7
8 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
9
10 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
11 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
12 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
13 targets (--enable-debug).
14
15 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
16
17 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
18 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
19 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
20
21 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
22 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
23
24 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
25 a menu separator has been added.
26
27 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
28 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
29
30 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
31 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
32 lame green solid background :).
33
34 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
35 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
36
37 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
38
39
40 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
41
42 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
43 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
44 ever may follow ;)
45
46 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
47
48 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
49 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
50 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
51 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
52 a sampler the next time.
53
54 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
55
56 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
57
58 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
59 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
60 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
61 (default none).
62
63 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
64 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
65 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
66
67 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
68 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
69 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
70 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
71
72 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
73 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
74
75 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
76 screwed.
77
78 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
79 e.g. by other frontends.
80
81 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
82 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
83 (fixes segfault on device changes)
84
85 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
86 "View" main menu.
87
88 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
89
90 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
91
92 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
93 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
94
95 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
96 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
97
98
99 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
100
101 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
102 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
103 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
104 default.
105
106 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
107 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
108
109 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
110 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
111
112 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
113 creating a new sampler channel.
114
115 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
116
117 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
118 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
119 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
120 first time).
121
122 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
123 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
124
125 * Added Windows file path support.
126
127 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
128 under win32.
129
130 * Qt4 port of the application.
131
132
133 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
134
135 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
136 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
137 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
138 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
139
140 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
141 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
142 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
143 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
144
145 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
146 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
147 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
148
149 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
150
151
152 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
153
154 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
155 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
156 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
157
158 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
159
160 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
161 the session state, only at code-level.
162
163 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
164 existing instrument file name.
165
166 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
167 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
168 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
169 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
170 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
171 corrected some tooltip text strings.
172
173 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
174 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
175 window managers.
176
177 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
178 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
179 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
180 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
181
182 * GPL address update.
183
184
185 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
186
187 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
188 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
189
190 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
191
192 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
193 installation paths have been added to configure command
194 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
195
196 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
197 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
198 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
199 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
200 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
201
202 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
203 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
204 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
205 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
206
207 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
208
209 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
210 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
211
212 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
213 title name prefix.
214
215 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
216 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
217 generated at configure time.
218
219 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
220 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
221 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
222 argument have some effect on X11.
223
224 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
225
226 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
227 compiled with -no-stl.
228
229
230 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
231
232 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
233 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
234 one, while on qjackctl).
235
236 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
237 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
238
239
240 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
241
242 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
243 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
244
245 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
246 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
247 info updates.
248
249 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
250 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
251 device dialog.
252
253 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
254
255 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
256 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
257 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
258 Mayat, for pointing these out).
259
260
261 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
262
263 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
264
265 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
266 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
267 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
268
269 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
270 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
271
272 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
273 an instrument.
274
275 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
276
277
278 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
279
280 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
281 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
282 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
283 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
284
285 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
286 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
287 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
288
289 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
290 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
291
292 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
293
294 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
295 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
296 change information are now also posted to messages window.
297
298 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
299 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
300 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
301 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
302
303 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
304 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
305 sampler instrument file.
306
307 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
308 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
309 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
310 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
311
312 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
313 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
314 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
315
316 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
317 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
318 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
319 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
320
321
322 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
323
324 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
325 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
326 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
327
328 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
329 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
330 following common user-interface guidelines.
331
332 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
333 control structures.
334
335 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
336
337 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
338 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
339 channel (omni mode).
340
341 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
342 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
343
344 * Minor configure fixes.
345
346
347 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
348
349 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
350
351 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
352 and on session file save.
353
354 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
355 on create time.
356
357 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
358
359
360 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
361
362 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
363 over the empty workspace area.
364
365 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
366 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
367 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
368 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
369
370 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
371 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
372
373 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
374 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
375
376 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
377 each sampler channel strip.
378
379 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
380 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
381
382 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
383 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
384
385 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
386 new sampler channel strip.
387
388 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
389 suggested in the following lines:
390
391 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
392 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
393 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
394 LOAD ENGINE ...
395 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
396 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
397
398
399 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
