0.0.5 2005-02-11 Work in progress... |
CVS HEAD |
7 |
|
|
8 |
|
* Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. |
9 |
|
|
10 |
|
* Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. |
11 |
|
|
12 |
|
* Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font |
13 |
|
size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the |
14 |
|
rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none). |
15 |
|
|
16 |
|
* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of |
17 |
|
the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode. |
18 |
|
(transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). |
19 |
|
|
20 |
|
* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running, |
21 |
|
with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already |
22 |
|
running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown |
23 |
|
up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). |
24 |
|
|
25 |
|
* Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, |
26 |
|
with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging. |
27 |
|
|
28 |
|
* Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were |
29 |
|
screwed. |
30 |
|
|
31 |
|
* Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by |
32 |
|
other frontends. |
33 |
|
|
34 |
|
* Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed, |
35 |
|
e.g. on changes caused by other frontends |
36 |
|
(fixes segfault on device changes) |
37 |
|
|
38 |
|
* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View" |
39 |
|
main menu. |
40 |
|
|
41 |
|
* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. |
42 |
|
|
43 |
|
* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. |
44 |
|
|
45 |
|
* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip, |
46 |
|
particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. |
47 |
|
|
48 |
|
* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide |
49 |
|
whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. |
50 |
|
|
51 |
|
|
52 |
|
0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. |
53 |
|
|
54 |
|
* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a |
55 |
|
very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective |
56 |
|
name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default. |
57 |
|
|
58 |
|
* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually |
59 |
|
evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). |
60 |
|
|
61 |
|
* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though |
62 |
|
the main menu and toobar are not visible. |
63 |
|
|
64 |
|
* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when |
65 |
|
creating a new sampler channel. |
66 |
|
|
67 |
|
* README requirements and configuration notes update. |
68 |
|
|
69 |
|
* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument |
70 |
|
form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie |
71 |
|
users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the |
72 |
|
first time). |
73 |
|
|
74 |
|
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters |
75 |
|
which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). |
76 |
|
|
77 |
|
* Added Windows file path support. |
78 |
|
|
79 |
|
* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles |
80 |
|
under win32. |
81 |
|
|
82 |
|
* Qt4 port of the application. |
83 |
|
|
84 |
|
|
85 |
|
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
86 |
|
|
87 |
|
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
88 |
|
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
89 |
|
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
90 |
|
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
91 |
|
|
92 |
|
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
93 |
|
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
94 |
|
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
95 |
|
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
96 |
|
|
97 |
|
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
98 |
|
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
99 |
|
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
100 |
|
|
101 |
|
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
102 |
|
|
103 |
|
|
104 |
|
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
105 |
|
|
106 |
|
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
107 |
|
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
108 |
|
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
109 |
|
|
110 |
|
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
111 |
|
|
112 |
|
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
113 |
|
the session state, only at code-level. |
114 |
|
|
115 |
|
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
116 |
|
existing instrument file name. |
117 |
|
|
118 |
|
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
119 |
|
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
120 |
|
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
121 |
|
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
122 |
|
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
123 |
|
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
124 |
|
|
125 |
|
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
126 |
|
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
127 |
|
window managers. |
128 |
|
|
129 |
|
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
130 |
|
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
131 |
|
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
132 |
|
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
133 |
|
|
134 |
|
* GPL address update. |
135 |
|
|
136 |
|
|
137 |
|
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
138 |
|
|
139 |
|
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
140 |
|
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
141 |
|
|
142 |
|
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
143 |
|
|
144 |
|
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
145 |
|
installation paths have been added to configure command |
146 |
|
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
147 |
|
|
148 |
|
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
149 |
|
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
150 |
|
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
151 |
|
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
152 |
|
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
153 |
|
|
154 |
|
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
155 |
|
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
156 |
|
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
157 |
|
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
158 |
|
|
159 |
|
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
160 |
|
|
161 |
|
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
162 |
|
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
163 |
|
|
164 |
|
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
165 |
|
title name prefix. |
166 |
|
|
167 |
|
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
168 |
|
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
169 |
|
generated at configure time. |
170 |
|
|
171 |
|
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
172 |
|
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
173 |
|
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
174 |
|
argument have some effect on X11. |
175 |
|
|
176 |
|
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
177 |
|
|
178 |
|
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
179 |
|
compiled with -no-stl. |
180 |
|
|
181 |
|
|
182 |
|
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
183 |
|
|
184 |
|
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
185 |
|
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
186 |
|
one, while on qjackctl). |
187 |
|
|
188 |
|
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
189 |
|
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
190 |
|
|
191 |
|
|
192 |
|
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
193 |
|
|
194 |
|
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
195 |
|
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
196 |
|
|
197 |
|
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
198 |
|
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
199 |
|
info updates. |
200 |
|
|
201 |
|
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
202 |
|
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
203 |
|
device dialog. |
204 |
|
|
205 |
|
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
206 |
|
|
207 |
|
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
208 |
|
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
209 |
|
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
210 |
|
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
211 |
|
|
212 |
|
|
213 |
|
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
214 |
|
|
215 |
|
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
216 |
|
|
217 |
|
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
218 |
|
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
219 |
|
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
220 |
|
|
221 |
|
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
222 |
|
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
223 |
|
|
224 |
|
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
225 |
|
an instrument. |
226 |
|
|
227 |
|
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
228 |
|
|
229 |
|
|
230 |
|
0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
231 |
|
|
232 |
|
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
233 |
|
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
234 |
|
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
235 |
|
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
236 |
|
|
237 |
|
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
238 |
|
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
239 |
|
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
240 |
|
|
241 |
|
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
242 |
|
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
243 |
|
|
244 |
|
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
245 |
|
|
246 |
|
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
247 |
|
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
248 |
|
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
249 |
|
|
250 |
|
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
251 |
|
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
252 |
|
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
253 |
|
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
254 |
|
|
255 |
|
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
256 |
|
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
257 |
|
sampler instrument file. |
258 |
|
|
259 |
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
