 CVS HEAD  
6    
7  - GPL address update.  0.4.2  2016-11-14  A Fall'16 release.
8    
9    * Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application
10      instance setup.
11    
12    * Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
13      line options, wrt. installation directories specification,

15    
16    
17    0.4.1  2016-09-14  End of Summer'16 release.
18    
19    * Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended
20      in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
21      
22    * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
23      given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
24      Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
25    
26    * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
27      auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
28    
29    
30    0.4.0  2016-04-05  Spring'16 release frenzy.
31    
32    * Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
33    
34    * Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
35    
36    * Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now
37      in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.
38    
39    * Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.
40    
41    
42    0.3.1  2015-07-19  Summer'15 release frenzy.
43    
44    * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
45      64bit Linux flavours.
46    
47    * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
48    
49    * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
50      sub-routine is now in effect.
51    
52    * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
53    
54    
55    0.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
56    
57    * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
58    
59    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
60      of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
61    
62    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
63    
64    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
65      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
66    
67    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
68      main toolbar orientation.
69    
70    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
71      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
72    
73    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
74    
75    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
76      debian, thanks).
77    
78    * Translations install directory change.
79    
80    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
81    
82    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
83      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
84      instruments of the same file.
85    
86    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
87      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
88    
89    
90    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
91    
92    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.

102    
103    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.

109    
110    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
111    
112    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
113    
114    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
115    
116    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
117      and make.
118    
119    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
120      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
121      Debian 6.
122    
123    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
124      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
125    
126    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
127      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
128      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
129      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
130    
131    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
132    
133    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
134      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
135      wrong main widget hidden state.
136    
137    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
138    
139    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
140      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
141      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
142      targets (--enable-debug).
143    
144    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
145    
146    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
147      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
148      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
149    
150    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
151      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
152    
153    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
154      a menu separator has been added.
155    
156    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
157      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
158    
159    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
160      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
161      lame green solid background :).
162    
163    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
164      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
165    
166    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
167    
168    
169    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
170    
171    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
172      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
173      ever may follow ;)
174    
175    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
176    
177    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
178      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
179      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
180      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
181      a sampler the next time.
182    
183    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
184    
185    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
186    
187    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
188      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
189      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
190      (default none).
191    
192    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
193      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
194      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
195    
196    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
197      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
198      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
199      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
200    
201    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
202      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
203    
204    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
205      screwed.
206    
207    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
208      e.g. by other frontends.
209    
210    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
211      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
212      (fixes segfault on device changes)
213    
214    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
215      "View" main menu.
216    
217    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
218    
219    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
220    
221    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
222      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
223    
224    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
225      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
226    
227    
228    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
229    
230    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
231      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
232      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
233      default.
234    
235    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
236      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
237    
238    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
239      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
240    
241    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
242      creating a new sampler channel.
243    
244    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
245    
246    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
247      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
248      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
249      first time).
250    
251    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
252      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
253    
254    * Added Windows file path support.
255    
256    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
257      under win32.
258    
259    * Qt4 port of the application.
260    
261    
262    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
263    
264    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
265      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
266      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
267      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
268    
269    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
270      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
271      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
272      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
273    
274    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
275      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
276      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
277    
278    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
279    
280    
281    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
282    
283    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
284      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
285      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
286    
287    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
288    
289    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
290      the session state, only at code-level.
291    
292    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
293      existing instrument file name.
294    
295    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
296      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
297      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
298      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
299      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
300      corrected some tooltip text strings.
301    
302    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
303      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
304      window managers.
305    
306    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
307      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
308      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
309      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
310    
311    * GPL address update.
