8 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
9     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
10     wrong main widget hidden state.
11    
12 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
13    
14 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
15     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
16     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
17     targets (--enable-debug).
18    
19 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
20    
21 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
22     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
23     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
24    
25 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
26     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
27    
28 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
29     a menu separator has been added.
30 capela 2036
31 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
32     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
33    
34     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
35     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
36     lame green solid background :).
37    
38 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
39 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
40    
41 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
42 capela 2028
43    
44 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
45 schoenebeck 1626
46 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
47     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
48     ever may follow ;)
49    
50 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
51    
52 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
53     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
54     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
55     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
56     a sampler the next time.
57 schoenebeck 1803
58 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
59    
60 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
61    
62 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
63     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
64     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
65     (default none).
66 capela 1749
67 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
68     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
69     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
70    
71 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
72     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
73     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
74     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
75 capela 1740
76 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
77     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
78    
79 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
80     screwed.
81    
82 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
83     e.g. by other frontends.
84 schoenebeck 1702
85 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
86     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
87     (fixes segfault on device changes)
88    
89 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
90     "View" main menu.
91 schoenebeck 1698
92 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
93    
94 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
95    
96 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
97     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
98 capela 1637
99 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
100     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
101 schoenebeck 1626
102    
103 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
104 schoenebeck 1461
105 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
106     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
107     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
108     default.
109 schoenebeck 1527
110 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
111     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
112    
113 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
114     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
115    
116 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
117     creating a new sampler channel.
118    
119     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
120    
121 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
122     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
123     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
124     first time).
125    
126 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
127     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
128 schoenebeck 1486
129 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
130    
131 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
132     under win32.
133 schoenebeck 1493
134 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
135 schoenebeck 1461
136    
137 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
138 capela 1234
139 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
140     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
141 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
142     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
143 capela 1394
144 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
145     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
146     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
147     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
148    
149 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
150     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
151     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
152    
153 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
154    
155    
156 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
157 schoenebeck 736
158 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
159     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
160     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
161    
162 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
163    
164 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
165     the session state, only at code-level.
166 capela 1036
167 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
168 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.

170 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
171     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
172     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
173     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
174     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
175     corrected some tooltip text strings.
176 capela 971
177 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
178     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
179     window managers.
180    
181 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
182 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
183     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
184     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
185 capela 957
186 capela 969 * GPL address update.
187 capela 920
188    
189 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
190    
191     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
192     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
193    
194 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
195    
196 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
197     installation paths have been added to configure command
198     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
199    
200 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
201     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
202     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
203     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
204     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
205    
206     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
207     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
208     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
209     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
210    
211 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
212    
213 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
214     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
215    
216 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
217     title name prefix.
218    
219 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
220     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
221     generated at configure time.
222    
223 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
224     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
225     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
226 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
227    
228 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
229    
230 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
231     compiled with -no-stl.
232    
233

235 capela 653
236 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
237 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
238     one, while on qjackctl).
239 capela 653
240 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
241     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
242 capela 661
243 capela 662
244 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
245 capela 586
246 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
247 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
248 capela 619
249 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
250 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
251 capela 590 info updates.
252 capela 586
253 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
254     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
255     device dialog.
256 capela 586
257 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
258    
259 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
260     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
261     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
262 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
263 capela 590
264 capela 600
265 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
266 schoenebeck 519
267 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
268 capela 426
269 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
270 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
271 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
272 capela 567
273 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
274 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
275 capela 426
276 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
277 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
278 capela 567
279 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
280 capela 526
281    
282 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
283 capela 327
284 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
285     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
286     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
287     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
288    
289 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
290     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
291     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
292    
293     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
294     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
295    
296 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
297    
298     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
299     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
300     change information are now also posted to messages window.
301    
302 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
303     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
304     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
305     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
306    
307 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
308     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
309 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
310    
311 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
312     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
313     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
314     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
315    
316     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
317 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
318     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
319    
320 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
321 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
322 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
323     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
324 capela 327
325    
326 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
327 capela 115
328 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
329     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
330     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
331    
332 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
333     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
334     following common user-interface guidelines.
335    
336 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
337     control structures.
338    
339 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
340    
341     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
342     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
343 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
344 capela 255
345     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
346 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
347 capela 255
348     * Minor configure fixes.
349    
350    
351     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
352    
353 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
354    
355 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
356     and on session file save.
357 capela 145
358 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
359     on create time.
360 capela 161
361 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
362    
363    
364 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
365    
366 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
367     over the empty workspace area.
368 capela 130
369 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
370     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
371     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
372     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
373    
374 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
375     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
376    
377     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
378     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
379    
380 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
381     each sampler channel strip.
382 capela 115
383 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
384     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
385    
386     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
387 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
388    
389 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
390     new sampler channel strip.
391 capela 115
392     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
393     suggested in the following lines:
394    
395     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
396     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
397     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
398     LOAD ENGINE ...
399     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
400     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
401    
402    
403 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
