7 capela 2028
8 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
9     other than GIG instrument files (*gig *.dls) has been added,
10     now also allowing for SFZ instrument files (*.sfz) loading.
11    
12 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
13    
14 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
15     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
16     wrong main widget hidden state.
17    
18 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
19    
20 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
21     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
22     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
23     targets (--enable-debug).
24    
25 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
26    
27 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
28     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
29     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
30    
31 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
32     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
33    
34 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
35     a menu separator has been added.
36 capela 2036
37 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
38     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
39    
40     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
41     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
42     lame green solid background :).
43    
44 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
45 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
46    
47 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
48 capela 2028
49    
50 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
51 schoenebeck 1626
52 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
53     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
54     ever may follow ;)
55    
56 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
57    
58 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
59     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
60     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
61     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
62     a sampler the next time.
63 schoenebeck 1803
64 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
65    
66 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
67    
68 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
69     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
70     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
71     (default none).
72 capela 1749
73 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
74     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
75     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
76    
77 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
78     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
79     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
80     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
81 capela 1740
82 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
83     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
84    
85 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
86     screwed.
87    
88 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
89     e.g. by other frontends.
90 schoenebeck 1702
91 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
92     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
93     (fixes segfault on device changes)
94    
95 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
96     "View" main menu.
97 schoenebeck 1698
98 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
99    
100 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
101    
102 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
103     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
104 capela 1637
105 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
106     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
107 schoenebeck 1626
108    
109 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
110 schoenebeck 1461
111 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
112     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
113     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
114     default.
115 schoenebeck 1527
116 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
117     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
118    
119 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
120     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
121    
122 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
123     creating a new sampler channel.
124    
125     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
126    
127 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
128     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
129     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
130     first time).
131    
132 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
133     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
134 schoenebeck 1486
135 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
136    
137 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
138     under win32.
139 schoenebeck 1493
140 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
141 schoenebeck 1461
142    
143 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
144 capela 1234
145 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
146     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
147 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
148     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
149 capela 1394
150 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
151     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
152     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
153     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
154    
155 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
156     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
157     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
158    
159 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
160    
161    
162 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
163 schoenebeck 736
164 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
165     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
166     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
167    
168 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
169    
170 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
171     the session state, only at code-level.
172 capela 1036

177     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
178     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
179     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
180     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
181     corrected some tooltip text strings.
182 capela 971
183 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
184     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
185     window managers.
186    
187 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
188 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
189     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in

191 capela 957
192 capela 969 * GPL address update.
193 capela 920
194    
195 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
196    
197     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
198     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
199    
200 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
201    
202 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
203     installation paths have been added to configure command
204     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
205    
206 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
207     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
208     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
209     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
210     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
211    
212     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
213     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
214     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
215     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
216    
217 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
218    
219 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
220     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
221    
222 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
223     title name prefix.
224    
225 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
226     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
227     generated at configure time.
228    
229 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
230     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
231     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
232 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
233    
234 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
235    
236 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
237     compiled with -no-stl.
238

241 capela 653
242 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
243 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
244     one, while on qjackctl).
245 capela 653
246 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
247     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
248 capela 661
249 capela 662
250 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
251 capela 586
252 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
253 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
254 capela 619
255 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
256 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
257 capela 590 info updates.
258 capela 586
259 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
260     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
261     device dialog.
262 capela 586
263 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
264    
265 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
266     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
267     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
268 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
269 capela 590
270 capela 600
271 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
272 schoenebeck 519
273 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
274 capela 426
275 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
276 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
277 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
278 capela 567
279 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
280 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
281 capela 426
282 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
283 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
284 capela 567
285 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
286 capela 526
287    
288 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
289 capela 327
290 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
291     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
292     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
293     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
294    
295 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
296     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
297     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
298    
299     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
300     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
301    
302 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
303    
304     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
305     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
306     change information are now also posted to messages window.
307    
308 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
309     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
310     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
311     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
312    
313 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
314     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
315 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
316    
317 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
318     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
319     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
320     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
321    
322     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
323 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
324     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
325    
326 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
327 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
328 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
329     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
330 capela 327
331    
332 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
333 capela 115
334 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
335     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
336     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
337    
338 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
339     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
340     following common user-interface guidelines.
341    
342 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
343     control structures.
344    
345 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
346    
347     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
348     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
349 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
350 capela 255
351     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
352 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
353 capela 255
354     * Minor configure fixes.
355    
356    
357     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
358    
359 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
360    
361 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
362     and on session file save.
363 capela 145
364 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
365     on create time.
366 capela 161
367 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
368    
369    
370 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
371    
372 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
373     over the empty workspace area.
374 capela 130
375 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
376     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
377     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
378     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
379    
380 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
381     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
382    
383     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
384     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
385    
386 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
387     each sampler channel strip.
388 capela 115
389 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
390     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
391    
392     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
393 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
394    
395 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
396     new sampler channel strip.
397 capela 115
398     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
399     suggested in the following lines:
400    
401     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
402     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
403     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
404     LOAD ENGINE ...
405     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
406     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
407    
408    
409 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
