|
| 6 |
SVN TRUNK |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
* Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
* A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on |
| 11 |
debian, thanks). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL) |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration. |
| 16 |
(EXPERIMENTAL) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
* Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when |
| 19 |
the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among |
| 20 |
instruments of the same file. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
* Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir |
| 23 |
(impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0). |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
* Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
* More preparations for Qt5 configure build. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
* Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for |
| 33 |
session files (*.lscp) is now being added. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
* Preparations for Qt5 migration. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
* Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
* Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
* Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the |
| 42 |
configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
* Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
* Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
* Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
* Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
* Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure |
| 53 |
and make. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
* libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, |
| 56 |
as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, |
| 57 |
Debian 6. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
* Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling |
| 60 |
into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
* Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for |
| 63 |
other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has |
| 64 |
been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines |
| 65 |
instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2). |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
* General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place. |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
* Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has |
| 70 |
been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to |
| 71 |
wrong main widget hidden state. |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
* General source tree layout and build configuration change. |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
* Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back- |
| 76 |
traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure |
| 77 |
option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build |
| 78 |
targets (--enable-debug). |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
* Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6. |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
* Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher: |
| 83 |
now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit |
| 84 |
(65536), possibly fixing bug #136. |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
* LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap |
| 87 |
just makes it a shortcut to File/Save. |
| 88 |
|
| 89 |
* MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists; |
| 90 |
a menu separator has been added. |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
* Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices |
| 93 |
and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed. |
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
* MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status |
| 96 |
widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a |
| 97 |
lame green solid background :). |
| 98 |
|
| 99 |
* Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to |
| 100 |
disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied. |
| 101 |
|
| 102 |
* Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric). |
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
|
| 105 |
0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle. |
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
* Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as |
| 108 |
brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom |
| 109 |
ever may follow ;) |
| 110 |
|
| 111 |
* Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons. |
| 112 |
|
| 113 |
* Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting |
| 114 |
(accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning |
| 115 |
settings will be saved in case the user modified them and |
| 116 |
automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to |
| 117 |
a sampler the next time. |
| 118 |
|
| 119 |
* Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. |
| 120 |
|
| 121 |
* Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. |
| 122 |
|
| 123 |
* Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding |
| 124 |
font size configuration, a new global user option is now available |
| 125 |
to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size |
| 126 |
(default none). |
| 127 |
|
| 128 |
* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of |
| 129 |
the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode. |
| 130 |
(transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). |
| 131 |
|
| 132 |
* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and |
| 133 |
running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup |
| 134 |
iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its |
| 135 |
main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). |
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
* Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, |
| 138 |
with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging. |
| 139 |
|
| 140 |
* Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were |
| 141 |
screwed. |
| 142 |
|
| 143 |
* Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed |
| 144 |
e.g. by other frontends. |
| 145 |
|
| 146 |
* Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed, |
| 147 |
e.g. on changes caused by other frontends |
| 148 |
(fixes segfault on device changes) |
| 149 |
|
| 150 |
* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the |
| 151 |
"View" main menu. |
| 152 |
|
| 153 |
* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. |
| 154 |
|
| 155 |
* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. |
| 156 |
|
| 157 |
* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel |
| 158 |
strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. |
| 159 |
|
| 160 |
* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user |
| 161 |
decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. |
| 162 |
|
| 163 |
|
| 164 |
0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. |
| 165 |
|
| 166 |
* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument |
| 167 |
names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then |
| 168 |
the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by |
| 169 |
default. |
| 170 |
|
| 171 |
* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually |
| 172 |
evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). |
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though |
| 175 |
the main menu and toobar are not visible. |
| 176 |
|
| 177 |
* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when |
| 178 |
creating a new sampler channel. |
| 179 |
|
| 180 |
* README requirements and configuration notes update. |
| 181 |
|
| 182 |
* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument |
| 183 |
form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie |
| 184 |
users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the |
| 185 |
first time). |
| 186 |
|
| 187 |
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters |
| 188 |
which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). |
| 189 |
|
| 190 |
* Added Windows file path support. |
| 191 |
|
| 192 |
* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles |
| 193 |
under win32. |
| 194 |
|
| 195 |
* Qt4 port of the application. |
| 196 |
|
| 197 |
|
| 198 |
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
| 199 |
|
| 200 |
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
| 201 |
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
| 202 |
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
| 203 |
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
| 204 |
|
| 205 |
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
| 206 |
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
| 207 |
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
| 208 |
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
| 209 |
|
| 210 |
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
| 211 |
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
| 212 |
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
| 213 |
|
| 214 |
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
| 215 |
|
| 216 |
|
| 217 |
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
| 218 |
|
| 219 |
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
| 220 |
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
| 221 |
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
| 222 |
|
| 223 |
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
