5    
6  0.0.2   2004-06-07  Work in progress...  SVN TRUNK
7    
8  * Comment SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from  * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
9    saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.    a menu separator has been added.
10    
11  * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.h, between  * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
12      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
13    
14    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
15      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
16      lame green solid background :).
17    
18    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
19      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
20    
21    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
22    
23    
24    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
25    
26    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
27      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
28      ever may follow ;)
29    
30    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
31    
32    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
33      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
34      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
35      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
36      a sampler the next time.
37    
38    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
39    
40    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
41    
42    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
43      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
44      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
45      (default none).
46    
47    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
48      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
49      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
50    
51    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
52      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
53      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
54      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
55    
56    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
57      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
58    
59    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
60      screwed.
61    
62    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
63      e.g. by other frontends.
64    
65    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
66      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
67      (fixes segfault on device changes)
68    
69    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
70      "View" main menu.
71    
72    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
73    
74    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
75    
76    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
77      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
78    
79    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
80      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
81    
82    
83    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
84    
85    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
86      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
87      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
88      default.
89    
90    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
91      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
92    
93    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
94      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
95    
96    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
97      creating a new sampler channel.
98    
99    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
100    
101    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
102      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
103      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
104      first time).
105    
106    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
107      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
108    
109    * Added Windows file path support.
110    
111    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
112      under win32.
113    
114    * Qt4 port of the application.
115    
116    
117    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
118    
119    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
120      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
121      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
122      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
123    
124    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
125      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
126      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
127      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
128    
129    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
130      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
131      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
132    
133    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
134    
135    
136    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
137    
138    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
139      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
140      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
141    
142    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
143    
144    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
145      the session state, only at code-level.
146    
147    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
148      existing instrument file name.
149    
150    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
151      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
152      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
153      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
154      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
155      corrected some tooltip text strings.
156    
157    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
158      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
159      window managers.
160    
161    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
162      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
163      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
164      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
165    
166    * GPL address update.
167    
168    
169    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
170    
171    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
172      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
173    
174    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
175    
176    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
177      installation paths have been added to configure command
178      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
179    
180    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
181      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
182      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
183      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
184      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
185    
186    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
187      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
188      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
189      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
190    
191    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
192    
193    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
194      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
195    
196    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
197      title name prefix.
198    
199    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
200      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
201      generated at configure time.
202    
203    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
204      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
205      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
206      argument have some effect on X11.
207    
208    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
209    
210    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
211      compiled with -no-stl.
212    
213    
214    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
215    
216    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
217      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
218      one, while on qjackctl).
219    
220    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
221      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
222    
223    
224    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
225    
226    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
227      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
228    
229    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
230      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
231      info updates.
232    
233    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
234      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
235      device dialog.
236    
237    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
238    
239    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
240      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
241      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
242      Mayat, for pointing these out).
243    
244    
245    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
246    
247    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
248    
249    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
250      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
251      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
252    
253    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
254      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
255    
256    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
257      an instrument.
258    
259    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
260    
261    
262    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
263    
264    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
265      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
266      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
267      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
268    
269    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
270      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
271      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
272    
273    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
274      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
275    
276    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
277    
278    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
279      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
280      change information are now also posted to messages window.
281    
282    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
283      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
284      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
285      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
286    
287    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
288      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
289      sampler instrument file.
290    
291    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
292      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
293      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
294      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
295    
296    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
297      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
298      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
299    
300    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
301      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
302      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
303      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
304    
305    
306    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
307    
308    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
309      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
310      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
311    
312    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
313      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
314      following common user-interface guidelines.
315    
316    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
317      control structures.
318    
319    * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
320    
321    * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
322      the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
323      channel (omni mode).
324    
325    * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
326      color to black (was green), being now an user option.
327    
328    * Minor configure fixes.
329    
330    
331    0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
332    
333    * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
334    
335    * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
336      and on session file save.
337    
338    * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
339      on create time.
340    
341    * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
342    
343    
344    0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
345    
346    * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
347      over the empty workspace area.
348    
349    * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
350      so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
351      avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
352      correct salvage of settings and configuration.
353    
354    * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
355      provided to override the default (which is 100%).
356    
357    * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
358      increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
359    
360    * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
361      each sampler channel strip.
362    
363    * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
364      qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
365    
366    * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
367    a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.    a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
368    
369  * An initial non zero value (0.8) should be set for the channel  * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
370    volume, while GET CHANNEL INFO command is pending implementation.    new sampler channel strip.
