5    
6 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
9    
10 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
11     session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
12 capela 2387
13 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
14    
15 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
16    
17 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
18    
19 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
20     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
21 capela 2282
22 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
23 persson 2210
24 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
25 persson 2210
26 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
27    
28 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
29 persson 2144
30     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
31     and make.
32    
33 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
34     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
35     Debian 6.
36    
37 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
38 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
39 capela 2112
40 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
41 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
42     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
43     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
44 capela 2108
45 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
46    
47 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
48     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
49     wrong main widget hidden state.
50    
51 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
52    
53 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
54     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
55     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
56     targets (--enable-debug).
57    
58 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
59    
60 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
61     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
62     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
63    
64 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
65     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
66    
67 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
68     a menu separator has been added.
69 capela 2036
70 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
71     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
72    
73     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
74     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
75     lame green solid background :).
76    
77 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
78 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
79    
80 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
81 capela 2028
82    
83 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
84 schoenebeck 1626
85 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
86     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
87     ever may follow ;)
88    
89 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
90    
91 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
92     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
93     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
94     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
95     a sampler the next time.
96 schoenebeck 1803
97 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
98    
99 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
100    
101 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
102     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
103     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
104     (default none).
105 capela 1749
106 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
107     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
108     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
109    
110 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
111     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
112     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
113     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
114 capela 1740
115 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
116     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
117    
118 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
119     screwed.
120    
121 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
122     e.g. by other frontends.
123 schoenebeck 1702
124 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
125     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
126     (fixes segfault on device changes)
127    
128 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
129     "View" main menu.
130 schoenebeck 1698
131 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
132    
133 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
134    
135 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
136     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
137 capela 1637
138 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
139     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
140 schoenebeck 1626
141    
142 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
143 schoenebeck 1461
144 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
145     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
146     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
147     default.
148 schoenebeck 1527
149 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
150     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
151    
152 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
153     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
154    
155 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
156     creating a new sampler channel.
157    
158     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
159    
160 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
161     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
162     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
163     first time).
164    
165 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
166     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
167 schoenebeck 1486
168 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
169    
170 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
171     under win32.
172 schoenebeck 1493
173 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
174 schoenebeck 1461
175    
176 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
177 capela 1234
178 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
179     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
180 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
181     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
182 capela 1394
183 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
184     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
185     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
186     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
187    
188 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
189     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
190     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
191    
192 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
193    
194    
195 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
196 schoenebeck 736
197 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
198     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
199     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
200    
201 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
202    
203 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
204     the session state, only at code-level.
205 capela 1036
206 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
207 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
208 capela 1016
209 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
210     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
211     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
212     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
213     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
214     corrected some tooltip text strings.
215 capela 971
216 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
217     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
218     window managers.
219    
220 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
221 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
222     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
223     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
224 capela 957
225 capela 969 * GPL address update.
226 capela 920
227    
228 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
229    
230     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
231     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
232    
233 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
234    
235 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
236     installation paths have been added to configure command
237     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
238    
239 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
240     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
241     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
242     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
243     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
244    
245     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
246     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
247     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
248     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
249    
250 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
251    
252 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
253     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
254    
255 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
256     title name prefix.
257    
258 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
259     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
260     generated at configure time.
261    
262 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
263     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
264     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
265 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
266    
267 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
268    
269 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
270     compiled with -no-stl.
271    
272    
273 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
274 capela 653
275 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
276 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
277     one, while on qjackctl).
278 capela 653
279 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
280     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
281 capela 661
282 capela 662
283 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
284 capela 586
285 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
286 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
287 capela 619
288 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
289 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
290 capela 590 info updates.
291 capela 586
292 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
293     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
294     device dialog.
295 capela 586
296 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
297    
298 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
299     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
300     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
301 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
302 capela 590
303 capela 600
304 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
305 schoenebeck 519
306 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
307 capela 426
308 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
309 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
310 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
311 capela 567
312 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
313 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
314 capela 426
315 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
316 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
317 capela 567
318 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
319 capela 526
320    
321 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
322 capela 327
323 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
324     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
325     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
326     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
327    
328 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
329     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
330     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
331    
332     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
333     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
334    
335 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
336    
337     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
338     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
339     change information are now also posted to messages window.
340    
341 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
342     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
343     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
344     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
345    
346 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
347     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
348 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
349    
350 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
351     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
352     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
353     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
354    
355     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
356 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
357     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
358    
359 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
360 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
361 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
362     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
363 capela 327
364    
365 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
366 capela 115
367 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
368     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
369     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
370    
371 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
372     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
373     following common user-interface guidelines.
374    
375 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
376     control structures.
377    
378 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
379    
380     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
381     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
382 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
383 capela 255
384     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
385 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
386 capela 255
387     * Minor configure fixes.
388    
389    
390     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
391    
392 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
393    
394 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
395     and on session file save.
396 capela 145
397 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
398     on create time.
399 capela 161
400 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
401    
402    
403 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
404    
405 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
406     over the empty workspace area.
407 capela 130
408 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
409     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
410     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
411     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
412    
413 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
414     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
415    
416     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
417     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
418    
419 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
420     each sampler channel strip.
421 capela 115
422 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
423     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
424    
425     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
426 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
427    
428 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
429     new sampler channel strip.
430 capela 115
431     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
432     suggested in the following lines:
433    
434     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
435     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
436     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
437     LOAD ENGINE ...
438     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
439     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
440    
441
