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

192    
193 capela 2065 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-

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

211     and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
212

230    
231 capela 1814 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
232     (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
233     settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
234     automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
235     a sampler the next time.
236 schoenebeck 1803

244     (default none).
245 capela 1749
246 capela 1740 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
247     the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
248     (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
249    
250 capela 1815 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
251     running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
252     iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
253     main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
254 capela 1740
255 capela 1738 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
256     with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
257

261 capela 1815 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
262     e.g. by other frontends.
263 schoenebeck 1702
264 schoenebeck 1699 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
265     e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
266     (fixes segfault on device changes)
267    
268 capela 1815 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
269     "View" main menu.
270 schoenebeck 1698
271 schoenebeck 1691 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
272

274    
275 capela 1815 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
276     strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
277 capela 1637
278 capela 1815 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
279     decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
280 schoenebeck 1626
281    
282 capela 1570 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
283 schoenebeck 1461
284 capela 1815 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
285     names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
286     the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
287     default.
288 schoenebeck 1527
289 capela 1514 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
290     evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
291

293     the main menu and toobar are not visible.
294    
295 capela 1509 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
296     creating a new sampler channel.
297    
298     * README requirements and configuration notes update.
299    
300 schoenebeck 1506 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
301     form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
302     users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
303     first time).
304    
305 capela 1499 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
306     which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
307 schoenebeck 1486
308 schoenebeck 1493 * Added Windows file path support.
309    
310 capela 1499 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles

317 capela 1234
318 capela 1394 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
319     mapping instrument files with special characters in their
320 schoenebeck 1402 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
321     and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
322 capela 1394
323 capela 1372 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
324     does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
325     instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
326     tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
327    
328 capela 1255 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
329     application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
330     spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
331    
332 capela 1234 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
333    
334    
335 capela 1166 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
336 schoenebeck 736
337 capela 1036 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
338     cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
339     highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
340    
341 capela 1034 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
342    
343 capela 1024 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
344     the session state, only at code-level.
345 capela 1036
346 capela 1016 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
347 capela 1018 existing instrument file name.
348 capela 1016
349 capela 987 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
350     hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
351     keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
352     improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
353     instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
354     corrected some tooltip text strings.
355 capela 971
356 capela 968 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
357     which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
358     window managers.
359    
360 capela 961 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
361 capela 1016 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
362     MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
363     the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
364 capela 957
365 capela 969 * GPL address update.
366 capela 920
367    
368 capela 870 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

371     on qsampler.spec (RPM).
372    
373 capela 847 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
374    
375 capela 825 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
376     installation paths have been added to configure command
377     arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
378    
379 capela 824 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
380     option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
381     number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
382     increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
383     (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
384    
385     * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
386     and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
387     are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
388     before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
389    
390 capela 772 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
391    
392 capela 758 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
393 capela 3044 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
394 capela 758
395 capela 757 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
396     title name prefix.
397    
398 capela 753 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
399     sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
400     generated at configure time.
401    
402 schoenebeck 1461 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
403     registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
404     to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
405 capela 752 argument have some effect on X11.
406    
407 capela 751 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
408

414 capela 653
415 schoenebeck 1461 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is

420     minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
421 capela 661

427 capela 619
428 capela 590 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
429 capela 605 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
430 capela 590 info updates.
431 capela 586
432 capela 622 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
433     buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the

436 capela 605 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
437    
438 capela 619 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
439     Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
440     with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
441 capela 615 Mayat, for pointing these out).
442 capela 590
443 capela 600

452 schoenebeck 1461 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
453 capela 619 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
454 capela 426
455 capela 619 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
456 schoenebeck 1461 an instrument.
457 capela 567
458 capela 619 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
459 capela 526
460    
461 capela 421 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
462 capela 327
463 capela 414 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
464     which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
465     configurations to the default audio driver type (which
466     is ALSA) unexpectedly.
467    
468 capela 409 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
469     session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
470     loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
471    
472     * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
473     session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
474    
475 capela 404 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
476    
477     * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
478     only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
479     change information are now also posted to messages window.
480    
481 capela 388 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
482     instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
483     drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
484     files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
485    
486 schoenebeck 1461 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
487     featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
488 capela 395 sampler instrument file.
489    
490 capela 341 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
491     from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
492     avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
493     channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
494    
495     * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
496 capela 340 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
497     a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
498    
499 capela 341 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
500 capela 327 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
501 capela 338 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
502     otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
503 capela 327
504    
505 capela 303 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
506 capela 115
507 capela 299 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
508     actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
509     the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
510    
511 capela 295 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
512     the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
513     following common user-interface guidelines.
514    
515 capela 264 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
516     control structures.
517    
518 capela 255 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
519    
520     * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
521     the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
522 capela 295 channel (omni mode).
523 capela 255
524     * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
525 capela 267 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
526 capela 255
527     * Minor configure fixes.
528    
529    
530     0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
531    
532 capela 145 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
533    
534 capela 176 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
535     and on session file save.
536 capela 145
537 capela 176 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
538     on create time.
539 capela 161
540 capela 176 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
541    
542    
543 capela 145 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
544    
545 capela 127 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
546     over the empty workspace area.
547 capela 130
548 capela 122 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
549     so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
550     avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
551     correct salvage of settings and configuration.
552    
553 capela 119 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
554     provided to override the default (which is 100%).
555    
556     * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
557     increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
558    
559 capela 118 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
560     each sampler channel strip.
561 capela 115
562 capela 118 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
563     qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
564    
565     * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
566 capela 115 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
567    
568 capela 118 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
569     new sampler channel strip.
570 capela 115
571     * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
572     suggested in the following lines:
573    
574     SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
575     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
576     SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
577     LOAD ENGINE ...
578     LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
579     SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
