4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-09  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
9    
10    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
11    
12    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
13      particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
14    
15    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
16      whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
17    
18    
19    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
20    
21    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
22      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
23      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
24    
25    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
26      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
27    
28    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
29      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
30    
31    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
32      creating a new sampler channel.
33    
34    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
35    
36    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
37      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
38      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
39      first time).
40    
41    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
42      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
43    
44    * Added Windows file path support.
45    
46    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
47      under win32.
48    
49    * Qt4 port of the application.
50    
51    
52    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
53    
54    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
55      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
56      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
57      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
58    
59    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
60      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
61      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
62      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
63    
64    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
65      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
66      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
67    
68    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
69    
70    
71    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
72    
73    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
74      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
75      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
76    
77    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
78    
79    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
80      the session state, only at code-level.
81    
82    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
83      existing instrument file name.
84    
85    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
86      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
87      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
88      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
89      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
90      corrected some tooltip text strings.
91    
92    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
93      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
94      window managers.
95    
96    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
97      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
98      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
99      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
100    
101    * GPL address update.
102    
103    
104    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
105    
106    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
107      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
108    
109    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
110    
111    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
112      installation paths have been added to configure command
113      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
114    
115    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
116      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
117      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
118      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
119      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
120    
121    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
122      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
123      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
124      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
125    
126    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
127    
128    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
129      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
130    
131    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
132      title name prefix.
133    
134    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
135      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
136      generated at configure time.
137    
138    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
139      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
140      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
141      argument have some effect on X11.
142    
143    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
144    
145    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
146      compiled with -no-stl.
147    
148    
149    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
150    
151    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
152      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
153      one, while on qjackctl).
154    
155    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
156      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
157    
158    
159    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
160    
161    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
162      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
163    
164    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
165      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
166      info updates.
167    
168    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
169      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
170      device dialog.
171    
172    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
173    
174    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
175      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
176      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
177      Mayat, for pointing these out).
178    
179    
180    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
181    
182    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
183    
184    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
185      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
186      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
187    
188    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
189      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
190    
191    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
192      an instrument.
193    
194    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
195    
196    
197    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
198    
199    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
200      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
201      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
202      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
203    
204    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
205      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
206      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
207    
208    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
209      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
210    
211    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
212    
213    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
214      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
215      change information are now also posted to messages window.
216    
217    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
218      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
219      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
220      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
221    
222    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
223      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
224      sampler instrument file.
225    
226    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
227      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
228      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
229      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
230    
231    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
232      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
233      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
234    
235    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
236      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
237      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
238      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
239    
240    
241    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
242    
243    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
244      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
245      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
246    
247    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
248      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
249      following common user-interface guidelines.
250    
251    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
252      control structures.
253    
254    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
255    
256    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
257      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
258      channel (omni mode).
259    
260    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
261      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
262    
263    * Minor configure fixes.
264    
265    
266    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
267    
268    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
269    
270    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
271      and on session file save.
272    
273    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
274      on create time.
275    
276    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
277    
278    
279    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
280    
281    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
282      over the empty workspace area.
283    
284    * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
285      so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
286      avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
287      correct salvage of settings and configuration.
288    
289  * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,  * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
290    provided to override the default (which is 100%).    provided to override the default (which is 100%).
