94    
95 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
96     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
97     Debian 6.
98    
99 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
100 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
101 capela 2112
102 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
103 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
104     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
105     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
106 capela 2108
107 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
108    
109 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

114    
115 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

123     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
124     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
125    
126 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
127     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
128    
129 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
130     a menu separator has been added.
131 capela 2036

133     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
134    
135     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
136     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
137     lame green solid background :).
138    
139 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
140 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
141

151 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
152    
153 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
154     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
155     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
156     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
157     a sampler the next time.
158 schoenebeck 1803
159 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
160    
161 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
162    
163 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
164     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
165     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
166     (default none).
167 capela 1749
168 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
169     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
170     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
171    
172 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
173     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
174     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
175     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
176 capela 1740
177 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
178     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
179

181     screwed.
182    
183 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
184     e.g. by other frontends.
185 schoenebeck 1702
186 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
187     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
188     (fixes segfault on device changes)
189    
190 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
191     "View" main menu.
192 schoenebeck 1698
193 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
194    
195 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
196    
197 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
198     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
199 capela 1637
200 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
201     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
202 schoenebeck 1626
203    
204 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
205 schoenebeck 1461
206 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
207     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
208     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
209     default.
210 schoenebeck 1527
211 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
212     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
213

215     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
216    
217 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
218     creating a new sampler channel.
219    
220     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
221    
222 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
223     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
224     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
225     first time).
226    
227 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
228     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
229 schoenebeck 1486
230 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
231    
232 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
233     under win32.
234 schoenebeck 1493
235 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
236 schoenebeck 1461
237    
238 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
239 capela 1234
240 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
241     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
242 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
243     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
244 capela 1394
245 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
246     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
247     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
248     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
249    
250 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
251     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
252     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
253    
254 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
255    
256    
257 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
258 schoenebeck 736
259 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
260     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
261     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
262    
263 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
264    
265 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
266     the session state, only at code-level.
267 capela 1036
268 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
269 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
270 capela 1016
271 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
272     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
273     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
274     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
275     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
276     corrected some tooltip text strings.
277 capela 971
278 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
279     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
280     window managers.
281    
282 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
283 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
284     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
285     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
286 capela 957
287 capela 969 * GPL address update.
288 capela 920
289    
290 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
291    
292     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
293     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
294    
295 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
296    
297 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
298     installation paths have been added to configure command
299     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
300    
301 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
302     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
303     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
304     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
305     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
306    
307     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
308     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
309     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
310     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
311    
312 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
313    
314 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
315     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
316    
317 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
318     title name prefix.
319    
320 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
321     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
322     generated at configure time.
323    
324 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
325     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
326     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
327 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
328    
329 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
330    
331 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was

336 capela 653
337 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
338 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
339     one, while on qjackctl).
340 capela 653
341 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
342     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
343 capela 661
344 capela 662
345 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.

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