7    
8 capela 2036 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips is now implemented as
9     a flashing green LED, instead of a lame solid background :).
10    
11     * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
12 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
13    
14 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
15 capela 2028
16    
17 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
18 schoenebeck 1626
19 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
20     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
21     ever may follow ;)
22    
23 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
24    
25 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
26     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
27     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
28     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
29     a sampler the next time.
30 schoenebeck 1803
31 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
32    
33 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
34    
35 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
36     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
37     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
38     (default none).
39 capela 1749
40 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
41     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
42     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
43    
44 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
45     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
46     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
47     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
48 capela 1740
49 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
50     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
51    
52 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
53     screwed.
54    
55 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
56     e.g. by other frontends.
57 schoenebeck 1702
58 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
59     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
60     (fixes segfault on device changes)
61    
62 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
63     "View" main menu.
64 schoenebeck 1698
65 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
66    
67 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
68    
69 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
70     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
71 capela 1637
72 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
73     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
74 schoenebeck 1626
75    
76 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
77 schoenebeck 1461
78 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
79     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
80     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
81     default.
82 schoenebeck 1527
83 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
84     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
85    
86 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
87     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
88    
89 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
90     creating a new sampler channel.
91    
92     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
93    
94 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
95     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
96     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
97     first time).
98    
99 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
100     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
101 schoenebeck 1486
102 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
103    
104 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
105     under win32.
106 schoenebeck 1493
107 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
108 schoenebeck 1461
109    
110 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
111 capela 1234
112 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
113     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
114 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
115     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
116 capela 1394
117 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
118     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
119     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
120     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
121    
122 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
123     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
124     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
125    
126 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
127    
128    
129 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
130 schoenebeck 736
131 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
132     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
133     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
134    
135 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
136    
137 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
138     the session state, only at code-level.
139 capela 1036

141 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
142 capela 1016
143 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
144     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
145     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
146     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
147     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
148     corrected some tooltip text strings.
149 capela 971
150 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
151     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
152     window managers.
153    
154 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
155 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
156     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
157     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
158 capela 957
159 capela 969 * GPL address update.
160 capela 920
161    
162 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
163    
164     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
165     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
166    
167 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
168    
169 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
170     installation paths have been added to configure command
171     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
172    
173 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
174     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
175     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
176     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
177     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
178    
179     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
180     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
181     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
182     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
183    
184 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
185    
186 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
187     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
188    
189 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
190     title name prefix.
191    
192 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
193     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
194     generated at configure time.
195    
196 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
197     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
198     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
199 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
200    
201 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
202    
203 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
204     compiled with -no-stl.
205

208 capela 653
209 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
210 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
211     one, while on qjackctl).
212 capela 653
213 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
214     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
215 capela 661
216 capela 662
217 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
218 capela 586

220 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
221 capela 619
222 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
223 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
224 capela 590 info updates.
225 capela 586
226 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
227     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
228     device dialog.
229 capela 586
230 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
231    
232 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
233     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
234     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
235 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
236 capela 590
237 capela 600
238 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
239 schoenebeck 519
240 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
241 capela 426
242 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
243 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
244 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
245 capela 567
246 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
247 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
248 capela 426
249 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
250 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
251 capela 567
252 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
253 capela 526
254    
255 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
256 capela 327
257 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
258     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
259     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
260     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
261    
262 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
263     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
264     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
265    
266     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
267     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
268    
269 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
270    
271     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
272     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
273     change information are now also posted to messages window.
274    
275 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
276     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
277     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
278     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
279    
280 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
281     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
282 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
283    
284 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
285     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
286     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
287     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
288    
289     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
290 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
291     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
292    
293 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
294 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
295 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
296     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
297 capela 327
298    
299 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
300 capela 115
301 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
302     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
303     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
304    
305 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
306     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
307     following common user-interface guidelines.
308    
309 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
310     control structures.
311    
312 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
313    
314     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
315     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
316 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
317 capela 255
318     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
319 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
320 capela 255
321     * Minor configure fixes.
322    
323    
324     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
325    
326 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
327    
328 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
329     and on session file save.
330 capela 145
331 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
332     on create time.
333 capela 161
334 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
335    
336    
337 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
338    
339 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
340     over the empty workspace area.
341 capela 130
342 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
343     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
344     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
345     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
346    
347 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
348     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
349    
350     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
351     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
352    
353 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
354     each sampler channel strip.
355 capela 115
356 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
357     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
358    
359     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
360 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
361    
362 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
363     new sampler channel strip.
364 capela 115
365     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
366     suggested in the following lines:
367    
368     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
369     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
370     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
371     LOAD ENGINE ...
372     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
373     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
374    
375    
376 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
