8 capela 2660 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
9    
10 capela 2642 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
11     debian, thanks).
12    
13 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
14

16     (EXPERIMENTAL)
17    
18 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when

20     instruments of the same file.
21 capela 2563
22 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
23     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).

25 schoenebeck 2591
26 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
27 capela 2028

37 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
38    
39 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
40    
41 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the

43 capela 2282
44 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
45 persson 2210
46 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.

48 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
49    
50 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
51 persson 2144
52     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
53     and make.
54    
55 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
56     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
57     Debian 6.
58    
59 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
60 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
61 capela 2112
62 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
63 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
64     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
65     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
66 capela 2108
67 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
68    
69 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
70     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
71     wrong main widget hidden state.
72    
73 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
74    
75 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
76     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
77     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
78     targets (--enable-debug).
79    
80 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
81    
82 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
83     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
84     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
85    
86 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
87     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
88    
89 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
90     a menu separator has been added.
91 capela 2036
92 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
93     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
94    
95     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
96     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
97     lame green solid background :).
98    
99 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
100 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
101    
102 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
103 capela 2028
104    
105 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
106 schoenebeck 1626
107 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
108     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
109     ever may follow ;)
110    
111 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
112    
113 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
114     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
115     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
116     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
117     a sampler the next time.
118 schoenebeck 1803
119 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
120    
121 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
122    
123 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
124     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
125     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
126     (default none).
127 capela 1749
128 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
129     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
130     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
131    
132 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
133     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
134     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
135     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
136 capela 1740
137 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
138     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
139    
140 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
141     screwed.
142    
143 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
144     e.g. by other frontends.
145 schoenebeck 1702
146 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
147     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
148     (fixes segfault on device changes)
149    
150 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
151     "View" main menu.
152 schoenebeck 1698
153 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
154    
155 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
156    
157 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
158     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
159 capela 1637
160 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
161     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
162 schoenebeck 1626
163    
164 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
165 schoenebeck 1461
166 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
167     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
168     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
169     default.
170 schoenebeck 1527
171 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
172     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
173

175     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
176    
177 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
178     creating a new sampler channel.
179    
180     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
181    
182 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
183     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
184     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
185     first time).
186    
187 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
188     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
189 schoenebeck 1486
190 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
191    
192 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
193     under win32.
194 schoenebeck 1493
195 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
196 schoenebeck 1461
197    
198 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
199 capela 1234
200 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
201     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
202 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
203     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
204 capela 1394
205 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
206     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
207     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
208     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
209    
210 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
211     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
212     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
213    
214 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
215    
216    
217 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
218 schoenebeck 736
219 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
220     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
221     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
222    
223 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
224    
225 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
226     the session state, only at code-level.
227 capela 1036
228 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
229 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
230 capela 1016
231 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
232     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
233     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
234     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
235     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
236     corrected some tooltip text strings.
237 capela 971
238 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
239     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
240     window managers.
241    
242 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
243 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
244     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
245     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
246 capela 957
247 capela 969 * GPL address update.
248 capela 920
249    
250 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
251    
252     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
253     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
254    
255 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
256    
257 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
258     installation paths have been added to configure command
259     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
260    
261 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
262     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
263     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
264     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
265     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
266    
267     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
268     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
269     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
270     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
271    
272 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
273    
274 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
275     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
276    
277 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
278     title name prefix.
279    
280 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
281     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
282     generated at configure time.
283    
284 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
285     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
286     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
287 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
288    
289 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
290    
291 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
292     compiled with -no-stl.
293    
294

296 capela 653
297 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
298 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
299     one, while on qjackctl).
300 capela 653
301 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
302     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
303 capela 661
304 capela 662
305 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
306 capela 586
307 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
308 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
309 capela 619
310 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
311 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
312 capela 590 info updates.
313 capela 586
314 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
315     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
316     device dialog.
317 capela 586
318 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
319    
320 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
321     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
322     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
323 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
324 capela 590
325 capela 600
326 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
327 schoenebeck 519
328 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
329 capela 426
330 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
331 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
332 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
333 capela 567
334 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
335 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
336 capela 426
337 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
338 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
339 capela 567
340 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
341 capela 526
342    
343 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
344 capela 327
345 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
346     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
347     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
348     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
349    
350 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
351     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
352     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
353    
354     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
355     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
356    
357 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
358    
359     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
360     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
361     change information are now also posted to messages window.
362    
363 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
364     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
365     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
366     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
367    
368 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
369     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
370 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
371    
372 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
373     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
374     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
375     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
376    
377     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
378 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
379     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
380    
381 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
382 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
383 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
384     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
385 capela 327
386    
387 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
388 capela 115
389 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
390     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
391     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
392    
393 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
394     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
395     following common user-interface guidelines.
396    
397 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
398     control structures.
399    
400 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
401    
402     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
403     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
404 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
405 capela 255
406     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
407 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
408 capela 255
409     * Minor configure fixes.
410    
411    
412     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
413    
414 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
415    
416 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
417     and on session file save.
418 capela 145
419 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
420     on create time.
421 capela 161
422 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
423    
424    
425 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
426    
427 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
428     over the empty workspace area.
429 capela 130
430 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
431     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
432     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
433     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
434    
435 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
436     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
437    
438     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
439     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
440    
441 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
442     each sampler channel strip.
443 capela 115
444 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
445     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
446    
447     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
448 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
449    
450 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
451     new sampler channel strip.
452 capela 115
453     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
454     suggested in the following lines:
455    
456     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
457     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
458     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
459     LOAD ENGINE ...
460     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
461     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
462    
463    
464 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
