# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * Script Editor: Added syntax highlighting support for standard measurement
4        units (and their potential metric prefix).
5      * Require C++11 compliant compiler.
6      * Draw LFO curves according to settings for each one of the 3 LFOs.
7      * Added 2 new tabs (a 3rd tab for "Amp" and a 3rd tab for "Filter").
8      * Shortened "Amplitude" -> "Amp" on tabs (to save space).
9      * Increased default window width 865px -> 960px.
10      * Script Editor: Show warning message in status line if Gigedit was compiled
11        without liblinuxsampler support (to make user aware about limited features).
12      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added combo box for selecting a wave form type
13        for each one of the 3 LFOs (i.e. for overriding the default LFO sine wave
14        form to either triangle, saw or square instead).
15      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added slider for each one of the 3 LFOs for
16        altering the phase displacement of the respective LFO (that is for moving
17        the LFO's start level horizontally on the time axis).
18      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added checkbox "Flip Phase" to LFO 3
19        (the original Gigasampler/GigaStudio software only supported that option
20        for LFO 1 and LFO 2).
21      * Increased crossfade curve preview dimensions
22        (280px X 80px -> 500px X 100px).
23    
24    Version 1.1.1 (2019-07-27)
25    
26      * Script Editor: Fixed some minor issues with vertical line number bar
27        (which was editable, selectable and incorrectly displayed on new scripts).
28      * Translation Fix: MacroEditor.cpp and MacrosSetup.cpp were not under
29        translation control.
30      * Spelling fixes (patch provided by Debian maintainer Jaromír Mikeš).
31      * Added new main menu item "View" -> "Tooltips for Beginners" which allows
32        to disable tooltips intended for newbies only (default: on).
33      * Extended support for keyboard function keys up to F19.
34      * List assigned scripts as colored tooltip when hovering mouse over the
35        "Scripts" column in the instruments list.
36      * Added global keyboard accelerator Shift + Backspace for dropping all script
37        slots from an instrument.
38      * Added option to save as gig v4 file (File -> Properties).
39      * Fixed duplicate items in File -> Properties -> "File Format" combo box.
40      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added combo box "Sustain Release Trigger" which
41        can be used to optionally play release trigger samples on sustain pedal up.
42      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added check box "No note-off release trigger"
43        which allows to disable release trigger samples on regular MIDI note-off.
44      * Fixed compiler errors with Gtk 3.24.x (patch by Miroslav Šulc).
45      * Fixed some compiler warnings
46      * Avoid non-standard offsetof usage (to get rid of gcc warnings)
47      * Use GDK Seat API if available to grab pointer
48      * Improve version checks for pangomm
49      * Fix the instrument list tooltip handling so it doesn't generate
50        GTK assertion error messages
51      * Use English quotation marks in tooltips instead of German
52      * Use multiple columns in controller value popups, as tall popup
53        menus work really badly in some GTK environments
54      * Avoid deprecated sigc++ usage
55      * Fix build on old linux environments
56      * Enable "silent rules" in build
57      * Fix memory read access bug
58      * Refactor code: add common base class for Loader and Saver
59      * Fix resource leak: join loader and saver threads after use
60      * Use std::thread when building with newer glibmm, as Glib::Thread is
61        deprecated
62      * Fix bug that left the main window in a greyed out state after
63        opening a small gig file
64      * Set gtk settings a bit later to prevent warnings
65      * Use standard name for gdk pixbuf module file on Mac
66      * Look for locale files under directory share on Mac
67      * Support bundled gtk3 on Mac
68    
69    Version 1.1.0 (2017-11-25)
70    
71      * allow building with G/GDK/GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
72      * fixed building without linuxsampler on Mac
73      * fixed some compiler and cppcheck warnings
74      * synthesis paremeter page tabs are now scrollable (fixes an issue with
75        GTK 3: default theme uses huge tabs which breaks the overall layout on
76        average window sizes)
77      * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
78        auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
79      * NKSP Editor: Added support for liblinuxsampler's NKSP syntax
80        highlighting backend.
81      * Script Editor: Some color tweaks (using now same text colors as on
82        the NKSP refrence documentation website).
