8    
9    - Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
10      line options, wrt. installation directories specification,
11      eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.
12      (EXPERIMENTAL)
13    
14    
15    0.4.1  2016-09-14  End of Summer'16 release.
16    
17    * Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended
18      in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
19      
20    * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
21      given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
22      Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
23    
24    * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
25      auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
26    
27    
28    0.4.0  2016-04-05  Spring'16 release frenzy.
29    
30    * Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
31    
32    * Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
33    
34    * Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now
35      in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.
36    
37    * Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.
38    
39    
40    0.3.1  2015-07-19  Summer'15 release frenzy.
41    
42    * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
43      64bit Linux flavours.
44    
45    * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
46    
47    * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
48      sub-routine is now in effect. (EXPERIMENTAL)
49    
50    * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
51    
52    
53    0.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
54    
55    * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
56    
57    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
58      of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
59    
60    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
61    
62    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
63      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
64    
65    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
66      main toolbar orientation.
67    
68    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
69      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
70    
71    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
72    
73    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
74      debian, thanks).
75    
76    * Translations install directory change.
77    
78    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
79    
80    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
81      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
82      instruments of the same file.
83    
84    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
85      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
86    
87    
88    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
89    
90    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
91    
92    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
93

96    
97    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
98    
99    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
100    
101    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
102    
103    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
104      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
105    
106    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
107    
108    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
109    
110    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
111    
112    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
113    
114    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
115      and make.
116    
117    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
118      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
119      Debian 6.
120    
121    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
122      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
123    
124    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
125      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
126      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
127      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
128    
129    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
130    
131    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
132      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
133      wrong main widget hidden state.
134    
135    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
136    
137    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
138      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
139      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
140      targets (--enable-debug).
141    
142    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
143    
144    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
145      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
146      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
147    
148    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
149      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
150    
151    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
152      a menu separator has been added.
153    
154    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
155      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
156    
157    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
158      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
159      lame green solid background :).
160    
161    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
162      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
163    
164    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
165    
166    
167    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
168    
169    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
170      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
171      ever may follow ;)
172    
173    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
174    
175    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
176      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
177      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
178      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
179      a sampler the next time.
180    
181    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
182    
183    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
184    
185    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
186      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
187      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
188      (default none).
189    
190    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
191      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
192      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
193    
194    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
195      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
196      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
197      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
198    
199    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
200      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
201    
202    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
203      screwed.
204    
205    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
206      e.g. by other frontends.
207    
208    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
209      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
210      (fixes segfault on device changes)
211    
212    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
213      "View" main menu.
214    
215    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
216    
217    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
218    
219    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
220      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
221    
222    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
223      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
224    
225    
226    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
227    
228    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
229      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
230      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
231      default.
232    
233    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
234      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
235    
236    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
237      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
238    
239    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
240      creating a new sampler channel.
241    
242    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
243    
244    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
245      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
246      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
247      first time).
248    
249    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
250      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
251    
252    * Added Windows file path support.
253    
254    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
255      under win32.
256    
257    * Qt4 port of the application.
258    
259    
260    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
261    
262    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
263      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
264      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
265      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
266    
267    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
268      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
269      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
270      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
271    
272    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
273      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
274      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
275    
276    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
277    
278    
279    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
280    
281    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
282      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
283      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
284    
285    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
286    
287    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
288      the session state, only at code-level.
289    
290    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
291      existing instrument file name.
