7    
8     * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
9     (EXPERIMENTAL)
10    
11 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
12     the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
13     instruments of the same file.
14 capela 2563
15 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
16     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).

19 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
20 capela 2028
21 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
22    
23 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
24    
25 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
26     session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
27 capela 2387
28 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
29    
30 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
31    
32 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
33    
34 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
35     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
36 capela 2282
37 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
38 persson 2210
39 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
40 persson 2210
41 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
42    
43 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
44 persson 2144
45     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
46     and make.
47    
48 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
49     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
50     Debian 6.
51    
52 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
53 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
54 capela 2112
55 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
56 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
57     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
58     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
59 capela 2108
60 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
61    
62 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
63     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
64     wrong main widget hidden state.
65    
66 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
67    
68 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
69     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
70     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
71     targets (--enable-debug).
72    
73 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
74    
75 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
76     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
77     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
78    
79 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
80     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
81    
82 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
83     a menu separator has been added.
84 capela 2036
85 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
86     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
87    
88     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
89     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
90     lame green solid background :).
91    
92 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
93 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
94    
95 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
96 capela 2028
97    
98 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
99 schoenebeck 1626
100 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
101     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
102     ever may follow ;)
103    
104 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
105    
106 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
107     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
108     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
109     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
110     a sampler the next time.
111 schoenebeck 1803
112 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
113    
114 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
115    
116 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
117     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
118     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
119     (default none).
120 capela 1749
121 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
122     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
123     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
124    
125 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
126     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
127     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
128     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
129 capela 1740
130 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
131     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
132    
133 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
134     screwed.
135    
136 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
137     e.g. by other frontends.
138 schoenebeck 1702
139 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
140     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
141     (fixes segfault on device changes)
142    
143 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
144     "View" main menu.
145 schoenebeck 1698
146 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
147    
148 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
149    
150 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
151     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
152 capela 1637
153 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
154     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
155 schoenebeck 1626
156    
157 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
158 schoenebeck 1461
159 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
160     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
161     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
162     default.
163 schoenebeck 1527
164 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
165     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
166    
167 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
168     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
169    
170 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
171     creating a new sampler channel.
172    
173     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
174    
175 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
176     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
177     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
178     first time).
179    
180 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
181     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
182 schoenebeck 1486
183 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
184    
185 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
186     under win32.
187 schoenebeck 1493
188 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
189 schoenebeck 1461
190    
191 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
192 capela 1234
193 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
194     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
195 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
196     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
197 capela 1394
198 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
199     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
200     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
201     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
202    
203 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
204     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
205     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
206    
207 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
208    
209    
210 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
211 schoenebeck 736
212 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
213     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
214     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
215    
216 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
217    
218 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
219     the session state, only at code-level.
220 capela 1036
221 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
222 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
223 capela 1016
224 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
225     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
226     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
227     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
228     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
229     corrected some tooltip text strings.
230 capela 971
231 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
232     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
233     window managers.
234    
235 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
236 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
237     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
238     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
239 capela 957
240 capela 969 * GPL address update.
241 capela 920
242    
243 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
244    
245     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
246     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
247    
248 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
249    
250 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
251     installation paths have been added to configure command
252     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
253    
254 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
255     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
256     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
257     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
258     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
259    
260     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
261     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
262     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
263     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
264    
265 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
266    
267 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
268     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
269    
270 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
271     title name prefix.
272    
273 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
274     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
275     generated at configure time.
276    
277 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
278     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
279     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
280 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
281    
282 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
283    
284 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
285     compiled with -no-stl.
286    
287

289 capela 653
290 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
291 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
292     one, while on qjackctl).
293 capela 653
294 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
295     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
296 capela 661
297 capela 662
298 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
299 capela 586
300 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
301 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
302 capela 619
303 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
304 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
305 capela 590 info updates.
306 capela 586
307 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
308     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
309     device dialog.
310 capela 586
311 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
312    
313 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
314     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
315     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
316 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
317 capela 590
318 capela 600
319 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
320 schoenebeck 519
321 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
322 capela 426
323 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
324 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
325 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
326 capela 567
327 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
328 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
329 capela 426
330 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
331 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
332 capela 567
333 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
334 capela 526
335    
336 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
337 capela 327
338 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
339     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
340     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
341     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
342    
343 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
344     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
345     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
346    
347     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
348     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
349    
350 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
351    
352     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
353     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
354     change information are now also posted to messages window.
355    
356 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
357     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
358     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
359     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
360    
361 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
362     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
363 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
364    
365 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
366     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
367     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
368     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
369    
370     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
371 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
372     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
373    
374 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
375 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
376 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
377     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
378 capela 327
379    
380 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
381 capela 115
382 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
383     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
384     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
385    
386 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
387     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
388     following common user-interface guidelines.
389    
390 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
391     control structures.
392    
393 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
394    
395     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
396     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
397 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
398 capela 255
399     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
400 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
401 capela 255
402     * Minor configure fixes.
403    
404    
405     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
406    
407 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
408    
409 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
410     and on session file save.
411 capela 145
412 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
413     on create time.
414 capela 161
415 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
416    
417    
418 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
419    
420 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
421     over the empty workspace area.
422 capela 130
423 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
424     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
425     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
426     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
427    
428 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
429     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
430    
431     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
432     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
433    
434 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
435     each sampler channel strip.
436 capela 115
437 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
438     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
439    
440     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
441 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
442    
443 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
444     new sampler channel strip.
445 capela 115
446     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
447     suggested in the following lines:
448    
449     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
450     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
451     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
452     LOAD ENGINE ...
453     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
454     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
455    
456    
457 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
