6 capela 2718
7 capela 2681 GIT HEAD
8 capela 2563
9 capela 2718 * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
10    
11     * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
12     stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
13    
14 capela 2681 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
15     main toolbar orientation.
16    
17 capela 2669 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
18     as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
19    
20 capela 2660 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
21    
22 capela 2642 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
23     debian, thanks).
24    
25 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
26    
27 capela 2563 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
28     (EXPERIMENTAL)
29    
30 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
31     the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
32     instruments of the same file.
33 capela 2563
34 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
35     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
36 schoenebeck 2569
37 schoenebeck 2591
38 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
39 capela 2028
40 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
41    
42 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
43    
44 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
45     session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
46 capela 2387
47 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
48    
49 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
50    
51 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
52    
53 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
54     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
55 capela 2282
56 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
57 persson 2210
58 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
59 persson 2210
60 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
61    
62 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
63 persson 2144
64     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
65     and make.
66    
67 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
68     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
69     Debian 6.
70    
71 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
72 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
73 capela 2112
74 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
75 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
76     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
77     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
78 capela 2108
79 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
80    
81 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
82     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
83     wrong main widget hidden state.
84    
85 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
86    
87 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
88     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
89     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
90     targets (--enable-debug).
91    
92 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
93    
94 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
95     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
96     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
97    
98 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
99     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
100    
101 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
102     a menu separator has been added.
103 capela 2036
104 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
105     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
106    
107     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
108     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
109     lame green solid background :).
110    
111 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
112 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
113    
114 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
115 capela 2028
116    
117 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
118 schoenebeck 1626
119 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
120     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
121     ever may follow ;)
122    
123 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
124    
125 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
126     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
127     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
128     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
129     a sampler the next time.
130 schoenebeck 1803
131 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
132    
133 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
134    
135 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
136     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
137     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
138     (default none).
139 capela 1749
140 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
141     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
142     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
143    
144 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
145     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
146     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
147     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
148 capela 1740
149 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
150     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
151    
152 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
153     screwed.
154    
155 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
156     e.g. by other frontends.
157 schoenebeck 1702
158 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
159     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
160     (fixes segfault on device changes)
161    
162 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
163     "View" main menu.
164 schoenebeck 1698
165 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
166    
167 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
168    
169 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
170     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
171 capela 1637
172 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
173     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
174 schoenebeck 1626
175    
176 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
177 schoenebeck 1461
178 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
179     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
180     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
181     default.
182 schoenebeck 1527
183 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
184     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
185    
186 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
187     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
188    
189 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
190     creating a new sampler channel.
191    
192     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
193    
194 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
195     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
196     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
197     first time).
198    
199 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
200     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
201 schoenebeck 1486
202 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
203    
204 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
205     under win32.
206 schoenebeck 1493
207 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
208 schoenebeck 1461
209    
210 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
211 capela 1234
212 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
213     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
214 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
215     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
216 capela 1394
217 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
218     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
219     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
220     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
221    
222 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
223     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
224     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
225    
226 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
227    
228    
229 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
230 schoenebeck 736
231 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
232     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
233     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
234    
235 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
236    
237 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
238     the session state, only at code-level.
239 capela 1036
240 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
241 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
242 capela 1016
243 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
244     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
245     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
246     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
247     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
248     corrected some tooltip text strings.
249 capela 971
250 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
251     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
252     window managers.
253    
254 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
255 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
256     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
257     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
258 capela 957
259 capela 969 * GPL address update.
260 capela 920
261    
262 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
263    
264     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
265     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
266    
267 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
268    
269 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
270     installation paths have been added to configure command
271     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
272    
273 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
274     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
275     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
276     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
277     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
278    
279     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
280     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
281     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
282     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
283    
284 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
285    
286 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
287     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
288    
289 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
290     title name prefix.
291    
292 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
293     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
294     generated at configure time.
295    
296 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
297     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
298     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
299 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
300    
301 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
302    
303 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
304     compiled with -no-stl.
305    
306    
307 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
308 capela 653
309 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
310 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
311     one, while on qjackctl).
312 capela 653
313 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
314     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
315 capela 661
316 capela 662
317 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
318 capela 586
319 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
320 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
321 capela 619
322 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
323 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
324 capela 590 info updates.
325 capela 586
326 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
327     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
328     device dialog.
329 capela 586
330 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
331    
332 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
333     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
334     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
335 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
336 capela 590
337 capela 600
338 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
339 schoenebeck 519
340 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
341 capela 426
342 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
343 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
344 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
345 capela 567
346 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
347 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
348 capela 426
349 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
350 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
351 capela 567
352 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
353 capela 526
354    
355 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
356 capela 327
357 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
358     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
359     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
360     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
361    
362 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
363     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
364     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
365    
366     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
367     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
368    
369 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
370    
371     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
372     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
373     change information are now also posted to messages window.
374    
375 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
376     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
377     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
378     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
379    
380 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
381     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
382 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
383    
384 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
385     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
386     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
387     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
388    
389     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
390 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
391     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
392    
393 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
394 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
395 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
396     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
397 capela 327
398    
399 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
400 capela 115
401 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
402     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
403     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
404    
405 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
406     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
407     following common user-interface guidelines.
408    
409 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
410     control structures.
411    
412 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
413    
414     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
415     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
416 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
417 capela 255
418     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
419 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
420 capela 255
421     * Minor configure fixes.
422    
423    
424     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
425    
426 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
427    
428 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
429     and on session file save.
430 capela 145
431 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
432     on create time.
433 capela 161
434 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
435    
436    
437 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
438    
439 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
440     over the empty workspace area.
441 capela 130
442 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
443     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
444     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
445     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
446    
447 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
448     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
449    
450     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
451     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
452    
453 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
454     each sampler channel strip.
455 capela 115
456 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
457     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
458    
459     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
460 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
461    
462 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
