6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
9    
10 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
11     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
12     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
13    
14 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
15     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
16    
17 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
18     a menu separator has been added.
19 capela 2036
20 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
21     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
22    
23     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
24     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
25     lame green solid background :).
26    
27 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
28 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
29    
30 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
31 capela 2028
32    
33 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
34 schoenebeck 1626
35 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
36     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
37     ever may follow ;)
38    
39 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
40    
41 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
42     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
43     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
44     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
45     a sampler the next time.
46 schoenebeck 1803
47 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
48    
49 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
50    
51 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
52     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
53     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
54     (default none).
55 capela 1749
56 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
57     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
58     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
59    
60 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
61     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
62     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
63     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
64 capela 1740
65 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
66     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
67    
68 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
69     screwed.
70    
71 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
72     e.g. by other frontends.
73 schoenebeck 1702
74 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
75     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
76     (fixes segfault on device changes)
77    
78 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
79     "View" main menu.
80 schoenebeck 1698
81 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
82    
83 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
84    
85 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
86     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
87 capela 1637
88 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
89     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
90 schoenebeck 1626
91    
92 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
93 schoenebeck 1461
94 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
95     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
96     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
97     default.
98 schoenebeck 1527
99 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
100     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
101    
102 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
103     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
104    
105 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
106     creating a new sampler channel.
107    
108     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
109    
110 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
111     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
112     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
113     first time).
114    
115 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
116     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
117 schoenebeck 1486
118 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
119    
120 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
121     under win32.
122 schoenebeck 1493
123 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
124 schoenebeck 1461
125    
126 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
127 capela 1234
128 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
129     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
130 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
131     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
132 capela 1394
133 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
134     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
135     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
136     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
137    
138 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
139     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
140     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
141    
142 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
143    
144    
145 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
146 schoenebeck 736
147 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
148     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
149     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
150    
151 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
152    
153 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
154     the session state, only at code-level.
155 capela 1036
156 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
157 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
158 capela 1016
159 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
160     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
161     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
162     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
163     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
164     corrected some tooltip text strings.
165 capela 971
166 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
167     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
168     window managers.
169    
170 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
171 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
172     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
173     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
174 capela 957
175 capela 969 * GPL address update.
176 capela 920
177    
178 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
179    
180     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
181     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
182    
183 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
184    
185 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
186     installation paths have been added to configure command
187     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
188    
189 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
190     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
191     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
192     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
193     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
194    
195     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
196     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
197     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
198     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
199    
200 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
201    
202 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
203     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
204    
205 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
206     title name prefix.
207    
208 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
209     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
210     generated at configure time.
211    
212 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
213     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
214     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
215 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
216    
217 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
218    
219 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
220     compiled with -no-stl.
221    
222

224 capela 653
225 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
226 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
227     one, while on qjackctl).
228 capela 653
229 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
230     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
231 capela 661
232 capela 662
233 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
234 capela 586

236 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
237 capela 619
238 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
239 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
240 capela 590 info updates.
241 capela 586
242 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
243     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
244     device dialog.
245 capela 586
246 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
247    
248 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
249     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
250     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
251 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
252 capela 590
253 capela 600
254 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
255 schoenebeck 519
256 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
257 capela 426
258 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
259 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
260 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
261 capela 567
262 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
263 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
264 capela 426
265 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
266 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
267 capela 567
268 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
269 capela 526
270    
271 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
272 capela 327
273 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
274     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
275     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
276     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
277    
278 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
279     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
280     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
281    
282     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
283     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
284    
285 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
286    
287     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
288     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
289     change information are now also posted to messages window.
290    
291 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
292     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
293     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
294     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
295    
296 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
297     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
298 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
299    
300 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
301     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
302     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
303     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
304    
305     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
306 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
307     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
308    
309 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
310 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
311 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
312     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
313 capela 327
314    
315 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
316 capela 115
317 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
318     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
319     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
320    
321 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
322     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
323     following common user-interface guidelines.
324    
325 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
326     control structures.
327    
328 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
329    
330     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
331     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
332 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
333 capela 255
334     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
335 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
336 capela 255
337     * Minor configure fixes.
338    
339    
340     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
341    
342 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
343    
344 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
345     and on session file save.
346 capela 145
347 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
348     on create time.
349 capela 161
350 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
351    
352    
353 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
354    
355 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
356     over the empty workspace area.
357 capela 130
358 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
359     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
360     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
361     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
362    
363 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
364     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
365    
366     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
367     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
368    
369 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
370     each sampler channel strip.
371 capela 115
372 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
373     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
374    
375     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
376 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
377    
378 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
379     new sampler channel strip.
380 capela 115
381     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
382     suggested in the following lines:
383    
384     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
385     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
386     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
387     LOAD ENGINE ...
388     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
389     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
390    
391    
392 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
