0.0.2 2004-06-12 Work in progress... |
CVS HEAD |
| 7 |
|
|
| 8 |
|
* Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons. |
| 9 |
|
|
| 10 |
|
* Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting |
| 11 |
|
(accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning |
| 12 |
|
settings will be saved in case the user modified them and |
| 13 |
|
automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to |
| 14 |
|
a sampler the next time. |
| 15 |
|
|
| 16 |
|
* Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. |
| 17 |
|
|
| 18 |
|
* Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. |
| 19 |
|
|
| 20 |
|
* Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding |
| 21 |
|
font size configuration, a new global user option is now available |
| 22 |
|
to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size |
| 23 |
|
(default none). |
| 24 |
|
|
| 25 |
|
* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of |
| 26 |
|
the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode. |
| 27 |
|
(transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). |
| 28 |
|
|
| 29 |
|
* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and |
| 30 |
|
running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup |
| 31 |
|
iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its |
| 32 |
|
main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). |
| 33 |
|
|
| 34 |
|
* Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, |
| 35 |
|
with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging. |
| 36 |
|
|
| 37 |
|
* Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were |
| 38 |
|
screwed. |
| 39 |
|
|
| 40 |
|
* Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed |
| 41 |
|
e.g. by other frontends. |
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
|
* Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed, |
| 44 |
|
e.g. on changes caused by other frontends |
| 45 |
|
(fixes segfault on device changes) |
| 46 |
|
|
| 47 |
|
* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the |
| 48 |
|
"View" main menu. |
| 49 |
|
|
| 50 |
|
* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. |
| 51 |
|
|
| 52 |
|
* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. |
| 53 |
|
|
| 54 |
|
* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel |
| 55 |
|
strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. |
| 56 |
|
|
| 57 |
|
* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user |
| 58 |
|
decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. |
| 59 |
|
|
| 60 |
|
|
| 61 |
|
0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. |
| 62 |
|
|
| 63 |
|
* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument |
| 64 |
|
names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then |
| 65 |
|
the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by |
| 66 |
|
default. |
| 67 |
|
|
| 68 |
|
* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually |
| 69 |
|
evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). |
| 70 |
|
|
| 71 |
|
* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though |
| 72 |
|
the main menu and toobar are not visible. |
| 73 |
|
|
| 74 |
|
* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when |
| 75 |
|
creating a new sampler channel. |
| 76 |
|
|
| 77 |
|
* README requirements and configuration notes update. |
| 78 |
|
|
| 79 |
|
* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument |
| 80 |
|
form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie |
| 81 |
|
users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the |
| 82 |
|
first time). |
| 83 |
|
|
| 84 |
|
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters |
| 85 |
|
which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). |
| 86 |
|
|
| 87 |
|
* Added Windows file path support. |
| 88 |
|
|
| 89 |
|
* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles |
| 90 |
|
under win32. |
| 91 |
|
|
| 92 |
|
* Qt4 port of the application. |
| 93 |
|
|
| 94 |
|
|
| 95 |
|
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
| 96 |
|
|
| 97 |
|
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
| 98 |
|
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
| 99 |
|
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
| 100 |
|
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
| 101 |
|
|
| 102 |
|
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
| 103 |
|
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
| 104 |
|
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
| 105 |
|
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
| 106 |
|
|
| 107 |
|
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
| 108 |
|
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
| 109 |
|
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
| 110 |
|
|
| 111 |
|
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
| 112 |
|
|
| 113 |
|
|
| 114 |
|
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
| 115 |
|
|
| 116 |
|
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
| 117 |
|
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
| 118 |
|
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
| 119 |
|
|
| 120 |
|
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
| 121 |
|
|
| 122 |
|
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
| 123 |
|
the session state, only at code-level. |
| 124 |
|
|
| 125 |
|
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
| 126 |
|
existing instrument file name. |
| 127 |
|
|
| 128 |
|
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
| 129 |
|
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
| 130 |
|
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
| 131 |
|
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
| 132 |
|
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
| 133 |
|
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
| 134 |
|
|
| 135 |
|
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
| 136 |
|
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
| 137 |
|
window managers. |
| 138 |
|
|
| 139 |
|
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
| 140 |
|
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
| 141 |
|
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
| 142 |
|
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
| 143 |
|
|
| 144 |
|
* GPL address update. |
| 145 |
|
|
| 146 |
|
|
| 147 |
|
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
| 148 |
|
|
| 149 |
|
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
| 150 |
|
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
| 151 |
|
|
| 152 |
|
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
| 153 |
|
|
| 154 |
|
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
| 155 |
|
installation paths have been added to configure command |
| 156 |
|
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
| 157 |
|
|
| 158 |
|
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
| 159 |
|
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
| 160 |
|
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
| 161 |
|
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
| 162 |
|
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
| 163 |
|
|
| 164 |
|
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
