* libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
  as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
  Debian 6.

8 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
9     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
10     Debian 6.
11    
12 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
13     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
14    
15 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
16 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
17     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
18     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
19 capela 2108
20 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
21    
22 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
23     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
24     wrong main widget hidden state.
25    
26 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
27    
28 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
29     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
30     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
31     targets (--enable-debug).
32    
33 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
34    
35 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
36     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
37     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
38    
39 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
40     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
41    
42 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
43     a menu separator has been added.
44 capela 2036
45 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
46     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
47    
48     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
49     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
50     lame green solid background :).
51    
52 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
53 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
54    
55 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
56 capela 2028
57    
58 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
59 schoenebeck 1626
60 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
61     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
62     ever may follow ;)
63    
64 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
65    
66 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
67     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
68     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
69     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
70     a sampler the next time.
71 schoenebeck 1803
72 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
73    
74 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
75    
76 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
77     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
78     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
79     (default none).
80 capela 1749
81 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
82     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
83     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
84    
85 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
86     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
87     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
88     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
89 capela 1740
90 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
91     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
92    
93 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
94     screwed.
95    
96 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
97     e.g. by other frontends.
98 schoenebeck 1702
99 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
100     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
101     (fixes segfault on device changes)
102    
103 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
104     "View" main menu.
105 schoenebeck 1698
106 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
107    
108 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
109    
110 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
111     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
112 capela 1637
113 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
114     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
115 schoenebeck 1626
116    
117 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
118 schoenebeck 1461
119 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
120     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
121     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
122     default.
123 schoenebeck 1527
124 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
125     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
126    
127 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
128     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
129    
130 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
131     creating a new sampler channel.
132    
133     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
134    
135 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
136     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
137     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
138     first time).
139    
140 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
141     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
142 schoenebeck 1486
143 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
144    
145 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
146     under win32.
147 schoenebeck 1493
148 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
149 schoenebeck 1461
150    
151 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
152 capela 1234
153 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
154     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
155 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
156     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
157 capela 1394
158 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
159     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
160     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
161     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
162    
163 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
164     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
165     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
166    
167 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
168    
169    
170 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
171 schoenebeck 736
172 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
173     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
174     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
175    
176 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
177    
178 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
179     the session state, only at code-level.
180 capela 1036
181 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
182 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
183 capela 1016
184 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
185     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
186     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
187     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
188     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
189     corrected some tooltip text strings.
190 capela 971
191 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
192     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
193     window managers.
194    
195 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
196 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
197     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
198     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
199 capela 957
200 capela 969 * GPL address update.
201 capela 920
202    
203 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
204    
205     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
206     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
207    
208 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
209    
210 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
211     installation paths have been added to configure command
212     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
213    
214 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
215     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
216     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
217     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
218     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
219    
220     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
221     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
222     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
223     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
224    
225 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
226    
227 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
228     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
229    
230 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
231     title name prefix.
232    
233 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
234     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
235     generated at configure time.
236    
237 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
238     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
239     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
240 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
241    
242 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
243    
244 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
245     compiled with -no-stl.
246    
247    
248 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
249 capela 653
250 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
251 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
252     one, while on qjackctl).
253 capela 653
254 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
255     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
256 capela 661
257 capela 662
258 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
259 capela 586
260 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
261 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
262 capela 619
263 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
264 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
265 capela 590 info updates.
266 capela 586
267 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
268     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
269     device dialog.
270 capela 586
271 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
272    
273 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
274     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
275     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
276 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
277 capela 590
278 capela 600
279 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
280 schoenebeck 519
281 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
282 capela 426
283 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
284 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
285 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
286 capela 567
287 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
288 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
289 capela 426
290 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
291 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
292 capela 567
293 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
294 capela 526
295    
296 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
297 capela 327
298 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
299     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
300     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
301     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
302    
303 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
304     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
305     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
306    
307     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
308     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
309    
310 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
311    
312     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
313     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
314     change information are now also posted to messages window.
315    
316 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
317     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
318     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
319     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
320    
321 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
322     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
323 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
324    
325 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
326     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
327     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
328     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
329    
330     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
331 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
332     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
333    
334 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
335 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
336 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
337     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
338 capela 327
339    
340 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
341 capela 115
342 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
343     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
344     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
345    
346 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
347     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
348     following common user-interface guidelines.
349    
350 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
351     control structures.
352    
353 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
354    
355     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
356     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
357 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
358 capela 255
359     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
360 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
361 capela 255
362     * Minor configure fixes.
363    
364    
365     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
366    
367 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
368    
369 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
370     and on session file save.
371 capela 145
372 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
373     on create time.
374 capela 161
375 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
376    
377    
378 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
379    
380 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
381     over the empty workspace area.
382 capela 130
383 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
384     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
385     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
386     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
387    
388 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
389     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
390    
391     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
392     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
393    
394 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
395     each sampler channel strip.
396 capela 115
397 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
398     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
399    
400     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
401 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
402    
403 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
404     new sampler channel strip.
405 capela 115
406     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
407     suggested in the following lines:
408    
409     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
410     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
411     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
412     LOAD ENGINE ...
413     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
414     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
415    
416    
417 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
