4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.5   2004-12-21  Work in progress...  GIT HEAD
7    
8  - Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line  * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
9      main toolbar orientation.
10    
11    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
12      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
13    
14    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
15    
16    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
17      debian, thanks).
18    
19    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
20    
21    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
22      (EXPERIMENTAL)
23    
24    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
25      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
26      instruments of the same file.
27    
28    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
29      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
30    
31    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
32    
33    
34    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
35    
36    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
37    
38    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
39    
40    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
41      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
42    
43    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
44    
45    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
46    
47    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
48    
49    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
50      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
51    
52    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
53    
54    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
55    
56    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
57    
58    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
59    
60    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
61      and make.
62    
63    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
64      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
65      Debian 6.
66    
67    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
68      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
69    
70    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
71      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
72      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
73      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
74    
75    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
76    
77    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
78      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
79      wrong main widget hidden state.
80    
81    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
82    
83    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
84      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
85      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
86      targets (--enable-debug).
87    
88    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
89    
90    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
91      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
92      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
93    
94    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
95      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
96    
97    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
98      a menu separator has been added.
99    
100    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
101      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
102    
103    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
104      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
105      lame green solid background :).
106    
107    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
108      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
109    
110    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
111    
112    
113    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
114    
115    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
116      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
117      ever may follow ;)
118    
119    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
120    
121    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
122      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
123      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
124      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
125      a sampler the next time.
126    
127    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
128    
129    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
130    
131    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
132      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
133      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
134      (default none).
135    
136    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
137      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
138      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
139    
140    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
141      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
142      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
143      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
144    
145    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
146      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
147    
148    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
149      screwed.
150    
151    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
152      e.g. by other frontends.
153    
154    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
155      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
156      (fixes segfault on device changes)
157    
158    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
159      "View" main menu.
160    
161    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
162    
163    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
164    
165    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
166      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
167    
168    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
169      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
170    
171    
172    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
173    
174    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
175      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
176      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
177      default.
178    
179    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
180      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
181    
182    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
183      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
184    
185    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
186      creating a new sampler channel.
187    
188    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
189    
190    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
191      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
192      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
193      first time).
194    
195    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
196      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
197    
198    * Added Windows file path support.
199    
200    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
201      under win32.
202    
203    * Qt4 port of the application.
204    
205    
206    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
207    
208    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
209      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
210      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
211      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
212    
213    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
214      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
215      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
216      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
217    
218    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
219      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
220      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
221    
222    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
223    
224    
225    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
226    
227    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
228      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
229      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
230    
231    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
232    
233    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
234      the session state, only at code-level.
235    
236    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
237      existing instrument file name.
238    
239    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
240      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
241      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
242      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
243      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
244      corrected some tooltip text strings.
245    
246    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
247      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
248      window managers.
249    
250    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
251      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
252      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
253      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
254    
255    * GPL address update.
256    
257    
258    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
259    
260    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
261      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
262    
263    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
264    
265    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
266      installation paths have been added to configure command
267      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
268    
269    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
270      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
271      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
272      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
273      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
274    
275    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
276      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
277      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
278      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
279    
280    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
281    
282    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
283      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
284    
285    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
286      title name prefix.
287    
288    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
289      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
290      generated at configure time.
291    
292    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
293      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
294      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
295      argument have some effect on X11.
296    
297    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
298    
299    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
300      compiled with -no-stl.
301    
302    
303    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
304    
305    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
306      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
307      one, while on qjackctl).
308    
309    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
310      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
311    
312    
313    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
314    
315    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
316      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
317    
318    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
319      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
320      info updates.
321    
322    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
323      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
324      device dialog.
325    
326    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
327    
328    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
329      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
330      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
331      Mayat, for pointing these out).
332    
333    
334    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
335    
336    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
337    
338    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
339      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
340      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
341    
342    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
343      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
344    
345    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
346      an instrument.
347    
348    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
349    
350    
351    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
352    
353    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
354      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
355      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
356      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
357    
358    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
359      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
360      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
361    
362    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
363      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
364    
365    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
366    
367    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
368      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
369      change information are now also posted to messages window.
370    
371    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
372      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
373      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
374      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
375    
376    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
377      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
378      sampler instrument file.
379    
380    * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
381      from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
382      avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
383      channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
384    
385    * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
386      available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
387      a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
388    
389    * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
390    count exceeds in one third the user configured line count    count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
391    maximum.    maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
392      otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
393    
394    
395  0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.  0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
