6 capela 2718
7 capela 2681 GIT HEAD
8 capela 2563
9 capela 2722 * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
10     of the nagging warning/error message boxes. (EXPERIMENTAL)
11    
12 capela 2718 * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
13    
14     * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
15     stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
16    
17 capela 2681 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
18     main toolbar orientation.
19    
20 capela 2669 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
21     as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
22    
23 capela 2660 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
24    
25 capela 2642 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
26     debian, thanks).
27    
28 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
29    
30 capela 2563 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
31     (EXPERIMENTAL)
32    
33 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when

35     instruments of the same file.
36 capela 2563
37 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
38     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
39 schoenebeck 2569
40 schoenebeck 2591
41 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
42 capela 2028

44    
45 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
46    
47 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for

65 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
66 persson 2144
67     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
68     and make.
69    
70 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
71     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
72     Debian 6.
73    
74 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
75 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
76 capela 2112
77 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
78 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
79     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
80     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
81 capela 2108
82 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
83    
84 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
85     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
86     wrong main widget hidden state.
87    
88 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
89    
90 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
91     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
92     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
93     targets (--enable-debug).

95 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
96    
97 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
98     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
99     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
100    
101 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
102     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
103    
104 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
105     a menu separator has been added.
106 capela 2036
107 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
108     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
109    
110     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
111     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
112     lame green solid background :).
113    
114 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
115 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
116    
117 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
118 capela 2028
119    
120 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
121 schoenebeck 1626
122 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
123     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
124     ever may follow ;)
125    
126 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
127    
128 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
129     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
130     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
131     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
132     a sampler the next time.
133 schoenebeck 1803
134 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
135    
136 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
137    
138 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
139     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
140     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
141     (default none).
142 capela 1749
143 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
144     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
145     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
146    
147 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
148     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
149     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
150     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
151 capela 1740
152 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
153     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
154    
155 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
156     screwed.
157    
158 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
159     e.g. by other frontends.
160 schoenebeck 1702
161 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
162     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
163     (fixes segfault on device changes)
164    
165 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
166     "View" main menu.
167 schoenebeck 1698
168 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
169    
170 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
171    
172 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
173     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
174 capela 1637
175 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
176     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
177 schoenebeck 1626
178    
179 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
180 schoenebeck 1461
181 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
182     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
183     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
184     default.
185 schoenebeck 1527
186 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
187     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
188

190     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
191    
192 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
193     creating a new sampler channel.
194    
195     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
196    
197 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
198     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
199     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
200     first time).
201    
202 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
203     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
204 schoenebeck 1486
205 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
206    
207 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
208     under win32.
209 schoenebeck 1493
210 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
211 schoenebeck 1461
212    
213 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
214 capela 1234
215 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
216     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
217 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
218     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
219 capela 1394
220 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
221     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
222     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
223     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
224    
225 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
226     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
227     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
228    
229 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
230    
231    
232 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
233 schoenebeck 736
234 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
235     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
236     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
237    
238 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
239    
240 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
241     the session state, only at code-level.
242 capela 1036
243 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
244 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
245 capela 1016
246 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
247     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
248     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
249     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
250     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
251     corrected some tooltip text strings.
252 capela 971
253 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
254     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
255     window managers.
256    
257 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
258 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
259     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
260     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
261 capela 957
262 capela 969 * GPL address update.
263 capela 920
264    
265 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
266    
267     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
268     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
269    
270 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
271    
272 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
273     installation paths have been added to configure command
274     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
275    
276 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
277     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
278     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
279     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
280     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
281    
282     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
283     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
284     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
285     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
286    
287 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
288    
289 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
290     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
291    
292 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
293     title name prefix.
294    
295 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
296     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
297     generated at configure time.
298    
299 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
300     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
301     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
302 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
303    
304 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
305    
306 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
307     compiled with -no-stl.
308    
309

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

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