177 capela 2108 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
178 capela 2110 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has

183    
184 capela 2077 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has

189    
190 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

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

208     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
209

227    
228 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
229     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
230     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
231     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
232     a sampler the next time.
233 schoenebeck 1803
234 capela 1788 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.

241     (default none).
242 capela 1749
243 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
244     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
245     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
246    
247 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
248     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
249     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
250     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
251 capela 1740
252 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
253     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
254

258 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
259     e.g. by other frontends.
260 schoenebeck 1702
261 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
262     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
263     (fixes segfault on device changes)
264    
265 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
266     "View" main menu.
267 schoenebeck 1698
268 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
269    
270 schoenebeck 1668 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
271    
272 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
273     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
274 capela 1637
275 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
276     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
277 schoenebeck 1626
278    
279 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
280 schoenebeck 1461
281 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
282     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
283     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
284     default.
285 schoenebeck 1527
286 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
287     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
288    
289 capela 1512 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
290     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
291    
292 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
293     creating a new sampler channel.
294    
295     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
296    
297 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
298     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
299     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
300     first time).
301    
302 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
303     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
304 schoenebeck 1486
305 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
306    
307 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles

314 capela 1234
315 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
316     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
317 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
318     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
319 capela 1394
320 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
321     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
322     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
323     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
324    
325 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
326     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
327     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
328    
329 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
330    
331    
332 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
333 schoenebeck 736
334 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
335     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
336     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
337    
338 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
339    
340 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
341     the session state, only at code-level.
342 capela 1036
343 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
344 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
345 capela 1016
346 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
347     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
348     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
349     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
350     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
351     corrected some tooltip text strings.
352 capela 971
353 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
354     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
355     window managers.
356    
357 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
358 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
359     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
360     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
361 capela 957
362 capela 969 * GPL address update.
363 capela 920
364    
365 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

368     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
369    
370 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
371    
372 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
373     installation paths have been added to configure command
374     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
375    
376 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
377     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
378     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
379     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
380     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
381    
382     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
383     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
384     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
385     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
386    
387 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
388    
389 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
390 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
391 capela 758
392 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
393     title name prefix.
394    
395 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
396     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
397     generated at configure time.
398    
399 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
400     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
401     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
402 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
403    
404 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
405

411 capela 653
412 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is

424 capela 619
425 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found

434    
435 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and

452 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
453 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
454 capela 567
455 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
456 capela 526
457    
458 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
459 capela 327
460 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
461     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
462     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
463     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
464    
465 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
466     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
467     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
468    
469     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
470     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
471    
472 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
473    
474     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
475     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;

477    
478 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
479     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
480     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
481     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
482    
483 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
484     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
485 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
486    
487 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
488     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
489     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
490     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
491    
492     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
493 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
494     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
495    
496 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
497 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
498 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
499     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
500 capela 327
501    
502 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
503 capela 115
504 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
505     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
506     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
507    
508 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
509     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
510     following common user-interface guidelines.
511    
512 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
513     control structures.
514    
515 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
516    
517     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
518     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
519 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
520 capela 255
521     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
522 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
523 capela 255
524     * Minor configure fixes.
525    
526    
527     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
528    
529 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
530    
531 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
532     and on session file save.
533 capela 145
534 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
535     on create time.
536 capela 161
537 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
538

542 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
543     over the empty workspace area.
544 capela 130
545 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
546     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
547     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
548     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
549    
550 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
551     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
552    
553     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
554     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
555    
556 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
557     each sampler channel strip.

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