4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
9      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
10    
11    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
12      creating a new sampler channel.
13    
14    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
15    
16    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
17      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
18      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
19      first time).
20    
21    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
22      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
23    
24    * Added Windows file path support.
25    
26    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
27      under win32.
28    
29    * Qt4 port of the application.
30    
31    
32    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
33    
34    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
35      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
36      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
37      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
38    
39    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
40      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
41      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
42      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
43    
44    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
45      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
46      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
47    
48    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
49    
50    
51    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
52    
53    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
54      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
55      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
56    
57    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
58    
59    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
60      the session state, only at code-level.
61    
62    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
63      existing instrument file name.
64    
65    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
66      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
67      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
68      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
69      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
70      corrected some tooltip text strings.
71    
72    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
73      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
74      window managers.
75    
76    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
77      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
78      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
79      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
80    
81    * GPL address update.
82    
83    
84    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
85    
86    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
87      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
88    
89    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
90    
91    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
92      installation paths have been added to configure command
93      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
94    
95    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
96      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
97      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
98      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
99      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
100    
101    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
102      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
103      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
104      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
105    
106    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
107    
108    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
109      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
110    
111    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
112      title name prefix.
113    
114    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
115      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
116      generated at configure time.
117    
118    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
119      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
120      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
121      argument have some effect on X11.
122    
123    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
124    
125    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
126      compiled with -no-stl.
127    
128    
129    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
130    
131    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
132      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
133      one, while on qjackctl).
134    
135    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
136      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
137    
138    
139    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
140    
141    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
142      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
143    
144    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
145      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
146      info updates.
147    
148    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
149      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
150      device dialog.
151    
152    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
153    
154    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
155      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
156      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
157      Mayat, for pointing these out).
158    
159    
160    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
161    
162    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
163    
164    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
165      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
166      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
167    
168    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
169      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
170    
171    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
172      an instrument.
173    
174    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
175    
176    
177    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
178    
179    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
180      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
181      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
182      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
183    
184    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
185      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
186      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
187    
188    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
189      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
190    
191    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
192    
193    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
194      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
195      change information are now also posted to messages window.
196    
197    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
198      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
199      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
200      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
201    
202    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
203      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
204      sampler instrument file.
205    
206    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
207      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
208      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
209      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
210    
211    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
212      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
213      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
214    
215    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
216      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
217      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
218      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
219    
220    
221    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
222    
223    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
224      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
225      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
226    
227    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
228      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
229      following common user-interface guidelines.
230    
231    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
232      control structures.
233    
234    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
235    
236    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
237      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
238      channel (omni mode).
239    
240    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
241      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
242    
243    * Minor configure fixes.
244    
245    
246    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
247    
248    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
249    
250    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
251      and on session file save.
252    
253    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
254      on create time.
255    
256    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
257    
258    
259    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
260    
261    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
262      over the empty workspace area.
263    
264  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
265    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
