146    
147    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
148      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
149    
150    
151    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
152

176    
177    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
178      and make.
179    
180    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
181      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
182      Debian 6.
183    
184    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
185      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
186    
187    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
188      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
189      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
190      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
191    
192    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
193    
194    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
195      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
196      wrong main widget hidden state.
197    
198    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
199    
200    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
201      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
202      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
203      targets (--enable-debug).
204    
205    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
206    
207    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
208      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
209      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
210    
211    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
212      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
213    
214    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
215      a menu separator has been added.
216    
217    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
218      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
219    
220    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
221      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
222      lame green solid background :).

224    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
225      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
226    
227    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
228    
229    
230    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
231    
232    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
233      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
234      ever may follow ;)
235    
236    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
237    
238    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
239      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
240      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
241      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
242      a sampler the next time.
243    
244    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
245    
246    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
247    
248    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
249      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
250      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
251      (default none).
252    
253    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
254      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
255      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
256    
257    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
258      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
259      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
260      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
261    
262    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
263      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
264    
265    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
266      screwed.
267    
268    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
269      e.g. by other frontends.
270    
271    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
272      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
273      (fixes segfault on device changes)
274    
275    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
276      "View" main menu.
277    
278    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
279    
280    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
281    
282    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
283      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
284    
285    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
286      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
287    
288    
289    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
290    
291    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
292      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
293      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
294      default.
295    
296    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
297      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
298    
299    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
300      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
301    
302    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
303      creating a new sampler channel.
304    
305    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
306    
307    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
308      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
309      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
310      first time).
311    
312    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
313      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
314    
315    * Added Windows file path support.
316    
317    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
318      under win32.
319    
320    * Qt4 port of the application.
321    
322    
323    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
324    
325    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
326      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
327      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
328      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
329    
330    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
331      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
332      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
333      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
334    
335    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
336      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
337      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
338    
339    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
340    
341    
342    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
343    
344    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
345      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
346      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
347    
348    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
349    
350    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
351      the session state, only at code-level.
352    
353    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
354      existing instrument file name.
355    
356    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
357      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
358      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
359      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
360      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
361      corrected some tooltip text strings.
362    
363    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
364      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
365      window managers.
366    
367    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
368      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
369      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
370      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
371    
372    * GPL address update.
