6 capela 2718
7 capela 2725 0.3.0 2015-03-25 Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
8 capela 2563
9 capela 2724 * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
10    
11 capela 2722 * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
12 capela 2725 of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
13 capela 2724
14 capela 2718 * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
15    
16     * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
17     stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
18    
19 capela 2681 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
20     main toolbar orientation.
21    
22 capela 2669 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
23 capela 2725 as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
24 capela 2669
25 capela 2725 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
26 capela 2660
27 capela 2642 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on

36     instruments of the same file.
37 capela 2563
38 capela 2725 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
39 schoenebeck 2591 (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
40 schoenebeck 2569
41 schoenebeck 2591
42 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
43 capela 2028

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

67 persson 2144
68     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
69     and make.
70    
71 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
72     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
73     Debian 6.
74    
75 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
76 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
77 capela 2112
78 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
79 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
80     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
81     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
82 capela 2108
83 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
84    
85 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
86     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
87     wrong main widget hidden state.
88    
89 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
90    
91 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
92     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
93     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
94     targets (--enable-debug).
95    
96 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
97    
98 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
99     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
100     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
101    
102 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
103     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
104    
105 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
106     a menu separator has been added.
107 capela 2036
108 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
109     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
110    
111     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
112     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
113     lame green solid background :).
114    
115 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
116 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
117    
118 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
119 capela 2028
120

122 schoenebeck 1626
123 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
124     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
125     ever may follow ;)
126    
127 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
128    
129 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
130     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
131     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
132     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
133     a sampler the next time.
134 schoenebeck 1803
135 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
136    
137 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
138    
139 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
140     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
141     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
142     (default none).
143 capela 1749
144 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
145     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
146     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
147    
148 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
149     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
150     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
151     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
152 capela 1740
153 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
154     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
155    
156 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
157     screwed.
158    
159 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
160     e.g. by other frontends.
161 schoenebeck 1702
162 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
163     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
164     (fixes segfault on device changes)
165    
166 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
167     "View" main menu.
168 schoenebeck 1698
169 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
170    
171 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
172    
173 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
174     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
175 capela 1637
176 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
177     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
178 schoenebeck 1626
179    
180 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
181 schoenebeck 1461
182 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
183     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
184     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
185     default.
186 schoenebeck 1527
187 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
188     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
189

191     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
192    
193 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
194     creating a new sampler channel.
195    
196     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
197    
198 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
199     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
200     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
201     first time).
202    
203 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
204     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
205 schoenebeck 1486
206 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
207    
208 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
209     under win32.
210 schoenebeck 1493
211 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
212 schoenebeck 1461
213    
214 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
215 capela 1234
216 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
217     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
218 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
219     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
220 capela 1394
221 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
222     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
223     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
224     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
225    
226 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
227     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
228     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
229    
230 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
231    
232    
233 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
234 schoenebeck 736
235 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
236     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
237     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
238    
239 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
240    
241 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
242     the session state, only at code-level.
243 capela 1036
244 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
245 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
246 capela 1016
247 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
248     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
249     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
250     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
251     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
252     corrected some tooltip text strings.
253 capela 971
254 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
255     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
256     window managers.
257    
258 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
259 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
260     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
261     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
262 capela 957
263 capela 969 * GPL address update.
264 capela 920
265    
266 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
267    
268     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
269     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
270    
271 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
272    
273 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
274     installation paths have been added to configure command
275     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
276    
277 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
278     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
279     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
280     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
281     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
282    
283     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
284     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
285     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
286     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
287    
288 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
289    
290 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
291     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
292    
293 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
294     title name prefix.
295    
296 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
297     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
298     generated at configure time.
299    
300 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
301     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
302     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
303 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
304    
305 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
306    
307 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
308     compiled with -no-stl.
309    
310    
311 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
312 capela 653
313 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
314 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
315     one, while on qjackctl).
316 capela 653
317 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
318     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
319 capela 661
320 capela 662
321 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
322 capela 586

324 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
325 capela 619
326 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
327 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
328 capela 590 info updates.
329 capela 586
330 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
331     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
332     device dialog.
333 capela 586
334 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
335    
336 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
337     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
338     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
339 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
340 capela 590
341 capela 600
342 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
343 schoenebeck 519
344 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
345 capela 426
346 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
347 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
348 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
349 capela 567
350 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
351 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
352 capela 426
353 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
354 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
355 capela 567
356 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
357 capela 526
358    
359 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
360 capela 327
361 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
362     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
363     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
364     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
365    
366 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
367     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
368     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
369    
370     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
371     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
372    
373 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
374    
375     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
376     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
377     change information are now also posted to messages window.
378    
379 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
380     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
381     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
382     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
383    
384 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
385     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
386 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
387    
388 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
389     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
390     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
391     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
392    
393     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
394 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
395     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
396    
397 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
398 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
399 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
400     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
401 capela 327
402    
403 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
404 capela 115
405 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
406     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
407     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
408    
409 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
410     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
411     following common user-interface guidelines.
412    
413 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
414     control structures.
415    
416 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
417    
418     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
419     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
420 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
421 capela 255
422     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
423 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
424 capela 255
425     * Minor configure fixes.
426    
427    
428     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
429    
430 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
431    
432 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
433     and on session file save.
434 capela 145
435 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
436     on create time.
437 capela 161
438 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
439    
440    
441 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
442    
443 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
444     over the empty workspace area.
445 capela 130
446 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
447     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
448     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
449     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
450    
451 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
452     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
453    
454     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
455     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
456    
457 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
458     each sampler channel strip.
