4 ChangeLog
5
6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
9 screwed.
10
11 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
12 other frontends.
13
14 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
15 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
16 (fixes segfault on device changes)
17
18 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
19 main menu.
20
21 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
22
23 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
24
25 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
26 particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
27
28 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
29 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
30
31
32 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
33
34 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
35 very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
36 name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
37
38 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
39 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
40
41 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
42 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
43
44 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
45 creating a new sampler channel.
46
47 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
48
49 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
50 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
51 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
52 first time).
53
54 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
55 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
56
57 * Added Windows file path support.
58
59 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
60 under win32.
61
62 * Qt4 port of the application.
63
64
65 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
66
67 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
68 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
69 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
70 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
71
72 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
73 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
74 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
75 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
76
77 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
78 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
79 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
80
81 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
82
83
84 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
85
86 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
87 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
88 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
89
90 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
91
92 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
93 the session state, only at code-level.
94
95 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
96 existing instrument file name.
97
98 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
99 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
100 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
101 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
102 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
103 corrected some tooltip text strings.
104
105 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
106 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
107 window managers.
108
109 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
110 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
111 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
112 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
113
114 * GPL address update.
115
116
117 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
118
119 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
120 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
121
122 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
123
124 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
125 installation paths have been added to configure command
126 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
127
128 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
129 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
130 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
131 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
132 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
133
134 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
135 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
136 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
137 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
138
139 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
140
141 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
142 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
143
144 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
145 title name prefix.
146
147 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
148 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
149 generated at configure time.
150
151 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
152 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
153 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
154 argument have some effect on X11.
155
156 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
157
158 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
159 compiled with -no-stl.
160
161
162 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
163
164 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
165 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
166 one, while on qjackctl).
167
168 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
169 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
170
171
172 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
173
174 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
175 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
176
177 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
178 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
179 info updates.
180
181 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
182 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
183 device dialog.
184
185 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
186
187 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
188 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
189 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
190 Mayat, for pointing these out).
191
192
193 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
194
195 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
196
197 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
198 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
199 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
200
201 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
202 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
203
204 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
205 an instrument.
206
207 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
208
209
210 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
211
212 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
213 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
214 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
215 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
216
217 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
218 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
219 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
220
221 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
222 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
223
224 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
225
226 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
227 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
228 change information are now also posted to messages window.
229
230 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
231 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
232 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
233 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
234
235 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
236 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
237 sampler instrument file.
238
239 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
240 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
241 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
242 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
243
244 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
245 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
246 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
247
248 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
249 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
250 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
251 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
252
253
254 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
255
256 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
257 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
258 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
259
260 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
261 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
262 following common user-interface guidelines.
263
264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
265 control structures.
266
267 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
268
269 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
270 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
271 channel (omni mode).
272
273 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
274 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
275
276 * Minor configure fixes.
277
278
279 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
280
281 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
282
283 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
284 and on session file save.
285
286 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
287 on create time.
288
289 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
290
291
292 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
293
294 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
295 over the empty workspace area.
296
297 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
298 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
299 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
300 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
301
302 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
303 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
304
305 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
306 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
307
308 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
309 each sampler channel strip.
310
311 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
312 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
313
314 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
315 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
316
317 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
318 new sampler channel strip.
319
320 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
321 suggested in the following lines:
322
323 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
324 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
325 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
326 LOAD ENGINE ...
327 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
328 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
329
330
331 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
