5    
6  CVS HEAD  
7    0.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
8    
9    * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
10    
11    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
12      of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
13    
14    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
15    
16    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
17      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
18    
19    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
20      main toolbar orientation.
21    
22    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
23      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
24    
25    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
26    
27    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
28      debian, thanks).
29    
30    * Translations install directory change.
31    
32    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
33    
34    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
35      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
36      instruments of the same file.
37    
38    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
39      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
40    
41    
42    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
43    
44    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
45    
46    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
47    
48    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
49      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
50    
51    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
52    
53    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
54    
55    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
56    
57    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
58      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
59    
60    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
61    
62    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
63    
64    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
65    
66    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
67    
68    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
69      and make.
70    
71    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
72      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
73      Debian 6.
74    
75    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
76      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
77    
78    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
79      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
80      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
81      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
82    
83    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
84    
85    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
86      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
87      wrong main widget hidden state.
88    
89    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
90    
91    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
92      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
93      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
94      targets (--enable-debug).
95    
96    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
97    
98    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
99      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
100      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
101    
102    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
103      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
104    
105    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
106      a menu separator has been added.
107    
108    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
109      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
110    
111    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
112      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
113      lame green solid background :).
114    
115    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
116      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
117    
118    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
119    
120    
121    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
122    
123    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
124      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
125      ever may follow ;)
126    
127    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
128    
129    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
130      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
131      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
132      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
133      a sampler the next time.
134    
135    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
136    
137    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
138    
139    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
140      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
141      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
142      (default none).
143    
144    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
145      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
146      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
147    
148    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
149      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
150      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
151      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
152    
153    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
154      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
155    
156    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
157      screwed.
158    
159    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
160      e.g. by other frontends.
161    
162    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
163      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
164      (fixes segfault on device changes)
165    
166    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
167      "View" main menu.
168    
169    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
170    
171    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
172    
173    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
174      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
175    
176    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
177      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
178    
179    
180    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
181    
182    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
183      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
184      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
185      default.
186    
187    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
188      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
189    
190    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
191      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
192    
193    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
194      creating a new sampler channel.
195    
196    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
197    
198    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
199      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
200      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
201      first time).
202    
203    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
204      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
205    
206    * Added Windows file path support.
207    
208    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
209      under win32.
210    
211    * Qt4 port of the application.
212    
213    
214    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
215    
216    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
217      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
218      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
219      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
220    
221    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
222      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
223      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
224      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
225    
226    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
227      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
228      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
229    
230    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
231    
232    
233    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
234    
235    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
236      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
237      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
238    
239    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
240    
241    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
242      the session state, only at code-level.
243    
244    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
245      existing instrument file name.
246    
247    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
248      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
249      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
250      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
251      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
252      corrected some tooltip text strings.
253    
254    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
255      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
256      window managers.
257    
258    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
259      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
260      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
261      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
