117     and make.
118    
119 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
120     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
121     Debian 6.

124 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
125 capela 2112
126 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
127 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
128     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
129     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
130 capela 2108
131 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
132    
133 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
134     been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
135     wrong main widget hidden state.
136    
137 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
138    
139 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

147     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
148     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
149    
150 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
151     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
152    
153 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
154     a menu separator has been added.
155 capela 2036
156 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
157     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
158    
159     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
160     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
161     lame green solid background :).
162    
163 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
164 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
165

173     ever may follow ;)
174    
175 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
176    
177 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
178     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
179     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
180     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
181     a sampler the next time.
182 schoenebeck 1803
183 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
184    
185 capela 1787 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
186    
187 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
188     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
189     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
190     (default none).
191 capela 1749
192 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
193     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
194     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
195    
196 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
197     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
198     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
199     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
200 capela 1740
201 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
202     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
203    
204 schoenebeck 1710 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
205     screwed.
206    
207 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
208     e.g. by other frontends.
209 schoenebeck 1702
210 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
211     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
212     (fixes segfault on device changes)
213    
214 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
215     "View" main menu.
216 schoenebeck 1698
217 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
218    
219 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
220    
221 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
222     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
223 capela 1637
224 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
225     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
226 schoenebeck 1626
227    
228 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
229 schoenebeck 1461
230 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
231     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
232     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
233     default.
234 schoenebeck 1527
235 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
236     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
237    
238 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
239     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
240    
241 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
242     creating a new sampler channel.
243    
244     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
245    
246 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
247     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
248     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
249     first time).
250    
251 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
252     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
253 schoenebeck 1486
254 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
255    
256 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
257     under win32.
258 schoenebeck 1493
259 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
260 schoenebeck 1461
261    
262 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
263 capela 1234
264 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
265     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
266 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
267     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
268 capela 1394
269 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
270     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
271     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
272     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
273    
274 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
275     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
276     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
277    
278 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
279    
280    
281 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
282 schoenebeck 736
283 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
284     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
285     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
286    
287 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
288    
289 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
290     the session state, only at code-level.
291 capela 1036
292 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
293 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
294 capela 1016
295 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
296     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
297     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
298     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
299     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
300     corrected some tooltip text strings.
301 capela 971
302 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
303     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
304     window managers.
305    
306 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
307 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
308     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
309     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
310 capela 957
311 capela 969 * GPL address update.
312 capela 920
313    
314 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
315    
316     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
317     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
318    
319 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
320    
321 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
322     installation paths have been added to configure command
323     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
324    
325 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
326     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
327     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
328     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
329     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
330    
331     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
332     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
333     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
334     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
335    
336 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
337    
338 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
339 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
340 capela 758
341 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
342     title name prefix.
343    
344 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
345     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
346     generated at configure time.
347    
348 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
349     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
350     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
351 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
352    
353 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
354    
355 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
356     compiled with -no-stl.
357    
358

360 capela 653
361 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
362 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
363     one, while on qjackctl).
364 capela 653
365 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
366     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
367 capela 661
368 capela 662
369 capela 631 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.

372 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
373 capela 619
374 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
375 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
376 capela 590 info updates.
377 capela 586
378 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
379     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
380     device dialog.
381 capela 586
382 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
383    
384 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
385     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
386     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
387 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
388 capela 590
389 capela 600
390 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
391 schoenebeck 519
392 capela 3044 * Device configuration is now complete.
393 capela 426
394 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
395 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
396 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
397 capela 567
398 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
399 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
400 capela 426
401 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
402 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
403 capela 567
404 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
405 capela 526
406    
407 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
408 capela 327
409 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
410     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
411     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
412     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
413    
414 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
415     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
416     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
417    
418     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
419     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
420    
421 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
422    
423     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
424     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
425     change information are now also posted to messages window.
426    
427 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
428     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
429     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
430     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
431    
432 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
433     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
434 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
435    
436 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
437     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
438     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
439     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
440    
441     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
442 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
443     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
444    
445 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
446 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
447 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
448     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
449 capela 327
