 ChangeLog
 
-0.0.2   2004-06-07  Work in progress...
+0.0.5   2005-02-18  Work in progress...
 
-* Comment SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
-  saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
+* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
+  instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
+  drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
+  files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
 
-* Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.h, between
+* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
+  from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
+  avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
+  channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
+
+* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
+  available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
+  a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
+
+* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
+  count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
+  maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
+  otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
+
+
+0.0.4   2004-11-19  Fourth alpha-release.
+
+* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
+  actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
+  the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
+
+* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
+  the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
+  following common user-interface guidelines.
+
+* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
+  control structures.
+
+* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
+
+* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
+  the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
+  channel (omni mode).
+
+* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
+  color to black (was green), being now an user option.
+
+* Minor configure fixes.
+
+
+0.0.3   2004-07-06  Third alpha-release.
+
+* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
+
+* Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
+  and on session file save.
+
+* Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
+  on create time.
+
+* Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
+
+
+0.0.2   2004-06-15  Pre-revolutionary release.
+
+* The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
+  over the empty workspace area.
+
+* Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
+  so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
+  avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
+  correct salvage of settings and configuration.
+
+* Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
+  provided to override the default (which is 100%).
+
+* Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
+  increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
+
+* A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
+  each sampler channel strip.
+
+* Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
+  qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
+
+* Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
   a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
 
-* An initial non zero value (0.8) should be set for the channel
-  volume, while GET CHANNEL INFO command is pending implementation.
+* An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
+  new sampler channel strip.
 
 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
   suggested in the following lines:
