1 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 ------------------------------------------

4 ChangeLog
5
6 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
7
8 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
9 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
10 ever may follow ;)
11
12 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
13
14 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
15 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
16 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
17 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
18 a sampler the next time.
19
20 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
21
22 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
23
24 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
25 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
26 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
27 (default none).
28
29 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
30 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
31 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
32
33 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
34 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
35 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
36 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
37
38 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
39 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
40
41 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
42 screwed.
43
44 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
45 e.g. by other frontends.
46
47 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
48 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
49 (fixes segfault on device changes)
50
51 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
52 "View" main menu.
53
54 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
55
56 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
57
58 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
59 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
60
61 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
62 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
63
64
65 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
66
67 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
68 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
69 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
70 default.
71
72 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
73 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
74
75 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
76 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
77
78 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
79 creating a new sampler channel.
80
81 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
82
83 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
84 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
85 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
86 first time).
87
88 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
89 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
90
91 * Added Windows file path support.
92
93 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
94 under win32.
95
96 * Qt4 port of the application.
97
98
99 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
100
101 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
102 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
103 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
104 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
105
106 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
107 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
108 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
109 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
110
111 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
112 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
113 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
114
115 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
116
117
118 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
119
120 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
121 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
122 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
123
124 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
125
126 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
127 the session state, only at code-level.
128
129 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
130 existing instrument file name.
131
132 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
133 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
134 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
135 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
136 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
137 corrected some tooltip text strings.
138
139 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
140 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
141 window managers.
142
143 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
144 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
145 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
146 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
147
148 * GPL address update.
149
150
151 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
152
153 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
154 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
155
156 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
157
158 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
159 installation paths have been added to configure command
160 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
161
162 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
163 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
164 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
165 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
166 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
167
168 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
169 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
170 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
171 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
172
173 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
174
175 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
176 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
177
178 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
179 title name prefix.
180
181 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
182 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
183 generated at configure time.
184
185 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
186 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
187 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
188 argument have some effect on X11.
189
190 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
191
192 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
193 compiled with -no-stl.
194
195
196 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
197
198 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
199 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
200 one, while on qjackctl).
201
202 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
203 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
204
205
206 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
207
208 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
209 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
210
211 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
212 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
213 info updates.
214
215 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
216 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
217 device dialog.
218
219 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
220
221 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
222 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
223 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
224 Mayat, for pointing these out).
225
226
227 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
228
229 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
230
231 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
232 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
233 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
234
235 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
236 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
237
238 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
239 an instrument.
240
241 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
242
243
244 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
245
246 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
247 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
248 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
249 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
250
251 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
252 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
253 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
254
255 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
256 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
257
258 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
259
260 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
261 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
262 change information are now also posted to messages window.
263
264 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
265 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
266 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
267 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
268
269 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
270 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
271 sampler instrument file.
272
273 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
274 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
275 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
276 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
277
278 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
279 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
280 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
281
282 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
283 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
284 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
285 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
286
287
288 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
289
290 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
291 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
292 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
293
294 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
295 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
296 following common user-interface guidelines.
297
298 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
299 control structures.
300
301 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
302
303 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
304 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
305 channel (omni mode).
306
307 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
308 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
309
310 * Minor configure fixes.
311
312
313 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
314
315 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
316
317 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
318 and on session file save.
319
320 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
321 on create time.
322
323 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
324
325
326 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
327
328 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
329 over the empty workspace area.
330
331 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
332 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
333 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
334 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
335
336 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
337 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
338
339 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
340 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
341
342 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
343 each sampler channel strip.
344
345 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
346 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
347
348 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
349 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
350
351 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
352 new sampler channel strip.
353
354 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
355 suggested in the following lines:
356
357 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
358 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
359 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
360 LOAD ENGINE ...
361 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
362 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
363
364
365 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