83      * Script Editor: Added support for liblinuxsampler's NKSP parser
84        backend for displaying parser errors and warnings directly within
85        the source code.
86      * User settings are now automatically saved and restored.
87      * Automatically save & restore window size and position.
88      * Script Editor: Show precise parser error/warning messages as tooltip
89        when the mouse points over the respective location in the script's
90        source code.
91      * Script Editor: Show a question dialog to the user when the editor is
92        to be closed and the script changes have not been applied yet.
93      * Script Editor: Added status bar at the bottom of the script editor
94        window showing the amount (if any) of errors and warnings.
95      * Script Editor: Added menu bar and two initial entries: "Apply" (Ctrl-S)
96        and "Close" (Ctrl-Q).
97      * Script Editor: if editor is used in live-mode, inform the sampler that
98        it needs to automatically reload the script after the script has been
99        altered and applied with the script editor.
100      * Added setting to main menu "View" -> "Auto Restore Window Dimension"
101        (disabled by default since it causes issues on some machines).
102      * Fixed crash after changing a dimension type with the dimension manager
103        dialog.
104      * Script Editor: Fixed editor which did not appear on some systems due
105        to missing icons (using now lists of alternative icon names).
106      * Script Editor: Added "Font Size ..." selection to editor's menu.
107      * Script Editor: Fixed crash on Ctrl + A, followed by Del.
108      * fixed crash when opening dimension manager dialolg multiple times
109        (and i.e. adding or removing dimensions each time)
110      * Show sample group name and CRC-32 checksum on "Sample" tab.
111      * Show instrument index number on instruments list view.
112      * Added multi-row selection support on samples tree view.
113      * Added multi-row selection support on instruments list view.
114      * windows, 32-bit: fixed crashes by making sure the stack in sub
115        threads is 16-byte aligned
116      * windows: look for the data directory in the parent of the dll
117        directory, if the dll directory is called "32" or "64"
118      * Implemented resizing multiple dimension region zones at once, which is
119        controlled by the infamous checkbox trio "all regions",
120        "all dimension splits" and "both channels".
121      * Implemented deleting dimension region zones of all regions at once, which
122        is controlled by checkbox "all regions".
123      * Implemented splitting up dimension region zones of all regions at once,
124        which is controlled by checkbox "all regions".
125      * Show graphical symbol on region that uses loop(s).
126      * Show graphical symbol on region that misses sample reference(s).
127      * Fixed crash on saving file if a sample was requested to be replaced twice
128        by the user.
129      * Implemented fast navigation through regions by keyboard accelerator
130        Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right (on Mac: Cmd+Left and Cmd+Right).
131      * Implemented fast navigation through dimension region zones of currently
132        selected region by keyboard accelerator Alt+Left, Alt+Right, Alt+Up,
133        Alt+Down, as well as simply using the arrow keys alone if the dimension
134        region chooser got focus (i.e. when it was selected by mouse previously).
135      * Color tweaking on selected regions and selected dimension zones.
136      * Dimension Region Chooser: Show main selected case in opaque blue color
137        (like before), but all other selected dimension zones with a blue hatched
138        pattern instead.
139      * Dimension Region Chooser: Show the label of the currently selected
140        dimension in bold font.
141      * Implemented selecting multiple dimension region zones by keyboard with
142        keyboard accelerators Alt+Shift+Left and Alt+Shift+Right.
143      * Implemented copy & paste of DimensionRegion (with Alt+c and Alt+v).
144      * Dimension Region Chooser: Mark all zones auto selected by check box trio
145        with gray hatched pattern.
146      * Region Chooser: Mark all regions which are auto selected by check box
147        "All Regions" with gray hatched pattern.
148      * Introduced "Macro Editor" for adjusting clipboard content before applying
149        it (accessible via Alt+x).
150      * Introduced configurable list of macros which are auto assigned to keyboard
151        accelerators (F1 ... F12) and saved along with the app's config file.
152      * Macro Editor: Fixed deleting rows when delete button was hit without Ctrl
153        being pressed.
154      * Macro Editor: Show combo box with textual options for enum types.
