82     and make.
83    
84 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
85     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,

87    
88 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
89 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
90 capela 2112
91 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
92 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
93     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
94     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
95 capela 2108
96 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
97    
98 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

101    
102 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
103    
104 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

112     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
113     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
114    
115 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
116     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
117    
118 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
119     a menu separator has been added.
120 capela 2036
121 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
122     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
123    
124     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
125     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
126     lame green solid background :).
127    
128 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
129 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
130

140 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
141    
142 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
143     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
144     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
145     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
146     a sampler the next time.
147 schoenebeck 1803
148 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
149    
150 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
151    
152 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
153     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
154     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
155     (default none).
156 capela 1749
157 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
158     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
159     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
160    
161 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
162     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
163     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
164     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
165 capela 1740
166 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
167     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
168

170     screwed.
171    
172 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
173     e.g. by other frontends.
174 schoenebeck 1702
175 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
176     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
177     (fixes segfault on device changes)
178    
179 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
180     "View" main menu.
181 schoenebeck 1698
182 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
183    
184 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
185    
186 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
187     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
188 capela 1637
189 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
190     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
191 schoenebeck 1626
192    
193 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
194 schoenebeck 1461
195 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
196     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
197     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
198     default.
199 schoenebeck 1527
200 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
201     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
202

204     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
205    
206 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
207     creating a new sampler channel.
208    
209     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
210    
211 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
212     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
213     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
214     first time).
215    
216 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
217     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
218 schoenebeck 1486
219 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
220    
221 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
222     under win32.
223 schoenebeck 1493
224 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
225 schoenebeck 1461

227 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
228 capela 1234
229 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
230     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
231 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
232     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
233 capela 1394
234 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
235     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
236     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
237     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
238    
239 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
240     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
241     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
242    
243 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
244    
245    
246 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
247 schoenebeck 736
248 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
249     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
250     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
251    
252 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
253    
254 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
255     the session state, only at code-level.
256 capela 1036
257 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
258 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
259 capela 1016
260 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
261     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
262     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
263     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
264     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
265     corrected some tooltip text strings.
266 capela 971
267 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
268     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
269     window managers.
270    
271 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
272 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
273     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in

275 capela 957
276 capela 969 * GPL address update.
277 capela 920
278    
279 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
280    
281     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
282     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
283    
284 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
285    
286 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
287     installation paths have been added to configure command
288     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
289    
290 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
291     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
292     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
293     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
294     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
295    
296     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
297     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
298     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
299     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
300    
301 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
302    
303 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
304     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
305    
306 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
307     title name prefix.
308    
309 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
310     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
311     generated at configure time.
312    
313 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
314     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
315     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
316 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
317    
318 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
319    
320 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was

325 capela 653
326 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
327 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
328     one, while on qjackctl).
329 capela 653
330 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
331     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
332 capela 661
333 capela 662

338 capela 619
339 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
340 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
341 capela 590 info updates.
342 capela 586
343 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
344     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
345     device dialog.
346 capela 586
347 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
348    
349 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
350     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
351     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
352 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
353 capela 590
354 capela 600
355 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
356 schoenebeck 519
357 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
358 capela 426
359 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
360 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
361 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
362 capela 567
363 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
364 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
365 capela 426
366 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
367 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
368 capela 567
369 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
370 capela 526
371    
372 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
373 capela 327
374 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
375     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
376     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
377     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
378    
379 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
380     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
381     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
382    
383     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
384     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
385    
386 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
387    
388     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
389     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
390     change information are now also posted to messages window.
391    
392 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
393     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
394     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
395     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
396    
397 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
398     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
399 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
400    
401 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
402     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
403     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
404     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
405    
406     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
407 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
408     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
409    
410 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
411 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
412 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
413     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
414 capela 327
415    
416 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
417 capela 115
418 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
419     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
420     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
421    
422 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
423     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
424     following common user-interface guidelines.
425    
426 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
427     control structures.
428    
429 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
430    
431     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
432     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
433 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
434 capela 255
435     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
436 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
437 capela 255
438     * Minor configure fixes.
439    
440    
441     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
442    
443 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
444    
445 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
446     and on session file save.
447 capela 145
448 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
449     on create time.
450 capela 161
451 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
452    
453    
454 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
455    
456 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
457     over the empty workspace area.
458 capela 130
459 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
460     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
461     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
462     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
463    
464 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
465     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
466    
467     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
468     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
469    
470 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
471     each sampler channel strip.
472 capela 115
473 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
474     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
475    
476     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
477 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
478    
479 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
480     new sampler channel strip.
481 capela 115
482     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
483     suggested in the following lines:
484    
485     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
486     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
487     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
488     LOAD ENGINE ...
489     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
490     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
