8 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
9 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
10
11 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
12 a menu separator has been added.
13
14 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
15 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
16
17 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
18 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
19 lame green solid background :).
20
21 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
22 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
23
24 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
25
26
27 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
28
29 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
30 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
31 ever may follow ;)
32
33 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
34
35 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
36 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
37 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
38 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
39 a sampler the next time.
40
41 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
42
43 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
44
45 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
46 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
47 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
48 (default none).
49
50 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
51 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
52 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
53
54 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
55 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
56 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
57 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
58
59 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
60 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
61
62 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
63 screwed.
64
65 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
66 e.g. by other frontends.
67
68 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
69 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
70 (fixes segfault on device changes)
71
72 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
73 "View" main menu.
74
75 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
76
77 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
78
79 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
80 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
81
82 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
83 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
84
85
86 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
87
88 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
89 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
90 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
91 default.
92
93 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
94 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
95
96 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
97 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
98
99 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
100 creating a new sampler channel.
101
102 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
103
104 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
105 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
106 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
107 first time).
108
109 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
110 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
111
112 * Added Windows file path support.
113
114 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
115 under win32.
116
117 * Qt4 port of the application.
118
119
120 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
121
122 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
123 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
124 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
125 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
126
127 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
128 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
129 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
130 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
131
132 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
133 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
134 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
135
136 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
137
138
139 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
140
141 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
142 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
143 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
144
145 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
146
147 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
148 the session state, only at code-level.
149
150 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
151 existing instrument file name.
152
153 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
154 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
155 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
156 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
157 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
158 corrected some tooltip text strings.
159
160 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
161 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
162 window managers.
163
164 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
165 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
166 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
167 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
168
169 * GPL address update.
170
171
172 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
173
174 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
175 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
176
177 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
178
179 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
180 installation paths have been added to configure command
181 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
182
183 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
184 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
185 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
186 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
187 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
188
189 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
190 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
191 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
192 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
193
194 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
195
196 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
197 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
198
199 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
200 title name prefix.
201
202 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
203 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
204 generated at configure time.
205
206 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
207 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
208 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
209 argument have some effect on X11.
210
211 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
212
213 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
214 compiled with -no-stl.
215
216
217 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
218
219 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
220 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
221 one, while on qjackctl).
222
223 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
224 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
225
226
227 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
228
229 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
230 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
231
232 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
233 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
234 info updates.
235
236 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
237 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
238 device dialog.
239
240 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
241
242 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
243 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
244 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
245 Mayat, for pointing these out).
246
247
248 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
249
250 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
251
252 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
253 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
254 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
255
256 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
257 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
258
259 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
260 an instrument.
261
262 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
263
264
265 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
266
267 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
268 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
269 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
270 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
271
272 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
273 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
274 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
275
276 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
277 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
278
279 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
280
281 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
282 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
283 change information are now also posted to messages window.
284
285 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
286 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
287 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
288 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
289
290 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
291 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
292 sampler instrument file.
293
294 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
295 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
296 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
297 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
298
299 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
300 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
301 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
302
303 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
304 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
305 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
306 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
307
308
309 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
310
311 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
312 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
313 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
314
315 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
316 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
317 following common user-interface guidelines.
318
319 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
320 control structures.
321
322 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
323
324 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
325 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
326 channel (omni mode).
327
328 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
329 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
330
331 * Minor configure fixes.
332
333
334 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
335
336 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
337
338 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
339 and on session file save.
340
341 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
342 on create time.
343
344 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
345
346
347 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
348
349 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
350 over the empty workspace area.
351
352 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
353 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
354 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
355 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
356
357 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
358 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
359
360 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
361 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
362
363 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
364 each sampler channel strip.
365
366 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
367 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
368
369 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
370 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
371
372 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
373 new sampler channel strip.
374
375 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
376 suggested in the following lines:
377
378 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
379 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
380 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
381 LOAD ENGINE ...
382 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
383 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
384
385
386 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
