4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.1.1   2005-06-02 The mantra of bugfixes.  SVN TRUNK
7    
8  * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks  * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
9      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
10    
11    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
12    
13    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
14      debian, thanks).
15    
16    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
17    
18    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
19      (EXPERIMENTAL)
20    
21    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
22      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
23      instruments of the same file.
24    
25    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
26      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
27    
28    
29    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
30    
31    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
32    
33    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
34    
35    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
36      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
37    
38    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
39    
40    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
41    
42    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
43    
44    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
45      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
46    
47    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
48    
49    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
50    
51    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
52    
53    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
54    
55    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
56      and make.
57    
58    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
59      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
60      Debian 6.
61    
62    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
63      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
64    
65    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
66      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
67      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
68      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
69    
70    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
71    
72    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
73      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
74      wrong main widget hidden state.
75    
76    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
77    
78    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
79      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
80      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
81      targets (--enable-debug).
82    
83    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
84    
85    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
86      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
87      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
88    
89    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
90      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
91    
92    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
93      a menu separator has been added.
94    
95    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
96      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
97    
98    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
99      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
100      lame green solid background :).
101    
102    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
103      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
104    
105    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
106    
107    
108    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
109    
110    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
111      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
112      ever may follow ;)
113    
114    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
115    
116    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
117      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
118      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
119      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
120      a sampler the next time.
121    
122    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
123    
124    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
125    
126    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
127      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
128      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
129      (default none).
130    
131    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
132      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
133      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
134    
135    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
136      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
137      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
138      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
139    
140    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
141      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
142    
143    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
144      screwed.
145    
146    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
147      e.g. by other frontends.
148    
149    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
150      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
151      (fixes segfault on device changes)
152    
153    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
154      "View" main menu.
155    
156    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
157    
158    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
159    
160    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
161      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
162    
163    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
164      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
165    
166    
167    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
168    
169    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
170      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
171      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
172      default.
173    
174    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
175      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
176    
177    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
178      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
179    
180    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
181      creating a new sampler channel.
182    
183    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
184    
185    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
186      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
187      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
188      first time).
189    
190    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
191      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
192    
193    * Added Windows file path support.
194    
195    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
196      under win32.
197    
198    * Qt4 port of the application.
199    
200    
201    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
202    
203    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
204      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
205      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
206      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
207    
208    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
209      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
210      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
211      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
212    
213    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
214      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
215      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
216    
217    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
218    
219    
220    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
221    
222    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
223      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
224      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
225    
226    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
227    
228    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
229      the session state, only at code-level.
230    
231    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
232      existing instrument file name.
233    
234    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
235      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
236      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
237      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
238      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
239      corrected some tooltip text strings.
240    
241    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
242      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
243      window managers.
244    
245    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
246      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
247      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
248      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
249    
250    * GPL address update.
251    
252    
253    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

257    
258    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
259    
260    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
261      installation paths have been added to configure command
262      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
263    
264    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
265      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
266      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
267      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
268      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
269    
270    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
271      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
272      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
273      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
274    
275    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
276    
277    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
278      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
279    
280    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
281      title name prefix.
282    
283    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
284      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
285      generated at configure time.
286    
287    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
288      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
289      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
290      argument have some effect on X11.
291    
292    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
293    
294    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
295      compiled with -no-stl.
