4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.9   2005-03-07  Device configuration work in progress...  SVN TRUNK
7    
8  * Device configuration interface preparations.  * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
9    
10    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
11    
12    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
13      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
14    
15    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
16    
17    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
18    
19    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
20    
21    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
22    
23    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
24      and make.
25    
26    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
27      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
28      Debian 6.
29    
30    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
31      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
32    
33    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
34      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
35      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
36      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
37    
38    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
39    
40    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
41      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
42      wrong main widget hidden state.
43    
44    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
45    
46    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
47      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
48      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
49      targets (--enable-debug).
50    
51    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
52    
53    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
54      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
55      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
56    
57    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
58      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
59    
60    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
61      a menu separator has been added.
62    
63    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
64      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
65    
66    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
67      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
68      lame green solid background :).
69    
70    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
71      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
72    
73    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
74    
75    
76    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
77    
78    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
79      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
80      ever may follow ;)
81    
82    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
83    
84    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
85      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
86      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
87      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
88      a sampler the next time.
89    
90    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
91    
92    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
93    
94    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
95      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
96      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
97      (default none).
98    
99    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
100      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
101      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
102    
103    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
104      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
105      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
106      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
107    
108    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
109      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
110    
111    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
112      screwed.
113    
114    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
115      e.g. by other frontends.
116    
117    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
118      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
119      (fixes segfault on device changes)
120    
121    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
122      "View" main menu.
123    
124    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
125    
126    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
127    
128    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
129      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
130    
131    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
132      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
133    
134    
135    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
136    
137    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
138      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
139      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
140      default.
141    
142    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
143      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
144    
145    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
146      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
147    
148    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
149      creating a new sampler channel.
150    
151    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
152    
153    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
154      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
155      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
156      first time).
157    
158    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
159      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
160    
161    * Added Windows file path support.
162    
163    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
164      under win32.
165    
166    * Qt4 port of the application.
167    
168    
169    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
170    
171    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
172      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
173      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
174      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
175    
176    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
177      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
178      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
179      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
180    
181    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
182      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
183      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
184    
185    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
186    
187    
188    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
189    
190    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
191      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
192      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
193    
194    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
195    
196    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
197      the session state, only at code-level.
198    
199    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
200      existing instrument file name.
201    
202    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
203      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
204      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
205      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
206      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
207      corrected some tooltip text strings.
208    
209    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
210      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
211      window managers.
212    
213    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
214      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
215      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
216      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
217    
218    * GPL address update.
219    
220    
221    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
222    
223    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
224      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
225    
226    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
227    
228    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
229      installation paths have been added to configure command
230      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
231    
232    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
233      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
234      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
235      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
236      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
237    
238    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
239      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
240      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
241      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
242    
243    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
244    
245    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
246      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
247    
248    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
249      title name prefix.
250    
251    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
252      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
253      generated at configure time.
254    
255    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
256      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
257      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
258      argument have some effect on X11.
259    
260    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
261    
262    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
263      compiled with -no-stl.
264    
265    
266    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
267    
268    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
269      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
270      one, while on qjackctl).
271    
272    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
273      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
274    
275    
276    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
277    
278    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
279      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
280    
281    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
282      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
283      info updates.
284    
285    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
286      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
287      device dialog.
288    
289    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
290    
291    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
292      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
293      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
294      Mayat, for pointing these out).
295    
296    
297    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
298    
299    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
300    
301    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
302      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
303      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
304    
305    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
306      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
307    
308    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
309      an instrument.
310    
311    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
312    
313    
314  0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.  0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
