1 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 ------------------------------------------

4 ChangeLog
5
6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
9 main menu.
10
11 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
12
13 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
14
15 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
16 particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
17
18 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
19 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
20
21
22 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
23
24 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
25 very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
26 name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
27
28 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
29 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
30
31 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
32 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
33
34 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
35 creating a new sampler channel.
36
37 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
38
39 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
40 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
41 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
42 first time).
43
44 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
45 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
46
47 * Added Windows file path support.
48
49 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
50 under win32.
51
52 * Qt4 port of the application.
53
54
55 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
56
57 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
58 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
59 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
60 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
61
62 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
63 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
64 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
65 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
66
67 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
68 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
69 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
70
71 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
72
73
74 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
75
76 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
77 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
78 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
79
80 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
81
82 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
83 the session state, only at code-level.
84
85 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
86 existing instrument file name.
87
88 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
89 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
90 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
91 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
92 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
93 corrected some tooltip text strings.
94
95 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
96 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
97 window managers.
98
99 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
100 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
101 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
102 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
103
104 * GPL address update.
105
106
107 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
108
109 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
110 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
111
112 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
113
114 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
115 installation paths have been added to configure command
116 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
117
118 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
119 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
120 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
121 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
122 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
123
124 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
125 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
126 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
127 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
128
129 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
130
131 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
132 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
133
134 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
135 title name prefix.
136
137 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
138 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
139 generated at configure time.
140
141 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
142 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
143 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
144 argument have some effect on X11.
145
146 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
147
148 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
149 compiled with -no-stl.
150
151
152 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
153
154 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
155 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
156 one, while on qjackctl).
157
158 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
159 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
160
161
162 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
163
164 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
165 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
166
167 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
168 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
169 info updates.
170
171 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
172 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
173 device dialog.
174
175 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
176
177 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
178 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
179 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
180 Mayat, for pointing these out).
181
182
183 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
184
185 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
186
187 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
188 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
189 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
190
191 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
192 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
193
194 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
195 an instrument.
196
197 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
198
199
200 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
201
202 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
203 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
204 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
205 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
206
207 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
208 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
209 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
210
211 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
212 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
213
214 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
215
216 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
217 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
218 change information are now also posted to messages window.
219
220 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
221 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
222 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
223 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
224
225 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
226 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
227 sampler instrument file.
228
229 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
230 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
231 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
232 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
233
234 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
235 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
236 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
237
238 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
239 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
240 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
241 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
242
243
244 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
245
246 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
247 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
248 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
249
250 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
251 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
252 following common user-interface guidelines.
253
254 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
255 control structures.
256
257 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
258
259 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
260 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
261 channel (omni mode).
262
263 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
264 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
265
266 * Minor configure fixes.
267
268
269 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
270
271 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
272
273 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
274 and on session file save.
275
276 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
277 on create time.
278
279 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
280
281
282 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
283
284 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
285 over the empty workspace area.
286
287 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
288 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
289 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
290 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
291
292 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
293 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
294
295 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
296 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
297
298 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
299 each sampler channel strip.
300
301 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
302 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
303
304 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
305 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
306
307 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
308 new sampler channel strip.
309
310 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
311 suggested in the following lines:
312
313 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
314 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
315 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
316 LOAD ENGINE ...
317 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
318 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
319
320
321 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
