CVS HEAD |
7 |
|
8 |
* Started Qt4 port of the application |
9 |
(not completed and very broken yet!). |
10 |
|
11 |
|
12 |
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
13 |
|
14 |
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
15 |
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
16 |
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
17 |
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
18 |
|
19 |
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
20 |
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
21 |
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
22 |
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
23 |
|
24 |
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
25 |
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
26 |
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
27 |
|
28 |
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
29 |
|
30 |
|
31 |
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
32 |
|
33 |
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
34 |
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
35 |
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
36 |
|
37 |
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
38 |
|
39 |
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
40 |
the session state, only at code-level. |
41 |
|
42 |
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
43 |
existing instrument file name. |
44 |
|
45 |
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
46 |
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
47 |
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
48 |
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
49 |
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
50 |
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
51 |
|
52 |
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
53 |
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
54 |
window managers. |
55 |
|
56 |
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
57 |
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
58 |
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
59 |
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
60 |
|
61 |
* GPL address update. |
62 |
|
63 |
|
64 |
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
65 |
|
66 |
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
67 |
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
68 |
|
69 |
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
70 |
|
71 |
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
72 |
installation paths have been added to configure command |
73 |
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
74 |
|
75 |
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
76 |
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
77 |
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
78 |
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
79 |
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
80 |
|
81 |
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
82 |
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
83 |
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
84 |
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
85 |
|
86 |
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
87 |
|
88 |
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
89 |
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
90 |
|
91 |
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
92 |
title name prefix. |
93 |
|
94 |
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
95 |
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
96 |
generated at configure time. |
97 |
|
98 |
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
99 |
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
100 |
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
101 |
argument have some effect on X11. |
102 |
|
103 |
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
104 |
|
105 |
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
106 |
compiled with -no-stl. |
107 |
|
108 |
|
109 |
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
110 |
|
111 |
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
112 |
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
113 |
one, while on qjackctl). |
114 |
|
115 |
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
116 |
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
117 |
|
118 |
|
119 |
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
120 |
|
121 |
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
122 |
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
123 |
|
124 |
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
125 |
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
126 |
info updates. |
127 |
|
128 |
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
129 |
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
130 |
device dialog. |
131 |
|
132 |
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
133 |
|
134 |
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
135 |
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
136 |
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
137 |
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
138 |
|
139 |
|
140 |
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
141 |
|
142 |
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
143 |
|
144 |
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
145 |
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
146 |
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
147 |
|
148 |
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
149 |
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
150 |
|
151 |
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
152 |
an instrument. |
153 |
|
154 |
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
155 |
|
156 |
|
157 |
0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
158 |
|
159 |
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
160 |
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
161 |
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
162 |
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
163 |
|
164 |
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
165 |
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
166 |
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
167 |
|
168 |
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
169 |
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
170 |
|
171 |
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
172 |
|
173 |
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
174 |
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
175 |
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
176 |
|
177 |
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
178 |
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
179 |
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
180 |
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
181 |
|
182 |
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
183 |
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
184 |
sampler instrument file. |
185 |
|
186 |
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
187 |
from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, |
188 |
avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the |
189 |
channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. |
190 |
|
191 |
* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where |
192 |
available, as the default handler is usually fatal when |
193 |
a JACK client is zombified abruptly. |
194 |
|
195 |
* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line |
196 |
count exceeds in one third the user configured line count |
197 |
maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is |
198 |
otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. |
199 |
|
200 |
|
201 |
0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. |
202 |
|
203 |
* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; |
204 |
actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from |
205 |
the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. |
206 |
|
207 |
* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, |
208 |
the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, |
209 |
following common user-interface guidelines. |
210 |
|
211 |
* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal |
212 |
control structures. |
213 |
|
214 |
* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. |
215 |
|
216 |
* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing |
217 |
the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler |
218 |
channel (omni mode). |
219 |
|
220 |
* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background |
221 |
color to black (was green), being now an user option. |
222 |
|
223 |
* Minor configure fixes. |
224 |
|
225 |
|
226 |
0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release. |
227 |
|
228 |
* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. |
229 |
|
230 |
* Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog, |
231 |
and on session file save. |
232 |
|
233 |
* Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults |
234 |
on create time. |
235 |
|
236 |
* Implied channel reset on successful instrument load. |
237 |
|
238 |
|
239 |
0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release. |
240 |
|
241 |
* The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking |
242 |
over the empty workspace area. |
243 |
|
244 |
* Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(), |
245 |
so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and |
246 |
avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the |
247 |
correct salvage of settings and configuration. |
248 |
|
249 |
* Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option, |
250 |
provided to override the default (which is 100%). |
251 |
|
252 |
* Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been |
253 |
increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds. |
254 |
|
255 |
* A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over |
256 |
each sampler channel strip. |
257 |
|
258 |
* Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from |
259 |
qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect. |
260 |
|
261 |
* Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between |
262 |
a #if !defined(WIN32) clause. |
263 |
|
264 |
* An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every |
265 |
new sampler channel strip. |
266 |
|
267 |
* The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as |
268 |
suggested in the following lines: |
269 |
|
270 |
SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ... |
271 |
SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ... |
272 |
SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ... |
273 |
LOAD ENGINE ... |
274 |
LOAD INSTRUMENT ... |
275 |
SET CHANNEL VOLUME ... |
276 |
|
277 |
|
278 |
0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release. |
