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