8 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
9    
10 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
11     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
12 capela 2282
13 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
14 persson 2210
15 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
16 persson 2210
17 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
18    
19 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
20 persson 2144
21     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
22     and make.
23    
24 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
25     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
26     Debian 6.
27    
28 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
29     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
30    
31 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
32 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
33     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
34     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
35 capela 2108
36 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
37    
38 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
39     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
40     wrong main widget hidden state.
41    
42 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
43    
44 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
45     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
46     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
47     targets (--enable-debug).
48    
49 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
50    
51 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
52     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
53     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
54    
55 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
56     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
57    
58 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
59     a menu separator has been added.
60 capela 2036
61 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
62     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
63    
64     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
65     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
66     lame green solid background :).
67    
68 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
69 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
70    
71 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
72 capela 2028
73    
74 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
75 schoenebeck 1626
76 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
77     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
78     ever may follow ;)
79    
80 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
81    
82 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
83     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
84     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
85     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
86     a sampler the next time.
87 schoenebeck 1803
88 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
89    
90 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
91    
92 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
93     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
94     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
95     (default none).
96 capela 1749
97 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
98     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
99     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
100    
101 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
102     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
103     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
104     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
105 capela 1740
106 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
107     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
108    
109 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
110     screwed.
111    
112 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
113     e.g. by other frontends.
114 schoenebeck 1702
115 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
116     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
117     (fixes segfault on device changes)
118    
119 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
120     "View" main menu.
121 schoenebeck 1698
122 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
123    
124 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
125    
126 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
127     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
128 capela 1637
129 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
130     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
131 schoenebeck 1626
132    
133 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
134 schoenebeck 1461
135 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
136     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
137     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
138     default.
139 schoenebeck 1527
140 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
141     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
142    
143 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
144     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
145    
146 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
147     creating a new sampler channel.
148    
149     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
150    
151 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
152     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
153     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
154     first time).
155    
156 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
157     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
158 schoenebeck 1486
159 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
160    
161 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
162     under win32.
163 schoenebeck 1493
164 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
165 schoenebeck 1461
166    
167 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
168 capela 1234
169 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
170     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
171 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
172     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
173 capela 1394
174 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
175     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
176     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
177     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
178    
179 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
180     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
181     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
182    
183 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
184    
185    
186 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
187 schoenebeck 736
188 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
189     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
190     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
191    
192 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
193    
194 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
195     the session state, only at code-level.
196 capela 1036
197 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
198 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
199 capela 1016
200 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
201     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
202     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
203     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
204     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
205     corrected some tooltip text strings.
206 capela 971
207 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
208     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
209     window managers.
210    
211 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
212 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
213     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
214     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
215 capela 957
216 capela 969 * GPL address update.
217 capela 920
218    
219 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
220    
221     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
222     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
223    
224 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
225    
226 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
227     installation paths have been added to configure command
228     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
229    
230 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
231     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
232     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
233     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
234     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
235    
236     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
237     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
238     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
239     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
240    
241 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
242    
243 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
244     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
245    
246 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
247     title name prefix.
248    
249 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
250     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
251     generated at configure time.
252    
253 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
254     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
255     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
256 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
257    
258 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
259    
260 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
261     compiled with -no-stl.
262    
263    
264 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
265 capela 653
266 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
267 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
268     one, while on qjackctl).
269 capela 653
270 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
271     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
272 capela 661
273 capela 662
274 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
275 capela 586
276 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
277 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
278 capela 619
279 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
280 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
281 capela 590 info updates.
282 capela 586
283 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
284     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
285     device dialog.
286 capela 586
287 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
288    
289 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
290     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
291     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
292 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
293 capela 590
294 capela 600
295 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
296 schoenebeck 519
297 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
298 capela 426
299 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
300 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
301 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
302 capela 567
303 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
304 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
305 capela 426
306 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
307 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
308 capela 567
309 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
310 capela 526
311    
312 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
313 capela 327
314 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
315     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
316     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
317     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
318    
319 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
320     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
321     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
322    
323     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
324     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
325    
326 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
327    
328     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
329     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
330     change information are now also posted to messages window.
331    
332 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
333     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
334     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
335     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
336    
337 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
338     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
339 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
340    
341 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
342     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
343     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
344     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
345    
346     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
347 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
348     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
349    
350 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
351 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
352 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
353     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
354 capela 327
355    
356 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
357 capela 115
358 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
359     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
360     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
361    
362 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
363     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
364     following common user-interface guidelines.
365    
366 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
367     control structures.
368    
369 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
370    
371     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
372     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
373 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
374 capela 255
375     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
376 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
377 capela 255
378     * Minor configure fixes.
379    
380    
381     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
382    
383 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
384    
385 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
386     and on session file save.
387 capela 145
388 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
389     on create time.
390 capela 161
391 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
392    
393    
394 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
395    
396 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
397     over the empty workspace area.
398 capela 130
399 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
400     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
401     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
402     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
403    
404 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
405     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
406    
407     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
408     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
409    
410 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
411     each sampler channel strip.
412 capela 115
413 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
414     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
415    
416     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
417 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
418    
419 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
420     new sampler channel strip.
421 capela 115
422     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
423     suggested in the following lines:
424    
425     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
426     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
427     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
428     LOAD ENGINE ...
429     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
430     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
431
