4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.1.1   2005-06-09 The mantra of bugfixes.  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows
9    
10    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
11      and make.
12    
13    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
14      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
15      Debian 6.
16    
17    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
18      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
19    
20    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
21      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
22      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
23      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
24    
25    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
26    
27    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
28      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
29      wrong main widget hidden state.
30    
31    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
32    
33    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
34      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
35      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
36      targets (--enable-debug).
37    
38    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
39    
40    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
41      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
42      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
43    
44    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
45      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
46    
47    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
48      a menu separator has been added.
49    
50    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
51      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
52    
53    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
54      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
55      lame green solid background :).
56    
57    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
58      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
59    
60    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
61    
62    
63    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
64    
65    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
66      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
67      ever may follow ;)
68    
69    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
70    
71    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
72      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
73      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
74      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
75      a sampler the next time.
76    
77    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
78    
79    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
80    
81    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
82      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
83      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
84      (default none).
85    
86    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
87      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
88      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
89    
90    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
91      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
92      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
93      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
94    
95    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
96      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
97    
98    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
99      screwed.
100    
101    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
102      e.g. by other frontends.
103    
104    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
105      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
106      (fixes segfault on device changes)
107    
108    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
109      "View" main menu.
110    
111    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
112    
113    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
114    
115    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
116      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
117    
118    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
119      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
120    
121    
122    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
123    
124    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
125      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
126      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
127      default.
128    
129    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
130      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
131    
132    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
133      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
134    
135    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
136      creating a new sampler channel.
137    
138    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
139    
140    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
141      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
142      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
143      first time).
144    
145    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
146      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
147    
148    * Added Windows file path support.
149    
150    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
151      under win32.
152    
153    * Qt4 port of the application.
154    
155    
156    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
157    
158    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
159      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
160      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
161      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
162    
163    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
164      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
165      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
166      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
167    
168    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
169      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
170      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
171    
172    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
173    
174    
175    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
176    
177    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
178      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
179      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
180    
181    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
182    
183    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
184      the session state, only at code-level.
185    
186    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
187      existing instrument file name.
188    
189    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
190      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
191      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
192      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
193      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
194      corrected some tooltip text strings.
195    
196    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
197      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
198      window managers.
199    
200    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
201      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
202      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
203      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
204    
205    * GPL address update.
206    
207    
208    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
209    
210    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
211      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
212    
213    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
214    
215    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
216      installation paths have been added to configure command
217      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
218    
219    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
220      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
221      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
222      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
223      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
224    
225    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
226      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
227      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
228      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
229    
230    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
231    
232    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
233      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
234    
235    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
236      title name prefix.
237    
238    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
239      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
240      generated at configure time.
241    
242    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
243      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
244      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
245      argument have some effect on X11.
246    
247    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
248    
249    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
250      compiled with -no-stl.
251    
252    
253    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
254    
255    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
256      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
257      one, while on qjackctl).
258    
259    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
260      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
261    
262