| 224 |
|
| 225 |
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
| 226 |
the session state, only at code-level. |
| 227 |
|
| 228 |
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
| 229 |
existing instrument file name. |
| 230 |
|
| 231 |
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
| 232 |
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
| 233 |
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
| 234 |
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
| 235 |
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
| 236 |
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
| 237 |
|
| 238 |
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
| 239 |
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
| 240 |
window managers. |
| 241 |
|
| 242 |
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
| 243 |
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
| 244 |
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
| 245 |
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
| 246 |
|
| 247 |
* GPL address update. |
| 248 |
|
| 249 |
|
| 250 |
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
| 251 |
|
| 252 |
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
| 253 |
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
| 254 |
|
| 255 |
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
| 256 |
|
| 257 |
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
| 258 |
installation paths have been added to configure command |
| 259 |
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
| 260 |
|
| 261 |
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
| 262 |
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
| 263 |
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
| 264 |
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
| 265 |
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
| 266 |
|
| 267 |
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
| 268 |
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
| 269 |
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
| 270 |
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
| 271 |
|
| 272 |
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
| 273 |
|
| 274 |
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
| 275 |
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
| 276 |
|
| 277 |
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
| 278 |
title name prefix. |
| 279 |
|
| 280 |
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
| 281 |
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
| 282 |
generated at configure time. |
| 283 |
|
| 284 |
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
| 285 |
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
| 286 |
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
| 287 |
argument have some effect on X11. |
| 288 |
|
| 289 |
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
| 290 |
|
| 291 |
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
| 292 |
compiled with -no-stl. |
| 293 |
|
| 294 |
|
| 295 |
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
| 296 |
|
| 297 |
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
| 298 |
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
| 299 |
one, while on qjackctl). |
| 300 |
|
| 301 |
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
| 302 |
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
| 303 |
|
| 304 |
|
| 305 |
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
| 306 |
|
| 307 |
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
| 308 |
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
| 309 |
|
| 310 |
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
| 311 |
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
| 312 |
info updates. |
| 313 |
|
| 314 |
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
| 315 |
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
| 316 |
device dialog. |
| 317 |
|
| 318 |
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
| 319 |
|
| 320 |
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
| 321 |
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
| 322 |
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
| 323 |
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
| 324 |
|
| 325 |
|
| 326 |
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
| 327 |
|
| 328 |
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
| 329 |
|
| 330 |
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
| 331 |
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
| 332 |
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
| 333 |
|
| 334 |
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
| 335 |
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
| 336 |
|
| 337 |
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
| 338 |
an instrument. |
| 339 |
|
| 340 |
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
| 341 |
|
| 342 |
|
| 343 |
0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
| 344 |
|
| 345 |
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
| 346 |
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
| 347 |
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
| 348 |
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
| 349 |
|
| 350 |
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
| 351 |
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
| 352 |
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
| 353 |
|
| 354 |
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
| 355 |
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
| 356 |
|
| 357 |
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
| 358 |
|
| 359 |
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
| 360 |
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
| 361 |
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
| 362 |
|
| 363 |
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
| 364 |
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
| 365 |
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
| 366 |
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
| 367 |
|
| 368 |
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
| 369 |
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
| 370 |
sampler instrument file. |
| 371 |
|
| 372 |
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
| 373 |
from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, |
| 374 |
avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the |
| 375 |
channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. |
| 376 |
|
| 377 |
* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where |
| 378 |
available, as the default handler is usually fatal when |
| 379 |
a JACK client is zombified abruptly. |
| 380 |
|
| 381 |
* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line |
| 382 |
count exceeds in one third the user configured line count |
| 383 |
maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is |
| 384 |
otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. |
| 385 |
|
| 386 |
|
| 387 |
0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. |
| 388 |
|
| 389 |
* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; |
| 390 |
actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from |
| 391 |
the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. |
| 392 |
|
| 393 |
* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, |
| 394 |
the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, |
| 395 |
following common user-interface guidelines. |
| 396 |
|
| 397 |
* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal |
| 398 |
control structures. |
| 399 |
|
| 400 |
* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. |
| 401 |
|
| 402 |
* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing |
| 403 |
the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler |
| 404 |
channel (omni mode). |
| 405 |
|
| 406 |
* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background |
| 407 |
color to black (was green), being now an user option. |
| 408 |
|
| 409 |
* Minor configure fixes. |
| 410 |
|
| 411 |
|
| 412 |
0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release. |
| 413 |
|
| 414 |
* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. |
| 415 |
|
| 416 |
* Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog, |
| 417 |
and on session file save. |
| 418 |
|
| 419 |
* Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults |
| 420 |
on create time. |
| 421 |
|
| 422 |
* Implied channel reset on successful instrument load. |
| 423 |
|
| 424 |
|
| 425 |
0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release. |
| 426 |
|
| 427 |
* The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking |
| 428 |
over the empty workspace area. |
| 429 |
|
| 430 |
* Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(), |
| 431 |
so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and |
| 432 |
avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the |
| 433 |
correct salvage of settings and configuration. |
| 434 |
|
| 435 |
* Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option, |
| 436 |
provided to override the default (which is 100%). |
| 437 |
|
| 438 |
* Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been |
| 439 |
increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds. |
| 440 |
|
| 441 |
* A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over |
| 442 |
each sampler channel strip. |
| 443 |
|
| 444 |
* Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from |
| 445 |
qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect. |
| 446 |
|
| 447 |
* Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between |
| 448 |
a #if !defined(WIN32) clause. |
| 449 |
|
