7 capela 2028
8 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
9     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
10    
11 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
12 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
13     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
14     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
15 capela 2108
16 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
17    
18 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
19     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
20     wrong main widget hidden state.
21    
22 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
23    
24 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
25     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
26     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
27     targets (--enable-debug).
28    
29 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
30    
31 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
32     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
33     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
34    
35 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
36     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
37    
38 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
39     a menu separator has been added.
40 capela 2036
41 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
42     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
43    
44     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
45     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
46     lame green solid background :).
47    
48 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
49 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
50    
51 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
52 capela 2028
53    
54 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
55 schoenebeck 1626
56 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
57     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
58     ever may follow ;)
59    
60 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
61    
62 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
63     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
64     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
65     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
66     a sampler the next time.
67 schoenebeck 1803
68 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
69    
70 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
71    
72 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
73     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
74     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
75     (default none).
76 capela 1749
77 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
78     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
79     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
80    
81 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
82     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
83     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
84     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
85 capela 1740
86 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
87     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
88    
89 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
90     screwed.
91    
92 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
93     e.g. by other frontends.
94 schoenebeck 1702
95 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
96     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
97     (fixes segfault on device changes)
98    
99 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
100     "View" main menu.
101 schoenebeck 1698
102 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
103    
104 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
105    
106 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
107     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
108 capela 1637
109 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
110     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
111 schoenebeck 1626
112    
113 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
114 schoenebeck 1461
115 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
116     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
117     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
118     default.
119 schoenebeck 1527
120 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
121     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
122    
123 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
124     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
125    
126 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
127     creating a new sampler channel.
128    
129     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
130    
131 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
132     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
133     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
134     first time).
135    
136 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
137     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
138 schoenebeck 1486
139 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
140    
141 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
142     under win32.
143 schoenebeck 1493
144 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
145 schoenebeck 1461
146    
147 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
148 capela 1234
149 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
150     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
151 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
152     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
153 capela 1394
154 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
155     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
156     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
157     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
158    
159 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
160     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
161     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
162    
163 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
164    
165    
166 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
167 schoenebeck 736
168 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
169     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
170     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
171    
172 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
173    
174 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
175     the session state, only at code-level.
176 capela 1036
177 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
178 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
179 capela 1016
180 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
181     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
182     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
183     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
184     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
185     corrected some tooltip text strings.
186 capela 971
187 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
188     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
189     window managers.
190    
191 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
192 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
193     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
194     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
195 capela 957
196 capela 969 * GPL address update.
197 capela 920
198    
199 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
200    
201     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
202     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
203    
204 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
205    
206 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
207     installation paths have been added to configure command
208     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
209    
210 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
211     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
212     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
213     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
214     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
215    
216     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
217     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
218     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
219     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
220    
221 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
222    
223 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
224     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
225    
226 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
227     title name prefix.
228    
229 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
230     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
231     generated at configure time.
232    
233 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
234     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
235     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
236 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
237    
238 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
239    
240 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
241     compiled with -no-stl.
242    
243    
244 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
245 capela 653
246 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
247 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
248     one, while on qjackctl).
249 capela 653
250 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
251     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
252 capela 661
253 capela 662
254 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
255 capela 586
256 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
257 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
258 capela 619
259 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
260 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
261 capela 590 info updates.
262 capela 586
263 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
264     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
265     device dialog.
266 capela 586
267 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
268    
269 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
270     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
271     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
272 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
273 capela 590
274 capela 600
275 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
276 schoenebeck 519
277 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
278 capela 426
279 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
280 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
281 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
282 capela 567
283 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
284 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
285 capela 426
286 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
287 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
288 capela 567
289 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
290 capela 526
291    
292 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
293 capela 327
294 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
295     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
296     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
297     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
298    
299 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
300     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
301     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
302    
303     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
304     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
305    
306 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
307    
308     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
309     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
310     change information are now also posted to messages window.
311    
312 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
313     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
314     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
315     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
316    
317 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
318     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
319 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
320    
321 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
322     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
323     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
324     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
325    
326     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
327 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
328     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
329    
330 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
331 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
332 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
333     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
334 capela 327
335    
336 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
337 capela 115
338 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
339     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
340     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
341    
342 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
343     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
344     following common user-interface guidelines.
345    
346 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
347     control structures.
348    
349 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
350    
351     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
352     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
353 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
354 capela 255
355     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
356 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
357 capela 255
358     * Minor configure fixes.
359    
360    
361     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
362    
363 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
364    
365 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
366     and on session file save.
367 capela 145
368 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
369     on create time.
370 capela 161
371 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
372    
373    
374 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
375    
376 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
377     over the empty workspace area.
378 capela 130
379 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
380     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
381     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
382     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
383    
384 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
385     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
386    
387     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
388     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
389    
390 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
391     each sampler channel strip.
392 capela 115
393 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
394     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
395    
396     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
397 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
398    
399 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
400     new sampler channel strip.
401 capela 115
402     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
403     suggested in the following lines:
404    
405     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
406     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
407     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
408     LOAD ENGINE ...
409     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
410     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
411    
412    
413 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
