6 SVN TRUNK
7
8 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
9 (EXPERIMENTAL)
10
11
12 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
13
14 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
15
16 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
17
18 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
19 session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
20
21 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
22
23 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
24
25 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
26
27 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
28 configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
29
30 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
31
32 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
33
34 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
35
36 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
37
38 * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
39 and make.
40
41 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
42 as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
43 Debian 6.
44
45 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
46 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
47
48 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
49 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
50 been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
51 instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
52
53 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
54
55 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
56 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
57 wrong main widget hidden state.
58
59 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
60
61 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
62 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
63 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
64 targets (--enable-debug).
65
66 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
67
68 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
69 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
70 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
71
72 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
73 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
74
75 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
76 a menu separator has been added.
77
78 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
79 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
80
81 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
82 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
83 lame green solid background :).
84
85 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
86 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
87
88 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
89
90
91 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
92
93 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
94 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
95 ever may follow ;)
96
97 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
98
99 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
100 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
101 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
102 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
103 a sampler the next time.
104
105 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
106
107 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
108
109 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
110 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
111 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
112 (default none).
113
114 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
115 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
116 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
117
118 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
119 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
120 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
121 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
122
123 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
124 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
125
126 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
127 screwed.
128
129 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
130 e.g. by other frontends.
131
132 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
133 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
134 (fixes segfault on device changes)
135
136 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
137 "View" main menu.
138
139 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
140
141 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
142
143 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
144 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
145
146 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
147 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
148
149
150 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
151
152 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
153 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
154 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
155 default.
156
157 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
158 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
159
160 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
161 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
162
163 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
164 creating a new sampler channel.
165
166 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
167
168 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
169 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
170 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
171 first time).
172
173 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
174 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
175
176 * Added Windows file path support.
177
178 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
179 under win32.
180
181 * Qt4 port of the application.
182
183
184 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
185
186 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
187 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
188 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
189 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
190
191 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
192 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
193 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
194 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
195
196 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
197 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
198 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
199
200 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
201
202
203 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
204
205 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
206 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
207 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
208
209 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
210
211 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
212 the session state, only at code-level.
213
214 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
215 existing instrument file name.
216
217 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
218 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
219 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
220 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
221 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
222 corrected some tooltip text strings.
223
224 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
225 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
226 window managers.
227
228 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
229 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
230 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
231 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
232
233 * GPL address update.
234
235
236 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
237
238 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
239 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
240
241 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
242
243 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
244 installation paths have been added to configure command
245 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
246
247 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
248 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
249 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
250 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
251 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
252
253 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
254 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
255 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
256 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
257
258 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
259
260 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
261 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
262
263 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
264 title name prefix.
265
266 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
267 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
268 generated at configure time.
269
270 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
271 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
272 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
273 argument have some effect on X11.
274
275 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
276
277 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
278 compiled with -no-stl.
279
280
281 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
282
283 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
284 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
285 one, while on qjackctl).
286
287 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
288 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
289
290
291 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
292
293 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
294 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
295
296 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
297 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
298 info updates.
299
300 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
301 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
302 device dialog.
303
304 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
305
306 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
307 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
308 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
309 Mayat, for pointing these out).
310
311
312 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
313
314 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
315
316 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
317 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
318 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
319
320 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
321 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
322
323 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
324 an instrument.
325
326 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
327
328
329 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
330
331 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
332 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
333 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
334 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
335
336 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
337 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
338 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
339
340 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
341 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
342
343 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
344
345 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
346 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
347 change information are now also posted to messages window.
348
349 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
350 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
351 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
352 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
353
354 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
355 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
356 sampler instrument file.
357
358 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
359 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
360 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
361 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
362
363 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
364 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
365 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
366
367 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
368 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
369 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
370 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
371
372
373 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
374
375 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
376 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
377 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
378
379 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
380 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
381 following common user-interface guidelines.
382
383 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
384 control structures.
385
386 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
387
388 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
389 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
390 channel (omni mode).
391
392 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
393 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
394
395 * Minor configure fixes.
396
397
398 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
399
400 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
401
402 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
403 and on session file save.
404
405 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
406 on create time.
407
408 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
409
410
411 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
412
413 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
414 over the empty workspace area.
415
416 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
417 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
418 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
419 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
420
421 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
422 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
423
424 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
425 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
426
427 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
428 each sampler channel strip.
429
430 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
431 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
432
433 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
434 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
435
436 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
437 new sampler channel strip.
438
439 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
440 suggested in the following lines:
441
442 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
443 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
444 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
445 LOAD ENGINE ...
446 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
447 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
448
449
450 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