155      * "Macro" main menu section: show macro comments as tooltip.
156      * Macro Editor: Display demangled C++ type names.
157      * Macros Setup: Implemented cloning of macros.
158      * Live mode performance optimization: fixed the editor to be non-responsive
159        for a very long time, which happened if changing instrument parameters of a
160        very large amount of dimension regions was requested.
161      * Macro Editor: Handle boolean parameter types appropriately, i.e. show
162        'Yes' or 'NO' instead of '1' or '0'.
163      * GTK3: Bringing back icons and keyboard accelerators / mnemonics for menus
164        and buttons with GTK3; Cudos to those GTK heros who thought it might be
165        a clever idea to simply remove such features for all users, all devices
166        and all apps by default with GTK3!
167      * Autoconf: check for presence of at least gtk+-2.0-dev.
168      * Instruments list view: show amount of real-time instruments scripts used
169        by instrument.
170      * Script Editor: Fixed Gtk crash while entering a variety of ill formed code
171        like unterminated string literals.
172      * Assigned more useful default dimensions (and default position) for various
173        windows and dialogs (if auto-restore of user's own custom window
174        dimensions is disabled).
175      * Mac fix: Make sure app window appears in front of all other apps.
176      * Script Editor: only if compiled without liblinuxsampler; added support for
177        new NKSP language keyword "synchronized".
178      * Script Editor: strike through code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor.
179      * Combine Tool: Show instruments' index number in the list view.
180      * Combine Tool: Now it allows to select the instruments to be combined
181        already in the main window's instruments list view; then either call the
182        combine instrument dialog from the main menu or use the new keyboard
183        shortcut Ctrl + j.
184      * Combine Tool: Added a vertical list which represents the order of the
185        selected instruments to be combined; dragging them modifies their order.
186      * Combine Tool: After returning from the combine tool dialog, automatically
187        scroll to the newly added (combined) instrument.
188      * Draw icons on individual dimension region zones, similar to the icons
189        already been drawn on regions.
190      * Fixed loop and sample reference icons being displayed incorrectly sometimes,
191        because unused dimension regions were not ignored.
192      * Script Editor: Show line numbers.
193      * Script Editor: Right aligned line numbers.
194      * Script Editor: Fixed font readability issue on Mac.
195      * Added EG state machine options for EG1 and EG2, which may be used to
196        configure whether the individual EG stages may be cancelled.
197      * Fix: after the combine instruments dialog, the new instrument was not
198        correctly displayed by the GUI as being selected.
199      * Fix: automatically reload instrument after script slots have been modified.
200      * Combine Tool: OK button has focus now by default to quickly combine
201        instruments by pressing Return key.
202      * Added keyboard accelerators Shift+F1 to Shift+F12 for quick assigning
203        a script to the currently selected instrument, and an appropriate
204        additional menu "Instruments" -> "Assign Script".
205      * Added keyboard accelerators Ctrl + Arrow Down and Ctrl + Arrow Up for
206        switching between instruments.
207      * Added search filter field which allows to quickly filter the instrument
208        list by case insensitive search tokens.
209      * Fix: navigating between dimension zones by keyboard did sometimes not
210        work after switching from an instrument with different dimension types.
211      * Fix: Sample references view dialog had some odd behaviors, like it did not
212        respond to mouse scroll events for instance.
213      * Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch".
214      * Raised max. pitchbend range to 48 semi tones.
215      * Added experimental support for upcoming GTK(MM)4
216        (for now up to GTKMM 3.91.2 while still preserving backward compatibility
217        down to GTKMM 2).
218      * Re-merged r2845 to compile now with and without Gtk "Stock ID" API
219        (see also r3158).
220      * Visual cosmetics on Gtk 3.
221      * Script Editor: Use consistent font size on all screens and DPI settings.
222    
223    Version 1.0.0 (2015-07-17)
224    
225      * minor fix in configure for cross-compiling
226      * minor Makefile fix for parallel make
227      * use Cairo instead of deprecated gdk drawing primitives
228      * avoid deprecated gtk methods when using newer gtk versions
229      * raised minimum supported gtkmm version to 2.8
230      * ported to gtkmm 3, keeping compatibility with gtkmm 2
231      * gtkmm 3 fix: rewrote the custom widgets (regionchooser and
232        dimregionchooser) so they only draw pixels in the on_draw
233        method. This should make them work again in newer gtkmm 3
234        environments.
