7
8 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
9 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
10
11 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
12 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
13
14 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
15 creating a new sampler channel.
16
17 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
18
19 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
20 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
21 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
22 first time).
23
24 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
25 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
26
27 * Added Windows file path support.
28
29 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
30 under win32.
31
32 * Qt4 port of the application.
33
34
35 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
36
37 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
38 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
39 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
40 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
41
42 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
43 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
44 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
45 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
46
47 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
48 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
49 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
50
51 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
52
53
54 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
55
56 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
57 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
58 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
59
60 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
61
62 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
63 the session state, only at code-level.
64
65 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
66 existing instrument file name.
67
68 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
69 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
70 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
71 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
72 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
73 corrected some tooltip text strings.
74
75 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
76 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
77 window managers.
78
79 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
80 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
81 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
82 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
83
84 * GPL address update.
85
86
87 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
88
89 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
90 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
91
92 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
93
94 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
95 installation paths have been added to configure command
96 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
97
98 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
99 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
100 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
101 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
102 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
103
104 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
105 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
106 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
107 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
108
109 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
110
111 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
112 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
113
114 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
115 title name prefix.
116
117 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
118 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
119 generated at configure time.
120
121 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
122 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
123 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
124 argument have some effect on X11.
125
126 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
127
128 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
129 compiled with -no-stl.
130
131
132 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
133
134 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
135 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
136 one, while on qjackctl).
137
138 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
139 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
140
141
142 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
143
144 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
145 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
146
147 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
148 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
149 info updates.
150
151 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
152 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
153 device dialog.
154
155 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
156
157 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
158 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
159 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
160 Mayat, for pointing these out).
161
162
163 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
164
165 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
166
167 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
168 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
169 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
170
171 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
172 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
173
174 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
175 an instrument.
176
177 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
178
179
180 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
181
182 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
183 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
184 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
185 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
186
187 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
188 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
189 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
190
191 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
192 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
193
194 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
195
196 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
197 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
198 change information are now also posted to messages window.
199
200 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
201 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
202 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
203 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
204
205 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
206 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
207 sampler instrument file.
208
209 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
210 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
211 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
212 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
213
214 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
215 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
216 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
217
218 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
219 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
220 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
221 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
222
223
224 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
225
226 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
227 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
228 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
229
230 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
231 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
232 following common user-interface guidelines.
233
234 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
235 control structures.
236
237 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
238
239 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
240 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
241 channel (omni mode).
242
243 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
244 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
245
246 * Minor configure fixes.
247
248
249 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
250
251 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
252
253 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
254 and on session file save.
255
256 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
257 on create time.
258
259 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
260
261
262 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
263
264 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
265 over the empty workspace area.
266
267 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
268 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
269 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
270 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
271
272 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
273 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
274
275 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
276 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
277
278 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
279 each sampler channel strip.
280
281 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
282 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
283
284 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
285 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
286
287 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
288 new sampler channel strip.
289
290 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
291 suggested in the following lines:
292
293 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
294 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
295 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
296 LOAD ENGINE ...
297 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
298 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
299
