8 capela 2387 * Preparations for Qt5 migration. (TESTING)
9    
10 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
11    
12 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
13    
14 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
15     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
16 capela 2282
17 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
18 persson 2210
19 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
20 persson 2210
21 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
22    
23 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
24 persson 2144
25     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
26     and make.
27    
28 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
29     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
30     Debian 6.
31    
32 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
33     into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
34    
35 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
36 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
37     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
38     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
39 capela 2108
40 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
41    
42 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
43     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
44     wrong main widget hidden state.
45    
46 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
47    
48 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
49     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
50     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
51     targets (--enable-debug).
52    
53 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
54    
55 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
56     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
57     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
58    
59 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
60     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
61    
62 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
63     a menu separator has been added.
64 capela 2036
65 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
66     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
67    
68     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
69     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
70     lame green solid background :).
71    
72 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
73 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
74    
75 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
76 capela 2028
77    
78 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
79 schoenebeck 1626
80 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
81     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
82     ever may follow ;)
83    
84 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
85    
86 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
87     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
88     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
89     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
90     a sampler the next time.
91 schoenebeck 1803
92 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
93    
94 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
95    
96 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
97     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
98     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
99     (default none).
100 capela 1749
101 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
102     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
103     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
104    
105 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
106     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
107     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
108     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
109 capela 1740
110 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
111     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
112    
113 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
114     screwed.
115    
116 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
117     e.g. by other frontends.
118 schoenebeck 1702
119 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
120     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
121     (fixes segfault on device changes)
122    
123 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
124     "View" main menu.
125 schoenebeck 1698
126 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
127    
128 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
129    
130 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
131     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
132 capela 1637
133 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
134     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
135 schoenebeck 1626
136    
137 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
138 schoenebeck 1461
139 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
140     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
141     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
142     default.
143 schoenebeck 1527
144 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
145     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
146    
147 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
148     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
149    
150 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
151     creating a new sampler channel.
152    
153     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
154    
155 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
156     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
157     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
158     first time).
159    
160 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
161     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
162 schoenebeck 1486
163 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
164    
165 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
166     under win32.
167 schoenebeck 1493
168 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
169 schoenebeck 1461
170    
171 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
172 capela 1234
173 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
174     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
175 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
176     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
177 capela 1394
178 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
179     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
180     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
181     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
182    
183 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
184     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
185     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
186    
187 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
188    
189    
190 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
191 schoenebeck 736
192 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
193     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
194     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
195    
196 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
197    
198 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
199     the session state, only at code-level.
200 capela 1036
201 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
202 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
203 capela 1016
204 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
205     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
206     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
207     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
208     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
209     corrected some tooltip text strings.
210 capela 971
211 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
212     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
213     window managers.
214    
215 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
216 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
217     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
218     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
219 capela 957
220 capela 969 * GPL address update.
221 capela 920
222    
223 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
224    
225     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
226     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
227    
228 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
229    
230 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
231     installation paths have been added to configure command
232     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
233    
234 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
235     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
236     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
237     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
238     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
239    
240     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
241     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
242     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
243     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
244    
245 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
246    
247 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
248     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
249    
250 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
251     title name prefix.
252    
253 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
254     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
255     generated at configure time.
256    
257 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
258     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
259     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
260 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
261    
262 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
263    
264 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
265     compiled with -no-stl.
266    
267    
268 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
269 capela 653
270 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
271 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
272     one, while on qjackctl).
273 capela 653
274 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
275     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
276 capela 661
277 capela 662
278 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
279 capela 586
280 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
281 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
282 capela 619
283 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
284 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
285 capela 590 info updates.
286 capela 586
287 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
288     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
289     device dialog.
290 capela 586
291 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
292    
293 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
294     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
295     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
296 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
297 capela 590
298 capela 600
299 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
300 schoenebeck 519
301 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
302 capela 426
303 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
304 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
305 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
306 capela 567
307 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
308 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
309 capela 426
310 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
311 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
312 capela 567
313 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
314 capela 526
315    
316 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
317 capela 327
318 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
319     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
320     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
321     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
322    
323 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
324     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
325     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
326    
327     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
328     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
329    
330 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
331    
332     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
333     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
334     change information are now also posted to messages window.
335    
336 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
337     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
338     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
339     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
340    
341 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
342     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
343 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
344    
345 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
346     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
347     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
348     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
349    
350     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
351 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
352     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
353    
354 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
355 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
356 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
357     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
358 capela 327
359    
360 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
361 capela 115
362 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
363     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
364     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
365    
366 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
367     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
368     following common user-interface guidelines.
369    
370 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
371     control structures.
372    
373 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
374    
375     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
376     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
377 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
378 capela 255
379     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
380 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
381 capela 255
382     * Minor configure fixes.
383    
384    
385     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
386    
387 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
388    
389 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
390     and on session file save.
391 capela 145
392 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
393     on create time.
394 capela 161
395 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
396    
397    
398 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
399    
400 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
401     over the empty workspace area.
402 capela 130
403 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
404     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
405     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
406     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
407    
408 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
409     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
410    
411     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
412     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
413    
414 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
415     each sampler channel strip.
416 capela 115
417 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
418     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
419    
420     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
421 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
422    
423 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
424     new sampler channel strip.
425 capela 115
426     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
427     suggested in the following lines:
428    
429     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
430     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
431     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
432     LOAD ENGINE ...
433     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
434     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
