* Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
  now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
  (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.

8 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
9 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
10 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
11
12 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
13 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
14
15 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
16 a menu separator has been added.
17
18 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
19 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
20
21 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
22 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
23 lame green solid background :).
24
25 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
26 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
27
28 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
29
30
31 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
32
33 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
34 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
35 ever may follow ;)
36
37 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
38
39 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
40 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
41 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
42 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
43 a sampler the next time.
44
45 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
46
47 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
48
49 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
50 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
51 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
52 (default none).
53
54 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
55 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
56 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
57
58 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
59 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
60 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
61 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
62
63 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
64 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
65
66 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
67 screwed.
68
69 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
70 e.g. by other frontends.
71
72 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
73 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
74 (fixes segfault on device changes)
75
76 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
77 "View" main menu.
78
79 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
80
81 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
82
83 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
84 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
85
86 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
87 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
88
89
90 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
91
92 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
93 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
94 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
95 default.
96
97 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
98 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
99
100 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
101 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
102
103 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
104 creating a new sampler channel.
105
106 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
107
108 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
109 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
110 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
111 first time).
112
113 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
114 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
115
116 * Added Windows file path support.
117
118 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
119 under win32.
120
121 * Qt4 port of the application.
122
123
124 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
125
126 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
127 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
128 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
129 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
130
131 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
132 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
133 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
134 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
135
136 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
137 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
138 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
139
140 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
141
142
143 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
144
145 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
146 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
147 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
148
149 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
150
151 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
152 the session state, only at code-level.
153
154 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
155 existing instrument file name.
156
157 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
158 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
159 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
160 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
161 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
162 corrected some tooltip text strings.
163
164 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
165 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
166 window managers.
167
168 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
169 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
170 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
171 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
172
173 * GPL address update.
174
175
176 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
177
178 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
179 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
180
181 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
182
183 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
184 installation paths have been added to configure command
185 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
186
187 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
188 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
189 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
190 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
191 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
192
193 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
194 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
195 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
196 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
197
198 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
199
200 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
201 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
202
203 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
204 title name prefix.
205
206 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
207 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
208 generated at configure time.
209
210 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
211 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
212 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
213 argument have some effect on X11.
214
215 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
216
217 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
218 compiled with -no-stl.
219
220
221 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
222
223 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
224 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
225 one, while on qjackctl).
226
227 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
228 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
229
230
231 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
232
233 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
234 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
235
236 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
237 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
238 info updates.
239
240 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
241 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
242 device dialog.
243
244 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
245
246 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
247 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
248 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
249 Mayat, for pointing these out).
250
251
252 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
253
254 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
255
256 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
257 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
258 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
259
260 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
261 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
262
263 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
264 an instrument.
265
266 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
267
268
269 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
270
271 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
272 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
273 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
274 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
275
276 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
277 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
278 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
279
280 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
281 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
282
283 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
284
285 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
286 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
287 change information are now also posted to messages window.
288
289 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
290 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
291 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
292 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
293
294 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
295 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
296 sampler instrument file.
297
298 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
299 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
300 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
301 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
302
303 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
304 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
305 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
306
307 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
308 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
309 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
310 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
311
312
313 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
314
315 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
316 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
317 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
318
319 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
320 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
321 following common user-interface guidelines.
322
323 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
324 control structures.
325
326 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
327
328 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
329 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
330 channel (omni mode).
331
332 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
333 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
334
335 * Minor configure fixes.
336
337
338 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
339
340 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
341
342 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
343 and on session file save.
344
345 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
346 on create time.
347
348 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
349
350
351 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
352
353 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
354 over the empty workspace area.
355
356 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
357 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
358 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
359 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
360
361 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
362 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
363
364 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
365 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
366
367 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
368 each sampler channel strip.
369
370 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
371 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
372
373 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
374 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
375
376 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
377 new sampler channel strip.
378
379 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
380 suggested in the following lines:
381
382 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
383 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
384 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
385 LOAD ENGINE ...
386 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
387 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
388
389
390 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