235      * added support for new glibmm threads API
236      * gtkmm 3 fix: the WrapLabel custom widget is not needed in gtkmm 3
237      * fixed building on Debian testing (#186)
238      * modernized configure script
239      * added graphical curves for velocity response and crossfade
240      * added "Duplicate Instrument" function
241      * fixed import of 32 bit float wav files
242      * code refactoring: created a PropEdit class for property editor
243        windows, moved Table class from mainwindow to paramedit
244      * minor gui tweaks: made note entry fields a bit wider, set a
245        minimum width for scales
246      * bug fix: avoid stale information in the instrument properties
247        window when a new file is loaded or the instrument is removed
248      * cross fade graph: draw curves of all layers in the same graph
249      * made sure the instruments menu is updated when instruments are
250        added, removed or renamed
251      * fixed name entry field in instrument properties window
252      * use character encoding Windows-1252 for all strings in gig files
253      * show dimension zone start and end as numeric text labels
254      * copying sample informations automatically may now be disabled from the
255        new "Edit" main menu
256      * import 'fine tune' when importing samples with libsndfile
257      * Mac OS X: initialize gtk and gettext with files from base
258        directory of the libgigedit library
259      * Mac OS X: fixed "recently used" in file dialogs
260      * Mac OS X: avoid crash when starting gigedit as an application
261        bundle
262      * Mac OS X: try to launch the GUI on the process's "main" thread
263      * show build date and libgig version number in about dialog
264      * added dialog for editing the CtrlTrigger and Legato midi rules
265      * if there is no region yet, show a red hint text to the user that he may
266        right click on the region chooser area to add a region
267      * added tooltips to main menu entries (was buggy before)
268      * added tooltips to instruments tree view and samples tree view
269      * added various tooltips and adjusted some labels on the region settings
270        pane
271      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: only a small set of possible MIDI controllers
272        was selectable for EG1 controller, EG2 controller and attenuation
273        controller (and no CC number was shown in the combo box). Obviously the
274        additional MIDI controllers can only be used with LinuxSampler, they would
275        not work with Gigasampler/GigaStudio. A warning message will be shown
276        though whenever somebody tries to use one of those extension controllers.
277      * Combine instruments: a new feature that allows to merge a selection of
278        instruments to one new single instrument. It uses the 'layer' dimension
279        to stack up the instruments. This feature is available from the main menu
280        under 'Tools' -> 'Combine Instruments'.
281      * Dimension zone amount: Support for increasing and decreasing the amount of
282        dimension zones by right clicking on the respective zone and either
283        selecting "delete" or "split" in the popup menu.
284      * Combine instruments: generalized this tool to allow combining instruments
285        based on any dimension, not only the 'layer' dimension.
286      * 'Dimension Manager' dialog: show dialog window with at least 460x300px on
287        initial usage (was far too small by default).
288      * File Property Dialog: allow viewing and altering the Giga file format
289        version (by combo box).
290      * 'Dimension Manager' dialog: added support for viewing and editing
291        dimensions of all regions simultaniously.
292      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added support for managing and editing
293        real-time instrument scripts. Instrument scripts are a LinuxSampler
294        extension of the original Giga format and will not load with the
295        GigaStudio software.
296      * GIG SOUND FORMAT EXTENSION: Added support for managing script slots for
297        instruments. Script slots define which scripts shall be executed for an
298        instrument by the sampler and in which order.
299      * Samples tree view on main window: display the amount of references for
300        each sample and show the respective sample in gray color in case it is not
301        referenced at all.
302      * Samples tree view: implemented sample reference browser, which shows a
303        tree with all instruments and their respective regions which reference the
304        selected sample once ore more.
305      * Restructured main menu: duplicated all popup menus to the main menu,
306        automatically switch to the right tree view tab when either selecting the
307        "Sample", "Instrument" or "Script" main menu entry.
