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