4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
 0.0.9   2005-03-08  Device configuration work in progress...  
6    
7  * Device configuration interface preparations.  GIT HEAD
8    
9    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
10    
11    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
12      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
13    
14    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
15      main toolbar orientation.
16    
17    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
18      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
19    
20    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
21    
22    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
23      debian, thanks).
24    
25    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
26    
27    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
28      (EXPERIMENTAL)
29    
30    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
31      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
32      instruments of the same file.
33    
34    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
35      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
36    
37    
38    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
39    
40    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
41    
42    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
43    
44    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
45      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
46    
47    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
48    
49    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
50    
51    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
52    
53    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
54      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
55    
56    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
57    
58    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
59    
60    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
61    
62    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
63    
64    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
65      and make.
66    
67    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
68      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
69      Debian 6.
70    
71    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
72      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
73    
74    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
75      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
76      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
77      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
78    
79    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
80    
81    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
82      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
83      wrong main widget hidden state.
84    
85    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
86    
87    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
88      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
89      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
90      targets (--enable-debug).
91    
92    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
93    
94    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
95      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
96      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
97    
98    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
99      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
100    
101    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
102      a menu separator has been added.
103    
104    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
105      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
106    
107    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
108      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
109      lame green solid background :).
110    
111    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
112      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
113    
114    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
115    
116    
117    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
118    
119    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
120      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
121      ever may follow ;)
122    
123    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
124    
125    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
126      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
127      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
128      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
129      a sampler the next time.
130    
131    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
132    
133    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
134    
135    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
136      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
137      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
138      (default none).
139    
140    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
141      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
142      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
143    
144    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
145      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
146      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
147      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
148    
149    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
150      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
151    
152    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
153      screwed.
154    
155    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
156      e.g. by other frontends.
157    
158    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
159      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
160      (fixes segfault on device changes)
161    
162    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
163      "View" main menu.
164    
165    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
166    
167    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
168    
169    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
170      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
171    
172    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
173      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
174    
175    
176    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
177    
178    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
179      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
180      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
181      default.
182    
183    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
184      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
185    
186    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
187      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
188    
189    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
190      creating a new sampler channel.
191    
192    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
193    
194    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
195      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
196      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
197      first time).
198    
199    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
200      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
201    
202    * Added Windows file path support.
203    
204    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
205      under win32.
206    
207    * Qt4 port of the application.
208    
209    
210    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
211    
212    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
213      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
214      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
215      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
216    
217    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
218      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
219      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
220      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
221    
222    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
223      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
224      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
225    
226    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
227    
228    
229    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
230    
231    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
232      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
233      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
234    
235    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
236    
237    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
238      the session state, only at code-level.
239    
240    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
241      existing instrument file name.
242    
243    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
244      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
245      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
246      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
247      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
248      corrected some tooltip text strings.
249    
250    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
251      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
252      window managers.
253    
254    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
255      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
256      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
257      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
258    
259    * GPL address update.
260    
261    
262    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
263    
264    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
265      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
266    
267    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
268    
269    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
270      installation paths have been added to configure command
271      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
272    
273    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
274      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
275      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
276      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
277      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
278    
279    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
280      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
281      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
282      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
283    
284    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
285    
286    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
287      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
288    
289    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
290      title name prefix.
291    
292    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
293      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
294      generated at configure time.
295    
296    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
297      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
298      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
299      argument have some effect on X11.
300    
301    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
302    
303    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
304      compiled with -no-stl.
305    
306    
307    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
308    
309    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
310      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
311      one, while on qjackctl).
312    
313    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
314      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
315    
316    
317    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
318    
319    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
320      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
321    
322    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
323      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
324      info updates.
325    
326    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
327      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
328      device dialog.
329    
330    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
331    
332    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
333      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
334      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
335      Mayat, for pointing these out).
336    
337    
338    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
339    
340    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
341    
342    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
343      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
344      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
345    
346    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
347      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
348    
349    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
350      an instrument.
