7
8 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
9 session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
10
11 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
12
13 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
14
15 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
16
17 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
18 configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
19
20 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
21
22 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
23
24 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
25
26 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
27
28 * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
29 and make.
30
31 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
32 as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
33 Debian 6.
34
35 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
36 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
37
38 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
39 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
40 been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
41 instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
42
43 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
44
45 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
46 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
47 wrong main widget hidden state.
48
49 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
50
51 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
52 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
53 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
54 targets (--enable-debug).
55
56 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
57
58 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
59 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
60 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
61
62 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
63 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
64
65 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
66 a menu separator has been added.
67
68 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
69 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
70
71 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
72 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
73 lame green solid background :).
74
75 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
76 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
77
78 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
79
80
81 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
82
83 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
84 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
85 ever may follow ;)
86
87 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
88
89 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
90 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
91 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
92 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
93 a sampler the next time.
94
95 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
96
97 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
98
99 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
100 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
101 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
102 (default none).
103
104 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
105 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
106 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
107
108 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
109 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
110 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
111 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
112
113 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
114 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
115
116 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
117 screwed.
118
119 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
120 e.g. by other frontends.
121
122 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
123 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
124 (fixes segfault on device changes)
125
126 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
127 "View" main menu.
128
129 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
130
131 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
132
133 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
134 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
135
136 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
137 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
138
139
140 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
141
142 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
143 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
144 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
145 default.
146
147 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
148 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
149
150 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
151 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
152
153 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
154 creating a new sampler channel.
155
156 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
157
158 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
159 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
160 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
161 first time).
162
163 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
164 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
165
166 * Added Windows file path support.
167
168 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
169 under win32.
170
171 * Qt4 port of the application.
172
173
174 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
175
176 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
177 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
178 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
179 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
180
181 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
182 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
183 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
184 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
185
186 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
187 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
188 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
189
190 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
191
192
193 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
194
195 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
196 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
197 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
198
199 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
200
201 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
202 the session state, only at code-level.
203
204 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
205 existing instrument file name.
206
207 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
208 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
209 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
210 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
211 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
212 corrected some tooltip text strings.
213
214 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
215 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
216 window managers.
217
218 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
219 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
220 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
221 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
222
223 * GPL address update.
224
225
226 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
227
228 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
229 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
230
231 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
232
233 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
234 installation paths have been added to configure command
235 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
236
237 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
238 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
239 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
240 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
241 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
242
243 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
244 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
245 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
246 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
247
248 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
249
250 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
251 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
252
253 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
254 title name prefix.
255
256 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
257 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
258 generated at configure time.
259
260 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
261 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
262 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
263 argument have some effect on X11.
264
265 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
266
267 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
268 compiled with -no-stl.
269
270
271 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
272
273 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
274 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
275 one, while on qjackctl).
276
277 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
278 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
279
280
281 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
282
283 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
284 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
285
286 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
287 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
288 info updates.
289
290 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
291 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
292 device dialog.
293
294 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
295
296 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
297 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
298 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
299 Mayat, for pointing these out).
300
301
302 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
303
304 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
305
306 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
307 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
308 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
309
310 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
311 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
312
313 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
314 an instrument.
315
316 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
317
318
319 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
320
321 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
322 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
323 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
324 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
325
326 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
327 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
328 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
329
330 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
331 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
332
333 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
334
335 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
336 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
337 change information are now also posted to messages window.
338
339 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
340 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
341 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
342 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
343
344 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
345 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
346 sampler instrument file.
347
348 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
349 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
350 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
351 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
352
353 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
354 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
355 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
356
357 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
358 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
359 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
360 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
361
362
363 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
364
365 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
366 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
367 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
368
369 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
370 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
371 following common user-interface guidelines.
372
373 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
374 control structures.
375
376 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
377
378 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
379 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
380 channel (omni mode).
381
382 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
383 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
384
385 * Minor configure fixes.
386
387
388 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
389
390 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
391
392 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
393 and on session file save.
394
395 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
396 on create time.
397
398 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
399
400
401 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
402
403 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
404 over the empty workspace area.
405
406 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
407 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
408 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
409 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
410
411 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
412 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
413
414 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
415 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
416
417 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
418 each sampler channel strip.
419
420 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
421 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
422
423 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
424 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
425
426 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
427 new sampler channel strip.
428
429 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
430 suggested in the following lines:
431
432 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
433 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
434 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
435 LOAD ENGINE ...
436 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
437 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
438
439
440 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
