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