162
163 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
164
165 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
166 the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
167 instruments of the same file.
168
169 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
170 (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
171
172
173 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
174
175 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
176

192
193 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
194
195 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
196
197 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
198
199 * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
200 and make.
201
202 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
203 as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
204 Debian 6.
205
206 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
207 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
208
209 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
210 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
211 been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
212 instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
213
214 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
215
216 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
217 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
218 wrong main widget hidden state.
219
220 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
221
222 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
223 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
224 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
225 targets (--enable-debug).
226
227 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
228
229 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
230 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
231 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
232
233 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
234 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
235
236 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
237 a menu separator has been added.
238
239 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
240 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
241
242 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
243 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
244 lame green solid background :).
245
246 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
247 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
248
249 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
250
251
252 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
253
254 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
255 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
256 ever may follow ;)
257
258 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
259
260 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
261 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
262 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
263 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
264 a sampler the next time.
265
266 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
267
268 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
269
270 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
271 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
272 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
273 (default none).
274
275 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
276 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
277 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
278
279 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
280 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
281 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
282 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
283
284 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
285 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
286
287 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
288 screwed.
289
290 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
291 e.g. by other frontends.
292
293 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
294 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
295 (fixes segfault on device changes)
296
297 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
298 "View" main menu.
299
300 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
301
302 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
303
304 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
305 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
306
307 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
308 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
309
310
311 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
312
313 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
314 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
315 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
316 default.
317
318 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
319 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
320
321 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
322 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
323
324 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
325 creating a new sampler channel.
326
327 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
328
329 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
330 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
331 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
332 first time).
333
334 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
335 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
336
337 * Added Windows file path support.
338
339 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
340 under win32.
341
342 * Qt4 port of the application.
343
344
345 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
346
347 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
348 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
349 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
350 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
351
352 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
353 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
354 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
355 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
356
357 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
358 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
359 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
360
361 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
362
363
364 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
365
366 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
367 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
368 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
369
370 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
371
372 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
373 the session state, only at code-level.
374
375 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
376 existing instrument file name.
377
378 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
379 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
380 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
381 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
382 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
383 corrected some tooltip text strings.
384
385 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
386 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
387 window managers.
388
389 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
390 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
391 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
392 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
393
394 * GPL address update.
395
396
397 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
398
399 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
400 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
401
402 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
403
404 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
405 installation paths have been added to configure command
406 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
407
408 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
409 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
410 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
411 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
412 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
413
414 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
415 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
416 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
417 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
418
419 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
420
421 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
422 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
423
424 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
425 title name prefix.
426
427 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
428 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
429 generated at configure time.
430
431 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
432 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
433 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
434 argument have some effect on X11.
435
436 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
437
438 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
439 compiled with -no-stl.
440
441
442 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
443
444 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
445 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
446 one, while on qjackctl).
447
448 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
449 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
450
451
452 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
453
454 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
455 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
456
457 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
458 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
459 info updates.
460
461 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
462 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
463 device dialog.
464
465 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
466
467 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
468 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
469 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
470 Mayat, for pointing these out).
471
472
473 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
474
475 * Device configuration is now complete.
476
477 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
478 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
479 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
480
481 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
482 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
483
484 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
485 an instrument.
486
487 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
488
489
490 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
491
492 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
493 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
494 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
495 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
496
497 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
498 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
499 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
500
501 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
502 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
503
504 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
505
506 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
507 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
508 change information are now also posted to messages window.
509
510 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
511 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
512 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
513 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
514
515 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
516 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
517 sampler instrument file.
518
519 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
520 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
521 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
522 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
523
524 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
525 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
526 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
527
528 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
529 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
530 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
531 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
532
533
534 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
535
536 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
537 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
538 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
539
540 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
541 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
542 following common user-interface guidelines.
543
544 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
545 control structures.
546
547 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
548
549 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
550 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
551 channel (omni mode).
552
553 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
554 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
555
556 * Minor configure fixes.
557
558
559 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
560
561 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
562
563 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
564 and on session file save.
565
566 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
567 on create time.
568
569 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
570
571
572 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
573
574 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
575 over the empty workspace area.
576
577 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
578 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
579 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
580 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
581
582 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
583 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
584
585 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
586 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
587
588 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
589 each sampler channel strip.
590
591 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
592 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
593
594 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
595 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
596
597 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
598 new sampler channel strip.
599
600 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
601 suggested in the following lines:
602
603 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
604 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
605 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
606 LOAD ENGINE ...
607 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
608 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
609
