4     ChangeLog
5    
6 capela 2563 SVN TRUNK
7

9     (EXPERIMENTAL)
10    
11    
12 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
13 capela 2028
14 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
15    
16 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
17    
18 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for

21 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
22    
23 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
24    
25 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
26    
27 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
28     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
29 capela 2282
30 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
31 persson 2210
32 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
33 persson 2210
34 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
35    
36 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
37 persson 2144
38     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
39     and make.
40    
41 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
42     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
43     Debian 6.
44    
45 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
46 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
47 capela 2112
48 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
49 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
50     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
51     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
52 capela 2108
53 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
54    
55 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
56     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
57     wrong main widget hidden state.
58    
59 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
60    
61 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
62     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
63     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
64     targets (--enable-debug).
65    
66 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
67    
68 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
69     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
70     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
71    
72 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
73     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
74    
75 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
76     a menu separator has been added.
77 capela 2036
78 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
79     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
80    
81     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
82     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
83     lame green solid background :).
84    
85 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
86 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
87    
88 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
89 capela 2028
90    
91 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
92 schoenebeck 1626
93 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
94     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
95     ever may follow ;)
96    
97 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
98    
99 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
100     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
101     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
102     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
103     a sampler the next time.
104 schoenebeck 1803
105 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
106    
107 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
108    
109 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
110     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
111     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
112     (default none).
113 capela 1749
114 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
115     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
116     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
117    
118 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
119     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
120     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
121     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
122 capela 1740
123 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
124     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
125    
126 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
127     screwed.
128    
129 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
130     e.g. by other frontends.
131 schoenebeck 1702
132 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
133     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
134     (fixes segfault on device changes)
135    
136 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
137     "View" main menu.
138 schoenebeck 1698
139 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
140    
141 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
142    
143 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
144     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
145 capela 1637
146 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
147     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
148 schoenebeck 1626
149    
150 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
151 schoenebeck 1461
152 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
153     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
154     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
155     default.
156 schoenebeck 1527
157 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
158     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
159    
160 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
161     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
162    
163 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
164     creating a new sampler channel.
165    
166     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
167    
168 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
169     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
170     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
171     first time).
172    
173 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
174     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
175 schoenebeck 1486
176 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
177    
178 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
179     under win32.
180 schoenebeck 1493
181 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
182 schoenebeck 1461
183    
184 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
185 capela 1234
186 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
187     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
188 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
189     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
190 capela 1394
191 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
192     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
193     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
194     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
195    
196 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
197     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
198     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
199    
200 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
201    
202    
203 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
204 schoenebeck 736
205 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
206     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
207     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
208    
209 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
210    
211 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
212     the session state, only at code-level.
213 capela 1036
214 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
215 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
216 capela 1016
217 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
218     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
219     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
220     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
221     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
222     corrected some tooltip text strings.
223 capela 971
224 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
225     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
226     window managers.
227    
228 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
229 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
230     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
231     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
232 capela 957
233 capela 969 * GPL address update.
234 capela 920
235    
236 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
237    
238     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
239     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
240    
241 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
242    
243 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
244     installation paths have been added to configure command
245     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
246    
247 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
248     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
249     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
250     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
251     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
252    
253     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
254     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
255     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
256     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
257    
258 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
259    
260 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
261     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
262    
263 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
264     title name prefix.
265    
266 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
267     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
268     generated at configure time.
269    
270 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
271     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
272     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
273 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
274    
275 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
276    
277 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
278     compiled with -no-stl.
279    
280    
281 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
282 capela 653
283 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
284 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
285     one, while on qjackctl).
286 capela 653
287 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
288     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
289 capela 661
290 capela 662
291 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
292 capela 586
293 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
294 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
295 capela 619
296 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
297 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
298 capela 590 info updates.
299 capela 586
300 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
301     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
302     device dialog.
303 capela 586
304 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
305    
306 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
307     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
308     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
309 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
310 capela 590
311 capela 600
312 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
313 schoenebeck 519
314 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
315 capela 426
316 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
317 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
318 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
319 capela 567
320 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
321 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
322 capela 426
323 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
324 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
325 capela 567
326 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
327 capela 526
328    
329 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
330 capela 327
331 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
332     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
333     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
334     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
335    
336 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
337     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
338     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
339    
340     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
341     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
342    
343 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
344    
345     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
346     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
347     change information are now also posted to messages window.
348    
349 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
350     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
351     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
352     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
353    
354 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
355     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
356 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
357    
358 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
359     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
360     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
361     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
362    
363     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
364 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
365     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
366    
367 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
368 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
369 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
370     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
371 capela 327
372    
373 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
374 capela 115
375 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
376     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
377     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
378    
379 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
380     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
381     following common user-interface guidelines.
382    
383 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
384     control structures.
385    
386 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
387    
388     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
389     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
390 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
391 capela 255
392     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
393 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
394 capela 255
395     * Minor configure fixes.
396    
397    
398     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
399    
400 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
401    
402 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
403     and on session file save.
404 capela 145
405 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
406     on create time.
407 capela 161
408 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
409    
410    
411 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
412    
413 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
414     over the empty workspace area.
415 capela 130
416 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
417     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
418     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
419     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
420    
421 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
422     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
423    
424     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
425     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
426    
427 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
428     each sampler channel strip.
429 capela 115
430 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
431     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
432    
433     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
434 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
435    
436 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
437     new sampler channel strip.
438 capela 115
439     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
440     suggested in the following lines:
441    
442     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
443     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
444     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
445     LOAD ENGINE ...
446     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
447     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
448    
449    
450 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