308      * Dimension Region Selector: implemented multi zone selection by press and
309        hold CTRL key.
310      * Dimension Region Selector: show bottom and upper limit values for all
311        dimension zones, not just the currently selected ones.
312      * Dimension Region Selector: Fixed drawing issues when zone sizes were
313        altered by mouse drag and labels being displayed at wrong positions.
314      * Region Chooser: Double click opens dimension manager dialog.
315      * Dimension Manager: Clicking on dimension type cell of an existing dimension
316        opens a popup to alter the dimension type.
317      * Script Tree: Double click opens script editor.
318      * Fixed potential crash if exception was thrown while opening a gig file.
319      * Added support for visual progress bar while saving a gig file.
320      * Automatically switch the sampler's (audible) instrument whenever another
321        instrument was selected in gigedit (this default behavior can be switched
322        off in the settings menu of gigedit).
323      * Dimension Region Editor: Show coarse sample format info (audio channels,
324        bit depth, sample rate) and unique sample ID (since the gig format allows
325        different samples to have the same name).
326      * Dimension Region Editor: Added button "Select Sample" on the sample tab,
327        which allows to conveniently select the dimension region's sample on the
328        left hand side's samples tree view.
329      * Sample Referenve View Dialog: Clicking on a reference in the list closes
330        the dialog and jumps directly to the respective instrument, region and
331        dimension region the respective sample reference is located at.
332      * Fixed instruments, samples and scripts to appear twice after save.
333      * Implemented reordering of instruments by drag & drop.
334      * Implemented replacing of existing samples.
335      * Added "X" button next to sample reference field, which allows to remove
336        the current sample reference, allowing to create a "silent case" where
337        no sample shall be played.
338      * Fixed file name disappearing from title bar on certain actions.
339      * Added new menu item "View"->"Refresh All".
340      * Added new menu item "Samples"->"Remove Unused Samples".
341      * Region Chooser: when moving a region around automatically move the
342        keyboard position dependent pitch accordingly (can be turned off with
343        "Settings"->"Move root key with region moved").
344      * Added option to main menu for performing "Save" operation with a
345        tempoary file (may perform faster than directly modifying existing
346        .gig file).
347    
348    Version 0.2.0 (2009-07-31)
349    
350      * fixed file properties dialog - properties now can be edited
351      * gig files where regions are not internally ordered are now handled
352      * the resize mouse pointer is not shown anymore for regions that
353        can't be resized
354      * the region and dimregion chooser widgets are now resizable
355      * bugfix: sometimes you could not delete more than one dimension
356      * filter headers are now also greyed out when the filter is inactive
357      * autoconf fix: LS plugin dirs with digits in their prefix
358        (e.g. "/usr/lib64/foo") are now resolved in relative dirs as well
359        (show a warning when resolving the relative path failed)
360      * keys on the virtual keyboard now highlight on note on events on
361        sampler side
362      * virtual keyboard can now trigger notes for the sampler (only in
363        live-mode of course)
364      * implemented alternative behavior for the virtual MIDI keyboard
365        (selectable by combobox below the keyboard)
366      * show absolute velocity value of note-on & note-off events below
367        the virtual MIDI keyboard
368      * renamed misleading names regarding the gig format's "keyswitching"
369        feature (the dimension is now displayed as "keyswitching" instead of
370        "keyboard" in the dimregchooser widget and the two parameters for
371        defining the actual keyswitching area on the keyboard in the instruments
372        properties dialog are now called "Keyswitching range low/high" instead of
373        "Dimension key range low/high")
374      * added "replace all samples" function to samples popup menu
375        (patch by Anders Dahnielson, a bit extended, fixes #73)
376      * bugfix: dimension manager window didn't update when another region
377        was selected (#78)
378      * in "Save As..." dialog set inital filename to "copy_of_<filename>" and
379        show a warning message that saving to the same .gig file will corrupt
380        the sample wave data
381      * fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
382      * the "Add Samples" dialog now remembers current directory (patch by
383        Devin Anderson, fixes #81)
384      * it is now possible to create dimensions where the amount of zones
385        isn't a power of two (patch by Devin Anderson, #89, slightly
