4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-12  Work in progress...  SVN HEAD
7    
8    - Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
9      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
10    
11    - Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
12    
13    
14    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
15    
16    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
17      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
18      ever may follow ;)
19    
20    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
21    
22    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
23      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
24      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
25      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
26      a sampler the next time.
27    
28    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
29    
30    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
31    
32    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
33      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
34      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
35      (default none).
36    
37    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
38      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
39      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
40    
41    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
42      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
43      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
44      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
45    
46    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
47      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
48    
49    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
50      screwed.
51    
52    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
53      e.g. by other frontends.
54    
55    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
56      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
57      (fixes segfault on device changes)
58    
59    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
60      "View" main menu.
61    
62    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
63    
64    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
65    
66    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
67      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
68    
69    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
70      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
71    
72    
73    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
74    
75    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
76      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
77      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
78      default.
79    
80    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
81      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
82    
83    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
84      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
85    
86    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
87      creating a new sampler channel.
88    
89    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
90    
91    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
92      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
93      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
94      first time).
95    
96    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
97      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
98    
99    * Added Windows file path support.
100    
101    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
102      under win32.
103    
104    * Qt4 port of the application.
105    
106    
107    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
108    
109    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
110      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
111      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
112      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
113    
114    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
115      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
116      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
117      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
118    
119    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
120      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
121      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
122    
123    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
124    
125    
126    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
127    
128    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
129      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
130      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
131    
132    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
133    
134    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
135      the session state, only at code-level.
136    
137    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
138      existing instrument file name.
139    
140    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
141      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
142      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
143      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
144      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
145      corrected some tooltip text strings.
146    
147    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
148      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
149      window managers.
150    
151    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
152      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
153      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
154      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
155    
156    * GPL address update.
157    
158    
159    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
160    
161    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
162      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
163    
164    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
165    
166    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
167      installation paths have been added to configure command
168      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
169    
170    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
171      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
172      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
173      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
174      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
175    
176    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
177      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
178      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
179      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
180    
181    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
182    
183    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
184      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
185    
186    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
187      title name prefix.
188    
189    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
190      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
191      generated at configure time.
192    
193    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
194      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
195      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
196      argument have some effect on X11.
197    
198    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
199    
200    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
201      compiled with -no-stl.
202    
203    
204    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
205    
206    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
207      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
208      one, while on qjackctl).
209    
210    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
211      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
212    
213    
214    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
215    
216    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
217      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
218    
219    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
220      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
221      info updates.
222    
223    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
224      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
225      device dialog.
226    
227    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
228    
229    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
230      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
231      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
232      Mayat, for pointing these out).
233    
234    
235    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
236    
237    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
238    
239    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
240      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
241      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
242    
243    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
244      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
245    
246    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
247      an instrument.
248    
249    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
250    
251    
252    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
253    
254    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
255      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
256      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
257      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
258    
259    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
260      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
261      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
262    
263    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
264      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
265    
266    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
267    
268    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
269      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
270      change information are now also posted to messages window.
271    
272    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
273      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
274      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
275      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
276    
277    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
278      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
279      sampler instrument file.
280    
281    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
282      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
283      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
284      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
285    
286    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
287      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
288      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
289    
290    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
291      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
292      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
293      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
294    
295    
296    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
297    
298    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
299      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
300      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
301    
302    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
303      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
304      following common user-interface guidelines.
305    
306    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
307      control structures.
308    
309    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
310    
311    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
312      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
313      channel (omni mode).
314    
315    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
316      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
317    
318    * Minor configure fixes.
319    
320    
321    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
322    
323    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
324    
325    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
326      and on session file save.
327    
328    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
329      on create time.
330    
331    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
332    
333    
334    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
335    
336    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
337      over the empty workspace area.
338    
339  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),  * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
340    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and    so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
