8 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
9    
10 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
11    
12 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
13     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
14 capela 2282
15 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
16 persson 2210
17 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
18 persson 2210
19 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
20    
21 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
22 persson 2144
23     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
24     and make.
25    
26 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
27     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
28     Debian 6.
29    
30 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
31     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
32    
33 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
34 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
35     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
36     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
37 capela 2108
38 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
39    
40 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
41     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
42     wrong main widget hidden state.
43    
44 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
45    
46 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
47     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
48     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
49     targets (--enable-debug).
50    
51 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
52    
53 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
54     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
55     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
56    
57 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
58     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
59    
60 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
61     a menu separator has been added.
62 capela 2036
63 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
64     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
65    
66     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
67     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
68     lame green solid background :).
69    
70 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
71 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
72    
73 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
74 capela 2028
75    
76 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
77 schoenebeck 1626
78 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
79     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
80     ever may follow ;)
81    
82 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
83    
84 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
85     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
86     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
87     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
88     a sampler the next time.
89 schoenebeck 1803
90 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
91    
92 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
93    
94 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
95     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
96     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
97     (default none).
98 capela 1749
99 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
100     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
101     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
102    
103 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
104     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
105     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
106     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
107 capela 1740
108 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
109     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
110    
111 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
112     screwed.
113    
114 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
115     e.g. by other frontends.
116 schoenebeck 1702
117 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
118     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
119     (fixes segfault on device changes)
120    
121 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
122     "View" main menu.
123 schoenebeck 1698
124 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
125    
126 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
127    
128 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
129     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
130 capela 1637
131 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
132     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
133 schoenebeck 1626
134    
135 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
136 schoenebeck 1461
137 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
138     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
139     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
140     default.
141 schoenebeck 1527
142 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
143     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
144    
145 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
146     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
147    
148 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
149     creating a new sampler channel.
150    
151     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
152    
153 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
154     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
155     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
156     first time).
157    
158 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
159     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
160 schoenebeck 1486
161 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
162    
163 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
164     under win32.
165 schoenebeck 1493
166 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
167 schoenebeck 1461
168    
169 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
170 capela 1234
171 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
172     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
173 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
174     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
175 capela 1394
176 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
177     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
178     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
179     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
180    
181 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
182     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
183     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
184    
185 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
186    
187    
188 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
189 schoenebeck 736
190 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
191     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
192     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
193    
194 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
195    
196 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
197     the session state, only at code-level.
198 capela 1036
199 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
200 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
201 capela 1016
202 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
203     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
204     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
205     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
206     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
207     corrected some tooltip text strings.
208 capela 971
209 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
210     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
211     window managers.
212    
213 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
214 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
215     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
216     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
217 capela 957
218 capela 969 * GPL address update.
219 capela 920
220    
221 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
222    
223     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
224     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
225    
226 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
227    
228 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
229     installation paths have been added to configure command
230     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
231    
232 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
233     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
234     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
235     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
236     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
237    
238     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
239     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
240     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
241     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
242    
243 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
244    
245 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
246     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
247    
248 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
249     title name prefix.
250    
251 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
252     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
253     generated at configure time.
254    
255 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
256     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
257     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
258 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
259    
260 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
261    
262 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
263     compiled with -no-stl.
264    
265    
266 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
267 capela 653
268 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
269 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
270     one, while on qjackctl).
271 capela 653
272 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
273     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
274 capela 661
275 capela 662
276 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
277 capela 586
278 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
279 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
280 capela 619
281 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
282 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
283 capela 590 info updates.
284 capela 586
285 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
286     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
287     device dialog.
288 capela 586
289 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
290    
291 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
292     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
293     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
294 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
295 capela 590
296 capela 600
297 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
298 schoenebeck 519
299 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
300 capela 426
301 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
302 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
303 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
304 capela 567
305 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
306 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
307 capela 426
308 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
309 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
310 capela 567
311 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
312 capela 526
313    
314 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
315 capela 327
316 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
317     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
318     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
319     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
320    
321 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
322     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
323     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
324    
325     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
326     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
327    
328 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
329    
330     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
331     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
332     change information are now also posted to messages window.
333    
334 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
335     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
336     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
337     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
338    
339 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
340     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
341 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
342    
343 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
344     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
345     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
346     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
347    
348     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
349 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
350     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
351    
352 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
353 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
354 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
355     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
356 capela 327
357    
358 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
359 capela 115
360 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
361     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
362     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
363    
364 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
365     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
366     following common user-interface guidelines.
367    
368 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
369     control structures.
370    
371 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
372    
373     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
374     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
375 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
376 capela 255
377     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
378 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
379 capela 255
380     * Minor configure fixes.
381    
382    
383     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
384    
385 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
386    
387 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
388     and on session file save.
389 capela 145
390 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
391     on create time.
392 capela 161
393 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
394    
395    
396 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
397    
398 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
399     over the empty workspace area.
400 capela 130
401 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
402     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
403     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
404     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
405    
406 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
407     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
408    
409     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
410     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
411    
412 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
413     each sampler channel strip.
414 capela 115
415 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
416     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
417    
418     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
419 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
420    
421 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
422     new sampler channel strip.
423 capela 115
424     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
425     suggested in the following lines:
426    
427     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
428     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
429     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
430     LOAD ENGINE ...
431     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
432     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
