153    
154 capela 2112 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
155 capela 2488 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
156 capela 2112
157 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
158 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
159     been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
160     instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
161 capela 2108
162 capela 2107 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
163    
164 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

168 capela 2074 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
169    
170 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

179     (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
180    
181 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
182     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
183    
184 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
185     a menu separator has been added.
186 capela 2036
187 capela 2038 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
188     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
189    
190     * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
191     widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
192     lame green solid background :).
193    
194 capela 2036 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
195 capela 2028 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
196

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

217    
218 capela 1815 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
219     font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
220     to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
221     (default none).
222 capela 1749
223 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
224     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
225     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
226    
227 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
228     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
229     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
230     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
231 capela 1740
232 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
233     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
234

236     screwed.
237    
238 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
239     e.g. by other frontends.
240 schoenebeck 1702
241 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
242     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
243     (fixes segfault on device changes)
244    
245 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
246     "View" main menu.
247 schoenebeck 1698
248 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
249    
250 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
251    
252 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
253     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
254 capela 1637
255 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
256     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
257 schoenebeck 1626
258    
259 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
260 schoenebeck 1461
261 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
262     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
263     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
264     default.
265 schoenebeck 1527
266 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
267     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
268    
269 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
270     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
271    
272 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
273     creating a new sampler channel.
274    
275     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
276    
277 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
278     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
279     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
280     first time).
281    
282 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
283     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
284 schoenebeck 1486
285 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
286    
287 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles

291 schoenebeck 1461
292    
293 capela 1437 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
294 capela 1234
295 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
296     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
297 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
298     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
299 capela 1394
300 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
301     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
302     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
303     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
304    
305 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
306     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
307     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
308    
309 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
310    
311    
312 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
313 schoenebeck 736
314 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
315     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
316     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
317    
318 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
319    
320 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
321     the session state, only at code-level.
322 capela 1036
323 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
324 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
325 capela 1016
326 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
327     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
328     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
329     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
330     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
331     corrected some tooltip text strings.
332 capela 971
333 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
334     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
335     window managers.
336    
337 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
338 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
339     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
340     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
341 capela 957
342 capela 969 * GPL address update.
343 capela 920
344    
345 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
346    
347     * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
348     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
349    
350 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
351    
352 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
353     installation paths have been added to configure command
354     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
355    
356 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
357     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
358     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
359     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
360     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
361    
362     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
363     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
364     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
365     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
366    
367 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
368    
369 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
370 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
371 capela 758
372 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
373     title name prefix.
374    
375 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
376     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
377     generated at configure time.
378    
379 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
380     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
381     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
382 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
383    
384 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
385    
386 schoenebeck 736 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
387     compiled with -no-stl.
388    
389

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

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

436 capela 526
437    
438 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
439 capela 327
440 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
441     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
442     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
443     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
444    
445 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
446     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
447     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
448    
449     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
450     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
451
