5    
6 schoenebeck 1626 CVS HEAD
7    
8     * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
9     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
10    
11    
12 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
13 schoenebeck 1461
14 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
15     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
16     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
17    
18 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
19     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
20    
21 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
22     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
23    
24 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
25     creating a new sampler channel.
26    
27     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
28    
29 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
30     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
31     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
32     first time).
33    
34 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
35     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
36 schoenebeck 1486
37 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
38    
39 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
40     under win32.
41 schoenebeck 1493
42 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
43 schoenebeck 1461
44    
45 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
46 capela 1234
47 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
48     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
49 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
50     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
51 capela 1394
52 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
53     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
54     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
55     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
56    
57 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
58     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
59     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
60    
61 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
62    
63    
64 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
65 schoenebeck 736
66 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
67     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
68     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
69    
70 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
71    
72 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
73     the session state, only at code-level.
74 capela 1036
75 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
76 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
77 capela 1016
78 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
79     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
80     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
81     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
82     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
83     corrected some tooltip text strings.
84 capela 971
85 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
86     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
87     window managers.
88    
89 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
90 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
91     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
92     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
93 capela 957
94 capela 969 * GPL address update.
95 capela 920
96    
97 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
98    
99     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
100     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
101    
102 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
103    
104 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
105     installation paths have been added to configure command
106     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
107    
108 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
109     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
110     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
111     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
112     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
113    
114     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
115     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
116     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
117     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
118    
119 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
120    
121 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
122     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
123    
124 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
125     title name prefix.
126    
127 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
128     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
129     generated at configure time.
130    
131 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
132     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
133     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
134 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
135    
136 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
137    
138 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
139     compiled with -no-stl.
140    
141    
142 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
143 capela 653
144 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
145 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
146     one, while on qjackctl).
147 capela 653
148 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
149     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
150 capela 661
151 capela 662
152 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
153 capela 586
154 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
155 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
156 capela 619
157 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
158 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
159 capela 590 info updates.
160 capela 586
161 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
162     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
163     device dialog.
164 capela 586
165 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
166    
167 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
168     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
169     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
170 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
171 capela 590
172 capela 600
173 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
174 schoenebeck 519
175 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
176 capela 426
177 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
178 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
179 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
180 capela 567
181 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
182 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
183 capela 426
184 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
185 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
186 capela 567
187 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
188 capela 526
189    
190 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
191 capela 327
192 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
193     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
194     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
195     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
196    
197 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
198     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
199     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
200    
201     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
202     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
203    
204 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
205    
206     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
207     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
208     change information are now also posted to messages window.
209    
210 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
211     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
212     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
213     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
214    
215 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
216     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
217 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
218    
219 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
220     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
221     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
222     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
223    
224     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
225 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
226     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
227    
228 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
229 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
230 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
231     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
232 capela 327
233    
234 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
235 capela 115
236 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
237     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
238     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
239    
240 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
241     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
242     following common user-interface guidelines.
243    
244 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
245     control structures.
246    
247 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
248    
249     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
250     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
251 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
252 capela 255
253     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
254 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
255 capela 255
256     * Minor configure fixes.
257    
258    
259     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
260    
261 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
262    
263 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
264     and on session file save.
265 capela 145
266 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
267     on create time.
268 capela 161
269 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
270    
271    
272 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
273    
274 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
275     over the empty workspace area.
276 capela 130
277 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
278     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
279     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
280     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
281    
282 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
283     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
284    
285     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
286     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
287    
288 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
289     each sampler channel strip.
290 capela 115
291 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
292     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
293    
294     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
295 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
296    
297 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
298     new sampler channel strip.
299 capela 115
300     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
301     suggested in the following lines:
302    
303     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
304     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
305     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
306     LOAD ENGINE ...
307     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
308     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
309    
310    
311 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
