146     and make.
147    
148 capela 2116 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
149     as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
150     Debian 6.
151    
152 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
153 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
154 capela 2112
155 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
156 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
157     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
158     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
159 capela 2108
160 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
161    
162 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

165    
166 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
167    
168 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

176     now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
177     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
178    
179 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
180     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
181    
182 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
183     a menu separator has been added.
184 capela 2036
185 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
186     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
187    
188     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
189     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
190     lame green solid background :).
191    
192 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
193 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
194

204 capela 1840 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
205    
206 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
207     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
208     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
209     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
210     a sampler the next time.
211 schoenebeck 1803
212 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
213

215    
216 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
217     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
218     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
219     (default none).
220 capela 1749
221 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
222     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
223     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
224    
225 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
226     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
227     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
228     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
229 capela 1740
230 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
231     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
232

234     screwed.
235    
236 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
237     e.g. by other frontends.
238 schoenebeck 1702
239 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
240     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
241     (fixes segfault on device changes)
242    
243 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
244     "View" main menu.
245 schoenebeck 1698
246 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
247    
248 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
249    
250 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
251     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
252 capela 1637
253 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
254     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
255 schoenebeck 1626
256    
257 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
258 schoenebeck 1461
259 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
260     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
261     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
262     default.
263 schoenebeck 1527
264 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
265     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
266    
267 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
268     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
269    
270 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
271     creating a new sampler channel.
272    
273     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
274    
275 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
276     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
277     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
278     first time).
279    
280 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
281     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
282 schoenebeck 1486
283 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
284    
285 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
286     under win32.
287 schoenebeck 1493
288 schoenebeck 1492 * Qt4 port of the application.
289 schoenebeck 1461
290    
291 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
292 capela 1234
293 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
294     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
295 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
296     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
297 capela 1394
298 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
299     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
300     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
301     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
302    
303 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
304     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
305     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
306    
307 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
308    
309    
310 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
311 schoenebeck 736
312 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
313     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
314     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
315    
316 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
317    
318 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
319     the session state, only at code-level.
320 capela 1036
321 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
322 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
323 capela 1016
324 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
325     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
326     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
327     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
328     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
329     corrected some tooltip text strings.
330 capela 971
331 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
332     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
333     window managers.
334    
335 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
336 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
337     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
338     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
339 capela 957
340 capela 969 * GPL address update.
341 capela 920
342    
343 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
344    
345     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
346     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
347    
348 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
349    
350 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
351     installation paths have been added to configure command
352     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
353    
354 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
355     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
356     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
357     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
358     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
359    
360     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
361     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
362     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
363     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
364    
365 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
366    
367 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
368 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
369 capela 758
370 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
371     title name prefix.
372    
373 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
374     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
375     generated at configure time.
376    
377 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
378     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
379     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
380 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
381    
382 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
383    
384 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
385     compiled with -no-stl.
386    
387

389 capela 653
390 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
391 capela 661 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
392     one, while on qjackctl).
393 capela 653
394 capela 664 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
395     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
396 capela 661

401 capela 601 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
402 capela 619
403 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
404 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
405 capela 590 info updates.
406 capela 586
407 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
408     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
409     device dialog.
410 capela 586
411 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
412    
413 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
414     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
415     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
416 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
417 capela 590
418 capela 600
419 capela 567 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
420 schoenebeck 519
421 capela 3044 * Device configuration is now complete.
422 capela 426
423 capela 526 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
424 capela 619 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
425 capela 526 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
426 capela 567
427 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new

434 capela 526
435    
436 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
437 capela 327
438 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
439     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
440     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
441     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
442    
443 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
444     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
445     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
446    
447     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
448     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
449    
450 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
