10     in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
11    
12     * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
13 capela 2874 given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
14     Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
15    
16 schoenebeck 2910 * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
17     auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.

110     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
111     Debian 6.
112    
113 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
114 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
115 capela 2112
116 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
117 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
118     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
119     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
120 capela 2108
121 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
122    
123 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

126    
127 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
128    
129 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

137     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
138     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
139    
140 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
141     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
142    
143 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
144     a menu separator has been added.
145 capela 2036
146 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
147     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
148    
149     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
150     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
151     lame green solid background :).
152    
153 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
154 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
155

165 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
166    
167 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
168     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
169     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
170     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
171     a sampler the next time.
172 schoenebeck 1803
173 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
174    
175 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
176    
177 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
178     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
179     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
180     (default none).
181 capela 1749
182 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
183     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
184     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
185    
186 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
187     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
188     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
189     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
190 capela 1740
191 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
192     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
193

195     screwed.
196    
197 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
198     e.g. by other frontends.
199 schoenebeck 1702
200 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
201     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
202     (fixes segfault on device changes)
203    
204 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
205     "View" main menu.
206 schoenebeck 1698
207 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
208    
209 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
210    
211 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
212     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
213 capela 1637
214 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
215     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
216 schoenebeck 1626
217    
218 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
219 schoenebeck 1461
220 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
221     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
222     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
223     default.
224 schoenebeck 1527
225 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
226     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
227

229     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
230    
231 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
232     creating a new sampler channel.
233    
234     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
235    
236 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
237     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
238     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
239     first time).
240    
241 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
242     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
243 schoenebeck 1486
244 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
245    
246 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
247     under win32.
248 schoenebeck 1493
249 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
250 schoenebeck 1461
251    
252 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
253 capela 1234
254 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
255     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
256 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
257     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
258 capela 1394
259 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
260     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
261     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
262     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
263    
264 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
265     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
266     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
267    
268 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
269    
270    
271 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
272 schoenebeck 736
273 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
274     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
275     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
276    
277 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
278    
279 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
280     the session state, only at code-level.
281 capela 1036
282 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
283 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
284 capela 1016
285 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
286     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
287     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
288     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
289     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
290     corrected some tooltip text strings.
291 capela 971
292 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
293     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
294     window managers.
295    
296 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
297 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
298     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
299     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
300 capela 957
301 capela 969 * GPL address update.
302 capela 920
303    
304 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
305    
306     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
307     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
308    
309 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
310    
311 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
312     installation paths have been added to configure command
313     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
314    
315 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
316     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
317     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
318     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
319     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
320    
321     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
322     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
323     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
324     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
325    
326 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
327    
328 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
329     the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
330    
331 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
332     title name prefix.
333    
334 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
335     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
336     generated at configure time.
337    
338 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
339     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
340     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
341 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
342    
343 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
344    
345 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
346     compiled with -no-stl.
347    
348

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

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