6 capela 2681 GIT HEAD
7 capela 2563
8 capela 2681 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
9     main toolbar orientation.
10    
11 capela 2669 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
12     as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
13    
14 capela 2660 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
15    
16 capela 2642 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
17     debian, thanks).
18    
19 capela 2631 * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
20    
21 capela 2563 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
22     (EXPERIMENTAL)
23    
24 schoenebeck 2569 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
25     the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
26     instruments of the same file.
27 capela 2563
28 schoenebeck 2591 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
29     (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
30 schoenebeck 2569
31 schoenebeck 2591
32 capela 2488 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
33 capela 2028
34 capela 2545 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
35    
36 capela 2480 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
37    
38 capela 2456 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for

42    
43 capela 2341 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
44    
45 capela 2339 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
46    
47 capela 2284 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
48     configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
49 capela 2282
50 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
51 persson 2210
52 capela 2271 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
53 persson 2210
54 capela 2181 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
55    
56 capela 2271 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
57 persson 2144
58     * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
59     and make.
60    
61 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
62     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
63     Debian 6.
64    
65 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
66 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
67 capela 2112
68 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
69 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
70     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
71     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
72 capela 2108
73 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
74    
75 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
76     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
77     wrong main widget hidden state.
78    
79 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
80    
81 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
82     traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
83     option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
84     targets (--enable-debug).
85    
86 capela 2064 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
87

89     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
90     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
91    
92 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
93     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
94    
95 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
96     a menu separator has been added.
97 capela 2036
98 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
99     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
100    
101     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
102     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
103     lame green solid background :).
104    
105 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
106 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
107    
108 capela 2036 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
109 capela 2028
110

115     ever may follow ;)
116    
117 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
118    
119 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
120     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
121     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
122     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
123     a sampler the next time.
124 schoenebeck 1803
125 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
126    
127 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
128    
129 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
130     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
131     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
132     (default none).
133 capela 1749
134 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
135     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
136     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
137    
138 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
139     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
140     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
141     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
142 capela 1740
143 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
144     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
145    
146 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
147     screwed.
148    
149 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
150     e.g. by other frontends.
151 schoenebeck 1702
152 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
153     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
154     (fixes segfault on device changes)
155    
156 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
157     "View" main menu.
158 schoenebeck 1698
159 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
160    
161 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
162    
163 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
164     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
165 capela 1637
166 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
167     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
168 schoenebeck 1626
169    
170 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
171 schoenebeck 1461
172 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
173     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
174     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
175     default.
176 schoenebeck 1527
177 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
178     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
179    
180 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
181     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
182    
183 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
184     creating a new sampler channel.
185    
186     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
187    
188 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
189     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
190     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
191     first time).
192    
193 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
194     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
195 schoenebeck 1486
196 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
197    
198 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
199     under win32.
200 schoenebeck 1493
201 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
202 schoenebeck 1461
203    
204 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
205 capela 1234
206 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
207     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
208 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
209     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
210 capela 1394
211 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
212     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
213     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
214     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
215    
216 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
217     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
218     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
219    
220 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
221    
222    
223 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
224 schoenebeck 736
225 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
226     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
227     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
228    
229 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
230    
231 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
232     the session state, only at code-level.
233 capela 1036
234 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
235 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
236 capela 1016
237 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
238     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
239     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
240     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
241     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
242     corrected some tooltip text strings.
243 capela 971
244 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
245     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
246     window managers.
247    
248 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
249 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
250     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
251     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
252 capela 957
253 capela 969 * GPL address update.
254 capela 920
255    
256 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
257    
258     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
259     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
260    
261 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
262    
263 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
264     installation paths have been added to configure command
265     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
266    
267 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
268     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
269     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
270     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
271     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
272    
273     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
274     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
275     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
276     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
277    
278 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
279    
280 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
281     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
282    
283 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
284     title name prefix.
285    
286 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
287     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
288     generated at configure time.
289    
290 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
291     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
292     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
293 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
294    
295 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
296    
297 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
298     compiled with -no-stl.
299    
300    
301 capela 680 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
302 capela 653
303 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
304 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
305     one, while on qjackctl).
306 capela 653
307 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
308     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
309 capela 661
310 capela 662
311 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
312 capela 586
313 capela 619 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
314 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
315 capela 619
316 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
317 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
318 capela 590 info updates.
319 capela 586
320 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
321     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
322     device dialog.
323 capela 586
324 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
325    
326 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
327     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
328     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
329 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
330 capela 590
331 capela 600
332 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
333 schoenebeck 519
334 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
335 capela 426
336 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
337 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
338 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
339 capela 567
340 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
341 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
342 capela 426
343 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
344 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
345 capela 567
346 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
347 capela 526
348    
349 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
350 capela 327
351 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
352     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
353     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
354     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
355    
356 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
357     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
358     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
359    
360     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
361     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
362    
363 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
364    
365     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
366     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
367     change information are now also posted to messages window.
368    
369 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
370     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
371     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
372     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
373    
374 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
375     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
376 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
377    
378 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
379     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
380     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
381     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
382    
383     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
384 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
385     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
386    
387 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
388 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
389 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
390     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
391 capela 327
392    
393 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
394 capela 115
395 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
396     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
397     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
398    
399 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
400     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
401     following common user-interface guidelines.
402    
403 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
404     control structures.
405    
406 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
407    
408     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
409     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
410 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
411 capela 255
412     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
413 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
414 capela 255
415     * Minor configure fixes.
416    
417    
418     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
419    
420 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
421    
422 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
423     and on session file save.
424 capela 145
425 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
426     on create time.
427 capela 161
428 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
429    
430    
431 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
432    
433 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
434     over the empty workspace area.
435 capela 130
436 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
437     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
438     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
439     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
440    
441 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
442     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
443    
444     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
445     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
446    
447 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
448     each sampler channel strip.
449 capela 115
450 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
451     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
452    
453     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
454 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
455    
456 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
457     new sampler channel strip.
458 capela 115
459     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
460     suggested in the following lines:
461    
462     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
