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

4 ChangeLog
5
6 SVN TRUNK
7
8 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
9
10 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
11 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
12 wrong main widget hidden state.
13
14 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
15
16 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
17 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
18 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
19 targets (--enable-debug).
20
21 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
22
23 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
24 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
25 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
26
27 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
28 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
29
30 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
31 a menu separator has been added.
32
33 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
34 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
35
36 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
37 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
38 lame green solid background :).
39
40 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
41 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
42
43 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
44
45
46 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
47
48 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
49 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
50 ever may follow ;)
51
52 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
53
54 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
55 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
56 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
57 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
58 a sampler the next time.
59
60 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
61
62 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
63
64 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
65 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
66 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
67 (default none).
68
69 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
70 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
71 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
72
73 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
74 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
75 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
76 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
77
78 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
79 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
80
81 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
82 screwed.
83
84 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
85 e.g. by other frontends.
86
87 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
88 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
89 (fixes segfault on device changes)
90
91 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
92 "View" main menu.
93
94 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
95
96 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
97
98 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
99 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
100
101 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
102 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
103
104
105 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
106
107 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
108 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
109 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
110 default.
111
112 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
113 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
114
115 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
116 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
117
118 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
119 creating a new sampler channel.
120
121 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
122
123 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
124 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
125 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
126 first time).
127
128 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
129 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
130
131 * Added Windows file path support.
132
133 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
134 under win32.
135
136 * Qt4 port of the application.
137
138
139 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
140
141 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
142 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
143 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
144 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
145
146 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
147 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
148 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
149 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
150
151 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
152 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
153 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
154
155 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
156
157
158 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
159
160 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
161 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
162 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
163
164 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
165
166 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
167 the session state, only at code-level.
168
169 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
170 existing instrument file name.
171
172 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
173 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
174 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
175 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
176 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
177 corrected some tooltip text strings.
178
179 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
180 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
181 window managers.
182
183 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
184 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
185 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
186 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
187
188 * GPL address update.
189
190
191 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
192
193 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
194 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
195
196 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
197
198 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
199 installation paths have been added to configure command
200 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
201
202 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
203 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
204 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
205 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
206 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
207
208 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
209 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
210 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
211 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
212
213 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
214
215 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
216 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
217
218 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
219 title name prefix.
220
221 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
222 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
223 generated at configure time.
224
225 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
226 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
227 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
228 argument have some effect on X11.
229
230 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
231
232 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
233 compiled with -no-stl.
234
235
236 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
237
238 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
239 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
240 one, while on qjackctl).
241
242 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
243 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
244
245
246 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
247
248 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
249 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
250
251 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
252 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
253 info updates.
254
255 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
256 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
257 device dialog.
258
259 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
260
261 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
262 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
263 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
264 Mayat, for pointing these out).
265
266
267 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
268
269 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
270
271 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
272 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
273 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
274
275 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
276 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
277
278 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
279 an instrument.
280
281 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
282
283
284 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
285
286 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
287 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
288 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
289 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
290
291 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
292 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
293 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
294
295 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
296 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
297
298 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
299
300 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
301 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
302 change information are now also posted to messages window.
303
304 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
305 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
306 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
307 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
308
309 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
310 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
311 sampler instrument file.
312
313 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
314 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
315 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
316 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
317
318 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
319 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
320 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
321
322 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
323 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
324 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
325 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
326
327
328 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
329
330 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
331 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
332 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
333
334 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
335 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
336 following common user-interface guidelines.
337
338 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
339 control structures.
340
341 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
342
343 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
344 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
345 channel (omni mode).
346
347 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
348 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
349
350 * Minor configure fixes.
351
352
353 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
354
355 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
356
357 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
358 and on session file save.
359
360 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
361 on create time.
362
363 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
364
365
366 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
367
368 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
369 over the empty workspace area.
370
371 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
372 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
373 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
374 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
375
376 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
377 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
378
379 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
380 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
381
382 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
383 each sampler channel strip.
384
385 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
386 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
387
388 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
389 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
390
391 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
392 new sampler channel strip.
393
394 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
395 suggested in the following lines:
396
397 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
398 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
399 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
400 LOAD ENGINE ...
401 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
402 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
403
404
405 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
