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