4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
9      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
10    
11    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
12      screwed.
13    
14    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
15      other frontends.
16    
17    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
18      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
19      (fixes segfault on device changes)
20    
21    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
22      main menu.
23    
24    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
25    
26    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
27    
28    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
29      particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
30    
31    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
32      whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
33    
34    
35    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
36    
37    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
38      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
39      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
40    
41    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
42      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
43    
44    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
45      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
46    
47    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
48      creating a new sampler channel.
49    
50    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
51    
52    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
53      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
54      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
55      first time).
56    
57    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
58      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
59    
60    * Added Windows file path support.
61    
62    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
63      under win32.
64    
65    * Qt4 port of the application.
66    
67    
68    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
69    
70    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
71      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
72      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
73      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
74    
75    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
76      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
77      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
78      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
79    
80    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
81      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
82      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
83    
84    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
85    
86    
87    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
88    
89    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
90      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
91      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
92    
93    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
94    
95    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
96      the session state, only at code-level.
97    
98    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
99      existing instrument file name.
100    
101    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
102      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
103      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
104      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
105      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
106      corrected some tooltip text strings.
107    
108    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
109      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
110      window managers.
111    
112    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
113      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
114      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
115      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
116    
117    * GPL address update.
118    
119    
120    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
121    
122    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
123      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
124    
125    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
126    
127    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
128      installation paths have been added to configure command
129      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
130    
131    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
132      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
133      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
134      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
135      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
136    
137    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
138      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
139      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
140      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
141    
142    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
143    
144    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
145      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
146    
147    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
148      title name prefix.
149    
150    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
151      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
152      generated at configure time.
153    
154    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
155      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
156      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
157      argument have some effect on X11.
158    
159    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
160    
161    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
162      compiled with -no-stl.
163    
164    
165    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
166    
167    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
168      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
169      one, while on qjackctl).
170    
171    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
172      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
173    
174    
175    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
176    
177    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
178      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
179    
180    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
181      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
182      info updates.
183    
184    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
185      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
186      device dialog.
187    
188    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
189    
190    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
191      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
192      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
193      Mayat, for pointing these out).
194    
195    
196    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
197    
198    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
199    
200    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
201      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
202      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
203    
204    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
205      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
206    
207    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
208      an instrument.
209    
210    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
211    
212    
213    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
214    
215    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
216      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
217      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
218      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
219    
220    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
221      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
222      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
223    
224    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
225      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
226    
227    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
228    
229    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
230      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
231      change information are now also posted to messages window.
232    
233    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
234      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
235      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
236      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
237    
238    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
239      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
240      sampler instrument file.
241    
242    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
243      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
244      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
245      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
246    
247    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
248      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
249      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
250    
251    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
252      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
253      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
254      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
255    
256    
257    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
258    
259    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
260      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
261      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
262    
263    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
264      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
265      following common user-interface guidelines.
266    
267    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
268      control structures.
269    
270    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
271    
272    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
273      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
274      channel (omni mode).
275    
276    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
277      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
278    
279    * Minor configure fixes.
280    
281    
282    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
283    
284    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
285    
286    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
287      and on session file save.
288    
289    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
290      on create time.
291    
292    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
293    
294    
295    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
296    
297    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
298      over the empty workspace area.
299    
300  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
301    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
