7
8 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
9 creating a new sampler channel.
10
11 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
12
13 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
14 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
15 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
16 first time).
17
18 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
19 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
20
21 * Added Windows file path support.
22
23 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
24 under win32.
25
26 * Qt4 port of the application.
27
28
29 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
30
31 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
32 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
33 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
34 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
35
36 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
37 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
38 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
39 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
40
41 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
42 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
43 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
44
45 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
46
47
48 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
49
50 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
51 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
52 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
53
54 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
55
56 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
57 the session state, only at code-level.
58
59 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
60 existing instrument file name.
61
62 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
63 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
64 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
65 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
66 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
67 corrected some tooltip text strings.
68
69 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
70 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
71 window managers.
72
73 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
74 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
75 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
76 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
77
78 * GPL address update.
79
80
81 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
82
83 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
84 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
85
86 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
87
88 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
89 installation paths have been added to configure command
90 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
91
92 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
93 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
94 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
95 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
96 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
97
98 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
99 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
100 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
101 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
102
103 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
104
105 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
106 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
107
108 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
109 title name prefix.
110
111 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
112 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
113 generated at configure time.
114
115 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
116 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
117 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
118 argument have some effect on X11.
119
120 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
121
122 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
123 compiled with -no-stl.
124
125
126 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
127
128 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
129 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
130 one, while on qjackctl).
131
132 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
133 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
134
135
136 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
137
138 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
139 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
140
141 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
142 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
143 info updates.
144
145 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
146 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
147 device dialog.
148
149 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
150
151 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
152 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
153 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
154 Mayat, for pointing these out).
155
156
157 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
158
159 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
160
161 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
162 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
163 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
164
165 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
166 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
167
168 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
169 an instrument.
170
171 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
172
173
174 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
175
176 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
177 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
178 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
179 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
180
181 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
182 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
183 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
184
185 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
186 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
187
188 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
189
190 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
191 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
192 change information are now also posted to messages window.
193
194 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
195 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
196 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
197 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
198
199 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
200 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
201 sampler instrument file.
202
203 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
204 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
205 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
206 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
207
208 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
209 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
210 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
211
212 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
213 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
214 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
215 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
216
217
218 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
219
220 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
221 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
222 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
223
224 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
225 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
226 following common user-interface guidelines.
227
228 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
229 control structures.
230
231 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
232
233 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
234 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
235 channel (omni mode).
236
237 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
238 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
239
240 * Minor configure fixes.
241
242
243 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
244
245 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
246
247 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
248 and on session file save.
249
250 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
251 on create time.
252
253 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
254
255
256 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
257
258 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
259 over the empty workspace area.
260
261 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
262 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
263 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
264 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
265
266 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
267 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
268
269 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
270 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
271
272 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
273 each sampler channel strip.
274
275 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
276 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
277
278 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
279 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
280
281 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
282 new sampler channel strip.
283
284 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
285 suggested in the following lines:
286
287 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
288 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
289 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
290 LOAD ENGINE ...
291 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
292 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
293
294
295 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
