145     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
146     Debian 6.
147    
148 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
149 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
150 capela 2112
151 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
152 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
153     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
154     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
155 capela 2108
156 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
157    
158 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

161    
162 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
163    
164 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

172     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
173     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
174    
175 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
176     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
177    
178 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
179     a menu separator has been added.
180 capela 2036
181 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
182     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
183    
184     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
185     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
186     lame green solid background :).
187    
188 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
189 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
190

201    
202 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
203     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
204     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
205     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
206     a sampler the next time.
207 schoenebeck 1803
208 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.

211    
212 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
213     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
214     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
215     (default none).
216 capela 1749
217 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
218     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
219     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
220    
221 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
222     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
223     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
224     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
225 capela 1740
226 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
227     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
228

230     screwed.
231    
232 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
233     e.g. by other frontends.
234 schoenebeck 1702
235 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
236     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
237     (fixes segfault on device changes)
238    
239 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
240     "View" main menu.
241 schoenebeck 1698
242 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
243    
244 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
245    
246 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
247     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
248 capela 1637
249 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
250     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
251 schoenebeck 1626
252    
253 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
254 schoenebeck 1461
255 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
256     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
257     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
258     default.
259 schoenebeck 1527
260 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
261     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
262

264     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
265    
266 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
267     creating a new sampler channel.
268    
269     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
270    
271 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
272     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
273     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
274     first time).
275    
276 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
277     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
278 schoenebeck 1486
279 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
280    
281 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
282     under win32.
283 schoenebeck 1493
284 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
285 schoenebeck 1461

288 capela 1234
289 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
290     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
291 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
292     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
293 capela 1394
294 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
295     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
296     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
297     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
298    
299 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
300     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
301     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
302    
303 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
304    
305    
306 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
307 schoenebeck 736
308 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
309     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
310     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
311    
312 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
313    
314 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
315     the session state, only at code-level.
316 capela 1036

318 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
319 capela 1016
320 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
321     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
322     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
323     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
324     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
325     corrected some tooltip text strings.
326 capela 971
327 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
328     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
329     window managers.
330    
331 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
332 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
333     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in

335 capela 957
336 capela 969 * GPL address update.
337 capela 920
338    
339 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

341     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
342     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
343    
344 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
345    
346 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
347     installation paths have been added to configure command
348     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
349    
350 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
351     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
352     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
353     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
354     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
355    
356     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
357     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
358     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
359     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
360    
361 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
362    
363 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
364 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
365 capela 758
366 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
367     title name prefix.
368    
369 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
370     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
371     generated at configure time.
372    
373 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
374     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
375     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
376 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
377    
378 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
379

385 capela 653
386 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is

398 capela 619
399 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found

401 capela 590 info updates.
402 capela 586
403 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
404     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
405     device dialog.
406 capela 586
407 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
408    
409 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
410     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
411     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
412 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
413 capela 590
414 capela 600
415 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
416 schoenebeck 519
417 capela 3044 * Device configuration is now complete.
418 capela 426
419 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
420 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
421 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
422 capela 567
423 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
424 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
425 capela 426
426 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
427 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
428 capela 567
429 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
430 capela 526
431    
432 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
433 capela 327
434 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
435     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
436     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
437     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
438    
439 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
440     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
441     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
442    
443     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
444     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
445    
446 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
447    
448     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
449     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
450     change information are now also posted to messages window.
451    
452 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
453     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
454     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
455     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
456    
457 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
458     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
459 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
460    
461 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
462     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
463     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
464     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
465    
466     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
467 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
468     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
469    
470 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
471 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
472 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
473     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
474 capela 327
475    
476 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
477 capela 115
478 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
479     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
480     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
481    
482 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
483     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
484     following common user-interface guidelines.
485    
486 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
487     control structures.
488    
489 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
490    
491     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
492     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
493 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
494 capela 255
495     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
496 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
497 capela 255
498     * Minor configure fixes.
499    
500    
501     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
502    
503 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
504    
505 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
506     and on session file save.
507 capela 145
508 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
509     on create time.
510 capela 161
511 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
512    
513    
514 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
515    
516 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
517     over the empty workspace area.
518 capela 130
519 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
520     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
521     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
522     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
523    
524 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
525     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
526    
527     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
528     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
529    
530 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
531     each sampler channel strip.
532 capela 115
533 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
534     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
535    
536     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
537 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
538    
539 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
540     new sampler channel strip.
541 capela 115
542     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
543     suggested in the following lines:
544    
545     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
546     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
547     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
548     LOAD ENGINE ...
549     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
550     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
551
