ChangeLog |
5 |
|
6 |
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
7 |
|
8 |
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
9 |
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
10 |
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
11 |
|
12 |
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
13 |
|
14 |
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
15 |
the session state, only at code-level. |
16 |
|
17 |
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
18 |
existing instrument file name. |
19 |
|
20 |
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
21 |
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
22 |
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
23 |
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
24 |
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
25 |
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
26 |
|
27 |
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
28 |
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
29 |
window managers. |
30 |
|
31 |
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
32 |
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
33 |
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
34 |
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
35 |
|
36 |
* GPL address update. |
37 |
|
38 |
|
39 |
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
40 |
|
41 |
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
42 |
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
43 |
|
44 |
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
45 |
|
46 |
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
47 |
installation paths have been added to configure command |
48 |
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
49 |
|
50 |
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
51 |
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
52 |
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
53 |
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
54 |
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
55 |
|
56 |
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
57 |
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
58 |
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
59 |
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
60 |
|
61 |
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
62 |
|
63 |
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
64 |
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
65 |
|
66 |
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
67 |
title name prefix. |
68 |
|
69 |
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
70 |
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
71 |
generated at configure time. |
72 |
|
73 |
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
74 |
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
75 |
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
76 |
argument have some effect on X11. |
77 |
|
78 |
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
79 |
|
80 |
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
81 |
compiled with -no-stl. |
82 |
|
83 |
|
84 |
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
85 |
|
86 |
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
87 |
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
88 |
one, while on qjackctl). |
89 |
|
90 |
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
91 |
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
92 |
|
93 |
|
94 |
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
95 |
|
96 |
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
97 |
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
98 |
|
99 |
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
100 |
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
101 |
info updates. |
102 |
|
103 |
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
104 |
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
105 |
device dialog. |
106 |
|
107 |
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
108 |
|
109 |
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
110 |
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
111 |
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
112 |
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
113 |
|
114 |
|
115 |
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
116 |
|
117 |
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
118 |
|
119 |
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
120 |
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
121 |
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
122 |
|
123 |
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
124 |
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
125 |
|
126 |
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
127 |
an instrument. |
128 |
|
129 |
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
130 |
|
131 |
|
132 |
0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
133 |
|
134 |
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
135 |
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
136 |
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
137 |
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
138 |
|
139 |
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
140 |
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
141 |
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
142 |
|
143 |
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
144 |
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
145 |
|
146 |
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
147 |
|
148 |
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
149 |
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
150 |
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
151 |
|
152 |
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
153 |
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
154 |
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
155 |
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
156 |
|
157 |
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
158 |
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
159 |
sampler instrument file. |
160 |
|
161 |
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
162 |
from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, |
163 |
avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the |
164 |
channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. |
165 |
|
166 |
* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where |
167 |
available, as the default handler is usually fatal when |
168 |
a JACK client is zombified abruptly. |
169 |
|
170 |
* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line |
171 |
count exceeds in one third the user configured line count |
172 |
maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is |
173 |
otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. |
174 |
|
175 |
|
176 |
0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. |
177 |
|
178 |
* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; |
179 |
actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from |
180 |
the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. |
181 |
|
182 |
* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, |
183 |
the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, |
184 |
following common user-interface guidelines. |
185 |
|
186 |
* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal |
187 |
control structures. |
188 |
|
189 |
* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. |
190 |
|
191 |
* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing |
192 |
the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler |
193 |
channel (omni mode). |
194 |
|
195 |
* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background |
196 |
color to black (was green), being now an user option. |
197 |
|
198 |
* Minor configure fixes. |
199 |
|
200 |
|
201 |
0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release. |
202 |
|
203 |
* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. |
204 |
|
205 |
* Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog, |
206 |
and on session file save. |
207 |
|
208 |
* Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults |
209 |
on create time. |
210 |
|
211 |
* Implied channel reset on successful instrument load. |
212 |
|
213 |
|
214 |
0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release. |
215 |
|
216 |
* The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking |
217 |
over the empty workspace area. |
218 |
|
219 |
* Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(), |
220 |
so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and |
221 |
avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the |
222 |
correct salvage of settings and configuration. |
223 |
|
224 |
* Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option, |
225 |
provided to override the default (which is 100%). |
226 |
|
227 |
* Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been |
228 |
increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds. |
229 |
|
230 |
* A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over |
231 |
each sampler channel strip. |
232 |
|
233 |
* Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from |
234 |
qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect. |
235 |
|
236 |
* Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between |
237 |
a #if !defined(WIN32) clause. |
238 |
|
239 |
* An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every |
240 |
new sampler channel strip. |
241 |
|
242 |
* The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as |
243 |
suggested in the following lines: |
244 |
|
245 |
SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ... |
246 |
SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ... |
247 |
SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ... |
248 |
LOAD ENGINE ... |
249 |
LOAD INSTRUMENT ... |
250 |
SET CHANNEL VOLUME ... |
251 |
|
252 |
|
253 |
0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release. |
