16 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
17 capela 2028
18 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
19

26    
27 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
28    
29 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
30    
31 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
32     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
33 capela 2282
34 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
35 persson 2210
36 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
37 persson 2210
38 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
39    
40 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
41 persson 2144
42     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
43     and make.
44    
45 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
46     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
47     Debian 6.
48    
49 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
50 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
51 capela 2112
52 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
53 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
54     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
55     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
56 capela 2108
57 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
58    
59 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
60     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
61     wrong main widget hidden state.
62    
63 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
64    
65 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
66     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
67     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
68     targets (--enable-debug).
69    
70 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
71    
72 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
73     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
74     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
75    
76 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
77     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
78    
79 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
80     a menu separator has been added.
81 capela 2036
82 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
83     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
84    
85     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
86     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
87     lame green solid background :).
88    
89 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
90 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
91    
92 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
93 capela 2028
94    
95 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
96 schoenebeck 1626
97 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
98     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
99     ever may follow ;)
100    
101 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
102    
103 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
104     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
105     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
106     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
107     a sampler the next time.
108 schoenebeck 1803
109 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
110    
111 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
112    
113 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
114     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
115     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
116     (default none).
117 capela 1749
118 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
119     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
120     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
121    
122 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
123     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
124     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
125     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
126 capela 1740
127 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
128     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
129    
130 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
131     screwed.
132    
133 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
134     e.g. by other frontends.
135 schoenebeck 1702
136 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
137     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
138     (fixes segfault on device changes)
139    
140 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
141     "View" main menu.
142 schoenebeck 1698
143 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
144    
145 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
146    
147 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
148     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
149 capela 1637
150 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
151     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
152 schoenebeck 1626
153    
154 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
155 schoenebeck 1461
156 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
157     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
158     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
159     default.
160 schoenebeck 1527
161 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
162     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
163    
164 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
165     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
166    
167 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
168     creating a new sampler channel.
169    
170     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
171    
172 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
173     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
174     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
175     first time).
176    
177 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
178     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
179 schoenebeck 1486
180 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
181    
182 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
183     under win32.
184 schoenebeck 1493
185 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
186 schoenebeck 1461
187    
188 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
189 capela 1234
190 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
191     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
192 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
193     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
194 capela 1394
195 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
196     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
197     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
198     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
199    
200 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
201     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
202     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
203    
204 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
205    
206    
207 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
208 schoenebeck 736
209 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
210     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
211     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
212    
213 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
214    
215 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
216     the session state, only at code-level.
217 capela 1036
218 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
219 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
220 capela 1016
221 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
222     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
223     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
224     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
225     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
226     corrected some tooltip text strings.
227 capela 971
228 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
229     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
230     window managers.
231    
232 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
233 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
234     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
235     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
236 capela 957
237 capela 969 * GPL address update.
238 capela 920
239    
240 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
241    
242     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
243     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
244    
245 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
246    
247 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
248     installation paths have been added to configure command
249     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
250    
251 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
252     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
253     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
254     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
255     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
256    
257     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
258     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
259     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
260     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
261    
262 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
263    
264 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
265     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
266    
267 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
268     title name prefix.
269    
270 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
271     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
272     generated at configure time.
273    
274 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
275     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
276     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
277 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
278    
279 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
280    
281 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
282     compiled with -no-stl.
283    
284    
285 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
286 capela 653
287 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
288 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
289     one, while on qjackctl).
290 capela 653
291 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
292     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
293 capela 661
294 capela 662
295 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
296 capela 586
297 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
298 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
299 capela 619
300 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
301 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
302 capela 590 info updates.
303 capela 586
304 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
305     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
306     device dialog.
307 capela 586
308 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
309    
310 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
311     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
312     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
313 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
314 capela 590
315 capela 600
316 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
317 schoenebeck 519
318 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
319 capela 426
320 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
321 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
322 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
323 capela 567
324 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
325 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
326 capela 426
327 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
328 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
329 capela 567
330 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
331 capela 526
332    
333 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
334 capela 327
335 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
336     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
337     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
338     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
339    
340 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
341     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
342     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
343    
344     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
345     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
346    
347 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
348    
349     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
350     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
351     change information are now also posted to messages window.
352    
353 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
354     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
355     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
356     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
357    
358 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
359     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
360 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
361    
362 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
363     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
364     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
365     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
366    
367     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
368 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
369     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
370    
371 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
372 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
373 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
374     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
375 capela 327
376    
377 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
378 capela 115
379 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
380     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
381     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
382    
383 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
384     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
385     following common user-interface guidelines.
386    
387 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
388     control structures.
389    
390 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
391    
392     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
393     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
394 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
395 capela 255
396     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
397 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
398 capela 255
399     * Minor configure fixes.
400    
401    
402     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
403    
404 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
405    
406 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
407     and on session file save.
408 capela 145
409 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
410     on create time.
411 capela 161
412 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
413    
414    
415 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
416    
417 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
418     over the empty workspace area.
419 capela 130
420 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
421     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
422     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
423     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
424    
425 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
426     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
427    
428     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
429     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
430    
431 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
432     each sampler channel strip.
433 capela 115
434 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
435     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
436    
437     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
438 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
439    
440 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
441     new sampler channel strip.
442 capela 115
443     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
444     suggested in the following lines:
445    
446     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
447     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
448     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
449     LOAD ENGINE ...
450     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
451     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
452    
453    
454 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
