8 persson 2144 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows
9    
10     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
11     and make.
12    
13 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
14     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
15     Debian 6.
16    
17 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
18     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
19    
20 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
21 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
22     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
23     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
24 capela 2108
25 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
26    
27 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
28     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
29     wrong main widget hidden state.
30    
31 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
32    
33 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
34     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
35     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
36     targets (--enable-debug).
37    
38 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
39    
40 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
41     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
42     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
43    
44 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
45     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
46    
47 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
48     a menu separator has been added.
49 capela 2036
50 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
51     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
52    
53     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
54     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
55     lame green solid background :).
56    
57 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
58 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
59    
60 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
61 capela 2028
62    
63 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
64 schoenebeck 1626
65 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
66     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
67     ever may follow ;)
68    
69 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
70    
71 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
72     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
73     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
74     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
75     a sampler the next time.
76 schoenebeck 1803
77 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
78    
79 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
80    
81 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
82     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
83     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
84     (default none).
85 capela 1749
86 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
87     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
88     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
89    
90 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
91     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
92     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
93     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
94 capela 1740
95 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
96     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
97    
98 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
99     screwed.
100    
101 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
102     e.g. by other frontends.
103 schoenebeck 1702
104 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
105     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
106     (fixes segfault on device changes)
107    
108 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
109     "View" main menu.
110 schoenebeck 1698
111 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
112    
113 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
114    
115 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
116     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
117 capela 1637
118 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
119     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
120 schoenebeck 1626
121    
122 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
123 schoenebeck 1461
124 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
125     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
126     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
127     default.
128 schoenebeck 1527
129 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
130     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
131    
132 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
133     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
134    
135 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
136     creating a new sampler channel.
137    
138     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
139    
140 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
141     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
142     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
143     first time).
144    
145 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
146     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
147 schoenebeck 1486
148 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
149    
150 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
151     under win32.
152 schoenebeck 1493
153 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
154 schoenebeck 1461
155    
156 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
157 capela 1234
158 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
159     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
160 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
161     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
162 capela 1394
163 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
164     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
165     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
166     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
167    
168 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
169     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
170     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
171    
172 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
173    
174    
175 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
176 schoenebeck 736
177 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
178     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
179     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
180    
181 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
182    
183 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
184     the session state, only at code-level.
185 capela 1036
186 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
187 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
188 capela 1016
189 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
190     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
191     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
192     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
193     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
194     corrected some tooltip text strings.
195 capela 971
196 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
197     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
198     window managers.
199    
200 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
201 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
202     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
203     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
204 capela 957
205 capela 969 * GPL address update.
206 capela 920
207    
208 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
209    
210     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
211     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
212    
213 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
214    
215 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
216     installation paths have been added to configure command
217     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
218    
219 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
220     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
221     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
222     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
223     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
224    
225     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
226     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
227     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
228     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
229    
230 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
231    
232 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
233     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
234    
235 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
236     title name prefix.
237    
238 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
239     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
240     generated at configure time.
241    
242 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
243     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
244     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
245 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
246    
247 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
248    
249 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
250     compiled with -no-stl.
251    
252    
253 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
254 capela 653
255 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
256 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
257     one, while on qjackctl).
258 capela 653
259 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
260     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
261 capela 661
262 capela 662
263 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
264 capela 586
265 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
266 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
267 capela 619
268 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
269 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
270 capela 590 info updates.
271 capela 586
272 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
273     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
274     device dialog.
275 capela 586
276 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
277    
278 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
279     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
280     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
281 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
282 capela 590
283 capela 600
284 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
285 schoenebeck 519
286 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
287 capela 426
288 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
289 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
290 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
291 capela 567
292 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
293 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
294 capela 426
295 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
296 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
297 capela 567
298 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
299 capela 526
300    
301 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
302 capela 327
303 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
304     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
305     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
306     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
307    
308 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
309     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
310     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
311    
312     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
313     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
314    
315 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
316    
317     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
318     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
319     change information are now also posted to messages window.
320    
321 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
322     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
323     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
324     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
325    
326 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
327     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
328 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
329    
330 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
331     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
332     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
333     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
334    
335     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
336 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
337     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
338    
339 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
340 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
341 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
342     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
343 capela 327
344    
345 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
346 capela 115
347 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
348     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
349     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
350    
351 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
352     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
353     following common user-interface guidelines.
354    
355 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
356     control structures.
357    
358 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
359    
360     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
361     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
362 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
363 capela 255
364     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
365 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
366 capela 255
367     * Minor configure fixes.
368    
369    
370     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
371    
372 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
373    
374 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
375     and on session file save.
376 capela 145
377 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
378     on create time.
379 capela 161
380 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
381    
382    
383 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
384    
385 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
386     over the empty workspace area.
387 capela 130
388 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
389     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
390     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
391     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
392    
393 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
394     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
395    
396     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
397     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
398    
399 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
400     each sampler channel strip.
401 capela 115
402 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
403     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
404    
405     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
406 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
407    
408 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
409     new sampler channel strip.
410 capela 115
411     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
412     suggested in the following lines:
413    
414     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
415     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
416     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
417     LOAD ENGINE ...
418     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
419     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
420    
421    
422 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
