12    
13 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
14    
15 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
16    
17 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
18     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
19 capela 2282
20 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
21 persson 2210
22 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
23 persson 2210
24 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
25    
26 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
27 persson 2144
28     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
29     and make.
30    
31 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
32     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
33     Debian 6.
34    
35 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
36     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
37    
38 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
39 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
40     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
41     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
42 capela 2108
43 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
44    
45 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
46     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
47     wrong main widget hidden state.
48    
49 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
50    
51 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
52     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
53     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
54     targets (--enable-debug).
55    
56 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
57    
58 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
59     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
60     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
61    
62 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
63     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
64    
65 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
66     a menu separator has been added.
67 capela 2036
68 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
69     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
70    
71     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
72     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
73     lame green solid background :).
74    
75 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
76 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
77    
78 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
79 capela 2028
80    
81 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
82 schoenebeck 1626
83 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
84     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
85     ever may follow ;)
86    
87 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
88    
89 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
90     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
91     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
92     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
93     a sampler the next time.
94 schoenebeck 1803
95 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
96    
97 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
98    
99 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
100     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
101     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
102     (default none).
103 capela 1749
104 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
105     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
106     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
107    
108 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
109     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
110     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
111     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
112 capela 1740
113 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
114     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
115    
116 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
117     screwed.
118    
119 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
120     e.g. by other frontends.
121 schoenebeck 1702
122 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
123     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
124     (fixes segfault on device changes)
125    
126 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
127     "View" main menu.
128 schoenebeck 1698
129 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
130    
131 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
132    
133 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
134     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
135 capela 1637
136 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
137     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
138 schoenebeck 1626
139    
140 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
141 schoenebeck 1461
142 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
143     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
144     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
145     default.
146 schoenebeck 1527
147 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
148     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
149    
150 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
151     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
152    
153 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
154     creating a new sampler channel.
155    
156     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
157    
158 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
159     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
160     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
161     first time).
162    
163 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
164     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
165 schoenebeck 1486
166 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
167    
168 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
169     under win32.
170 schoenebeck 1493
171 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
172 schoenebeck 1461
173    
174 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
175 capela 1234
176 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
177     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
178 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
179     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
180 capela 1394
181 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
182     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
183     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
184     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
185    
186 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
187     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
188     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
189    
190 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
191    
192    
193 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
194 schoenebeck 736
195 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
196     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
197     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
198    
199 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
200    
201 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
202     the session state, only at code-level.
203 capela 1036
204 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
205 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
206 capela 1016
207 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
208     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
209     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
210     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
211     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
212     corrected some tooltip text strings.
213 capela 971
214 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
215     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
216     window managers.
217    
218 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
219 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
220     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
221     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
222 capela 957
223 capela 969 * GPL address update.
224 capela 920
225    
226 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
227    
228     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
229     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
230    
231 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
232    
233 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
234     installation paths have been added to configure command
235     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
236    
237 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
238     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
239     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
240     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
241     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
242    
243     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
244     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
245     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
246     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
247    
248 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
249    
250 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
251     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
252    
253 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
254     title name prefix.
255    
256 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
257     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
258     generated at configure time.
259    
260 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
261     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
262     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
263 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
264    
265 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
266    
267 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
268     compiled with -no-stl.
269    
270    
271 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
272 capela 653
273 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
274 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
275     one, while on qjackctl).
276 capela 653
277 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
278     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
279 capela 661
280 capela 662
281 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
282 capela 586
283 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
284 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
285 capela 619
286 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
287 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
288 capela 590 info updates.
289 capela 586
290 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
291     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
292     device dialog.
293 capela 586
294 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
295    
296 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
297     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
298     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
299 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
300 capela 590
301 capela 600
302 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
303 schoenebeck 519
304 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
305 capela 426
306 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
307 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
308 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
309 capela 567
310 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
311 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
312 capela 426
313 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
314 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
315 capela 567
316 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
317 capela 526
318    
319 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
320 capela 327
321 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
322     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
323     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
324     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
325    
326 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
327     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
328     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
329    
330     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
331     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
332    
333 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
334    
335     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
336     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
337     change information are now also posted to messages window.
338    
339 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
340     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
341     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
342     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
343    
344 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
345     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
346 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
347    
348 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
349     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
350     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
351     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
352    
353     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
354 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
355     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
356    
357 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
358 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
359 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
360     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
361 capela 327
362    
363 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
364 capela 115
365 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
366     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
367     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
368    
369 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
370     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
371     following common user-interface guidelines.
372    
373 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
374     control structures.
375    
376 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
377    
378     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
379     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
380 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
381 capela 255
382     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
383 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
384 capela 255
385     * Minor configure fixes.
386    
387    
388     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
389    
390 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
391    
392 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
393     and on session file save.
394 capela 145
395 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
396     on create time.
397 capela 161
398 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
399    
400    
401 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
402    
403 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
404     over the empty workspace area.
405 capela 130
406 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
407     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
408     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
409     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
410    
411 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
412     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
413    
414     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
415     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
416    
417 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
418     each sampler channel strip.
419 capela 115
420 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
421     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
422    
423     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
424 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
425    
426 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
427     new sampler channel strip.
428 capela 115
429     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
430     suggested in the following lines:
431    
432     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
433     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
434     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
435     LOAD ENGINE ...
436     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
437     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
