 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interfa
  ChangeLog
-.1.1   2005-06-02 The mantra of bugfixes.
+ GIT HEAD
+ - AppStream metadata updated to be the most compliant with
+   latest freedesktop.org specification and recommendation.
+.5.2  2018-07-22  A Summer'18 Release.
+ - AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all
+   permisssive license (FSFAP).
+.5.1  2018-05-21  Pre-LAC2018 release frenzy.
+ - Disable singleton/unique application instance setup logic
+   when the display server platform is not X11.
+ - Fixed device management dialog not responding to user changes.
+ - A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side.
+ - Fixed minor memory leak in device management dialog.
+ - Fixed unnecessary latency when closing app.
+.5.0  2017-12-12  An Autumn'17 release.
+ - French (fr) translation added by Olivier Humbert
+   (qsampler_fr.ts).
+ - Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent
+   from build/configure template chains.
+ - Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo
+   file (formerly AppData).
+.4.3  2017-04-27  Pre-LAC2017 release frenzy.
+ - Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
+ - Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of
+   the configure build date and time stamps.
+.4.2  2016-11-14  A Fall'16 release.
+ * Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application
+   instance setup.
+ * Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
+   line options, wrt. installation directories specification,
+   eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.
+.4.1  2016-09-14  End of Summer'16 release.
+ * Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended
+   in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
+ * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
+   given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
+   Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
+ * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
+   auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
+.4.0  2016-04-05  Spring'16 release frenzy.
+ * Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
+ * Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
+ * Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now
+   in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.
+ * Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.
+.3.1  2015-07-19  Summer'15 release frenzy.
+ * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
+bit Linux flavours.
+ * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
+ * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
+   sub-routine is now in effect.
+ * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
+.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
+ * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
+ * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
+   of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
+ * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
+ * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
+   stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
+ * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
+   main toolbar orientation.
+ * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
+   as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
+ * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
+ * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
+   debian, thanks).
+ * Translations install directory change.
+ * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
+ * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
+   the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
+   instruments of the same file.
+ * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
+   (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
+.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
+ * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
+ * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
+ * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
+   session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
+ * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
+ * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
+ * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
+ * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
+   configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
+ * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
+ * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
+ * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
+ * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
+ * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
+   and make.
+ * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
+   as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
+   Debian 6.
+ * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
+   into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
+ * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
+   other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
+   been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
+   instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
+ * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
+ * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
+   been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
+   wrong main widget hidden state.
+ * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
+ * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
+   traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
+   option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
+   targets (--enable-debug).
+ * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
+ * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
+   now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
+   (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
+ * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
+   just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
+ * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
+   a menu separator has been added.
+ * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
+   and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
+ * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
+   widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
+   lame green solid background :).
+ * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
+   disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
+ * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
+.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
+ * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
+   brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
+   ever may follow ;)
+ * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
+ * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
+   (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
+   settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
+   automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
+   a sampler the next time.
+ * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
+ * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
+ * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
+   font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
+   to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
+   (default none).
+ * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
+   the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
+   (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
+ * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
+   running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
+   iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
+   main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
+ * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
+   with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
+ * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
+   screwed.
+ * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
+   e.g. by other frontends.
+ * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
+   e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
+   (fixes segfault on device changes)
+ * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
+   "View" main menu.
+ * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
+ * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
+ * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
+   strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
+ * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
+   decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
+.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
+ * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
+   names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
+   the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
+   default.
+ * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
+   evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
+ * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
+   the main menu and toobar are not visible.
+ * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
+   creating a new sampler channel.
+ * README requirements and configuration notes update.
+ * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
+   form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
+   users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
+   first time).
+ * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
+   which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
+ * Added Windows file path support.
+ * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
+   under win32.
+ * Qt4 port of the application.
+.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
+ * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
+   mapping instrument files with special characters in their
+   filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
+   and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
+ * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
+   does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
+   instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
+   tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
+ * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
+   application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
+   spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
+ * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
+.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
+ * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
+   cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
+   highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
+ * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
+ * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
+   the session state, only at code-level.
+ * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
+   existing instrument file name.
+ * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
+   hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
+   keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
+   improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
+   instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
+   corrected some tooltip text strings.
+ * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
+   which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
+   window managers.
+ * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
+   with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
+   MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
+   the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
+ * GPL address update.
+.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
+ * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
+   on qsampler.spec (RPM).
+ * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
+ * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
+   installation paths have been added to configure command
+   arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
+ * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
+   option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
+   number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
+   increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
+   (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
+ * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
+   and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
+   are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
+   before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
+ * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
+ * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
+   the sampler channel dialog, at last!
+ * All widget captions changed to include proper application
+   title name prefix.
+ * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
+   sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
+   generated at configure time.
+ * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
+   registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
+   to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
+   argument have some effect on X11.
+ * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
+ * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
+   compiled with -no-stl.
+.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
+ * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
+   turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
+   one, while on qjackctl).
+ * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
+   minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
+.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
+ * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
+   to Christian Schoenebeck design.
  * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
-   in an error state, which wwas preventing correct channel
+   in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
    info updates.

+   device dialog.
+ * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
+ * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
+   Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
+   with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
+   Mayat, for pointing these out).
 .1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
- * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
+ * Device configuration is now complete.
  * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
    consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
    sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
  * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
    instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
  * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
    an instrument.

 ChangeLog
    drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
    files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
  * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
    featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
    sampler instrument file.
  * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
