186    
187 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

197    
198 capela 2050 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
199     just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
200    
201 capela 2038 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
202     a menu separator has been added.
203 capela 2036

224    
225 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
226     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
227     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
228     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
229     a sampler the next time.
230 schoenebeck 1803

238     (default none).
239 capela 1749
240 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
241     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
242     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
243    
244 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
245     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
246     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
247     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
248 capela 1740
249 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
250     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.

256     e.g. by other frontends.
257 schoenebeck 1702
258 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
259     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
260     (fixes segfault on device changes)
261    
262 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
263     "View" main menu.
264 schoenebeck 1698
265 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
266

268    
269 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
270     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
271 capela 1637
272 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
273     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
274 schoenebeck 1626
275    
276 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
277 schoenebeck 1461
278 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
279     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
280     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
281     default.
282 schoenebeck 1527
283 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
284     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
285

287     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
288    
289 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
290     creating a new sampler channel.
291    
292     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
293    
294 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
295     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
296     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
297     first time).
298    
299 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
300     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
301 schoenebeck 1486
302 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
303    
304 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles

311 capela 1234
312 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
313     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
314 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
315     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
316 capela 1394
317 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
318     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
319     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
320     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
321    
322 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
323     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
324     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
325    
326 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
327    
328    
329 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
330 schoenebeck 736
331 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
332     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
333     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
334    
335 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
336    
337 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
338     the session state, only at code-level.
339 capela 1036

341 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
342 capela 1016
343 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
344     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
345     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
346     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
347     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
348     corrected some tooltip text strings.
349 capela 971
350 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
351     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
352     window managers.
353    
354 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
355 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
356     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in

358 capela 957
359 capela 969 * GPL address update.
360 capela 920

366    
367 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
368    
369 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
370     installation paths have been added to configure command
371     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
372    
373 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
374     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
375     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
376     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
377     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
378    
379     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
380     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
381     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
382     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
383    
384 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
385    
386 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
387 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
388 capela 758
389 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
390     title name prefix.
391    
392 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
393     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
394     generated at configure time.
395    
396 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
397     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal

399 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
400    
401 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
402

408 capela 653
409 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is

421 capela 619
422 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found

424 capela 590 info updates.
425 capela 586
426 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
427     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the

431    
432 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and

452 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
453 capela 526
454    
455 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
456 capela 327
457 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
458     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
459     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
460     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
461    
462 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
463     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
464     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
465    
466     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
467     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
468    
469 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
470    
471     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
472     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
473     change information are now also posted to messages window.
474    
475 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
476     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
477     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
478     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
479    
480 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
481     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
482 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
483    
484 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
485     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
486     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
487     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
488    
489     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
490 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
491     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
492    
493 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
494 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
495 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
496     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
497 capela 327
498    
499 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
500 capela 115
501 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
502     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
503     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
504    
505 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
506     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
507     following common user-interface guidelines.
508    
509 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
510     control structures.
511    
512 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
513    
514     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
515     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
516 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
517 capela 255
518     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
519 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
520 capela 255
521     * Minor configure fixes.
522    
523    
524     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
525    
526 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
527    
528 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
529     and on session file save.
530 capela 145
531 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
532     on create time.
533 capela 161
534 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
535

539 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
540     over the empty workspace area.
541 capela 130
542 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
543     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
544     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
545     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
546    
547 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
548     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
549    
550     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
551     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
552    
553 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
554     each sampler channel strip.

560 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
561    
562 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
563     new sampler channel strip.
564 capela 115
565     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
566     suggested in the following lines:
567    
568     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
569     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
570     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
571     LOAD ENGINE ...
572     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
573     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
