6 GIT HEAD
7
8 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
9 main toolbar orientation.
10
11 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
12 as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
13
14 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
15
16 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
17 debian, thanks).
18
19 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
20
21 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
22 (EXPERIMENTAL)
23
24 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
25 the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
26 instruments of the same file.
27
28 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
29 (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
30
31
32 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
33
34 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
35
36 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
37
38 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
39 session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
40
41 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
42
43 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
44
45 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
46
47 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
48 configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
49
50 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
51
52 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
53
54 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
55
56 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
57
58 * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
59 and make.
60
61 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
62 as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
63 Debian 6.
64
65 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
66 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
67
68 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
69 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
70 been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
71 instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
72
73 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
74
75 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
76 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
77 wrong main widget hidden state.
78
79 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
80
81 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
82 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
83 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
84 targets (--enable-debug).
85
86 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
87
88 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
89 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
90 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
91
92 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
93 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
94
95 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
96 a menu separator has been added.
97
98 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
99 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
100
101 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
102 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
103 lame green solid background :).
104
105 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
106 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
107
108 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
109
110
111 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
112
113 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
114 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
115 ever may follow ;)
116
117 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
118
119 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
120 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
121 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
122 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
123 a sampler the next time.
124
125 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
126
127 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
128
129 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
130 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
131 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
132 (default none).
133
134 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
135 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
136 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
137
138 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
139 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
140 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
141 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
142
143 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
144 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
145
146 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
147 screwed.
148
149 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
150 e.g. by other frontends.
151
152 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
153 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
154 (fixes segfault on device changes)
155
156 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
157 "View" main menu.
158
159 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
160
161 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
162
163 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
164 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
165
166 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
167 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
168
169
170 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
171
172 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
173 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
174 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
175 default.
176
177 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
178 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
179
180 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
181 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
182
183 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
184 creating a new sampler channel.
185
186 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
187
188 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
189 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
190 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
191 first time).
192
193 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
194 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
195
196 * Added Windows file path support.
197
198 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
199 under win32.
200
201 * Qt4 port of the application.
202
203
204 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
205
206 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
207 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
208 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
209 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
210
211 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
212 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
213 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
214 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
215
216 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
217 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
218 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
219
220 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
221
222
223 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
224
225 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
226 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
227 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
228
229 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
230
231 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
232 the session state, only at code-level.
233
234 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
235 existing instrument file name.
236
237 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
238 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
239 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
240 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
241 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
242 corrected some tooltip text strings.
243
244 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
245 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
246 window managers.
247
248 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
249 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
250 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
251 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
252
253 * GPL address update.
254
255
256 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
257
258 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
259 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
260
261 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
262
263 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
264 installation paths have been added to configure command
265 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
266
267 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
268 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
269 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
270 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
271 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
272
273 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
274 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
275 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
276 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
277
278 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
279
280 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
281 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
282
283 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
284 title name prefix.
285
286 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
287 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
288 generated at configure time.
289
290 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
291 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
292 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
293 argument have some effect on X11.
294
295 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
296
297 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
298 compiled with -no-stl.
299
300
301 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
302
303 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
304 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
305 one, while on qjackctl).
306
307 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
308 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
309
310
311 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
312
313 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
314 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
315
316 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
317 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
318 info updates.
319
320 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
321 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
322 device dialog.
323
324 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
325
326 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
327 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
328 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
329 Mayat, for pointing these out).
330
331
332 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
333
334 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
335
336 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
337 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
338 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
339
340 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
341 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
342
343 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
344 an instrument.
345
346 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
347
348
349 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
350
351 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
352 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
353 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
354 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
355
356 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
357 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
358 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
359
360 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
361 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
362
363 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
364
365 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
366 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
367 change information are now also posted to messages window.
368
369 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
370 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
371 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
372 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
373
374 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
375 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
376 sampler instrument file.
377
378 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
379 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
380 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
381 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
382
383 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
384 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
385 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
386
387 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
388 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
389 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
390 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
391
392
393 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
394
395 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
396 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
397 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
398
399 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
400 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
401 following common user-interface guidelines.
402
403 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
404 control structures.
405
406 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
407
408 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
409 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
410 channel (omni mode).
411
412 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
413 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
414
415 * Minor configure fixes.
416
417
418 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
419
420 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
421
422 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
423 and on session file save.
424
425 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
426 on create time.
427
428 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
429
430
431 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
432
433 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
434 over the empty workspace area.
435
436 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
437 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
438 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
439 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
440
441 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
442 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
443
444 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
445 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
446
447 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
448 each sampler channel strip.
449
450 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
451 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
452
453 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
454 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
455
456 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
457 new sampler channel strip.
458
459 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
460 suggested in the following lines:
461
462 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
463 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
464 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
465 LOAD ENGINE ...
466 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
467 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
468
469
470 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
