4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.1.1   2005-06-09 The mantra of bugfixes.  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
9      (EXPERIMENTAL)
10    
11    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
12      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
13      instruments of the same file.
14    
15    
16    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
17    
18    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
19    
20    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
21    
22    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
23      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
24    
25    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
26    
27    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
28    
29    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
30    
31    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
32      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
33    
34    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
35    
36    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
37    
38    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
39    
40    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
41    
42    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
43      and make.
44    
45    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
46      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
47      Debian 6.
48    
49    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
50      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
51    
52    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
53      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
54      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
55      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
56    
57    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
58    
59    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
60      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
61      wrong main widget hidden state.
62    
63    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
64    
65    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
66      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
67      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
68      targets (--enable-debug).
69    
70    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
71    
72    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
73      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
74      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
75    
76    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
77      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
78    
79    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
80      a menu separator has been added.
81    
82    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
83      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
84    
85    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
86      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
87      lame green solid background :).
88    
89    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
90      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
91    
92    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
93    
94    
95    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
96    
97    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
98      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
99      ever may follow ;)
100    
101    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
102    
103    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
104      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
105      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
106      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
107      a sampler the next time.
108    
109    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
110    
111    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
112    
113    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
114      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
115      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
116      (default none).
117    
118    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
119      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
120      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
121    
122    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
123      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
124      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
125      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
126    
127    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
128      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
129    
130    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
131      screwed.
132    
133    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
134      e.g. by other frontends.
135    
136    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
137      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
138      (fixes segfault on device changes)
139    
140    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
141      "View" main menu.
142    
143    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
144    
145    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
146    
147    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
148      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
149    
150    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
151      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
152    
153    
154    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
155    
156    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
157      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
158      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
159      default.
160    
161    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
162      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
163    
164    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
165      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
166    
167    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
168      creating a new sampler channel.
169    
170    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
171    
172    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
173      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
174      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
175      first time).
176    
177    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
178      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
179    
180    * Added Windows file path support.
181    
182    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
183      under win32.
184    
185    * Qt4 port of the application.
186    
187    
188    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
189    
190    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
191      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
192      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
193      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
194    
195    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
196      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
197      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
198      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
199    
200    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
201      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
202      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
203    
204    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
205    
206    
207    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
208    
209    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
210      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
211      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
212    
213    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
214    
215    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
216      the session state, only at code-level.
217    
218    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
219      existing instrument file name.
220    
221    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
222      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
223      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
224      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
225      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
226      corrected some tooltip text strings.
227    
228    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
229      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
230      window managers.
231    
232    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
233      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
234      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
235      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
236    
237    * GPL address update.
238    
239    
240    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
241    
242    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
243      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
244    
245    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
246    
247    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
248      installation paths have been added to configure command
249      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
250    
251    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
252      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
253      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
254      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
255      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
256    
257    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
258      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
259      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
260      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
261    
262    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
263    
264    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
265      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
266    
267    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
268      title name prefix.
269    
270    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
271      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
272      generated at configure time.
273    
274    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
275      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
276      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
277      argument have some effect on X11.
278    
279    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
280    
281    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
282      compiled with -no-stl.
283    
284    
285    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
286    
287    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
288      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
289      one, while on qjackctl).
290    
291    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
292      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
293    
294    
295    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
