7 capela 2028
8 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
9    
10 persson 2144 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows
11    
12     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
13     and make.
14    
15 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
16     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
17     Debian 6.
18    
19 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
20     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
21    
22 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
23 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
24     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
25     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
26 capela 2108
27 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
28    
29 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
30     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
31     wrong main widget hidden state.
32    
33 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
34    
35 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
36     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
37     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
38     targets (--enable-debug).
39    
40 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
41    
42 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
43     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
44     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
45    
46 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
47     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
48    
49 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
50     a menu separator has been added.
51 capela 2036
52 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
53     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
54    
55     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
56     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
57     lame green solid background :).
58    
59 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
60 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
61    
62 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
63 capela 2028
64    
65 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
66 schoenebeck 1626
67 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
68     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
69     ever may follow ;)
70    
71 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
72    
73 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
74     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
75     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
76     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
77     a sampler the next time.
78 schoenebeck 1803
79 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
80    
81 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
82    
83 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
84     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
85     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
86     (default none).
87 capela 1749
88 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
89     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
90     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
91    
92 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
93     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
94     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
95     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
96 capela 1740
97 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
98     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
99    
100 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
101     screwed.
102    
103 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
104     e.g. by other frontends.
105 schoenebeck 1702
106 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
107     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
108     (fixes segfault on device changes)
109    
110 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
111     "View" main menu.
112 schoenebeck 1698
113 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
114    
115 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
116    
117 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
118     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
119 capela 1637
120 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
121     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
122 schoenebeck 1626
123    
124 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
125 schoenebeck 1461
126 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
127     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
128     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
129     default.
130 schoenebeck 1527
131 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
132     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
133    
134 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
135     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
136    
137 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
138     creating a new sampler channel.
139    
140     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
141    
142 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
143     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
144     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
145     first time).
146    
147 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
148     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
149 schoenebeck 1486
150 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
151    
152 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
153     under win32.
154 schoenebeck 1493
155 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
156 schoenebeck 1461
157    
158 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
159 capela 1234
160 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
161     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
162 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
163     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
164 capela 1394
165 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
166     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
167     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
168     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
169    
170 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
171     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
172     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
173    
174 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
175    
176    
177 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
178 schoenebeck 736
179 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
180     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
181     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
182    
183 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
184    
185 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
186     the session state, only at code-level.
187 capela 1036
188 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
189 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
190 capela 1016
191 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
192     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
193     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
194     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
195     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
196     corrected some tooltip text strings.
197 capela 971
198 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
199     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
200     window managers.
201    
202 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
203 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
204     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
205     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
206 capela 957
207 capela 969 * GPL address update.
208 capela 920
209    
210 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
211    
212     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
213     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
214    
215 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
216    
217 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
218     installation paths have been added to configure command
219     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
220    
221 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
222     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
223     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
224     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
225     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
226    
227     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
228     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
229     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
230     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
231    
232 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
233    
234 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
235     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
236    
237 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
238     title name prefix.
239    
240 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
241     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
242     generated at configure time.
243    
244 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
245     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
246     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
247 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
248    
249 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
250    
251 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
252     compiled with -no-stl.
253    
254    
255 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
256 capela 653
257 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
258 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
259     one, while on qjackctl).
260 capela 653
261 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
262     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
263 capela 661
264 capela 662
265 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
266 capela 586
267 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
268 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
269 capela 619
270 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
271 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
272 capela 590 info updates.
273 capela 586
274 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
275     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
276     device dialog.
277 capela 586
278 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
279    
280 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
281     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
282     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
283 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
284 capela 590
285 capela 600
286 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
287 schoenebeck 519
288 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
289 capela 426
290 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
291 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
292 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
293 capela 567
294 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
295 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
296 capela 426
297 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
298 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
299 capela 567
300 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
301 capela 526
302    
303 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
304 capela 327
305 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
306     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
307     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
308     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
309    
310 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
311     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
312     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
313    
314     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
315     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
316    
317 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
318    
319     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
320     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
321     change information are now also posted to messages window.
322    
323 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
324     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
325     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
326     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
327    
328 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
329     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
330 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
331    
332 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
333     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
334     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
335     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
336    
337     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
338 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
339     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
340    
341 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
342 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
343 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
344     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
345 capela 327
346    
347 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
348 capela 115
349 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
350     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
351     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
352    
353 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
354     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
355     following common user-interface guidelines.
356    
357 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
358     control structures.
359    
360 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
361    
362     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
363     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
364 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
365 capela 255
366     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
367 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
368 capela 255
369     * Minor configure fixes.
370    
371    
372     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
373    
374 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
375    
376 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
377     and on session file save.
378 capela 145
379 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
380     on create time.
381 capela 161
382 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
383    
384    
385 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
386    
387 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
388     over the empty workspace area.
389 capela 130
390 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
391     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
392     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
393     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
394    
395 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
396     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
397    
398     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
399     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
400    
401 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
402     each sampler channel strip.
403 capela 115
404 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
405     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
406    
407     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
408 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
409    
410 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
411     new sampler channel strip.
412 capela 115
413     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
414     suggested in the following lines:
415    
416     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
417     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
418     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
419     LOAD ENGINE ...
420     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
421     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
422    
423    
424 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
