5    
6  0.0.5   2005-02-24  Work in progress...  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
9    
10    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
11      debian, thanks).
12    
13    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
14    
15    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
16      (EXPERIMENTAL)
17    
18    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
19      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
20      instruments of the same file.
21    
22    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
23      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
24    
25    
26    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
27    
28    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
29    
30    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
31    
32    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
33      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
34    
35    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
36    
37    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
38    
39    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
40    
41    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
42      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
43    
44    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
45    
46    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
47    
48    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
49    
50    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
51    
52    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
53      and make.
54    
55    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
56      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
57      Debian 6.
58    
59    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
60      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
61    
62    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
63      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
64      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
65      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
66    
67    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
68    
69    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
70      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
71      wrong main widget hidden state.
72    
73    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
74    
75    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
76      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
77      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
78      targets (--enable-debug).
79    
80    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
81    
82    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
83      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
84      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
85    
86    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
87      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
88    
89    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
90      a menu separator has been added.
91    
92    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
93      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
94    
95    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
96      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
97      lame green solid background :).
98    
99    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
100      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
101    
102    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
103    
104    
105    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
106    
107    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
108      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
109      ever may follow ;)
110    
111    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
112    
113    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
114      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
115      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
116      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
117      a sampler the next time.
118    
119    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
120    
121    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
122    
123    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
124      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
125      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
126      (default none).
127    
128    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
129      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
130      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
131    
132    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
133      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
134      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
135      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
136    
137    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
138      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
139    
140    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
141      screwed.
142    
143    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
144      e.g. by other frontends.
145    
146    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
147      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
148      (fixes segfault on device changes)
149    
150    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
151      "View" main menu.
152    
153    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
154    
155    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
156    
157    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
158      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
159    
160    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
161      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
162    
163    
164    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
165    
166    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
167      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
168      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
169      default.
170    
171    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
172      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
173    
174    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
175      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
176    
177    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
178      creating a new sampler channel.
179    
180    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
181    
182    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
183      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
184      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
185      first time).
186    
187    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
188      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
189    
190    * Added Windows file path support.
191    
192    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
193      under win32.
194    
195    * Qt4 port of the application.
196    
197    
198    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
199    
200    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
201      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
202      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
203      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
204    
205    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
206      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
207      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
208      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
209    
210    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
211      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
212      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
213    
214    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
215    
216    
217    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
218    
219    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
220      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
221      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
222    
223    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
224    
225    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
226      the session state, only at code-level.
227    
228    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
229      existing instrument file name.
230    
231    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
232      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
233      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
234      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
235      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
236      corrected some tooltip text strings.
237    
238    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
239      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
240      window managers.
241    
242    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
243      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
244      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
245      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
246    
247    * GPL address update.
248    
249    
250    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
251    
252    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
253      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
254    
255    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
256    
257    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
258      installation paths have been added to configure command
259      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
260    
261    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
262      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
263      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
264      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
265      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
266    
267    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
268      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
269      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
270      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
271    
272    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
273    
274    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
275      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
276    
277    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
278      title name prefix.
279    
280    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
281      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
282      generated at configure time.
283    
284    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
285      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
286      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
287      argument have some effect on X11.
288    
289    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
290    
291    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
292      compiled with -no-stl.
293    
294    
295    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
296    
297    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
298      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
299      one, while on qjackctl).
300    
301    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
302      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
303    
304    
305    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
306    
307    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
308      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
309    
310    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
311      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
312      info updates.
313    
314    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
315      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
316      device dialog.
317    
318    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
319    
320    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
321      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
322      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
323      Mayat, for pointing these out).
324    
325    
326    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
327    
328    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
329    
330    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
331      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
332      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
333    
334    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
335      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
336    
337    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
338      an instrument.
339    
340    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
341    
342    
343    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
344    
345    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
346      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
347      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
348      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
349
