* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
  does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
  instrument editor application.

5
6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
9 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
10 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
11
12 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
13
14 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
15 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
16 instrument editor application.
17
18
19 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
20
21 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
22 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
23 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
24
25 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
26
27 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
28 the session state, only at code-level.
29
30 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
31 existing instrument file name.
32
33 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
34 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
35 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
36 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
37 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
38 corrected some tooltip text strings.
39
40 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
41 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
42 window managers.
43
44 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
45 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
46 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
47 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
48
49 * GPL address update.
50
51
52 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
53
54 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
55 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
56
57 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
58
59 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
60 installation paths have been added to configure command
61 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
62
63 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
64 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
65 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
66 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
67 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
68
69 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
70 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
71 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
72 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
73
74 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
75
76 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
77 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
78
79 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
80 title name prefix.
81
82 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
83 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
84 generated at configure time.
85
86 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
87 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
88 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
89 argument have some effect on X11.
90
91 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
92
93 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
94 compiled with -no-stl.
95
96
97 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
98
99 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
100 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
101 one, while on qjackctl).
102
103 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
104 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
105
106
107 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
108
109 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
110 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
111
112 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
113 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
114 info updates.
115
116 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
117 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
118 device dialog.
119
120 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
121
122 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
123 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
124 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
125 Mayat, for pointing these out).
126
127
128 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
129
130 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
131
132 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
133 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
134 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
135
136 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
137 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
138
139 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
140 an instrument.
141
142 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
143
144
145 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
146
147 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
148 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
149 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
150 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
151
152 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
153 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
154 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
155
156 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
157 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
158
159 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
160
161 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
162 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
163 change information are now also posted to messages window.
164
165 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
166 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
167 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
168 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
169
170 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
171 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
172 sampler instrument file.
173
174 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
175 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
176 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
177 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
178
179 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
180 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
181 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
182
183 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
184 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
185 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
186 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
187
188
189 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
190
191 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
192 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
193 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
194
195 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
196 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
197 following common user-interface guidelines.
198
199 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
200 control structures.
201
202 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
203
204 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
205 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
206 channel (omni mode).
207
208 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
209 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
210
211 * Minor configure fixes.
212
213
214 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
215
216 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
217
218 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
219 and on session file save.
220
221 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
222 on create time.
223
224 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
225
226
227 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
228
229 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
230 over the empty workspace area.
231
232 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
233 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
234 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
235 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
236
237 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
238 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
239
240 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
241 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
242
243 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
244 each sampler channel strip.
245
246 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
247 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
248
249 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
250 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
251
252 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
253 new sampler channel strip.
254
255 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
256 suggested in the following lines:
257
258 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
259 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
260 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
261 LOAD ENGINE ...
262 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
263 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
264
265
266 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
