9 capela 3001 - Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application
10     instance setup.
11    
12 capela 2987 - Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
13     line options, wrt. installation directories specification,

22    
23     * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
24 capela 2874 given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
25     Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
26    
27 schoenebeck 2910 * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
28     auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.

124 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
125 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
126 capela 2112
127 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
128 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
129     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
130     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
131 capela 2108
132 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
133    
134 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
135     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
136     wrong main widget hidden state.
137    
138 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
139    
140 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

148     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
149     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
150    
151 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
152     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
153    
154 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
155     a menu separator has been added.
156 capela 2036
157 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
158     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
159    
160     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
161     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
162     lame green solid background :).
163    
164 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
165 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
166

176 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
177    
178 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
179     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
180     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
181     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
182     a sampler the next time.
183 schoenebeck 1803
184 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
185    
186 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
187    
188 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
189     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
190     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
191     (default none).
192 capela 1749
193 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
194     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
195     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
196    
197 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
198     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
199     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
200     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
201 capela 1740
202 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
203     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
204    
205 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
206     screwed.
207    
208 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
209     e.g. by other frontends.
210 schoenebeck 1702
211 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
212     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
213     (fixes segfault on device changes)
214    
215 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
216     "View" main menu.
217 schoenebeck 1698
218 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
219    
220 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
221    
222 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
223     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
224 capela 1637
225 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
226     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
227 schoenebeck 1626
228    
229 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
230 schoenebeck 1461
231 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
232     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
233     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
234     default.
235 schoenebeck 1527
236 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
237     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
238    
239 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
240     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
241    
242 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
243     creating a new sampler channel.
244    
245     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
246    
247 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
248     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
249     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
250     first time).
251    
252 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
253     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
254 schoenebeck 1486
255 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
256    
257 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
258     under win32.
259 schoenebeck 1493
260 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
261 schoenebeck 1461
262    
263 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
264 capela 1234
265 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
266     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
267 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
268     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
269 capela 1394
270 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
271     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
272     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
273     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
274    
275 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
276     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
277     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
278    
279 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
280    
281    
282 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
283 schoenebeck 736
284 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
285     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
286     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
287    
288 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
289    
290 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
291     the session state, only at code-level.
292 capela 1036
293 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
294 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
295 capela 1016
296 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
297     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
298     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
299     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
300     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
301     corrected some tooltip text strings.
302 capela 971
303 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
304     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
305     window managers.
306    
307 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
308 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
309     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
310     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
311 capela 957
312 capela 969 * GPL address update.
313 capela 920
314    
315 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
316    
317     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
318     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
319    
320 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
321    
322 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
323     installation paths have been added to configure command
324     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
325    
326 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
327     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
328     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
329     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
330     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
331    
332     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
333     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
334     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
335     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
336    
337 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
338    
339 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
340     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
341    
342 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
343     title name prefix.
344    
345 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
346     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
347     generated at configure time.
348    
349 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
350     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
351     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
352 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
353    
354 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
355    
356 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
357     compiled with -no-stl.
358    
359

361 capela 653
362 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
363 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
364     one, while on qjackctl).
365 capela 653
366 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
367     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
368 capela 661
369 capela 662
370 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
371 capela 586
372 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
373 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
374 capela 619
375 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
376 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
377 capela 590 info updates.
378 capela 586
379 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
380     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
381     device dialog.
382 capela 586
383 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
384    
385 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
386     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
387     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
388 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
389 capela 590
390 capela 600
391 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
392 schoenebeck 519
393 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
394 capela 426
395 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
396 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
397 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
398 capela 567
399 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
400 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
401 capela 426
402 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
403 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
404 capela 567
405 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
406 capela 526
407    
408 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
409 capela 327
410 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
411     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
412     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
413     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
414    
415 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
416     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
417     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
418    
419     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
420     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
421    
422 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
423    
424     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
425     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
426     change information are now also posted to messages window.
427    
428 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
429     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
430     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
431     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
432    
433 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
434     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
435 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
436    
437 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
438     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
439     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
440     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
441    
442     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
443 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
444     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
445    
446 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
447 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
448 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
449     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
450 capela 327
451
