4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.3   2004-07-06  Work in progress...  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
9    
10    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
11      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
12      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
13      targets (--enable-debug).
14    
15    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
16    
17    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
18      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
19      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
20    
21    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
22      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
23    
24    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
25      a menu separator has been added.
26    
27    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
28      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
29    
30    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
31      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
32      lame green solid background :).
33    
34    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
35      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
36    
37    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
38    
39    
40    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
41    
42    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
43      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
44      ever may follow ;)
45    
46    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
47    
48    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
49      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
50      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
51      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
52      a sampler the next time.
53    
54    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
55    
56    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
57    
58    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
59      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
60      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
61      (default none).
62    
63    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
64      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
65      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
66    
67    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
68      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
69      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
70      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
71    
72    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
73      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
74    
75    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
76      screwed.
77    
78    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
79      e.g. by other frontends.
80    
81    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
82      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
83      (fixes segfault on device changes)
84    
85    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
86      "View" main menu.
87    
88    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
89    
90    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
91    
92    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
93      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
94    
95    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
96      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
97    
98    
99    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
100    
101    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
102      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
103      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
104      default.
105    
106    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
107      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
108    
109    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
110      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
111    
112    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
113      creating a new sampler channel.
114    
115    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
116    
117    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
118      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
119      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
120      first time).
121    
122    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
123      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
124    
125    * Added Windows file path support.
126    
127    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
128      under win32.
129    
130    * Qt4 port of the application.
131    
132    
133    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
134    
135    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
136      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
137      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
138      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
139    
140    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
141      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
142      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
143      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
144    
145    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
146      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
147      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
148    
149    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
150    
151    
152    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
153    
154    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
155      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
156      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
157    
158    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
159    
160    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
161      the session state, only at code-level.
162    
163    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
164      existing instrument file name.
165    
166    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
167      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
168      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
169      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
170      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
171      corrected some tooltip text strings.
172    
173    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
174      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
175      window managers.
176    
177    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
178      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
179      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
180      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
181    
182    * GPL address update.
183    
184    
185    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
186    
187    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
188      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
189    
190    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
191    
192    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
193      installation paths have been added to configure command
194      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
195    
196    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
197      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
198      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
199      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
200      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
201    
202    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
203      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
204      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
205      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
206    
207    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
208    
209    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
210      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
211    
212    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
213      title name prefix.
214    
215    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
216      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
217      generated at configure time.
218    
219    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
220      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
221      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
222      argument have some effect on X11.
223    
224    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
225    
226    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
227      compiled with -no-stl.
228    
229    
230    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
231    
232    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
233      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
234      one, while on qjackctl).
235    
236    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
237      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
238    
239    
240    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
241    
242    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
243      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
244    
245    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
246      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
247      info updates.
248    
249    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
250      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
251      device dialog.
252    
253    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
254    
255    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
256      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
257      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
258      Mayat, for pointing these out).
259    
260    
261    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
262    
263    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
264    
265    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
266      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
267      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
268    
269    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
270      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
271    
272    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
273      an instrument.
274    
275    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
276    
277    
278    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
279    
280    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
281      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
282      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
283      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
284    
285    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
286      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
287      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
288    
289    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
290      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
291    
292    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
293    
294    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
295      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
296      change information are now also posted to messages window.
297    
298    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
299      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
300      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
301      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
302    
303    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
304      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
305      sampler instrument file.
306    
307    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
308      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
309      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
310      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
311    
312    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
313      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
314      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
315    
316    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
317      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
318      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
319      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
320    
321    
322    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
323    
324    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
325      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
326      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
327    
328    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
329      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
330      following common user-interface guidelines.
331    
332    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
333      control structures.
334    
335    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
336    
337    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
338      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
339      channel (omni mode).
340    
341    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
342      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
343    
344    * Minor configure fixes.
345    
346    
347    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
348    
349  * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.  * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
