9     - Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
10     given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
11     Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).

112 capela 2112
113 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
114 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
115     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
116     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
117 capela 2108
118 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
119    
120 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

125    
126 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

134     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
135     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
136    
137 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
138     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
139    
140 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
141     a menu separator has been added.
142 capela 2036
143 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
144     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
145    
146     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
147     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
148     lame green solid background :).
149    
150 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
151 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
152

160     ever may follow ;)
161    
162 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
163    
164 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
165     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
166     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
167     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
168     a sampler the next time.
169 schoenebeck 1803
170 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
171    
172 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
173    
174 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
175     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
176     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
177     (default none).
178 capela 1749
179 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
180     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
181     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
182    
183 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
184     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
185     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
186     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
187 capela 1740
188 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
189     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
190    
191 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
192     screwed.
193    
194 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
195     e.g. by other frontends.
196 schoenebeck 1702
197 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
198     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
199     (fixes segfault on device changes)
200    
201 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
202     "View" main menu.
203 schoenebeck 1698
204 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
205    
206 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
207    
208 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
209     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
210 capela 1637
211 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
212     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
213 schoenebeck 1626
214    
215 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
216 schoenebeck 1461
217 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
218     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
219     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
220     default.
221 schoenebeck 1527
222 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
223     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
224

226     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
227    
228 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
229     creating a new sampler channel.
230    
231     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
232    
233 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
234     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
235     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
236     first time).
237    
238 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
239     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
240 schoenebeck 1486
241 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
242    
243 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
244     under win32.
245 schoenebeck 1493
246 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
247 schoenebeck 1461
248    
249 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
250 capela 1234
251 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
252     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
253 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
254     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
255 capela 1394
256 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
257     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
258     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
259     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
260    
261 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
262     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
263     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
264    
265 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
266    
267    
268 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
269 schoenebeck 736
270 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
271     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
272     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
273    
274 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
275    
276 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
277     the session state, only at code-level.
278 capela 1036
279 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
280 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
281 capela 1016
282 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
283     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
284     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
285     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
286     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
287     corrected some tooltip text strings.
288 capela 971
289 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
290     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
291     window managers.
292    
293 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
294 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
295     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
296     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
297 capela 957
298 capela 969 * GPL address update.
299 capela 920
300    
301 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
302    
303     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
304     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
305    
306 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
307    
308 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
309     installation paths have been added to configure command
310     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
311    
312 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
313     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
314     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
315     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
316     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
317    
318     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
319     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
320     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
321     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
322    
323 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
324    
325 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
326     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
327    
328 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
329     title name prefix.
330    
331 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
332     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
333     generated at configure time.
334    
335 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
336     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
337     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
338 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
339    
340 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
341    
342 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
343     compiled with -no-stl.
344    
345

347 capela 653
348 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
349 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
350     one, while on qjackctl).
351 capela 653
352 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
353     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
354 capela 661
355 capela 662
356 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.

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