153 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
154 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
155     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
156     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
157 capela 2108
158 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
159    
160 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

165    
166 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

175     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
176    
177 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
178     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
179    
180 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
181     a menu separator has been added.

184     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
185    
186     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
187     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a

203    
204 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
205     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
206     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
207     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to

217     (default none).
218 capela 1749
219 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
220     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
221     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
222    
223 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
224     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
225     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
226     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
227 capela 1740
228 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
229     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.

234 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
235     e.g. by other frontends.
236 schoenebeck 1702
237 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
238     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
239     (fixes segfault on device changes)
240    
241 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
242     "View" main menu.
243 schoenebeck 1698

247    
248 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
249     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
250 capela 1637
251 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
252     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
253 schoenebeck 1626
254    
255 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
256 schoenebeck 1461
257 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
258     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
259     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
260     default.
261 schoenebeck 1527
262 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
263     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).

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

290 capela 1234
291 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
292     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
293 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
294     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
295 capela 1394
296 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
297     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
298     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
299     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
300    
301 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
302     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
303     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.

306    
307    
308 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
309 schoenebeck 736
310 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
311     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
312     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
313    
314 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
315    
316 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
317     the session state, only at code-level.
318 capela 1036

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

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

380 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
381

410    
411 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and

415 capela 590
416 capela 600

435 capela 327
436 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
437     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
438     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
439     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
440    
441 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
442     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
443     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
444    
445     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
446     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
447    
448 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.

451     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
452     change information are now also posted to messages window.
453    
454 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
455     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
456     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
457     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
458    
459 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
460     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
461 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
462    
463 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
464     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
465     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
466     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
467    
468     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
469 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
470     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
471    
472 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
473 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
474 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
475     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
476 capela 327
477    
478 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
479 capela 115
480 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
481     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
482     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
483    
484 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
485     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
486     following common user-interface guidelines.
487    
488 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
489     control structures.
490    
491 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
492    
493     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
494     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
495 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
496 capela 255
497     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
498 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
499 capela 255
500     * Minor configure fixes.
501    
502    
503     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
504    
505 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
506    
507 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
508     and on session file save.
509 capela 145
510 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
511     on create time.
512 capela 161
513 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
514    
515    
516 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
517    
518 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
519     over the empty workspace area.
520 capela 130
521 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
522     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
523     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
524     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
525    
526 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
527     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
528    
529     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
530     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
531    
532 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
533     each sampler channel strip.
534 capela 115
535 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
536     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
537    
538     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
539 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
540    
541 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
542     new sampler channel strip.
543 capela 115
544     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
545     suggested in the following lines:
546    
547     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
548     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
549     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
550     LOAD ENGINE ...
551     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
552     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
553    
554
