4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
9      particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
10    
11    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
12      whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
13    
14    
15    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
16    
17    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
18      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
19      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
20    
21    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
22      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
23    
24    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
25      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
26    
27    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
28      creating a new sampler channel.
29    
30    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
31    
32    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
33      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
34      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
35      first time).
36    
37    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
38      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
39    
40    * Added Windows file path support.
41    
42    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
43      under win32.
44    
45    * Qt4 port of the application.
46    
47    
48    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
49    
50    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
51      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
52      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
53      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
54    
55    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
56      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
57      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
58      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
59    
60    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
61      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
62      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
63    
64    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
65    
66    
67    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
68    
69    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
70      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
71      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
72    
73    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
74    
75    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
76      the session state, only at code-level.
77    
78    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
79      existing instrument file name.
80    
81    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
82      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
83      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
84      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
85      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
86      corrected some tooltip text strings.
87    
88    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
89      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
90      window managers.
91    
92    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
93      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
94      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
95      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
96    
97    * GPL address update.
98    
99    
100    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
101    
102    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
103      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
104    
105    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
106    
107    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
108      installation paths have been added to configure command
109      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
110    
111    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
112      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
113      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
114      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
115      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
116    
117    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
118      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
119      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
120      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
121    
122    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
123    
124    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
125      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
126    
127    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
128      title name prefix.
129    
130    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
131      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
132      generated at configure time.
133    
134    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
135      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
136      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
137      argument have some effect on X11.
138    
139    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
140    
141    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
142      compiled with -no-stl.
143    
144    
145    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
146    
147    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
148      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
149      one, while on qjackctl).
150    
151    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
152      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
153    
154    
155    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
156    
157    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
158      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
159    
160    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
161      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
162      info updates.
163    
164    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
165      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
166      device dialog.
167    
168    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
169    
170    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
171      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
172      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
173      Mayat, for pointing these out).
174    
175    
176    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
177    
178    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
179    
180    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
181      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
182      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
183    
184    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
185      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
186    
187    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
188      an instrument.
189    
190    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
191    
192    
193    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
194    
195    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
196      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
197      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
198      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
199    
200    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
201      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
202      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
203    
204    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
205      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
206    
207    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
208    
209    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
210      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
211      change information are now also posted to messages window.
212    
213    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
214      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
215      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
216      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
217    
218    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
219      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
220      sampler instrument file.
221    
222    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
223      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
224      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
225      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
226    
227    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
228      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
229      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
230    
231    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
232      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
233      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
234      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
235    
236    
237    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
238    
239    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
240      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
241      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
242    
243    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
244      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
245      following common user-interface guidelines.
246    
247    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
248      control structures.
249    
250    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
251    
252    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
253      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
254      channel (omni mode).
255    
256    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
257      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
258    
259    * Minor configure fixes.
260    
261    
262    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
263    
264    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
265    
266    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
267      and on session file save.
268    
269    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
270      on create time.
271    
272    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
273    
274    
275    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
276    
277    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
278      over the empty workspace area.
279    
280  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
281    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
