5    
6    
7    GIT HEAD
8    
9    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
10      of the nagging warning/error message boxes. (EXPERIMENTAL)
11    
12    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
13    
14    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
15      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
16    
17    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
18      main toolbar orientation.
19    
20    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
21      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
22    
23    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
24    
25    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
26      debian, thanks).
27    
28    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
29    
30    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
31      (EXPERIMENTAL)
32    
33    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
34      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
35      instruments of the same file.
36    
37    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
38      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
39    
40    
41    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
42    
43    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
44    
45    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
46    
47    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
48      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
49    
50    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
51    
52    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
53    
54    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
55    
56    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
57      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
58    
59    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
60    
61    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
62    
63    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
64    
65    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
66    
67    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
68      and make.
69    
70    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
71      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
72      Debian 6.
73    
74    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
75      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
76    
77    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
78      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
79      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
80      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
81    
82    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
83    
84    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
85      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
86      wrong main widget hidden state.
87    
88    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
89    
90    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
91      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
92      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
93      targets (--enable-debug).
94    
95    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
96    
97    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
98      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
99      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
100    
101    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
102      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
103    
104    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
105      a menu separator has been added.
106    
107    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
108      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
109    
110    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
111      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
112      lame green solid background :).
113    
114    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
115      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
116    
117    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
118    
119    
120    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
121    
122    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
123      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
124      ever may follow ;)
125    
126    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
127    
128    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
129      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
130      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
131      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
132      a sampler the next time.
133    
134    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
135    
136    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
137    
138    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
139      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
140      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
141      (default none).
142    
143    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
144      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
145      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
146    
147    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
148      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
149      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
150      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
151    
152    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
153      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
154    
155    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
156      screwed.
157    
158    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
159      e.g. by other frontends.
160    
161    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
162      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
163      (fixes segfault on device changes)
164    
165    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
166      "View" main menu.
167    
168    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
169    
170    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
171    
172    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
173      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
174    
175    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
176      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
177    
178    
179    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
180    
181    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
182      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
183      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
184      default.
185    
186    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
187      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
188    
189    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
190      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
191    
192    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
193      creating a new sampler channel.
194    
195    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
196    
197    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
198      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
199      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
200      first time).
201    
202    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
203      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
204    
205    * Added Windows file path support.
206    
207    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
208      under win32.
209    
210    * Qt4 port of the application.
211    
212    
213    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
214    
215    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
216      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
217      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
218      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
219    
220    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
221      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
222      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
223      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
224    
225    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
226      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
227      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
228    
229    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
