4     ChangeLog
5    
6 schoenebeck 1626 CVS HEAD
7    
8 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
9     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
10     (fixes segfault on device changes)
11    
12 schoenebeck 1698 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
13     main menu.
14    
15 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
16    
17 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
18    
19 capela 1637 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
20     particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
21    
22 schoenebeck 1626 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
23     whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
24    
25    
26 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
27 schoenebeck 1461
28 schoenebeck 1527 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
29     very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
30     name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
31    
32 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
33     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
34    
35 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
36     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
37    
38 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
39     creating a new sampler channel.
40    
41     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
42    
43 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
44     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
45     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
46     first time).
47    
48 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
49     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
50 schoenebeck 1486
51 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
52    
53 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
54     under win32.
55 schoenebeck 1493
56 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
57 schoenebeck 1461
58    
59 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
60 capela 1234
61 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
62     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
63 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
64     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
65 capela 1394
66 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
67     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
68     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
69     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
70    
71 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
72     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
73     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
74    
75 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
76    
77    
78 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
79 schoenebeck 736
80 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
81     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
82     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
83    
84 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
85    
86 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
87     the session state, only at code-level.
88 capela 1036
89 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
90 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
91 capela 1016
92 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
93     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
94     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
95     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
96     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
97     corrected some tooltip text strings.
98 capela 971
99 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
100     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
101     window managers.
102    
103 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
104 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
105     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
106     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
107 capela 957
108 capela 969 * GPL address update.
109 capela 920
110    
111 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
112    
113     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
114     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
115    
116 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
117    
118 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
119     installation paths have been added to configure command
120     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
121    
122 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
123     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
124     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
125     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
126     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
127    
128     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
129     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
130     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
131     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
132    
133 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
134    
135 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
136     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
137    
138 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
139     title name prefix.
140    
141 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
142     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
143     generated at configure time.
144    
145 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
146     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
147     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
148 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
149    
150 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
151    
152 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
153     compiled with -no-stl.
154    
155    
156 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
157 capela 653
158 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
159 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
160     one, while on qjackctl).
161 capela 653
162 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
163     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
164 capela 661
165 capela 662

169 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
170 capela 619
171 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
172 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
173 capela 590 info updates.
174 capela 586
175 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
176     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
177     device dialog.
178 capela 586
179 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
180    
181 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
182     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
183     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
184 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
185 capela 590
186 capela 600
187 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
188 schoenebeck 519
189 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
190 capela 426
191 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
192 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
193 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
194 capela 567
195 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
196 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
197 capela 426
198 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
199 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
200 capela 567
201 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
202 capela 526
203    
204 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
205 capela 327
206 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
207     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
208     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
209     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
210    
211 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
212     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
213     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
214    
215     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
216     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
217    
218 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
219    
220     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
221     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
222     change information are now also posted to messages window.
223    
224 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
225     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
226     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
227     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
228    
229 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
230     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
231 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
232    
233 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
234     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
235     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
236     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
237    
238     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
239 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
240     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
241    
242 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
243 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
244 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
245     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
246 capela 327
247    
248 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
249 capela 115
250 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
251     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
252     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
253    
254 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
255     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
256     following common user-interface guidelines.
257    
258 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
259     control structures.
260    
261 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
262    
263     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
264     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
265 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
266 capela 255
267     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
268 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
269 capela 255
270     * Minor configure fixes.
271    
272    
273     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
274    
275 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
276    
277 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
278     and on session file save.
279 capela 145
280 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
281     on create time.
282 capela 161
283 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
284    
285    
286 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
287    
288 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
289     over the empty workspace area.
290 capela 130
291 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
292     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
293     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
294     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
295    
296 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
297     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
298    
299     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
300     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
301    
302 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
303     each sampler channel strip.
304 capela 115
305 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
306     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
307    
308     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
309 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
310    
311 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
312     new sampler channel strip.
313 capela 115
314     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
315     suggested in the following lines:
316    
317     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
318     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
319     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
320     LOAD ENGINE ...
321     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
322     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
323    
324    
325 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
