4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
9      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
10      (fixes segfault on device changes)
11    
12    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
13      main menu.
14    
15    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
16    
17    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
18    
19    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
20      particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
21    
22    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
23      whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
24    
25    
26    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
27    
28    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
29      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
30      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
31    
32    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
33      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
34    
35    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
36      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
37    
38    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
39      creating a new sampler channel.
40    
41    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
42    
43    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
44      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
45      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
46      first time).
47    
48    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
49      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
50    
51    * Added Windows file path support.
52    
53    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
54      under win32.
55    
56    * Qt4 port of the application.
57    
58    
59    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
60    
61    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
62      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
63      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
64      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
65    
66    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
67      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
68      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
69      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
70    
71    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
72      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
73      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
74    
75    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
76    
77    
78    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
79    
80    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
81      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
82      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
83    
84    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
85    
86    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
87      the session state, only at code-level.
88    
89    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
90      existing instrument file name.
91    
92    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
93      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
94      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
95      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
96      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
97      corrected some tooltip text strings.
98    
99    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
100      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
101      window managers.
102    
103    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
104      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
105      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
106      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
107    
108    * GPL address update.
109    
110    
111    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
112    
113    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
114      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
115    
116    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
117    
118    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
119      installation paths have been added to configure command
120      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
121    
122    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
123      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
124      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
125      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
126      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
127    
128    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
129      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
130      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
131      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
132    
133    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
134    
135    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
136      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
137    
138    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
139      title name prefix.
140    
141    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
142      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
143      generated at configure time.
144    
145    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
146      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
147      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
148      argument have some effect on X11.
149    
150    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
151    
152    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
153      compiled with -no-stl.
154    
155    
156    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
157    
158    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
159      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
160      one, while on qjackctl).
161    
162    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
163      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
164    
165    
166    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
167    
168    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
169      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
170    
171    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
172      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
173      info updates.
174    
175    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
176      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
177      device dialog.
178    
179    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
180    
181    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
182      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
183      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
184      Mayat, for pointing these out).
185    
186    
187    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
188    
189    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
190    
191    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
192      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
193      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
194    
195    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
196      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
197    
198    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
199      an instrument.
200    
201    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
202    
203    
204    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
205    
206    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
207      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
208      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
209      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
210    
211    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
212      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
213      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
214    
215    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
216      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
217    
218    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
219    
220    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
221      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
222      change information are now also posted to messages window.
223    
224    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
225      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
226      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
227      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
228    
229    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
230      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
231      sampler instrument file.
232    
233    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
234      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
235      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
236      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
237    
238    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
239      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
240      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
241    
242    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
243      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
244      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
245      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
246    
247    
248    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
249    
250    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
251      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
252      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
253    
254    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
255      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
256      following common user-interface guidelines.
257    
258    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
259      control structures.
260    
261    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
262    
263    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
264      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
265      channel (omni mode).
266    
267    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
268      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
269    
270    * Minor configure fixes.
271    
272    
273    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
274    
275    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
276    
277    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
278      and on session file save.
279    
280    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
281      on create time.
282    
283    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
284    
285    
286    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
287    
288    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
289      over the empty workspace area.
290    
291  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
292    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
