5    
6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
9 persson 2210
10 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
11 persson 2210
12 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
13    
14 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
15 persson 2144
16     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
17     and make.
18    
19 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
20     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
21     Debian 6.
22    
23 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
24     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
25    
26 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
27 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
28     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
29     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
30 capela 2108
31 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
32    
33 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
34     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
35     wrong main widget hidden state.
36    
37 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
38    
39 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
40     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
41     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
42     targets (--enable-debug).
43    
44 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
45    
46 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
47     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
48     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
49    
50 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
51     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
52    
53 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
54     a menu separator has been added.
55 capela 2036
56 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
57     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
58    
59     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
60     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
61     lame green solid background :).
62    
63 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
64 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
65    
66 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
67 capela 2028
68    
69 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
70 schoenebeck 1626
71 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
72     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
73     ever may follow ;)
74    
75 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
76    
77 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
78     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
79     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
80     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
81     a sampler the next time.
82 schoenebeck 1803
83 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
84    
85 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
86    
87 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
88     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
89     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
90     (default none).
91 capela 1749
92 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
93     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
94     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
95    
96 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
97     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
98     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
99     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
100 capela 1740
101 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
102     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
103    
104 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
105     screwed.
106    
107 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
108     e.g. by other frontends.
109 schoenebeck 1702
110 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
111     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
112     (fixes segfault on device changes)
113    
114 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
115     "View" main menu.
116 schoenebeck 1698
117 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
118    
119 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
120    
121 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
122     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
123 capela 1637
124 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
125     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
126 schoenebeck 1626
127    
128 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
129 schoenebeck 1461
130 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
131     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
132     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
133     default.
134 schoenebeck 1527
135 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
136     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
137    
138 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
139     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
140    
141 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
142     creating a new sampler channel.
143    
144     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
145    
146 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
147     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
148     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
149     first time).
150    
151 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
152     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
153 schoenebeck 1486
154 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
155    
156 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
157     under win32.
158 schoenebeck 1493
159 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
160 schoenebeck 1461
161    
162 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
163 capela 1234
164 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
165     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
166 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
167     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
168 capela 1394
169 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
170     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
171     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
172     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
173    
174 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
175     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
176     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
177    
178 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
179    
180    
181 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
182 schoenebeck 736
183 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
184     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
185     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
186    
187 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
188    
189 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
190     the session state, only at code-level.
191 capela 1036
192 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
193 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
194 capela 1016
195 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
196     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
197     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
198     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
199     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
200     corrected some tooltip text strings.
201 capela 971
202 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
203     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
204     window managers.
205    
206 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
207 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
208     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
209     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
210 capela 957
211 capela 969 * GPL address update.
212 capela 920
213    
214 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
215    
216     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
217     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
218    
219 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
220    
221 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
222     installation paths have been added to configure command
223     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
224    
225 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
226     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
227     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
228     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
229     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
230    
231     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
232     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
233     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
234     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
235    
236 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
237    
238 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
239     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
240    
241 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
242     title name prefix.
243    
244 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
245     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
246     generated at configure time.
247    
248 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
249     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
250     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
251 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
252    
253 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
254    
255 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
256     compiled with -no-stl.
257    
258    
259 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
260 capela 653
261 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
262 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
263     one, while on qjackctl).
264 capela 653
265 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
266     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
267 capela 661
268 capela 662
269 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
270 capela 586
271 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
272 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
273 capela 619
274 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
275 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
276 capela 590 info updates.
277 capela 586
278 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
279     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
280     device dialog.
281 capela 586
282 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
283    
284 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
285     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
286     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
287 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
288 capela 590
289 capela 600
290 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
291 schoenebeck 519
292 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
293 capela 426
294 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
295 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
296 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
297 capela 567
298 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
299 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
300 capela 426
301 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
302 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
303 capela 567
304 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
305 capela 526
306    
307 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
308 capela 327
309 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
310     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
311     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
312     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
313    
314 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
315     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
316     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
317    
318     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
319     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
320    
321 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
322    
323     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
324     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
325     change information are now also posted to messages window.
326    
327 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
328     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
329     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
330     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
331    
332 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
333     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
334 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
335    
336 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
337     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
338     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
339     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
340    
341     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
342 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
343     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
344    
345 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
346 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
347 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
348     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
349 capela 327
350    
351 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
352 capela 115
353 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
354     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
355     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
356    
357 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
358     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
359     following common user-interface guidelines.
360    
361 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
362     control structures.
363    
364 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
365    
366     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
367     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
368 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
369 capela 255
370     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
371 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
372 capela 255
373     * Minor configure fixes.
374    
375    
376     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
377    
378 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
379    
380 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
381     and on session file save.
382 capela 145
383 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
384     on create time.
385 capela 161
386 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
387    
388    
389 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
390    
391 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
392     over the empty workspace area.
393 capela 130
394 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
395     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
396     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
397     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
398    
399 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
400     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
401    
402     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
403     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
404    
405 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
406     each sampler channel strip.
407 capela 115
408 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
409     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
410    
411     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
412 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
413    
414 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
415     new sampler channel strip.
416 capela 115
417     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
418     suggested in the following lines:
419    
420     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
421     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
422     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
423     LOAD ENGINE ...
424     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
425     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
426    
427    
428 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
