17    
18    
19    0.3.1  2015-07-19  Summer'15 release frenzy.
20    
21    * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
22      64bit Linux flavours.
23    
24    * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.

28    
29    * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
30    
31    
32    0.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
33    
34    * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
35    
36    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most

39    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
40

62    
63    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
64      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
65

92    
93    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
94      and make.
95    
96    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
97      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
98      Debian 6.
99    
100    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
101      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
102    
103    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
104      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
105      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
106      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
107    
108    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
109    
110    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
111      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
112      wrong main widget hidden state.
113    
114    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
115    
116    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
117      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
118      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
119      targets (--enable-debug).
120    
121    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
122    
123    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
124      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
125      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
126    
127    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
128      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
129    
130    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
131      a menu separator has been added.
132    
133    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
134      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
135    
136    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
137      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
138      lame green solid background :).
139    
140    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
141      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
142    
143    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
144    
145    
146    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
147    
148    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
149      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
150      ever may follow ;)
151    
152    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
153    
154    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
155      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
156      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
157      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
158      a sampler the next time.
159    
160    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
161    
162    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
163    
164    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
165      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
166      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
167      (default none).
168    
169    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
170      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
171      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
172    
173    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
174      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
175      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
176      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
177    
178    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
179      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
180    
181    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
182      screwed.
183    
184    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
185      e.g. by other frontends.
186    
187  0.1.0   2005-04-27  Device configuration work in progress...  * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
188      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
189      (fixes segfault on device changes)
190    
191    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
192      "View" main menu.
193    
194    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
195    
196    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
197    
198    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
199      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
200    
201    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
202      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
203    
204    
205    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
206    
207    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
208      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
209      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
210      default.
211    
212    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
213      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
214    
215    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
216      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
217    
218    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
219      creating a new sampler channel.
220    
221    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
222    
223    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
224      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
225      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
226      first time).
227    
228    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
229      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
230    
231    * Added Windows file path support.
232    
233    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
234      under win32.
235    
236    * Qt4 port of the application.
237    
238    
239    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
240    
241    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
242      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
243      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
244      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
245    
246    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
247      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
248      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
249      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
250    
251    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
252      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
253      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
254    
255    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
256    
257    
258    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
259    
260    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
261      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
262      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
263    
264    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
265    
266    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
267      the session state, only at code-level.
268    
269    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
270      existing instrument file name.
271    
272    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
273      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
274      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
275      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
276      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
277      corrected some tooltip text strings.
278    
279    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
280      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
281      window managers.
282    
283    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
284      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
285      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
286      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
287    
288    * GPL address update.
289    
290    
291    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

293    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
294      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
295    
296    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
297    
298    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
299      installation paths have been added to configure command
300      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
301    
302    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
303      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
304      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
305      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
306      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
307    
308    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
309      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
310      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
311      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
312    
313    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
314    
315    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
316      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
317    
318    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
319      title name prefix.
320    
321    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
322      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
323      generated at configure time.
324    
325    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
326      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
327      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
328      argument have some effect on X11.
329    
330    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
331    
332    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
333      compiled with -no-stl.
334    
335    
336    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
337    
338    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
339      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
340      one, while on qjackctl).
341    
342    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
343      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
344    
345    
346    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
347    
348    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
349      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
350    
351    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
352      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
353      info updates.
354    
355    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
356      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
357      device dialog.
358    
359    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
360    
361    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
362      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
363      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
364      Mayat, for pointing these out).
365    
366    
367    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
368    
369  * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).  * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
370
