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