185 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
186 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has

191    
192 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

197    
198 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

208    
209 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
210     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
211    
212 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
213     a menu separator has been added.
214 capela 2036

216     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
217

235    
236 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
237     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
238     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
239     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
240     a sampler the next time.
241 schoenebeck 1803
242 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.

249     (default none).
250 capela 1749
251 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
252     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
253     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
254    
255 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
256     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
257     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
258     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
259 capela 1740
260 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
261     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
262

264     screwed.
265    
266 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
267     e.g. by other frontends.
268 schoenebeck 1702
269 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
270     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
271     (fixes segfault on device changes)
272    
273 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
274     "View" main menu.
275 schoenebeck 1698
276 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
277    
278 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
279    
280 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
281     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
282 capela 1637
283 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
284     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
285 schoenebeck 1626
286    
287 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
288 schoenebeck 1461
289 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
290     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
291     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
292     default.
293 schoenebeck 1527
294 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
295     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
296    
297 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
298     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
299    
300 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
301     creating a new sampler channel.
302    
303     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
304    
305 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
306     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
307     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
308     first time).
309    
310 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
311     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
312 schoenebeck 1486
313 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
314    
315 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles

322 capela 1234
323 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
324     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
325 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
326     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
327 capela 1394
328 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
329     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
330     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
331     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
332    
333 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
334     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
335     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
336    
337 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
338    
339    
340 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
341 schoenebeck 736
342 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
343     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
344     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
345    
346 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
347    
348 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
349     the session state, only at code-level.
350 capela 1036
351 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
352 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
353 capela 1016
354 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
355     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
356     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
357     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
358     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
359     corrected some tooltip text strings.
360 capela 971
361 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
362     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
363     window managers.
364    
365 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
366 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
367     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
368     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
369 capela 957
370 capela 969 * GPL address update.
371 capela 920
372    
373 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

376     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
377    
378 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
379    
380 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
381     installation paths have been added to configure command
382     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
383    
384 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
385     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
386     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
387     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
388     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
389    
390     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
391     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
392     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
393     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
394    
395 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
396    
397 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
398 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
399 capela 758
400 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
401     title name prefix.
402    
403 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
404     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
405     generated at configure time.
406    
407 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
408     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
409     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
410 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
411    
412 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
413

419 capela 653
420 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is

425     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
426 capela 661

432 capela 619
433 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
434 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
435 capela 590 info updates.
436 capela 586
437 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
438     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the

440 capela 586
441 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
442    
443 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
444     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
445     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
446 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
447 capela 590
448 capela 600

453 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
454 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
455 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
456 capela 567
457 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
458 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
459 capela 426
460 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
461 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
462 capela 567
463 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
464 capela 526
465    
466 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
467 capela 327
468 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
469     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
470     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
471     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
472    
473 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
474     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
475     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
476    
477     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
478     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
479    
480 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
481    
482     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
483     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;

485    
486 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
487     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
488     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
489     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
490    
491 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
492     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
493 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
494    
495 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
496     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
497     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
498     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
499    
500     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
501 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
502     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
503    
504 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
505 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
506 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
507     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
508 capela 327
509    
510 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
511 capela 115
512 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
513     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
514     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
515    
516 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
517     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
518     following common user-interface guidelines.
519    
520 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
521     control structures.
522    
523 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
524    
525     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
526     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
527 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
528 capela 255
529     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
530 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
531 capela 255
532     * Minor configure fixes.
533    
534    
535     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
536    
537 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
538    
539 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
540     and on session file save.
541 capela 145
542 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
543     on create time.
544 capela 161
545 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
546    
547    
548 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
549    
550 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
551     over the empty workspace area.
552 capela 130
553 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
554     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
555     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
556     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
557    
558 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
559     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
560    
561     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
562     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
563    
564 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
565     each sampler channel strip.
566 capela 115
567 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
568     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.

571 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
572    
573 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
574     new sampler channel strip.
575 capela 115
576     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
577     suggested in the following lines:
578    
579     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
580     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
581     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
582     LOAD ENGINE ...
583     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
584     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
