96 capela 2112
97 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
98 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
99     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
100     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
101 capela 2108
102 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
103    
104 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

108 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
109    
110 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

119     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
120    
121 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
122     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
123    
124 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
125     a menu separator has been added.
126 capela 2036

128     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
129    
130     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
131     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
132     lame green solid background :).
133    
134 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
135 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
136

144     ever may follow ;)
145    
146 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
147    
148 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
149     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
150     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
151     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
152     a sampler the next time.
153 schoenebeck 1803
154 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
155    
156 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
157    
158 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
159     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
160     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
161     (default none).
162 capela 1749
163 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
164     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
165     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
166    
167 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
168     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
169     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
170     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
171 capela 1740
172 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
173     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
174

176     screwed.
177    
178 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
179     e.g. by other frontends.
180 schoenebeck 1702
181 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
182     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
183     (fixes segfault on device changes)
184    
185 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
186     "View" main menu.
187 schoenebeck 1698
188 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
189    
190 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
191    
192 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
193     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
194 capela 1637
195 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
196     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
197 schoenebeck 1626
198    
199 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
200 schoenebeck 1461
201 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
202     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
203     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
204     default.
205 schoenebeck 1527
206 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
207     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
208    
209 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
210     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
211    
212 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
213     creating a new sampler channel.
214    
215     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
216    
217 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
218     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
219     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
220     first time).
221    
222 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
223     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
224 schoenebeck 1486
225 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
226    
227 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
228     under win32.
229 schoenebeck 1493
230 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
231 schoenebeck 1461
232    
233 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
234 capela 1234
235 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
236     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
237 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
238     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
239 capela 1394
240 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
241     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
242     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
243     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
244    
245 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
246     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
247     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
248    
249 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
250    
251    
252 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
253 schoenebeck 736
254 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
255     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
256     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
257    
258 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
259    
260 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
261     the session state, only at code-level.
262 capela 1036
263 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
264 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
265 capela 1016
266 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
267     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
268     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
269     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
270     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
271     corrected some tooltip text strings.
272 capela 971
273 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
274     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
275     window managers.
276    
277 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
278 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
279     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
280     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
281 capela 957
282 capela 969 * GPL address update.
283 capela 920
284    
285 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
286    
287     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
288     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
289    
290 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
291    
292 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
293     installation paths have been added to configure command
294     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
295    
296 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
297     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
298     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
299     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
300     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
301    
302     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
303     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
304     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
305     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
306    
307 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
308    
309 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
310     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
311    
312 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
313     title name prefix.
314    
315 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
316     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
317     generated at configure time.
318    
319 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
320     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
321     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
322 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
323    
324 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
325    
326 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
327     compiled with -no-stl.
328

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

344 capela 619
345 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
346 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
347 capela 590 info updates.
348 capela 586
349 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
350     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
351     device dialog.
352 capela 586
353 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
354    
355 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
356     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
357     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
358 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
359 capela 590
360 capela 600
361 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
362 schoenebeck 519
363 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
364 capela 426
365 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
366 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
367 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
368 capela 567
369 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
370 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
371 capela 426
372 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
373 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
374 capela 567
375 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
376 capela 526
377    
378 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
379 capela 327
380 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
381     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
382     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
383     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
384    
385 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
386     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
387     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
388    
389     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
390     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
391    
392 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
393    
394     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
395     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
396     change information are now also posted to messages window.
397    
398 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
399     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
400     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
401     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
402    
403 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
404     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
405 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
406    
407 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
408     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
409     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
410     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
411    
412     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
413 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
414     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
415    
416 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
417 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
418 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
419     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
420 capela 327
421    
422 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
423 capela 115
424 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
425     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
426     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
427    
428 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
429     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
430     following common user-interface guidelines.
431    
432 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
433     control structures.
434    
435 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
436    
437     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
438     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
439 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
440 capela 255
441     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
442 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
443 capela 255
444     * Minor configure fixes.
445    
446    
447     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
448    
449 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
450    
451 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
452     and on session file save.
453 capela 145
454 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
455     on create time.
456 capela 161
457 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
458    
459
