4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.4   2004-09-28  Work in progress...  CVS HEAD
7    
8    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
9      other frontends.
10    
11    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
12      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
13      (fixes segfault on device changes)
14    
15    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
16      main menu.
17    
18    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
19    
20    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
21    
22    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
23      particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
24    
25    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
26      whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
27    
28    
29    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
30    
31    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
32      very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
33      name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
34    
35    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
36      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
37    
38    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
39      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
40    
41    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
42      creating a new sampler channel.
43    
44    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
45    
46    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
47      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
48      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
49      first time).
50    
51    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
52      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
53    
54    * Added Windows file path support.
55    
56    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
57      under win32.
58    
59    * Qt4 port of the application.
60    
61    
62    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
63    
64    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
65      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
66      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
67      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
68    
69    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
70      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
71      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
72      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
73    
74    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
75      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
76      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
77    
78    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
79    
80    
81    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
82    
83    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
84      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
85      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
86    
87    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
88    
89    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
90      the session state, only at code-level.
91    
92    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
93      existing instrument file name.
94    
95    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
96      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
97      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
98      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
99      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
100      corrected some tooltip text strings.
101    
102    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
103      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
104      window managers.
105    
106    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
107      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
108      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
109      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
110    
111    * GPL address update.
112    
113    
114    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
115    
116    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
117      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
118    
119    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
120    
121    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
122      installation paths have been added to configure command
123      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
124    
125    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
126      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
127      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
128      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
129      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
130    
131    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
132      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
133      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
134      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
135    
136    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
137    
138    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
139      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
140    
141    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
142      title name prefix.
143    
144    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
145      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
146      generated at configure time.
147    
148    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
149      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
150      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
151      argument have some effect on X11.
152    
153    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
154    
155    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
156      compiled with -no-stl.
157    
158    
159    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
160    
161    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
162      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
163      one, while on qjackctl).
164    
165    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
166      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
167    
168    
169    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
170    
171    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
172      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
173    
174    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
175      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
176      info updates.
177    
178    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
179      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
180      device dialog.
181    
182    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
183    
184    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
185      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
186      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
187      Mayat, for pointing these out).
188    
189    
190    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
191    
192    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
193    
194    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
195      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
196      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
197    
198    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
199      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
200    
201    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
202      an instrument.
203    
204    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
205    
206    
207    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
208    
209    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
210      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
211      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
212      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
213    
214    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
215      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
216      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
217    
218    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
219      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
220    
221    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
222    
223    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
224      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
225      change information are now also posted to messages window.
226    
227    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
228      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
229      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
230      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
231    
232    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
233      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
234      sampler instrument file.
235    
236    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
237      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
238      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
239      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
240    
241    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
242      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
243      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
244    
245    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
246      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
247      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
248      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
249    
250    
251    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
252    
253    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
254      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
255      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
256    
257    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
258      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
259      following common user-interface guidelines.
260    
261    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
262      control structures.
263    
264  * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.  * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
