* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
  form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
  users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
  first time).
* Replaced Debian packaging dependency from libqt3-mt-dev to
  libqr4-dev.

8 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
9 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
10 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
11 first time).
12
13 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
14 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
15
16 * Added Windows file path support.
17
18 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
19 under win32.
20
21 * Qt4 port of the application.
22
23
24 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
25
26 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
27 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
28 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
29 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
30
31 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
32 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
33 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
34 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
35
36 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
37 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
38 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
39
40 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
41
42
43 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
44
45 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
46 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
47 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
48
49 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
50
51 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
52 the session state, only at code-level.
53
54 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
55 existing instrument file name.
56
57 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
58 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
59 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
60 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
61 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
62 corrected some tooltip text strings.
63
64 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
65 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
66 window managers.
67
68 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
69 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
70 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
71 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
72
73 * GPL address update.
74
75
76 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
77
78 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
79 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
80
81 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
82
83 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
84 installation paths have been added to configure command
85 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
86
87 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
88 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
89 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
90 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
91 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
92
93 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
94 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
95 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
96 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
97
98 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
99
100 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
101 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
102
103 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
104 title name prefix.
105
106 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
107 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
108 generated at configure time.
109
110 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
111 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
112 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
113 argument have some effect on X11.
114
115 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
116
117 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
118 compiled with -no-stl.
119
120
121 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
122
123 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
124 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
125 one, while on qjackctl).
126
127 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
128 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
129
130
131 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
132
133 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
134 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
135
136 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
137 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
138 info updates.
139
140 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
141 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
142 device dialog.
143
144 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
145
146 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
147 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
148 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
149 Mayat, for pointing these out).
150
151
152 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
153
154 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
155
156 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
157 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
158 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
159
160 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
161 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
162
163 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
164 an instrument.
165
166 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
167
168
169 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
170
171 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
172 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
173 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
174 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
175
176 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
177 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
178 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
179
180 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
181 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
182
183 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
184
185 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
186 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
187 change information are now also posted to messages window.
188
189 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
190 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
191 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
192 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
193
194 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
195 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
196 sampler instrument file.
197
198 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
199 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
200 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
201 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
202
203 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
204 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
205 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
206
207 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
208 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
209 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
210 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
211
212
213 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
214
215 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
216 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
217 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
218
219 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
220 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
221 following common user-interface guidelines.
222
223 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
224 control structures.
225
226 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
227
228 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
229 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
230 channel (omni mode).
231
232 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
233 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
234
235 * Minor configure fixes.
236
237
238 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
239
240 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
241
242 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
243 and on session file save.
244
245 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
246 on create time.
247
248 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
249
250
251 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
252
253 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
254 over the empty workspace area.
255
256 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
257 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
258 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
259 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
260
261 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
262 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
263
264 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
265 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
266
267 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
268 each sampler channel strip.
269
270 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
271 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
272
273 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
274 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
275
276 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
277 new sampler channel strip.
278
279 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
280 suggested in the following lines:
281
282 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
283 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
284 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
285 LOAD ENGINE ...
286 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
287 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
288
289
290 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