| 165 |
|
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
| 166 |
|
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
| 167 |
|
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
| 168 |
|
|
| 169 |
|
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
| 170 |
|
|
| 171 |
|
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
| 172 |
|
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
| 173 |
|
|
| 174 |
|
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
| 175 |
|
title name prefix. |
| 176 |
|
|
| 177 |
|
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
| 178 |
|
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
| 179 |
|
generated at configure time. |
| 180 |
|
|
| 181 |
|
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
| 182 |
|
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
| 183 |
|
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
| 184 |
|
argument have some effect on X11. |
| 185 |
|
|
| 186 |
|
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
| 187 |
|
|
| 188 |
|
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
| 189 |
|
compiled with -no-stl. |
| 190 |
|
|
| 191 |
|
|
| 192 |
|
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
| 193 |
|
|
| 194 |
|
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
| 195 |
|
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
| 196 |
|
one, while on qjackctl). |
| 197 |
|
|
| 198 |
|
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
| 199 |
|
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
| 200 |
|
|
| 201 |
|
|
| 202 |
|
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
| 203 |
|
|
| 204 |
|
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
| 205 |
|
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
| 206 |
|
|
| 207 |
|
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
| 208 |
|
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
| 209 |
|
info updates. |
| 210 |
|
|
| 211 |
|
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
| 212 |
|
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
| 213 |
|
device dialog. |
| 214 |
|
|
| 215 |
|
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
| 216 |
|
|
| 217 |
|
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
| 218 |
|
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
| 219 |
|
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
| 220 |
|
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
| 221 |
|
|
| 222 |
|
|
| 223 |
|
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
| 224 |
|
|
| 225 |
|
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
| 226 |
|
|
| 227 |
|
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
| 228 |
|
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
| 229 |
|
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
| 230 |
|
|
| 231 |
|
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
| 232 |
|
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
| 233 |
|
|
| 234 |
|
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
| 235 |
|
an instrument. |
| 236 |
|
|
| 237 |
|
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
| 238 |
|
|
| 239 |
|
|
| 240 |
|
0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
| 241 |
|
|
| 242 |
|
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
| 243 |
|
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
| 244 |
|
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
| 245 |
|
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
| 246 |
|
|
| 247 |
|
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
| 248 |
|
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
| 249 |
|
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
| 250 |
|
|
| 251 |
|
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
| 252 |
|
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
| 253 |
|
|
| 254 |
|
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
| 255 |
|
|
| 256 |
|
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
| 257 |
|
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
| 258 |
|
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
| 259 |
|
|
| 260 |
|
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
| 261 |
|
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
| 262 |
|
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
| 263 |
|
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
| 264 |
|
|
| 265 |
|
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
| 266 |
|
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
| 267 |
|
sampler instrument file. |
| 268 |
|
|
| 269 |
|
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
| 270 |
|
from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, |
| 271 |
|
avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the |
| 272 |
|
channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. |
| 273 |
|
|
| 274 |
|
* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where |
| 275 |
|
available, as the default handler is usually fatal when |
| 276 |
|
a JACK client is zombified abruptly. |
| 277 |
|
|
| 278 |
|
* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line |
| 279 |
|
count exceeds in one third the user configured line count |
| 280 |
|
maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is |
| 281 |
|
otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. |
| 282 |
|
|
| 283 |
|
|
| 284 |
|
0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. |
| 285 |
|
|
| 286 |
|
* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; |
| 287 |
|
actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from |
| 288 |
|
the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. |
| 289 |
|
|
| 290 |
|
* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, |
| 291 |
|
the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, |
| 292 |
|
following common user-interface guidelines. |
| 293 |
|
|
| 294 |
|
* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal |
| 295 |
|
control structures. |
| 296 |
|
|
| 297 |
|
* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. |
| 298 |
|
|
| 299 |
|
* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing |
| 300 |
|
the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler |
| 301 |
|
channel (omni mode). |
| 302 |
|
|
| 303 |
|
* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background |
| 304 |
|
color to black (was green), being now an user option. |
| 305 |
|
|
| 306 |
|
* Minor configure fixes. |
| 307 |
|
|
| 308 |
|
|
| 309 |
|
0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release. |
| 310 |
|
|
| 311 |
|
* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. |
| 312 |
|
|
| 313 |
|
* Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog, |
| 314 |
|
and on session file save. |
| 315 |
|
|
| 316 |
|
* Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults |
| 317 |
|
on create time. |
| 318 |
|
|
| 319 |
|
* Implied channel reset on successful instrument load. |
| 320 |
|
|
| 321 |
|
|
| 322 |
|
0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release. |
| 323 |
|
|
| 324 |
|
* The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking |
| 325 |
|
over the empty workspace area. |
| 326 |
|
|
| 327 |
* Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(), |
