6  CVS HEAD  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
9      debian, thanks).
10    
11    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
12    
13    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
14      (EXPERIMENTAL)
15    
16    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
17      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
18      instruments of the same file.
19    
20    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
21      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
22    
23    
24    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
25    
26    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
27    
28    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
29    
30    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
31      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
32    
33    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
34    
35    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
36    
37    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
38    
39    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
40      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
41    
42    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
43    
44    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
45    
46    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
47    
48    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
49    
50    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
51      and make.
52    
53    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
54      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
55      Debian 6.
56    
57    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
58      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
59    
60    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
61      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
62      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
63      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
64    
65    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
66    
67    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
68      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
69      wrong main widget hidden state.
70    
71    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
72    
73    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
74      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
75      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
76      targets (--enable-debug).
77    
78    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
79    
80    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
81      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
82      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
83    
84    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
85      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
86    
87    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
88      a menu separator has been added.
89    
90    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
91      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
92    
93    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
94      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
95      lame green solid background :).
96    
97    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
98      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
99    
100    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
101    
102    
103    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
104    
105    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
106      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
107      ever may follow ;)
108    
109    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
110    
111    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
112      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
113      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
114      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
115      a sampler the next time.
116    
117    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
118    
119    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
120    
121    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
122      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
123      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
124      (default none).
125    
126    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
127      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
128      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
129    
130    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
131      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
132      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
133      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
134    
135    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
136      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
137    
138    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
139      screwed.
140    
141    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
142      e.g. by other frontends.
143    
144    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
145      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
146      (fixes segfault on device changes)
147    
148    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
149      "View" main menu.
150    
151    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
152    
153    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
154    
155    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
156      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
157    
158    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
159      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
160    
161    
162    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
163    
164    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
165      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
166      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
167      default.
168    
169    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
170      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
171    
172    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
173      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
174    
175    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
176      creating a new sampler channel.
177    
178    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
179    
180    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
181      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
182      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
183      first time).
184    
185    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
186      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
187    
188    * Added Windows file path support.
189    
190    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
191      under win32.
192    
193    * Qt4 port of the application.
194    
195    
196    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
197    
198    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
199      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
200      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
201      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
202    
203    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
204      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
205      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
206      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
207    
208    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
209      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
210      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
211    
212    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
213    
214    
215    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
216    
217    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
218      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
219      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
220    
221    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
222    
223    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
224      the session state, only at code-level.
225    
226    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
227      existing instrument file name.
228    
229    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
230      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
231      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
232      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
233      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
234      corrected some tooltip text strings.
235    
236    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
237      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
238      window managers.
239    
240    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
241      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
242      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
243      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
244    
245    * GPL address update.
