6  CVS HEAD  
7    GIT HEAD
8    
9    * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
10      sub-routine is now in effect. (EXPERIMENTAL)
11    
12    * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
13    
14    
15    0.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
16    
17    * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
18    
19    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
20      of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
21    
22    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
23    
24    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
25      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
26    
27    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
28      main toolbar orientation.
29    
30    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
31      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
32    
33    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
34    
35    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
36      debian, thanks).
37    
38    * Translations install directory change.
39    
40    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
41    
42    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
43      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
44      instruments of the same file.
45    
46    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
47      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
48    
49    
50    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
51    
52    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
53    
54    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
55    
56    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
57      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
58    
59    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
60    
61    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
62    
63    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
64    
65    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
66      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
67    
68    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
69    
70    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
71    
72    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
73    
74    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
75    
76    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
77      and make.
78    
79    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
80      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
81      Debian 6.
82    
83    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
84      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
85    
86    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
87      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
88      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
89      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
90    
91    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
92    
93    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
94      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
95      wrong main widget hidden state.
96    
97    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
98    
99    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
100      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
101      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
102      targets (--enable-debug).
103    
104    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
105    
106    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
107      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
108      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
109    
110    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
111      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
112    
113    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
114      a menu separator has been added.
115    
116    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
117      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
118    
119    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
120      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
121      lame green solid background :).
122    
123    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
124      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
125    
126    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
127    
128    
129    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
130    
131    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
132      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
133      ever may follow ;)
134    
135    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
136    
137    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
138      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
139      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
140      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
141      a sampler the next time.
142    
143    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
144    
145    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
146    
147    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
148      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
149      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
150      (default none).
151    
152    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
153      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
154      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
155    
156    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
157      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
158      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
159      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
160    
161    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
162      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
163    
164    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
165      screwed.
166    
167    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
168      e.g. by other frontends.
169    
170    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
171      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
172      (fixes segfault on device changes)
173    
174    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
175      "View" main menu.
176    
177    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
178    
179    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
180    
181    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
182      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
183    
184    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
185      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
186    
187    
188    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
189    
190    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
191      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
192      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
193      default.
194    
195    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
196      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
197    
198    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
199      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
200    
201    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
202      creating a new sampler channel.
203    
204    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
205    
206    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
207      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
208      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
209      first time).
210    
211    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
212      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
213    
214    * Added Windows file path support.
215    
216    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
217      under win32.
218    
219    * Qt4 port of the application.
220    
221    
222    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
223    
224    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
225      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
226      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
227      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
228    
229    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
230      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
231      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
232      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
233    
234    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
235      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
236      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
237    
238    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
239    
240    
241    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
242    
243    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
244      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
245      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
246    
247    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
248    
249    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
250      the session state, only at code-level.
251    
252    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
253      existing instrument file name.
254    
255    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
256      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
257      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
258      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
259      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
260      corrected some tooltip text strings.
261    
262    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
263      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
264      window managers.
265    
266    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
267      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
268      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
269      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
270    
271    * GPL address update.
272
