5    
6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
9    
10 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
11     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
12     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
13     targets (--enable-debug).
14    
15 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
16    
17 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
18     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
19     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
20    
21 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
22     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
23    
24 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
25     a menu separator has been added.
26 capela 2036
27 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
28     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
29    
30     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
31     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
32     lame green solid background :).
33    
34 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
35 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
36    
37 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
38 capela 2028
39    
40 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
41 schoenebeck 1626
42 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
43     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
44     ever may follow ;)
45    
46 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
47    
48 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
49     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
50     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
51     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
52     a sampler the next time.
53 schoenebeck 1803
54 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
55    
56 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
57    
58 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
59     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
60     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
61     (default none).
62 capela 1749
63 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
64     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
65     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
66    
67 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
68     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
69     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
70     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
71 capela 1740
72 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
73     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
74    
75 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
76     screwed.
77    
78 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
79     e.g. by other frontends.
80 schoenebeck 1702
81 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
82     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
83     (fixes segfault on device changes)
84    
85 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
86     "View" main menu.
87 schoenebeck 1698
88 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
89    
90 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
91    
92 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
93     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
94 capela 1637
95 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
96     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
97 schoenebeck 1626
98    
99 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
100 schoenebeck 1461
101 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
102     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
103     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
104     default.
105 schoenebeck 1527
106 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
107     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
108    
109 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
110     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
111    
112 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
113     creating a new sampler channel.
114    
115     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
116    
117 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
118     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
119     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
120     first time).
121    
122 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
123     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
124 schoenebeck 1486
125 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
126    
127 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
128     under win32.
129 schoenebeck 1493
130 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
131 schoenebeck 1461
132    
133 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
134 capela 1234
135 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
136     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
137 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
138     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
139 capela 1394
140 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
141     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
142     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
143     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
144    
145 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
146     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
147     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
148    
149 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
150    
151    
152 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
153 schoenebeck 736
154 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
155     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
156     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
157    
158 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
159    
160 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
161     the session state, only at code-level.
162 capela 1036
163 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
164 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
165 capela 1016
166 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
167     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
168     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
169     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
170     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
171     corrected some tooltip text strings.
172 capela 971
173 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
174     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
175     window managers.
176    
177 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
178 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
179     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
180     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
181 capela 957
182 capela 969 * GPL address update.
183 capela 920
184    
185 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
186    
187     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
188     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
189    
190 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
191    
192 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
193     installation paths have been added to configure command
194     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
195    
196 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
197     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
198     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
199     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
200     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
201    
202     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
203     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
204     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
205     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
206    
207 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
208    
209 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
210     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
211    
212 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
213     title name prefix.
214    
215 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
216     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
217     generated at configure time.
218    
219 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
220     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
221     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
222 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
223    
224 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
225    
226 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
227     compiled with -no-stl.
228    
229

231 capela 653
232 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
233 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
234     one, while on qjackctl).
235 capela 653
236 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
237     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
238 capela 661
239 capela 662
240 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
241 capela 586
242 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
243 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
244 capela 619
245 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
246 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
247 capela 590 info updates.
248 capela 586
249 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
250     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
251     device dialog.
252 capela 586
253 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
254    
255 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
256     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
257     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
258 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
259 capela 590
260 capela 600
261 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
262 schoenebeck 519
263 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
264 capela 426
265 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
266 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
267 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
268 capela 567
269 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
270 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
271 capela 426
272 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
273 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
274 capela 567
275 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
276 capela 526
277    
278 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
279 capela 327
280 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
281     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
282     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
283     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
284    
285 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
286     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
287     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
288    
289     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
290     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
291    
292 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
293    
294     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
295     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
296     change information are now also posted to messages window.
297    
298 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
299     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
300     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
301     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
302    
303 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
304     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
305 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
306    
307 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
308     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
309     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
310     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
311    
312     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
313 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
314     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
315    
316 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
317 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
318 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
319     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
320 capela 327
321    
322 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
323 capela 115
324 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
325     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
326     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
327    
328 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
329     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
330     following common user-interface guidelines.
331    
332 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
333     control structures.
334    
335 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
336    
337     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
338     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
339 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
340 capela 255
341     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
342 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
343 capela 255
344     * Minor configure fixes.
345    
346    
347     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
348    
349 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
350    
351 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
352     and on session file save.
353 capela 145
354 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
355     on create time.
356 capela 161
357 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
358    
359    
360 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
361    
362 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
363     over the empty workspace area.
364 capela 130
365 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
366     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
367     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
368     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
369    
370 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
371     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
372    
373     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
374     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
375    
376 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
377     each sampler channel strip.
378 capela 115
379 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
380     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
381    
382     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
383 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
384    
385 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
386     new sampler channel strip.
387 capela 115
388     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
389     suggested in the following lines:
390    
391     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
392     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
393     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
394     LOAD ENGINE ...
395     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
396     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
397    
398    
399 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
