6 capela 2038 SVN TRUNK
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
9 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
10     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
11     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
12 capela 2108
13 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
14    
15 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
16     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
17     wrong main widget hidden state.
18    
19 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
20    
21 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
22     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
23     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
24     targets (--enable-debug).
25    
26 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
27    
28 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
29     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
30     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
31    
32 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
33     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
34    
35 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
36     a menu separator has been added.
37 capela 2036
38 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
39     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
40    
41     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
42     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
43     lame green solid background :).
44    
45 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
46 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
47    
48 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
49 capela 2028
50    
51 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
52 schoenebeck 1626
53 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
54     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
55     ever may follow ;)
56    
57 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
58    
59 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
60     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
61     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
62     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
63     a sampler the next time.
64 schoenebeck 1803
65 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
66    
67 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
68    
69 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
70     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
71     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
72     (default none).
73 capela 1749
74 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
75     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
76     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
77    
78 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
79     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
80     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
81     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
82 capela 1740
83 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
84     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
85    
86 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
87     screwed.
88    
89 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
90     e.g. by other frontends.
91 schoenebeck 1702
92 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
93     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
94     (fixes segfault on device changes)
95    
96 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
97     "View" main menu.
98 schoenebeck 1698
99 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
100    
101 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
102    
103 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
104     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
105 capela 1637
106 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
107     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
108 schoenebeck 1626
109    
110 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
111 schoenebeck 1461
112 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
113     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
114     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
115     default.
116 schoenebeck 1527
117 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
118     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
119    
120 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
121     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
122    
123 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
124     creating a new sampler channel.
125    
126     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
127    
128 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
129     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
130     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
131     first time).
132    
133 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
134     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
135 schoenebeck 1486
136 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
137    
138 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
139     under win32.
140 schoenebeck 1493
141 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
142 schoenebeck 1461
143    
144 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
145 capela 1234
146 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
147     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
148 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
149     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
150 capela 1394
151 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
152     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
153     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
154     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
155    
156 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
157     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
158     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
159    
160 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
161    
162    
163 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
164 schoenebeck 736
165 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
166     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
167     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
168    
169 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
170    
171 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
172     the session state, only at code-level.
173 capela 1036
174 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
175 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.

177 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
178     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
179     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
180     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
181     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
182     corrected some tooltip text strings.
183 capela 971
184 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
185     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
186     window managers.
187    
188 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
189 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
190     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
191     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
192 capela 957
193 capela 969 * GPL address update.
194 capela 920
195    
196 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
197    
198     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
199     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
200    
201 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
202    
203 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
204     installation paths have been added to configure command
205     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
206    
207 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
208     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
209     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
210     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
211     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
212    
213     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
214     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
215     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
216     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
217    
218 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
219    
220 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
221     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
222    
223 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
224     title name prefix.
225    
226 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
227     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
228     generated at configure time.
229    
230 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
231     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
232     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
233 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
234    
235 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
236    
237 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
238     compiled with -no-stl.
239    
240

242 capela 653
243 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
244 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
245     one, while on qjackctl).
246 capela 653
247 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
248     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
249 capela 661
250 capela 662
251 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
252 capela 586
253 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
254 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
255 capela 619
256 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
257 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
258 capela 590 info updates.
259 capela 586
260 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
261     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
262     device dialog.
263 capela 586
264 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
265    
266 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
267     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
268     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
269 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
270 capela 590
271 capela 600
272 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
273 schoenebeck 519
274 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
275 capela 426
276 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
277 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
278 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
279 capela 567
280 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
281 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
282 capela 426
283 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
284 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
285 capela 567
286 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
287 capela 526
288    
289 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
290 capela 327
291 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
292     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
293     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
294     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
295    
296 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
297     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
298     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
299    
300     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
301     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
302    
303 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
304    
305     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
306     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
307     change information are now also posted to messages window.
308    
309 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
310     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
311     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
312     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
313    
314 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
315     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
316 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
317    
318 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
319     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
320     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
321     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
322    
323     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
324 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
325     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
326    
327 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
328 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
329 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
330     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
331 capela 327
332    
333 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
334 capela 115
335 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
336     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
337     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
338    
339 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
340     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
341     following common user-interface guidelines.
342    
343 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
344     control structures.
345    
346 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
347    
348     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
349     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
350 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
351 capela 255
352     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
353 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
354 capela 255
355     * Minor configure fixes.
356    
357    
358     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
359    
360 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
361    
362 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
363     and on session file save.
364 capela 145
365 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
366     on create time.
367 capela 161
368 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
369    
370    
371 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
372    
373 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
374     over the empty workspace area.
375 capela 130
376 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
377     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
378     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
379     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
380    
381 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
382     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
383    
384     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
385     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
386    
387 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
388     each sampler channel strip.
389 capela 115
390 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
391     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
392    
393     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
394 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
395    
396 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
397     new sampler channel strip.
398 capela 115
399     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
400     suggested in the following lines:
401    
402     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
403     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
404     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
405     LOAD ENGINE ...
406     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
407     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
408    
409
