7    
8 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
9    
10 capela 2563 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
11     (EXPERIMENTAL)
12    
13 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
14     the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
15     instruments of the same file.
16 capela 2563
17 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
18     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
19 schoenebeck 2569
20 schoenebeck 2591
21 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
22 capela 2028
23 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
24    
25 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
26    
27 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
28     session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
29 capela 2387
30 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
31    
32 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
33    
34 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
35    
36 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
37     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
38 capela 2282
39 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
40 persson 2210
41 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
42 persson 2210
43 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
44    
45 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
46 persson 2144
47     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
48     and make.
49    
50 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
51     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
52     Debian 6.
53    
54 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
55 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
56 capela 2112
57 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
58 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
59     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
60     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
61 capela 2108
62 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
63    
64 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
65     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
66     wrong main widget hidden state.
67    
68 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
69    
70 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
71     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
72     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
73     targets (--enable-debug).
74    
75 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
76    
77 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
78     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
79     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
80    
81 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
82     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
83    
84 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
85     a menu separator has been added.
86 capela 2036
87 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
88     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
89    
90     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
91     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
92     lame green solid background :).
93    
94 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
95 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
96    
97 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
98 capela 2028
99    
100 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.

102 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
103     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
104     ever may follow ;)
105    
106 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
107    
108 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
109     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
110     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
111     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
112     a sampler the next time.
113 schoenebeck 1803
114 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
115    
116 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
117    
118 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
119     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
120     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
121     (default none).
122 capela 1749
123 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
124     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
125     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
126    
127 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
128     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
129     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
130     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
131 capela 1740
132 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
133     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
134    
135 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
136     screwed.
137    
138 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
139     e.g. by other frontends.
140 schoenebeck 1702
141 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
142     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
143     (fixes segfault on device changes)
144    
145 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
146     "View" main menu.
147 schoenebeck 1698
148 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
149    
150 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
151    
152 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
153     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
154 capela 1637
155 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
156     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
157 schoenebeck 1626
158    
159 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
160 schoenebeck 1461
161 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
162     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
163     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
164     default.
165 schoenebeck 1527
166 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
167     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
168    
169 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
170     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
171    
172 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
173     creating a new sampler channel.
174    
175     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
176    
177 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
178     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
179     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
180     first time).
181    
182 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
183     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
184 schoenebeck 1486
185 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
186    
187 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
188     under win32.
189 schoenebeck 1493
190 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
191 schoenebeck 1461
192    
193 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
194 capela 1234
195 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
196     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
197 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
198     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
199 capela 1394
200 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
201     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
202     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
203     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
204    
205 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
206     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
207     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
208    
209 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
210    
211    
212 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
213 schoenebeck 736
214 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
215     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
216     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
217    
218 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
219    
220 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
221     the session state, only at code-level.
222 capela 1036
223 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
224 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
225 capela 1016
226 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
227     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
228     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
229     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
230     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
231     corrected some tooltip text strings.
232 capela 971
233 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
234     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
235     window managers.
236    
237 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
238 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
239     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
240     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
241 capela 957
242 capela 969 * GPL address update.
243 capela 920
244    
245 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
246    
247     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
248     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
249    
250 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
251    
252 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
253     installation paths have been added to configure command
254     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
255    
256 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
257     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
258     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
259     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
260     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
261    
262     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
263     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
264     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
265     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
266    
267 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
268    
269 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
270     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
271    
272 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
273     title name prefix.
274    
275 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
276     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
277     generated at configure time.
278    
279 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
280     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
281     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
282 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
283    
284 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
285    
286 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
287     compiled with -no-stl.
288    
289

291 capela 653
292 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
293 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
294     one, while on qjackctl).
295 capela 653
296 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
297     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
298 capela 661
299 capela 662
300 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
301 capela 586
302 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
303 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
304 capela 619
305 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
306 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
307 capela 590 info updates.
308 capela 586
309 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
310     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
311     device dialog.
312 capela 586
313 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
314    
315 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
316     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
317     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
318 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
319 capela 590
320 capela 600
321 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
322 schoenebeck 519
323 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
324 capela 426
325 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
326 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
327 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
328 capela 567
329 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
330 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
331 capela 426
332 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
333 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
334 capela 567
335 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
336 capela 526
337    
338 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
339 capela 327
340 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
341     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
342     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
343     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
344    
345 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
346     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
347     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
348    
349     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
350     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
351    
352 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
353    
354     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
355     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
356     change information are now also posted to messages window.
357    
358 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
359     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
360     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
361     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
362    
363 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
364     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
365 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
366    
367 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
368     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
369     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
370     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
371    
372     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
373 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
374     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
375    
376 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
377 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
378 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
379     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
380 capela 327
381    
382 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
383 capela 115
384 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
385     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
386     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
387    
388 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
389     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
390     following common user-interface guidelines.
391    
392 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
393     control structures.
394    
395 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
396    
397     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
398     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
399 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
400 capela 255
401     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
402 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
403 capela 255
404     * Minor configure fixes.
405    
406    
407     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
408    
409 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
410    
411 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
412     and on session file save.
413 capela 145
414 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
415     on create time.
416 capela 161
417 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
418    
419    
420 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
421    
422 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
423     over the empty workspace area.
424 capela 130
425 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
426     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
427     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
428     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
429    
430 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
431     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
432    
433     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
434     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
435    
436 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
437     each sampler channel strip.
438 capela 115
439 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
440     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
441    
442     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
443 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
444    
445 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
446     new sampler channel strip.
447 capela 115
448     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
449     suggested in the following lines:
450    
451     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
452     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
453     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
454     LOAD ENGINE ...
455     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
456     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
457    
458    
459 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
