4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting.
9    
10    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
11    
12    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
13    
14    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
15      size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
16      rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
17    
18    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
19      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
20      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
21    
22    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
23      with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
24      running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
25      up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
26    
27    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
28      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
29    
30    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
31      screwed.
32    
33    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
34      other frontends.
35    
36    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
37      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
38      (fixes segfault on device changes)
39    
40    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
41      main menu.
42    
43    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
44    
45    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
46    
47    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
48      particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
49    
50    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
51      whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
52    
53    
54    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
55    
56    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
57      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
58      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
59    
60    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
61      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
62    
63    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
64      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
65    
66    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
67      creating a new sampler channel.
68    
69    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
70    
71    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
72      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
73      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
74      first time).
75    
76    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
77      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
78    
79    * Added Windows file path support.
80    
81    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
82      under win32.
83    
84    * Qt4 port of the application.
85    
86    
87    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
88    
89    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
90      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
91      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
92      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
93    
94    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
95      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
96      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
97      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
98    
99    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
100      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
101      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
102    
103    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
104    
105    
106    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
107    
108    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
109      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
110      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
111    
112    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
113    
114    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
115      the session state, only at code-level.
116    
117    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
118      existing instrument file name.
119    
120    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
121      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
122      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
123      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
124      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
125      corrected some tooltip text strings.
126    
127    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
128      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
129      window managers.
130    
131    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
132      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
133      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
134      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
135    
136    * GPL address update.
137    
138    
139    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
140    
141    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
142      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
143    
144    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
145    
146    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
147      installation paths have been added to configure command
148      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
149    
150    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
151      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
152      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
153      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
154      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
155    
156    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
157      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
158      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
159      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
160    
161    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
162    
163    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
164      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
165    
166    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
167      title name prefix.
168    
169    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
170      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
171      generated at configure time.
172    
173    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
174      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
175      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
176      argument have some effect on X11.
177    
178    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
179    
180    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
181      compiled with -no-stl.
182    
183    
184    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
185    
186    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
187      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
188      one, while on qjackctl).
189    
190    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
191      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
192    
193    
194    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
195    
196    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
197      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
198    
199    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
200      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
201      info updates.
202    
203    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
204      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
205      device dialog.
206    
207    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
208    
209    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
210      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
211      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
212      Mayat, for pointing these out).
213    
214    
215    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
216    
217    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
218    
219    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
220      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
221      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
222    
223    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
224      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
225    
226    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
227      an instrument.
228    
229    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
230    
231    
232    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
233    
234    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
235      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
236      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
237      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
238    
239    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
240      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
241      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
242    
243    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
244      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
245    
246    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
247    
248    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
249      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
250      change information are now also posted to messages window.
251    
252    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
253      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
254      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
255      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
256    
257    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
258      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
259      sampler instrument file.
260    
261    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
262      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
263      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
264      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
265    
266    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
267      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
268      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
269    
270    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
271      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
272      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
273      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
274    
275    
276    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
277    
278    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
279      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
280      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
281    
282    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
283      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
284      following common user-interface guidelines.
285    
286    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
287      control structures.
288    
289    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
290    
291    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
292      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
293      channel (omni mode).
294    
295    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
296      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
297    
298    * Minor configure fixes.
299    
300    
301    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
302    
303    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
304    
305    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
306      and on session file save.
307    
308    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
309      on create time.
310    
311    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
312    
313    
314    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
315    
316    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
317      over the empty workspace area.
318    
319  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
320    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
