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

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 2717 * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to stop the
34     LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
35 schoenebeck 2712

37 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
38 capela 2028
39 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
40    
41 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
42    
43 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for

45 capela 2387
46 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
47    
48 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
49    
50 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
51

53     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
54 capela 2282
55 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
56 persson 2210
57 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
58 persson 2210
59 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
60    
61 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
62 persson 2144
63     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
64     and make.
65    
66 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
67     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
68     Debian 6.
69    
70 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
71 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
72 capela 2112
73 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
74 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
75     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
76     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
77 capela 2108
78 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
79    
80 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
81     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
82     wrong main widget hidden state.
83    
84 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
85    
86 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
87     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
88     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
89     targets (--enable-debug).
90    
91 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
92    
93 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
94     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
95     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
96    
97 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
98     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
99    
100 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
101     a menu separator has been added.
102 capela 2036
103 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
104     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
105    
106     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
107     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
108     lame green solid background :).
109    
110 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
111 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
112    
113 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
114 capela 2028
115    
116 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
117 schoenebeck 1626
118 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
119     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
120     ever may follow ;)
121    
122 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
123    
124 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
125     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
126     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
127     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
128     a sampler the next time.
129 schoenebeck 1803
130 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
131    
132 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
133    
134 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
135     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
136     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
137     (default none).
138 capela 1749
139 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
140     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
141     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
142    
143 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
144     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
145     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
146     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
147 capela 1740
148 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
149     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
150    
151 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
152     screwed.
153    
154 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
155     e.g. by other frontends.
156 schoenebeck 1702
157 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
158     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
159     (fixes segfault on device changes)
160    
161 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
162     "View" main menu.
163 schoenebeck 1698
164 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
165    
166 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
167    
168 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
169     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
170 capela 1637
171 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
172     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
173 schoenebeck 1626
174    
175 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
176 schoenebeck 1461
177 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
178     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
179     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
180     default.
181 schoenebeck 1527
182 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
183     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
184    
185 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
186     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
187    
188 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
189     creating a new sampler channel.
190    
191     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
192    
193 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
194     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
195     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
196     first time).
197    
198 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
199     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
200 schoenebeck 1486
201 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
202    
203 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
204     under win32.
205 schoenebeck 1493
206 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
207 schoenebeck 1461
208    
209 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
210 capela 1234
211 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
212     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
213 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
214     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
215 capela 1394
216 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
217     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
218     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
219     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
220    
221 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
222     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
223     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
224    
225 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
226    
227    
228 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
229 schoenebeck 736
230 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
231     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
232     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
233    
234 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
235    
236 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
237     the session state, only at code-level.
238 capela 1036
239 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
240 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
241 capela 1016
242 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
243     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
244     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
245     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
246     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
247     corrected some tooltip text strings.
248 capela 971
249 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
250     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
251     window managers.
252    
253 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
254 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
255     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
256     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
257 capela 957
258 capela 969 * GPL address update.
259 capela 920
260    
261 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
262    
263     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
264     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
265    
266 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
267    
268 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
269     installation paths have been added to configure command
270     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
271    
272 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
273     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
274     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
275     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
276     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
277    
278     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
279     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
280     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
281     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
282    
283 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
284    
285 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
286     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
287    
288 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
289     title name prefix.
290    
291 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
292     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
293     generated at configure time.
294    
295 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
296     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
297     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
298 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
299    
300 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
301    
302 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
303     compiled with -no-stl.
304    
305

307 capela 653
308 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
309 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
310     one, while on qjackctl).
311 capela 653
312 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
313     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
314 capela 661
315 capela 662
316 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
317 capela 586

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