0.0.3 2004-06-27 Work in progress... |
CVS HEAD |
7 |
|
|
8 |
|
* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View" |
9 |
|
main menu. |
10 |
|
|
11 |
|
* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. |
12 |
|
|
13 |
|
* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. |
14 |
|
|
15 |
|
* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip, |
16 |
|
particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. |
17 |
|
|
18 |
|
* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide |
19 |
|
whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. |
20 |
|
|
21 |
|
|
22 |
|
0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. |
23 |
|
|
24 |
|
* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a |
25 |
|
very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective |
26 |
|
name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default. |
27 |
|
|
28 |
|
* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually |
29 |
|
evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). |
30 |
|
|
31 |
|
* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though |
32 |
|
the main menu and toobar are not visible. |
33 |
|
|
34 |
|
* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when |
35 |
|
creating a new sampler channel. |
36 |
|
|
37 |
|
* README requirements and configuration notes update. |
38 |
|
|
39 |
|
* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument |
40 |
|
form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie |
41 |
|
users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the |
42 |
|
first time). |
43 |
|
|
44 |
|
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters |
45 |
|
which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). |
46 |
|
|
47 |
|
* Added Windows file path support. |
48 |
|
|
49 |
|
* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles |
50 |
|
under win32. |
51 |
|
|
52 |
|
* Qt4 port of the application. |
53 |
|
|
54 |
|
|
55 |
|
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
56 |
|
|
57 |
|
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
58 |
|
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
59 |
|
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
60 |
|
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
61 |
|
|
62 |
|
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
63 |
|
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
64 |
|
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
65 |
|
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
66 |
|
|
67 |
|
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
68 |
|
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
69 |
|
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
70 |
|
|
71 |
|
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
72 |
|
|
73 |
|
|
74 |
|
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
75 |
|
|
76 |
|
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
77 |
|
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
78 |
|
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
79 |
|
|
80 |
|
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
81 |
|
|
82 |
|
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
83 |
|
the session state, only at code-level. |
84 |
|
|
85 |
|
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
86 |
|
existing instrument file name. |
87 |
|
|
88 |
|
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
89 |
|
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
90 |
|
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
91 |
|
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
92 |
|
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
93 |
|
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
94 |
|
|
95 |
|
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
96 |
|
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
97 |
|
window managers. |
98 |
|
|
99 |
|
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
100 |
|
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
101 |
|
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
102 |
|
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
103 |
|
|
104 |
|
* GPL address update. |
105 |
|
|
106 |
|
|
107 |
|
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
108 |
|
|
109 |
|
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
110 |
|
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
111 |
|
|
112 |
|
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
113 |
|
|
114 |
|
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
115 |
|
installation paths have been added to configure command |
116 |
|
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
117 |
|
|
118 |
|
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
119 |
|
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
120 |
|
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
121 |
|
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
122 |
|
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
123 |
|
|
124 |
|
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
125 |
|
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
126 |
|
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
127 |
|
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
128 |
|
|
129 |
|
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
130 |
|
|
131 |
|
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
132 |
|
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
133 |
|
|
134 |
|
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
135 |
|
title name prefix. |
136 |
|
|
137 |
|
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
138 |
|
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
139 |
|
generated at configure time. |
140 |
|
|
141 |
|
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
142 |
|
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
143 |
|
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
144 |
|
argument have some effect on X11. |
145 |
|
|
146 |
|
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
147 |
|
|
148 |
|
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
149 |
|
compiled with -no-stl. |
150 |
|
|
151 |
|
|
152 |
|
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
153 |
|
|
154 |
|
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
155 |
|
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
156 |
|
one, while on qjackctl). |
157 |
|
|
158 |
|
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
159 |
|
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
160 |
|
|
161 |
|
|
162 |
|
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
163 |
|
|
164 |
|
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
165 |
|
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
166 |
|
|
167 |
|
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
168 |
|
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
169 |
|
info updates. |
170 |
|
|
171 |
|
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
172 |
|
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
173 |
|
device dialog. |
174 |
|
|
175 |
|
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
176 |
|
|
177 |
|
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
178 |
|
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
179 |
|
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
180 |
|
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
181 |
|
|
182 |
|
|
183 |
|
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
184 |
|
|
185 |
|
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
186 |
|
|
187 |
|
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
188 |
|
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
189 |
|
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
190 |
|
|
191 |
|
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
192 |
|
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
193 |
|
|
194 |
|
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
195 |
|
an instrument. |
196 |
|
|
197 |
|
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
198 |
|
|
199 |
|
|
200 |
|
0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
201 |
|
|
202 |
|
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
203 |
|
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
204 |
|
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
205 |
|
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
206 |
|
|
207 |
|
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
208 |
|
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
209 |
|
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
210 |
|
|
211 |
|
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
212 |
|
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
213 |
|
|
214 |
|
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
215 |
|
|
216 |
|
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
217 |
|
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
218 |
|
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
219 |
|
|
220 |
|
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
221 |
|
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
222 |
|
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
223 |
|
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
224 |
|
|
225 |
|
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
226 |
|
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
227 |
|
sampler instrument file. |
228 |
|
|
229 |
|
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
230 |
|
from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, |
231 |
|
avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the |
232 |
|
channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. |
233 |
|
|
234 |
|
* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where |
235 |
|
available, as the default handler is usually fatal when |
236 |
|
a JACK client is zombified abruptly. |
237 |
|
|
238 |
|
* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line |
239 |
|
count exceeds in one third the user configured line count |
240 |
|
maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is |
241 |
|
otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. |
242 |
|
|
243 |
|
|
244 |
|
0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. |
245 |
|
|
246 |
|
* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; |
247 |
|
actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from |
248 |
|
the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. |
249 |
|
|
250 |
|
* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, |
251 |
|
the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, |
252 |
|
following common user-interface guidelines. |
253 |
|
|
254 |
|
* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal |
255 |
|
control structures. |
256 |
|
|
257 |
|
* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. |
258 |
|
|
259 |
|
* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing |
260 |
|
the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler |
261 |
|
channel (omni mode). |
262 |
|
|
263 |
|
* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background |
264 |
|
color to black (was green), being now an user option. |
265 |
|
|
266 |
|
* Minor configure fixes. |
267 |
|
|
268 |
|
|
269 |
|
0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release. |
270 |
|
|
271 |
* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. |
* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. |
272 |

274 |
|
and on session file save. |
275 |
|
|
276 |
|
* Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults |
277 |
|
on create time. |
