10    
11 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
12    
13 capela 2563 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
14     (EXPERIMENTAL)
15    
16 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
17     the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
18     instruments of the same file.
19 capela 2563
20 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
21     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
22 schoenebeck 2569
23 schoenebeck 2591
24 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
25 capela 2028
26 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
27    
28 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
29    
30 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
31     session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
32 capela 2387
33 capela 2456 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
34    
35 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
36    
37 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
38    
39 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
40     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
41 capela 2282
42 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
43 persson 2210
44 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
45 persson 2210
46 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
47    
48 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
49 persson 2144
50     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
51     and make.
52    
53 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
54     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
55     Debian 6.
56    
57 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
58 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
59 capela 2112
60 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
61 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
62     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
63     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
64 capela 2108
65 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
66    
67 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
68     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
69     wrong main widget hidden state.
70    
71 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
72    
73 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
74     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
75     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
76     targets (--enable-debug).
77    
78 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
79    
80 capela 2059 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
81     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
82     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
83    
84 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
85     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
86    
87 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
88     a menu separator has been added.
89 capela 2036
90 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
91     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
92    
93     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
94     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
95     lame green solid background :).
96    
97 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
98 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
99    
100 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
101 capela 2028
102    
103 capela 1964 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.

105 capela 1873 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
106     brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
107     ever may follow ;)
108    
109 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
110    
111 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
112     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
113     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
114     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
115     a sampler the next time.
116 schoenebeck 1803
117 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
118    
119 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
120    
121 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
122     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
123     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
124     (default none).
125 capela 1749
126 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
127     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
128     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
129    
130 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
131     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
132     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
133     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
134 capela 1740
135 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
136     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
137    
138 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
139     screwed.
140    
141 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
142     e.g. by other frontends.
143 schoenebeck 1702
144 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
145     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
146     (fixes segfault on device changes)
147    
148 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
149     "View" main menu.
150 schoenebeck 1698
151 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
152    
153 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
154    
155 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
156     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
157 capela 1637
158 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
159     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
160 schoenebeck 1626
161    
162 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
163 schoenebeck 1461
164 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
165     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
166     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
167     default.
168 schoenebeck 1527
169 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
170     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
171    
172 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
173     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
174    
175 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
176     creating a new sampler channel.
177    
178     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
179    
180 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
181     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
182     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
183     first time).
184    
185 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
186     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
187 schoenebeck 1486
188 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
189    
190 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
191     under win32.
192 schoenebeck 1493
193 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
194 schoenebeck 1461
195    
196 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
197 capela 1234
198 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
199     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
200 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
201     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
202 capela 1394
203 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
204     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
205     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
206     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
207    
208 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
209     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
210     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
211    
212 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
213    
214    
215 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
216 schoenebeck 736
217 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
218     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
219     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
220    
221 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
222    
223 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
224     the session state, only at code-level.
225 capela 1036
226 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
227 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
228 capela 1016
229 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
230     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
231     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
232     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
233     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
234     corrected some tooltip text strings.
235 capela 971
236 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
237     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
238     window managers.
239    
240 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
241 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
242     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
243     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
244 capela 957
245 capela 969 * GPL address update.
246 capela 920
247    
248 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
249    
250     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
251     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
252    
253 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
254    
255 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
256     installation paths have been added to configure command
257     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
258    
259 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
260     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
261     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
262     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
263     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
264    
265     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
266     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
267     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
268     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
269    
270 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
271    
272 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
273     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
274    
275 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
276     title name prefix.
277    
278 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
279     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
280     generated at configure time.
281    
282 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
283     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
284     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
285 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
286    
287 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
288    
289 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
290     compiled with -no-stl.
291    
292

294 capela 653
295 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
296 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
297     one, while on qjackctl).
298 capela 653
299 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
300     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
301 capela 661
302 capela 662
303 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
304 capela 586
305 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
306 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
307 capela 619
308 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
309 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
310 capela 590 info updates.
311 capela 586
312 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
313     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
314     device dialog.
315 capela 586
316 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
317    
318 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
319     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
320     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
321 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
322 capela 590
323 capela 600
324 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
325 schoenebeck 519
326 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
327 capela 426
328 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
329 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
330 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
331 capela 567
332 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
333 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
334 capela 426
335 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
336 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
337 capela 567
338 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
339 capela 526
340    
341 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
342 capela 327
343 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
344     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
345     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
346     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
347    
348 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
349     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
350     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
351    
352     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
353     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
354    
355 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
356    
357     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
358     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
359     change information are now also posted to messages window.
360    
361 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
362     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
363     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
364     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
365    
366 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
367     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
368 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
369    
370 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
371     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
372     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
373     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
374    
375     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
376 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
377     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
378    
379 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
380 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
381 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
382     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
383 capela 327
384    
385 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
386 capela 115
387 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
388     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
389     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
390    
391 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
392     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
393     following common user-interface guidelines.
394    
395 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
396     control structures.
397    
398 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
399    
400     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
401     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
402 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
403 capela 255
404     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
405 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
406 capela 255
407     * Minor configure fixes.
408    
409    
410     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
411    
412 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
413    
414 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
415     and on session file save.
416 capela 145
417 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
418     on create time.
419 capela 161
420 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
421    
422    
423 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
424    
425 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
426     over the empty workspace area.
427 capela 130
428 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
429     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
430     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
431     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
432    
433 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
434     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
435    
436     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
437     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
438    
439 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
440     each sampler channel strip.
441 capela 115
442 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
443     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
444    
445     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
446 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
447    
448 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
449     new sampler channel strip.
450 capela 115
451     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
452     suggested in the following lines:
453    
454     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
455     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
456     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
457     LOAD ENGINE ...
458     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
459     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
460    
461    
462 capela 109 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
