95    
96 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
97     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,

99    
100 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
101 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
102 capela 2112
103 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
104 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
105     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
106     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
107 capela 2108
108 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
109    
110 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

114 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
115    
116 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

124     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
125     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
126    
127 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
128     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
129    
130 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
131     a menu separator has been added.
132 capela 2036
133 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
134     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
135    
136     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
137     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
138     lame green solid background :).
139    
140 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
141 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
142

152 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
153    
154 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
155     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
156     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
157     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
158     a sampler the next time.
159 schoenebeck 1803
160 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
161    
162 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
163    
164 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
165     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
166     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
167     (default none).
168 capela 1749
169 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
170     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
171     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
172    
173 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
174     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
175     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
176     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
177 capela 1740
178 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
179     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
180    
181 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
182     screwed.
183    
184 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
185     e.g. by other frontends.
186 schoenebeck 1702
187 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
188     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
189     (fixes segfault on device changes)
190    
191 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
192     "View" main menu.
193 schoenebeck 1698
194 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
195    
196 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
197    
198 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
199     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
200 capela 1637
201 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
202     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
203 schoenebeck 1626
204    
205 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
206 schoenebeck 1461
207 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
208     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
209     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
210     default.
211 schoenebeck 1527
212 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
213     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
214

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

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

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