4     ChangeLog
5    
6 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
7 capela 2028
8 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
9    
10 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
11    
12 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
13     session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
14 capela 2387
15 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
16    
17 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
18    
19 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
20    
21 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
22     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
23 capela 2282
24 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
25 persson 2210
26 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
27 persson 2210
28 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
29    
30 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
31 persson 2144
32     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
33     and make.
34    
35 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
36     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
37     Debian 6.
38    
39 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
40 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
41 capela 2112
42 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
43 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
44     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
45     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
46 capela 2108
47 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
48    
49 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
50     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
51     wrong main widget hidden state.
52    
53 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
54    
55 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
56     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
57     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
58     targets (--enable-debug).
59    
60 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
61    
62 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
63     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
64     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
65    
66 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
67     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
68    
69 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
70     a menu separator has been added.
71 capela 2036
72 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
73     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
74    
75     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
76     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
77     lame green solid background :).
78    
79 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
80 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
81    
82 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
83 capela 2028
84    
85 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
86 schoenebeck 1626
87 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
88     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
89     ever may follow ;)
90    
91 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
92    
93 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
94     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
95     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
96     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
97     a sampler the next time.
98 schoenebeck 1803
99 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
100    
101 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
102    
103 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
104     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
105     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
106     (default none).
107 capela 1749
108 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
109     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
110     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
111    
112 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
113     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
114     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
115     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
116 capela 1740
117 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
118     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
119    
120 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
121     screwed.
122    
123 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
124     e.g. by other frontends.
125 schoenebeck 1702
126 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
127     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
128     (fixes segfault on device changes)
129    
130 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
131     "View" main menu.
132 schoenebeck 1698
133 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
134    
135 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
136    
137 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
138     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
139 capela 1637
140 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
141     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
142 schoenebeck 1626
143    
144 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
145 schoenebeck 1461
146 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
147     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
148     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
149     default.
150 schoenebeck 1527
151 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
152     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
153    
154 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
155     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
156    
157 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
158     creating a new sampler channel.
159    
160     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
161    
162 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
163     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
164     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
165     first time).
166    
167 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
168     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
169 schoenebeck 1486
170 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
171    
172 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
173     under win32.
174 schoenebeck 1493
175 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
176 schoenebeck 1461
177    
178 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
179 capela 1234
180 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
181     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
182 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
183     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
184 capela 1394
185 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
186     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
187     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
188     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
189    
190 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
191     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
192     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
193    
194 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
195    
196    
197 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
198 schoenebeck 736
199 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
200     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
201     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
202    
203 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
204    
205 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
206     the session state, only at code-level.
207 capela 1036
208 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
209 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
210 capela 1016
211 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
212     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
213     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
214     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
215     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
216     corrected some tooltip text strings.
217 capela 971
218 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
219     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
220     window managers.
221    
222 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
223 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
224     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
225     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
226 capela 957
227 capela 969 * GPL address update.
228 capela 920
229    
230 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
231    
232     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
233     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
234    
235 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
236    
237 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
238     installation paths have been added to configure command
239     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
240    
241 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
242     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
243     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
244     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
245     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
246    
247     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
248     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
249     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
250     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
251    
252 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
253    
254 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
255     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
256    
257 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
258     title name prefix.
259    
260 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
261     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
262     generated at configure time.
263    
264 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
265     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
266     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
267 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
268    
269 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
270    
271 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
272     compiled with -no-stl.
273    
274    
275 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
276 capela 653
277 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
278 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
279     one, while on qjackctl).
280 capela 653
281 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
282     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
283 capela 661
284 capela 662
285 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
286 capela 586
287 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
288 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
289 capela 619
290 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
291 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
292 capela 590 info updates.
293 capela 586
294 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
295     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
296     device dialog.
297 capela 586
298 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
299    
300 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
301     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
302     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
303 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
304 capela 590
305 capela 600
306 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
307 schoenebeck 519
308 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
309 capela 426
310 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
311 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
312 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
313 capela 567
314 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
315 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
316 capela 426
317 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
318 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
319 capela 567
320 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
321 capela 526
322    
323 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
324 capela 327
325 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
326     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
327     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
328     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
329    
330 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
331     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
332     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
333    
334     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
335     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
336    
337 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
338    
339     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
340     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
341     change information are now also posted to messages window.
342    
343 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
344     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
345     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
346     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
347    
348 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
349     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
350 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
351    
352 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
353     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
354     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
355     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
356    
357     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
358 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
359     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
360    
361 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
362 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
363 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
364     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
365 capela 327
366    
367 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
368 capela 115
369 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
370     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
371     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
372    
373 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
374     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
375     following common user-interface guidelines.
376    
377 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
378     control structures.
379    
380 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
381    
382     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
383     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
384 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
385 capela 255
386     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
387 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
388 capela 255
389     * Minor configure fixes.
390    
391    
392     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
393    
394 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
395    
396 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
397     and on session file save.
398 capela 145
399 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
400     on create time.
401 capela 161
402 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
403    
404    
405 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
406    
407 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
408     over the empty workspace area.
409 capela 130
410 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
411     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
412     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
413     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
414    
415 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
416     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
417    
418     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
419     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
420    
421 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
422     each sampler channel strip.
423 capela 115
424 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
425     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
426    
427     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
428 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
429    
430 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
431     new sampler channel strip.
432 capela 115
433     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
434     suggested in the following lines:
435    
436     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
437     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
438     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
439     LOAD ENGINE ...
440     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
441     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
442    
443    
444 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
