Fedora 13, + Debian 6. + +* Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling + into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL) + +* Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for + other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has + been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines + instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2). + +* General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place. + +* Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has + been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to + wrong main widget hidden state. + +* General source tree layout and build configuration change. + +* Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back- + traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure + option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build + targets (--enable-debug). + +* Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6. + +* Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher: + now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit + (65536), possibly fixing bug #136. + +* LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap + just makes it a shortcut to File/Save. + +* MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists; + a menu separator has been added. + +* Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices + and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed. + +* MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status + widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a + lame green solid background :). + +* Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to + disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied. + +* Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric). + + +0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle. + +* Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as + brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom + ever may follow ;) + +* Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons. + +* Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting + (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning + settings will be saved in case the user modified them and + automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to + a sampler the next time. + +* Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. + +* Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. + +* Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding + font size configuration, a new global user option is now available + to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size + (default none). + +* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of + the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode. + (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). + +* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and + running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup + iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its + main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). + +* Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, + with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging. + +* Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were + screwed. + +* Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed + e.g. by other frontends. + +* Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed, + e.g. on changes caused by other frontends + (fixes segfault on device changes) + +* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the + "View" main menu. + +* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. + +* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. + +* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel + strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. + +* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user + decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. + + +0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. + +* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument + names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then + the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by + default. + +* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually + evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). + +* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though + the main menu and toobar are not visible. + +* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when + creating a new sampler channel. + +* README requirements and configuration notes update. + +* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument + form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie + users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the + first time). + +* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters + which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). + +* Added Windows file path support. + +* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles + under win32. + +* Qt4 port of the application. + + +0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. + +* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and + mapping instrument files with special characters in their + filename, as well as special characters for instrument names + and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). + +* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably + does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate + instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor + tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. + +* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; + application desktop entry file is now included in installation; + spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. + +* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. + + +0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. + +* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and + cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color + highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. + +* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. + +* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving + the session state, only at code-level. + +* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor + existing instrument file name. + +* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; + hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; + keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; + improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; + instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); + corrected some tooltip text strings. + +* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, + which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some + window managers. + +* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now + with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; + MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in + the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. + +* GPL address update. + + +0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? + +* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, + on qsampler.spec (RPM). + +* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). + +* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig + installation paths have been added to configure command + arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). + +* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an + option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole + number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously + increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 + (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. + +* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio + and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, + are now expected to be a little better looking than it was + before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. + +* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits the sampler channel dialog, at last!
