12
13 - Fixed minor memory leak in device management dialog.
14
15
16 0.5.0 2017-12-12 An Autumn'17 release.
17
18 - French (fr) translation added by Olivier Humbert
19 (qsampler_fr.ts).
20
21 - Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent
22 from build/configure template chains.
23
24 - Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo
25 file (formerly AppData).
26
27
28 0.4.3 2017-04-27 Pre-LAC2017 release frenzy.
29
30 - Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
31
32 - Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of
33 the configure build date and time stamps.
34
35
36 0.4.2 2016-11-14 A Fall'16 release.
37
38 * Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application
39 instance setup.
40
41 * Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
42 line options, wrt. installation directories specification,

44
45
46 0.4.1 2016-09-14 End of Summer'16 release.
47
48 * Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended
49 in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
50
51 * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
52 given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
53 Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
54
55 * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
56 auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
57
58
59 0.4.0 2016-04-05 Spring'16 release frenzy.

62
63 * Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
64
65 * Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now
66 in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.
67

81 * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
82
83
84 0.3.0 2015-03-25 Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
85
86 * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
87
88 * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
89 of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
90
91 * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
92
93 * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
94 stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
95
96 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
97 main toolbar orientation.
98
99 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
100 as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
101
102 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
103
104 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on

107 * Translations install directory change.
108
109 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
110
111 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
112 the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
113 instruments of the same file.
114
115 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
116 (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
117
118
119 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
120
121 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
122
123 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
124
125 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
126 session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
127
128 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
129
130 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
131
132 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
133
134 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
135 configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
136
137 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
138
139 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
140
141 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
142
143 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
144
145 * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
146 and make.
147
148 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
149 as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
150 Debian 6.
151
152 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
153 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
154
155 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
156 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
157 been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
158 instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
159
160 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
161
162 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
163 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
164 wrong main widget hidden state.
165
166 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
167
168 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
169 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
170 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
171 targets (--enable-debug).
172
173 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
174
175 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
176 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
177 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
178
179 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
180 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
181
182 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
183 a menu separator has been added.
184
185 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
186 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
187
188 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
189 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
190 lame green solid background :).
191
192 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
193 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
194
195 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
196
197
198 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
199
200 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
201 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
202 ever may follow ;)
203
204 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
205
206 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
207 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
208 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
209 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
210 a sampler the next time.
211
212 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
213
214 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
215
216 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
217 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
218 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
219 (default none).
220
221 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
222 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
223 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
224
225 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
226 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
227 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
228 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
229
230 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
231 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
232
233 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
234 screwed.
235
236 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
237 e.g. by other frontends.
238
239 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
240 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
241 (fixes segfault on device changes)
242
243 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
244 "View" main menu.
245
246 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
247
248 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
249
250 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
251 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
252
253 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
254 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
255
256
257 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
258
259 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
260 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
261 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
262 default.
263
264 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
265 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
266
267 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
268 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
269
270 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
271 creating a new sampler channel.
272
273 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
274
275 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
276 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
277 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
278 first time).
279
280 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
281 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
282
283 * Added Windows file path support.
284
285 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
286 under win32.
287
288 * Qt4 port of the application.
289
290
291 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
292
293 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
294 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
295 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
296 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
297
298 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
299 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
300 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
301 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
302
303 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
304 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
305 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
306
307 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
308
309
310 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
311
312 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
313 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
314 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
315
316 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
317
318 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
319 the session state, only at code-level.
320
321 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
322 existing instrument file name.
323
324 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
325 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
326 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
327 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
328 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
329 corrected some tooltip text strings.
330
331 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
332 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
333 window managers.
334
335 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
336 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
337 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
338 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
339
340 * GPL address update.
341
342
343 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
344
345 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
346 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
347
348 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
349
350 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
351 installation paths have been added to configure command
352 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
353
354 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
355 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
356 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
357 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
358 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
359
360 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
361 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
362 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
363 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
364
365 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
366
367 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
368 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
369
370 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
371 title name prefix.
372
373 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
374 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
375 generated at configure time.
376
377 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
378 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
379 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
380 argument have some effect on X11.
381
382 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
383
384 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
385 compiled with -no-stl.
386
387
388 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
389
390 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
391 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
392 one, while on qjackctl).
393
394 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
395 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
396
397
398 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
399
400 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
401 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
402
403 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
404 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
405 info updates.
406
407 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
408 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
409 device dialog.
410
411 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
412
413 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
414 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
415 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
416 Mayat, for pointing these out).
417
418
419 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
420
421 * Device configuration is now complete.
422
423 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
424 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
425 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
426
427 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
428 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
429
430 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
431 an instrument.
432
433 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
434
435
436 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
437
438 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
439 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
440 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
441 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
442
443 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
444 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
445 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
446
447 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
448 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
449
450 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
451
452 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
453 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
454 change information are now also posted to messages window.
455
456 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
457 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
458 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
459 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
460
461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
462 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
463 sampler instrument file.
464
465 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
466 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
467 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
468 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
469
470 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
471 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
472 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
473
474 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
475 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
476 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
477 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
478
479
480 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
481
482 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
483 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
484 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
485
486 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
487 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
488 following common user-interface guidelines.
489
490 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
491 control structures.
492
493 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
494
495 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
496 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
497 channel (omni mode).
498
499 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
500 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
501
502 * Minor configure fixes.
503
504
505 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
506
507 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
508
509 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
510 and on session file save.
511
512 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
513 on create time.
514
515 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
516
517
518 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
519
520 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
521 over the empty workspace area.
522
523 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
524 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
525 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
526 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
527
528 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
529 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
530
531 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
532 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
533
534 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
535 each sampler channel strip.
536
537 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
538 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
539
540 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
541 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
542
543 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
544 new sampler channel strip.
545
546 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
547 suggested in the following lines:
548
549 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
550 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
551 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
552 LOAD ENGINE ...
553 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
554 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
555
556
557 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
