8 capela 2669 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
9     as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
10    
11 capela 2660 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
12    
13 capela 2642 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
14     debian, thanks).
15    
16 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
17    
18 capela 2563 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
19     (EXPERIMENTAL)
20    
21 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
22     the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
23     instruments of the same file.
24 capela 2563
25 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
26     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
27 schoenebeck 2569
28 schoenebeck 2591
29 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
30 capela 2028
31 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
32    
33 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
34    
35 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for

37 capela 2387
38 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
39    
40 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
41    
42 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
43    
44 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
45     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
46 capela 2282
47 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
48 persson 2210
49 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
50 persson 2210
51 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
52    
53 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
54 persson 2144
55     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
56     and make.
57    
58 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
59     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
60     Debian 6.
61    
62 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
63 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
64 capela 2112
65 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
66 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
67     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
68     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
69 capela 2108
70 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
71    
72 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
73     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
74     wrong main widget hidden state.
75    
76 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
77    
78 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
79     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
80     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
81     targets (--enable-debug).

83 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
84    
85 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
86     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
87     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
88    
89 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
90     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
91    
92 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
93     a menu separator has been added.
94 capela 2036
95 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
96     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
97    
98     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
99     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
100     lame green solid background :).
101    
102 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
103 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
104    
105 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
106 capela 2028
107    
108 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
109 schoenebeck 1626
110 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
111     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
112     ever may follow ;)
113    
114 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
115    
116 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
117     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
118     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
119     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
120     a sampler the next time.
121 schoenebeck 1803
122 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
123    
124 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
125    
126 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
127     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
128     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
129     (default none).
130 capela 1749
131 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
132     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
133     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
134    
135 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
136     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
137     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
138     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
139 capela 1740
140 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
141     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
142    
143 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
144     screwed.
145    
146 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
147     e.g. by other frontends.
148 schoenebeck 1702
149 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
150     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
151     (fixes segfault on device changes)
152    
153 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
154     "View" main menu.
155 schoenebeck 1698
156 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
157    
158 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
159    
160 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
161     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
162 capela 1637
163 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
164     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
165 schoenebeck 1626
166    
167 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
168 schoenebeck 1461
169 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
170     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
171     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
172     default.
173 schoenebeck 1527
174 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
175     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
176    
177 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
178     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
179    
180 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
181     creating a new sampler channel.
182    
183     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
184    
185 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
186     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
187     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
188     first time).
189    
190 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
191     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
192 schoenebeck 1486
193 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
194    
195 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
196     under win32.
197 schoenebeck 1493
198 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
199 schoenebeck 1461
200    
201 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
202 capela 1234
203 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
204     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
205 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
206     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
207 capela 1394
208 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
209     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
210     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
211     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
212    
213 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
214     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
215     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
216    
217 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
218    
219    
220 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
221 schoenebeck 736
222 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
223     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
224     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
225    
226 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
227    
228 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
229     the session state, only at code-level.
230 capela 1036
231 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
232 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
233 capela 1016
234 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
235     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
236     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
237     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
238     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
239     corrected some tooltip text strings.
240 capela 971
241 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
242     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
243     window managers.
244    
245 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
246 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
247     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
248     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
249 capela 957
250 capela 969 * GPL address update.
251 capela 920
252    
253 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
254    
255     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
256     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
257    
258 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
259    
260 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
261     installation paths have been added to configure command
262     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
263    
264 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
265     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
266     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
267     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
268     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
269    
270     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
271     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
272     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
273     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
274    
275 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
276    
277 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
278     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
279    
280 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
281     title name prefix.
282    
283 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
284     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
285     generated at configure time.
286    
287 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
288     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
289     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
290 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
291    
292 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
293    
294 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
295     compiled with -no-stl.
296    
297    
298 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
299 capela 653
300 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
301 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
302     one, while on qjackctl).
303 capela 653
304 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
305     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
306 capela 661
307 capela 662
308 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
309 capela 586
310 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
311 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
312 capela 619
313 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
314 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
315 capela 590 info updates.
316 capela 586
317 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
318     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
319     device dialog.
320 capela 586
321 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
322    
323 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
324     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
325     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
326 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
327 capela 590
328 capela 600
329 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
330 schoenebeck 519
331 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
332 capela 426
333 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
334 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
335 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
336 capela 567
337 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
338 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
339 capela 426
340 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
341 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
342 capela 567
343 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
344 capela 526
345    
346 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
347 capela 327
348 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
349     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
350     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
351     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
352    
353 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
354     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
355     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
356    
357     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
358     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
359    
360 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
361    
362     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
363     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
364     change information are now also posted to messages window.
365    
366 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
367     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
368     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
369     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
370    
371 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
372     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
373 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
374    
375 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
376     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
377     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
378     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
379    
380     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
381 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
382     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
383    
384 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
385 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
386 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
387     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
388 capela 327
389    
390 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
391 capela 115
392 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
393     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
394     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
395    
396 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
397     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
398     following common user-interface guidelines.
399    
400 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
401     control structures.
402    
403 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
404    
405     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
406     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
407 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
408 capela 255
409     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
410 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
411 capela 255
412     * Minor configure fixes.
413    
414    
415     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
416    
417 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
418    
419 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
420     and on session file save.
421 capela 145
422 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
423     on create time.
424 capela 161
425 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
426    
427    
428 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
429    
430 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
431     over the empty workspace area.
432 capela 130
433 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
434     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
435     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
436     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
437    
438 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
439     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
440    
441     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
442     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
443    
444 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
445     each sampler channel strip.
446 capela 115
447 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
448     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
449    
450     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
451 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
452    
453 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
454     new sampler channel strip.
455 capela 115
456     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
457     suggested in the following lines:
458    
459     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
460     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
461     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
462     LOAD ENGINE ...
