4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
9    
10    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
11      size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
12      rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
13    
14    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
15      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
16      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
17    
18    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
19      with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
20      running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
21      up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
22    
23    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
24      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
25    
26    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
27      screwed.
28    
29    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
30      other frontends.
31    
32    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
33      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
34      (fixes segfault on device changes)
35    
36    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
37      main menu.
38    
39    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
40    
41    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
42    
43    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
44      particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
45    
46    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
47      whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
48    
49    
50    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
51    
52    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
53      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
54      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
55    
56    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
57      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
58    
59    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
60      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
61    
62    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
63      creating a new sampler channel.
64    
65    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
66    
67    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
68      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
69      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
70      first time).
71    
72    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
73      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
74    
75    * Added Windows file path support.
76    
77    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
78      under win32.
79    
80    * Qt4 port of the application.
81    
82    
83    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
84    
85    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
86      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
87      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
88      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
89    
90    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
91      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
92      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
93      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
94    
95    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
96      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
97      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
98    
99    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
100    
101    
102    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
103    
104    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
105      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
106      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
107    
108    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
109    
110    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
111      the session state, only at code-level.
112    
113    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
114      existing instrument file name.
115    
116    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
117      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
118      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
119      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
120      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
121      corrected some tooltip text strings.
122    
123    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
124      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
125      window managers.
126    
127    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
128      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
129      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
130      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
131    
132    * GPL address update.
133    
134    
135    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
136    
137    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
138      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
139    
140    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
141    
142    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
143      installation paths have been added to configure command
144      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
145    
146    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
147      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
148      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
149      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
150      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
151    
152    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
153      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
154      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
155      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
156    
157    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
158    
159    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
160      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
161    
162    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
163      title name prefix.
164    
165    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
166      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
167      generated at configure time.
168    
169    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
170      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
171      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
172      argument have some effect on X11.
173    
174    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
175    
176    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
177      compiled with -no-stl.
178    
179    
180    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
181    
182    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
183      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
184      one, while on qjackctl).
185    
186    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
187      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
188    
189    
190    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
191    
192    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
193      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
194    
195    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
196      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
197      info updates.
198    
199    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
200      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
201      device dialog.
202    
203    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
204    
205    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
206      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
207      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
208      Mayat, for pointing these out).
209    
210    
211    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
212    
213    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
214    
215    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
216      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
217      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
218    
219    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
220      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
221    
222    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
223      an instrument.
224    
225    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
226    
227    
228    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
229    
230    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
231      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
232      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
233      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
234    
235    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
236      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
237      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
238    
239    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
240      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
241    
242    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
243    
244    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
245      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
246      change information are now also posted to messages window.
247    
248    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
249      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
250      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
251      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
252    
253    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
254      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
255      sampler instrument file.
256    
257    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
258      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
259      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
260      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
261    
262    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
263      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
264      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
265    
266    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
267      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
268      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
269      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
270    
271    
272    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
273    
274    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
275      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
276      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
277    
278    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
279      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
280      following common user-interface guidelines.
281    
282    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
283      control structures.
284    
285    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
286    
287    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
288      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
289      channel (omni mode).
290    
291    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
292      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
293    
294    * Minor configure fixes.
295    
296    
297    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
298    
299    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
300    
301    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
302      and on session file save.
303    
304    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
305      on create time.
306    
307    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
308    
309    
310    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
311    
312    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
313      over the empty workspace area.
314    
315  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
316    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
