5    
6 schoenebeck 1626 CVS HEAD
7    
8 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
9     main menu.
10    
11 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
12    
13 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
14    
15 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
16     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
17    
18 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
19     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
20    
21    
22 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
23 schoenebeck 1461
24 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
25     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
26     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
27    
28 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
29     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
30    
31 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
32     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
33    
34 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
35     creating a new sampler channel.
36    
37     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
38    
39 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
40     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
41     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
42     first time).
43    
44 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
45     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
46 schoenebeck 1486
47 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
48    
49 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
50     under win32.
51 schoenebeck 1493
52 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
53 schoenebeck 1461
54    
55 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
56 capela 1234
57 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
58     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
59 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
60     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
61 capela 1394
62 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
63     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
64     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
65     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
66    
67 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
68     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
69     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
70    
71 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
72    
73    
74 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
75 schoenebeck 736
76 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
77     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
78     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
79    
80 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
81    
82 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
83     the session state, only at code-level.
84 capela 1036
85 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
86 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
87 capela 1016
88 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
89     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
90     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
91     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
92     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
93     corrected some tooltip text strings.
94 capela 971
95 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
96     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
97     window managers.
98    
99 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
100 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
101     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
102     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
103 capela 957
104 capela 969 * GPL address update.
105 capela 920
106    
107 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
108    
109     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
110     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
111    
112 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
113    
114 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
115     installation paths have been added to configure command
116     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
117    
118 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
119     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
120     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
121     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
122     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
123    
124     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
125     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
126     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
127     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
128    
129 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
130    
131 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
132     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
133    
134 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
135     title name prefix.
136    
137 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
138     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
139     generated at configure time.
140    
141 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
142     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
143     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
144 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
145    
146 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
147    
148 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
149     compiled with -no-stl.
150    
151    
152 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
153 capela 653
154 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
155 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
156     one, while on qjackctl).
157 capela 653
158 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
159     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
160 capela 661
161 capela 662
162 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
163 capela 586
164 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
165 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
166 capela 619
167 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
168 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
169 capela 590 info updates.
170 capela 586
171 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
172     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
173     device dialog.
174 capela 586
175 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
176    
177 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
178     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
179     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
180 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
181 capela 590
182 capela 600
183 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
184 schoenebeck 519
185 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
186 capela 426
187 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
188 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
189 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
190 capela 567
191 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
192 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
193 capela 426
194 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
195 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
196 capela 567
197 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
198 capela 526
199    
200 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
201 capela 327
202 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
203     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
204     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
205     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
206    
207 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
208     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
209     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
210    
211     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
212     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
213    
214 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
215    
216     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
217     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
218     change information are now also posted to messages window.
219    
220 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
221     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
222     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
223     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
224    
225 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
226     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
227 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
228    
229 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
230     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
231     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
232     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
233    
234     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
235 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
236     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
237    
238 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
239 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
240 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
241     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
242 capela 327
243    
244 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
245 capela 115
246 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
247     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
248     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
249    
250 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
251     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
252     following common user-interface guidelines.
253    
254 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
255     control structures.
256    
257 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
258    
259     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
260     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
261 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
262 capela 255
263     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
264 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
265 capela 255
266     * Minor configure fixes.
267    
268    
269     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
270    
271 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
272    
273 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
274     and on session file save.
275 capela 145
276 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
277     on create time.
278 capela 161
279 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
280    
281    
282 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
283    
284 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
285     over the empty workspace area.
286 capela 130
287 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
288     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
289     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
290     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
291    
292 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
293     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
294    
295     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
296     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
297    
298 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
299     each sampler channel strip.
300 capela 115
301 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
302     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
303    
304     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
305 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
306    
307 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
308     new sampler channel strip.
309 capela 115
310     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
311     suggested in the following lines:
312    
313     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
314     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
315     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
316     LOAD ENGINE ...
317     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
318     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
319    
320    
321 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
