4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.4   2004-09-28  Work in progress...  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
9    
10    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
11      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
12      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
13    
14    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
15      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
16    
17    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
18      a menu separator has been added.
19    
20    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
21      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
22    
23    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
24      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
25      lame green solid background :).
26    
27    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
28      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
29    
30    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
31    
32    
33    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
34    
35    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
36      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
37      ever may follow ;)
38    
39    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
40    
41    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
42      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
43      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
44      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
45      a sampler the next time.
46    
47    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
48    
49    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
50    
51    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
52      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
53      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
54      (default none).
55    
56    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
57      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
58      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
59    
60    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
61      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
62      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
63      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
64    
65    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
66      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
67    
68    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
69      screwed.
70    
71    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
72      e.g. by other frontends.
73    
74    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
75      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
76      (fixes segfault on device changes)
77    
78    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
79      "View" main menu.
80    
81    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
82    
83    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
84    
85    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
86      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
87    
88    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
89      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
90    
91    
92    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
93    
94    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
95      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
96      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
97      default.
98    
99    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
100      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
101    
102    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
103      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
104    
105    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
106      creating a new sampler channel.
107    
108    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
109    
110    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
111      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
112      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
113      first time).
114    
115    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
116      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
117    
118    * Added Windows file path support.
119    
120    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
121      under win32.
122    
123    * Qt4 port of the application.
124    
125    
126    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
127    
128    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
129      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
130      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
131      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
132    
133    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
134      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
135      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
136      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
137    
138    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
139      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
140      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
141    
142    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
143    
144    
145    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
146    
147    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
148      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
149      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
150    
151    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
152    
153    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
154      the session state, only at code-level.
155    
156    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
157      existing instrument file name.
158    
159    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
160      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
161      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
162      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
163      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
164      corrected some tooltip text strings.
165    
166    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
167      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
168      window managers.
169    
170    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
171      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
172      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
173      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
174    
175    * GPL address update.
176    
177    
178    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
179    
180    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
181      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
182    
183    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
184    
185    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
186      installation paths have been added to configure command
187      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
188    
189    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
190      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
191      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
192      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
193      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
194    
195    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
196      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
197      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
198      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
199    
200    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
201    
202    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
203      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
204    
205    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
206      title name prefix.
207    
208    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
209      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
210      generated at configure time.
211    
212    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
213      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
214      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
215      argument have some effect on X11.
216    
217    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
218    
219    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
220      compiled with -no-stl.
221    
222    
223    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
224    
225    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
226      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
227      one, while on qjackctl).
228    
229    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
230      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
231    
232    
233    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
234    
235    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
236      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
237    
238    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
239      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
240      info updates.
241    
242    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
243      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
244      device dialog.
245    
246    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
247    
248    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
249      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
250      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
251      Mayat, for pointing these out).
252    
253    
254    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
255    
256    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
257    
258    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
259      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
260      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
261    
262    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
263      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
264    
265    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
266      an instrument.
267    
268    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
269    
270    
271    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
272    
273    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
274      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
275      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
276      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
277    
278    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
279      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
280      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
281    
282    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
283      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
284    
285    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
286    
287    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
288      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
289      change information are now also posted to messages window.
290    
291    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
292      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
293      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
294      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
295    
296    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
297      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
298      sampler instrument file.
299    
300    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
301      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
302      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
303      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
304    
305    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
306      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
307      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
308    
309    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
310      count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
311      maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
312      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
313    
314    
315    0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
316    
317    * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
318      actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
319      the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
320    
321    * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
322      the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
323      following common user-interface guidelines.
324    
325    * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
326      control structures.
327    
328  * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.  * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
