4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
 CVS HEAD  
6    
7  - GPL address update.  GIT HEAD
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. (EXPERIMENTAL)
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. (EXPERIMENTAL)
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. (EXPERIMENTAL)
31    
32    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
33      (EXPERIMENTAL)
34    
35    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
36      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
37      instruments of the same file.
38    
39    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
40      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
41    
42    
43    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
44    
45    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
46    
47    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
48    
49    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
50      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
51    
52    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
53    
54    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
55    
56    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
57    
58    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
59      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
60    
61    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
62    
63    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
64    
65    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
66    
67    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
68    
69    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
70      and make.
71    
72    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
73      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
74      Debian 6.
75    
76    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
77      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
78    
79    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
80      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
81      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
82      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
83    
84    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
85    
86    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
87      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
88      wrong main widget hidden state.
89    
90    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
91    
92    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
93      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
94      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
95      targets (--enable-debug).
96    
97    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
98    
99    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
100      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
101      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
102    
103    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
104      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
105    
106    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
107      a menu separator has been added.
108    
109    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
110      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
111    
112    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
113      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
114      lame green solid background :).
115    
116    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
117      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
118    
119    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
120    
121    
122    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
123    
124    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
125      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
126      ever may follow ;)
127    
128    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
129    
130    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
131      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
132      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
133      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
134      a sampler the next time.
135    
136    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
137    
138    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
139    
140    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
141      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
142      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
143      (default none).
144    
145    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
146      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
147      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
148    
149    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
150      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
151      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
152      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
153    
154    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
155      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
156    
157    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
158      screwed.
159    
160    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
161      e.g. by other frontends.
162    
163    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
164      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
165      (fixes segfault on device changes)
166    
167    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
168      "View" main menu.
169    
170    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
171    
172    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
173    
174    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
175      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
176    
177    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
178      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
179    
180    
181    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
182    
183    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
184      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
185      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
186      default.
187    
188    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
189      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
190    
191    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
192      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
193    
194    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
195      creating a new sampler channel.
196    
197    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
198    
199    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
200      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
201      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
202      first time).
203    
204    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
205      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
206    
207    * Added Windows file path support.
208    
209    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
210      under win32.
211    
212    * Qt4 port of the application.
213    
214    
215    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
216    
217    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
218      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
219      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
220      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
221    
222    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
223      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
224      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
225      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
226    
227    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
228      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
229      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
230    
231    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
232    
233    
234    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
235    
236    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
237      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
238      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
239    
240    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
241    
242    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
243      the session state, only at code-level.
244    
245    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
246      existing instrument file name.
247    
248    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
249      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
250      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
251      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
252      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
253      corrected some tooltip text strings.
254    
255    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
256      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
257      window managers.
258    
259    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
260      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
261      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
262      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
263    
264    * GPL address update.
