 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
137 schoenebeck 1461
138    
139 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
140 capela 1234
141 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
142     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
143 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
144     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
145 capela 1394
146 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
147     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
148     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
149     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
150    
151 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
152     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
153     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
154    
155 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
156    
157    
158 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
159 schoenebeck 736
160 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
161     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
162     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
163    
164 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
165    
166 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
167     the session state, only at code-level.
168 capela 1036
169 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
170 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
171 capela 1016
172 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
173     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
174     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
175     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
176     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
177     corrected some tooltip text strings.
178 capela 971
179 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
180     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
181     window managers.
182    
183 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
184 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
185     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
186     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
187 capela 957
188 capela 969 * GPL address update.
189 capela 920
190    
191 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
192    
193     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
194     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
195    
196 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
197    
198 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
199     installation paths have been added to configure command
200     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
201    
202 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
203     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
204     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
205     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
206     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
207    
208     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
209     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
210     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
211     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
212    
213 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
214    
215 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
216     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
217    
218 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
219     title name prefix.
220    
221 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
222     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
223     generated at configure time.
224    
225 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
226     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
227     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
228 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
229    
230 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
231    
232 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
233     compiled with -no-stl.
234    
235

237 capela 653
238 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
239 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
240     one, while on qjackctl).
241 capela 653
242 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
243     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
244 capela 661
245 capela 662
246 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
247 capela 586
248 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
249 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
250 capela 619
251 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
252 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
253 capela 590 info updates.
254 capela 586
255 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
256     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
257     device dialog.
258 capela 586
259 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
260    
261 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
262     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
263     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
264 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
265 capela 590
266 capela 600
267 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
268 schoenebeck 519
269 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
270 capela 426
271 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
272 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
273 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
274 capela 567
275 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
276 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
277 capela 426
278 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
279 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
280 capela 567
281 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
282 capela 526
283    
284 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
285 capela 327
286 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
287     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
288     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
289     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
290    
291 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
292     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
293     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
294    
295     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
296     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
297    
298 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
299    
300     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
301     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
302     change information are now also posted to messages window.
303    
304 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
305     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
306     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
307     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
308    
309 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
310     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
311 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
312    
313 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
314     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
315     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
316     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
317    
318     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
319 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
320     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
321    
322 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
323 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
324 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
325     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
326 capela 327
327    
328 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
329 capela 115
330 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
331     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
332     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
333    
334 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
335     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
336     following common user-interface guidelines.
337    
338 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
339     control structures.
340    
341 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
342    
343     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
344     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
345 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
346 capela 255
347     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
348 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
349 capela 255
350     * Minor configure fixes.
351    
352    
353     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
354    
355 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
356    
357 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
358     and on session file save.
359 capela 145
360 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
361     on create time.
362 capela 161
363 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
364    
365    
366 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
367    
368 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
369     over the empty workspace area.
370 capela 130
371 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
372     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
373     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
374     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
375    
376 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
377     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
378    
379     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
380     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
381    
382 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
383     each sampler channel strip.
384 capela 115
385 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
386     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
387    
388     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
389 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
390    
391 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
392     new sampler channel strip.
393 capela 115
394     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
395     suggested in the following lines:
396    
397     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
398     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
399     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
400     LOAD ENGINE ...
401     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
402     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
403    
404    
405 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
