4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
7    
8    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
9      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
10      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
11    
12    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
13      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
14    
15    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
16      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
17    
18    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
19      creating a new sampler channel.
20    
21    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
22    
23    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
24      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
25      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
26      first time).
27    
28    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
29      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
30    
31    * Added Windows file path support.
32    
33    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
34      under win32.
35    
36    * Qt4 port of the application.
37    
38    
39    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
40    
41    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
42      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
43      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
44      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
45    
46    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
47      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
48      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
49      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
50    
51    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
52      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
53      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
54    
55    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
56    
57    
58    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
59    
60    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
61      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
62      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
63    
64    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
65    
66    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
67      the session state, only at code-level.
68    
69    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
70      existing instrument file name.
71    
72    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
73      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
74      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
75      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
76      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
77      corrected some tooltip text strings.
78    
79    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
80      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
81      window managers.
82    
83    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
84      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
85      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
86      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
87    
88    * GPL address update.
89    
90    
91    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
92    
93    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
94      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
95    
96    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
97    
98    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
99      installation paths have been added to configure command
100      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
101    
102    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
103      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
104      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
105      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
106      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
107    
108    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
109      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
110      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
111      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
112    
113    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
114    
115    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
116      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
117    
118    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
119      title name prefix.
120    
121    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
122      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
123      generated at configure time.
124    
125    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
126      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
127      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
128      argument have some effect on X11.
129    
130    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
131    
132    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
133      compiled with -no-stl.
134    
135    
136    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
137    
138    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
139      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
140      one, while on qjackctl).
141    
142    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
143      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
144    
145    
146    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
147    
148    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
149      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
150    
151    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
152      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
153      info updates.
154    
155    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
156      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
157      device dialog.
158    
159    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
160    
161    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
162      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
163      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
164      Mayat, for pointing these out).
165    
166    
167    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
168    
169    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
170    
171    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
172      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
173      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
174    
175    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
176      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
177    
178    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
179      an instrument.
180    
181    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
182    
183    
184    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
185    
186    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
187      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
188      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
189      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
190    
191    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
192      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
193      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
194    
195    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
196      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
197    
198    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
199    
200    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
201      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
202      change information are now also posted to messages window.
203    
204    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
205      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
206      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
207      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
208    
209    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
210      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
211      sampler instrument file.
212    
213    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
214      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
215      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
216      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
217    
218    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
219      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
220      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
221    
222    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
223      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
224      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
225      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
226    
227    
228    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
229    
230    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
231      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
232      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
233    
234    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
235      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
236      following common user-interface guidelines.
237    
238    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
239      control structures.
240    
241    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
242    
243    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
244      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
245      channel (omni mode).
246    
247    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
248      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
249    
250    * Minor configure fixes.
251    
252    
253    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
254    
255    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
256    
257    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
258      and on session file save.
259    
260    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
261      on create time.
262    
263    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
264    
265    
266    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
267    
268    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
269      over the empty workspace area.
270    
271  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
272    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
