77     and make.
78    
79 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
80     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
81     Debian 6.
82    
83 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
84 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
85 capela 2112
86 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
87 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
88     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
89     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
90 capela 2108
91 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
92    
93 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
94     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
95     wrong main widget hidden state.
96    
97 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
98    
99 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

108     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
109    
110 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
111     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
112    
113 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
114     a menu separator has been added.
115 capela 2036
116 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
117     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
118    
119     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
120     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
121     lame green solid background :).
122    
123 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
124 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
125

136    
137 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
138     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
139     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
140     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
141     a sampler the next time.
142 schoenebeck 1803
143 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
144    
145 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
146    
147 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
148     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
149     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
150     (default none).
151 capela 1749
152 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
153     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
154     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
155    
156 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
157     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
158     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
159     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
160 capela 1740
161 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
162     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
163

165     screwed.
166    
167 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
168     e.g. by other frontends.
169 schoenebeck 1702
170 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
171     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
172     (fixes segfault on device changes)
173    
174 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
175     "View" main menu.
176 schoenebeck 1698
177 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
178    
179 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
180    
181 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
182     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
183 capela 1637
184 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
185     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
186 schoenebeck 1626
187    
188 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
189 schoenebeck 1461
190 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
191     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
192     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
193     default.
194 schoenebeck 1527
195 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
196     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
197

199     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
200    
201 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
202     creating a new sampler channel.
203    
204     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
205    
206 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
207     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
208     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
209     first time).
210    
211 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
212     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
213 schoenebeck 1486
214 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
215    
216 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
217     under win32.
218 schoenebeck 1493
219 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
220 schoenebeck 1461

222 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
223 capela 1234
224 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
225     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
226 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
227     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
228 capela 1394
229 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
230     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
231     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
232     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
233    
234 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
235     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
236     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
237    
238 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
239    
240    
241 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
242 schoenebeck 736
243 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
244     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
245     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
246    
247 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
248    
249 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
250     the session state, only at code-level.
251 capela 1036
252 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
253 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
254 capela 1016
255 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
256     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
257     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
258     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
259     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
260     corrected some tooltip text strings.
261 capela 971
262 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
263     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
264     window managers.
265    
266 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
267 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
268     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in

270 capela 957
271 capela 969 * GPL address update.
272 capela 920
273    
274 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
275    
276     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
277     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
278    
279 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
280    
281 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
282     installation paths have been added to configure command
283     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
284    
285 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
286     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
287     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
288     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
289     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
290    
291     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
292     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
293     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
294     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
295    
296 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
297    
298 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
299     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
300    
301 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
302     title name prefix.
303    
304 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
305     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
306     generated at configure time.
307    
308 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
309     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
310     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
311 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
312    
313 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
314    
315 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
316     compiled with -no-stl.
317

320 capela 653
321 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
322 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
323     one, while on qjackctl).
324 capela 653
325 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
326     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
327 capela 661
328 capela 662
329 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
330 capela 586

332 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
333 capela 619
334 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
335 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
336 capela 590 info updates.
337 capela 586
338 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
339     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
340     device dialog.
341 capela 586
342 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
343    
344 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
345     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
346     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
347 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
348 capela 590
349 capela 600
350 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
351 schoenebeck 519
352 capela 465 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
353 capela 426
354 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
355 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
356 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
357 capela 567
358 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
359 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
360 capela 426
361 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
362 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
363 capela 567
364 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
365 capela 526
366    
367 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
368 capela 327
369 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
370     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
371     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
372     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
373    
374 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
375     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
376     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
377    
378     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
379     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
380    
381 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
382    
383     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
384     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
385     change information are now also posted to messages window.
386    
387 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
388     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
389     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
390     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
391    
392 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
393     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
394 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
395    
396 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
397     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
398     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
399     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
400    
401     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
402 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
403     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
404    
405 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
406 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
407 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
408     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
409 capela 327
410    
411 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
412 capela 115
413 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
414     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
415     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
416    
417 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
418     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
419     following common user-interface guidelines.
420    
421 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
422     control structures.
423    
424 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
425    
426     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
427     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
428 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
429 capela 255
430     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
431 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
432 capela 255
433     * Minor configure fixes.
434    
435    
436     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
437    
438 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
439    
440 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
441     and on session file save.
442 capela 145
443 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
444     on create time.
445 capela 161
446 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
447    
448    
449 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
450    
451 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
452     over the empty workspace area.
453 capela 130
454 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
455     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
456     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
457     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
