ChangeLog |

|

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