141 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
142 capela 2112
143 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
144 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
145     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
146     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
147 capela 2108
148 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
149    
150 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

154 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
155    
156 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

165     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
166    
167 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
168     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
169    
170 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
171     a menu separator has been added.
172 capela 2036

174     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
175    
176     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
177     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
178     lame green solid background :).

181 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
182

193    
194 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
195     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
196     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
197     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
198     a sampler the next time.
199 schoenebeck 1803

207     (default none).
208 capela 1749
209 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
210     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
211     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
212    
213 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
214     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
215     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
216     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
217 capela 1740
218 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
219     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.

224 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
225     e.g. by other frontends.
226 schoenebeck 1702
227 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
228     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
229     (fixes segfault on device changes)
230    
231 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
232     "View" main menu.
233 schoenebeck 1698

237    
238 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
239     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
240 capela 1637
241 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
242     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
243 schoenebeck 1626
244    
245 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
246 schoenebeck 1461
247 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
248     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
249     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
250     default.
251 schoenebeck 1527
252 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
253     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).

258 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
259     creating a new sampler channel.
260    
261     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
262    
263 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
264     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
265     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
266     first time).
267    
268 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
269     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
270 schoenebeck 1486
271 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
272    
273 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
274     under win32.
275 schoenebeck 1493
276 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
277 schoenebeck 1461

280 capela 1234
281 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
282     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
283 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
284     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
285 capela 1394
286 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
287     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
288     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
289     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
290    
291 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
292     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
293     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
294    
295 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
296    
297    
298 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
299 schoenebeck 736
300 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
301     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
302     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
303    
304 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
305    
306 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
307     the session state, only at code-level.
308 capela 1036
309 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
310 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
311 capela 1016
312 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
313     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
314     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
315     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
316     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
317     corrected some tooltip text strings.
318 capela 971
319 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
320     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
321     window managers.
322    
323 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
324 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
325     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
326     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
327 capela 957
328 capela 969 * GPL address update.
329 capela 920
330    
331 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
332    
333     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
334     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
335    
336 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
337    
338 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
339     installation paths have been added to configure command
340     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
341    
342 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
343     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
344     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
345     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
346     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
347    
348     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
349     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
350     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
351     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
352    
353 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
354    
355 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
356 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
357 capela 758
358 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
359     title name prefix.
360    
361 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
362     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
363     generated at configure time.
364    
365 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
366     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
367     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
368 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
369    
370 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
371    
372 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was

377 capela 653
378 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is

390 capela 619
391 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found

393 capela 590 info updates.
394 capela 586
395 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
396     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
397     device dialog.
398 capela 586
399 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
400    
401 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
402     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
403     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
404 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
405 capela 590
406 capela 600
407 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
408 schoenebeck 519
409 capela 3044 * Device configuration is now complete.
410 capela 426
411 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
412 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
413 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
414 capela 567
415 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
416 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
417 capela 426
418 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
419 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
420 capela 567
421 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
422 capela 526
423    
424 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
425 capela 327
426 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
427     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
428     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
429     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
430    
431 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
432     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
433     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
434    
435     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
436     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
437    
438 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
439    
440     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
441     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
442     change information are now also posted to messages window.
443    
444 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
445     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
446     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
447     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
448    
449 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
450     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
451 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
452    
453 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
454     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
455     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
456     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
457    
458     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
459 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
460     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
461    
462 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
463 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
464 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
465     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.

473    
474 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,

479     control structures.

509     over the empty workspace area.
510 capela 130
511 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
512     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
513     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
514     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
515    
516 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
517     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
518    
519     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
520     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
521

523     each sampler channel strip.
