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