6 capela 2681 GIT HEAD
7 capela 2563
8 capela 2681 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
9     main toolbar orientation.
10    
11 capela 2669 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
12     as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
13    
14 capela 2660 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
15    
16 capela 2642 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
17     debian, thanks).
18    
19 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
20    
21 capela 2563 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
22     (EXPERIMENTAL)
23    
24 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
25     the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
26     instruments of the same file.
27 capela 2563
28 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
29     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
30 schoenebeck 2569
31 schoenebeck 2712 * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
32 schoenebeck 2591
33 schoenebeck 2712
34 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
35 capela 2028
36 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
37    
38 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
39    
40 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
41     session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
42 capela 2387
43 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
44    
45 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
46    
47 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
48    
49 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
50     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
51 capela 2282
52 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
53 persson 2210
54 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
55 persson 2210
56 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
57    
58 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
59 persson 2144
60     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
61     and make.
62    
63 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
64     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
65     Debian 6.
66    
67 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
68 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
69 capela 2112
70 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
71 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
72     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
73     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
74 capela 2108
75 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
76    
77 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
78     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
79     wrong main widget hidden state.
80    
81 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
82    
83 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
84     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
85     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
86     targets (--enable-debug).

88 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
89    
90 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
91     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
92     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
93    
94 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
95     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
96    
97 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
98     a menu separator has been added.
99 capela 2036
100 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
101     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
102    
103     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
104     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
105     lame green solid background :).
106    
107 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
108 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
109    
110 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
111 capela 2028
112    
113 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
114 schoenebeck 1626
115 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
116     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
117     ever may follow ;)
118    
119 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
120    
121 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
122     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
123     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
124     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
125     a sampler the next time.
126 schoenebeck 1803
127 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
128    
129 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
130    
131 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
132     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
133     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
134     (default none).
135 capela 1749
136 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
137     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
138     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
139    
140 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
141     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
142     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
143     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
144 capela 1740
145 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
146     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
147    
148 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
149     screwed.
150    
151 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
152     e.g. by other frontends.
153 schoenebeck 1702
154 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
155     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
156     (fixes segfault on device changes)
157    
158 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
159     "View" main menu.
160 schoenebeck 1698
161 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
162    
163 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
164    
165 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
166     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
167 capela 1637
168 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
169     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
170 schoenebeck 1626
171    
172 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
173 schoenebeck 1461
174 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
175     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
176     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
177     default.
178 schoenebeck 1527
179 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
180     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
181    
182 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
183     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
184    
185 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
186     creating a new sampler channel.
187    
188     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
189    
190 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
191     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
192     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
193     first time).
194    
195 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
196     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
197 schoenebeck 1486
198 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
199    
200 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
201     under win32.
202 schoenebeck 1493
203 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
204 schoenebeck 1461
205    
206 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
207 capela 1234
208 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
209     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
210 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
211     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
212 capela 1394
213 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
214     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
215     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
216     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
217    
218 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
219     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
220     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
221    
222 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
223    
224    
225 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
226 schoenebeck 736
227 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
228     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
229     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
230    
231 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
232    
233 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
234     the session state, only at code-level.
235 capela 1036
236 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
237 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
238 capela 1016
239 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
240     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
241     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
242     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
243     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
244     corrected some tooltip text strings.
245 capela 971
246 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
247     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
248     window managers.
249    
250 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
251 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
252     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
253     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
254 capela 957
255 capela 969 * GPL address update.
256 capela 920
257    
258 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
259    
260     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
261     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
262    
263 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
264    
265 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
266     installation paths have been added to configure command
267     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
268    
269 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
270     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
271     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
272     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
273     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
274    
275     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
276     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
277     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
278     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
279    
280 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
281    
282 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
283     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
284    
285 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
286     title name prefix.
287    
288 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
289     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
290     generated at configure time.
291    
292 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
293     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
294     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
295 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
296    
297 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
298    
299 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
300     compiled with -no-stl.
301    
302

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