97 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
98     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
99     Debian 6.
100    
101 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
102 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
103 capela 2112
104 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
105 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
106     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
107     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
108 capela 2108
109 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
110    
111 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

115 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
116    
117 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

126     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
127    
128 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
129     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
130    
131 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
132     a menu separator has been added.
133 capela 2036
134 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
135     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
136    
137     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
138     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
139     lame green solid background :).
140    
141 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
142 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
143

153 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
154    
155 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
156     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
157     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
158     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
159     a sampler the next time.
160 schoenebeck 1803
161 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
162    
163 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
164    
165 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
166     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
167     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
168     (default none).
169 capela 1749
170 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
171     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
172     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
173    
174 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
175     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
176     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
177     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
178 capela 1740
179 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
180     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
181    
182 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
183     screwed.
184    
185 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
186     e.g. by other frontends.
187 schoenebeck 1702
188 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
189     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
190     (fixes segfault on device changes)
191    
192 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
193     "View" main menu.
194 schoenebeck 1698
195 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
196    
197 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
198    
199 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
200     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
201 capela 1637
202 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
203     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
204 schoenebeck 1626
205    
206 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
207 schoenebeck 1461
208 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
209     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
210     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
211     default.
212 schoenebeck 1527
213 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
214     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
215

217     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
218    
219 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
220     creating a new sampler channel.
221    
222     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
223    
224 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
225     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
226     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
227     first time).
228    
229 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
230     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
231 schoenebeck 1486
232 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
233    
234 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
235     under win32.
236 schoenebeck 1493
237 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
238 schoenebeck 1461
239    
240 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
241 capela 1234
242 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
243     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
244 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
245     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
246 capela 1394
247 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
248     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
249     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
250     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
251    
252 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
253     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
254     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
255    
256 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
257    
258    
259 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
260 schoenebeck 736
261 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
262     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
263     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
264    
265 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
266    
267 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
268     the session state, only at code-level.
269 capela 1036
270 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
271 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
272 capela 1016
273 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
274     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
275     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
276     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
277     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
278     corrected some tooltip text strings.
279 capela 971
280 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
281     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
282     window managers.
283    
284 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
285 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
286     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
287     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
288 capela 957
289 capela 969 * GPL address update.
290 capela 920
291    
292 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
293    
294     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
295     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
296    
297 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
298    
299 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
300     installation paths have been added to configure command
301     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
302    
303 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
304     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
305     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
306     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
307     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
308    
309     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
310     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
311     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
312     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
313    
314 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
315    
316 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
317     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
318    
319 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
320     title name prefix.
321    
322 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
323     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
324     generated at configure time.
325    
326 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
327     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
328     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
329 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
330    
331 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
332    
333 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was

338 capela 653
339 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
340 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
341     one, while on qjackctl).
342 capela 653
343 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
344     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
345 capela 661
346 capela 662
347 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.

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