|
- Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command |
10 |
|
line options, wrt. installation directories specification, |
11 |
|
eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir. |

|
0.4.1 2016-09-14 End of Summer'16 release. |
16 |
|
|
17 |
|
* Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended |
18 |
|
in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange. |
19 |
|
|
20 |
|
* Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant |
21 |
|
given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido |
22 |
|
Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks). |
23 |
|
|
24 |
|
* Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to |
25 |
|
auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color. |
26 |
|
|
27 |
|
|
28 |
|

32 |
|
* Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms. |
33 |
|
|
34 |
|
* Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now |
35 |
|
in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get. |
36 |
|
|
37 |
|
* Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11. |
38 |
|
|
39 |
|
|
40 |
|
0.3.1 2015-07-19 Summer'15 release frenzy. |
41 |
|
|
42 |
|
* Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some |
43 |
|
64bit Linux flavours. |
44 |
|
|
45 |
|
* Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script. |
46 |
|
|
47 |
|
* A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore |
48 |
|
sub-routine is now in effect. (EXPERIMENTAL) |
49 |
|
|
50 |
|
* Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds. |
51 |
|
|
52 |
|
|
53 |
|
0.3.0 2015-03-25 Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy. |
54 |
|
|
55 |
|
* Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData. |
56 |
|
|
57 |
|
* Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most |
58 |
|
of the nagging warning/error message boxes. |
59 |
|
|
60 |
|
* Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary. |
61 |
|
|
62 |
|
* When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to |
63 |
|
stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes". |
64 |
|
|
65 |
|
* Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its |
66 |
|
main toolbar orientation. |
67 |
|
|
68 |
|
* Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved |
69 |
|
as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. |
70 |
|
|
71 |
|
* Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir. |
72 |
|
|
73 |
|
* A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on |
74 |
|
debian, thanks). |
75 |
|
|
76 |
|
* Translations install directory change. |
77 |
|
|
78 |
|
* Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration. |
79 |
|
|
80 |
|
* Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when |
81 |
|
the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among |
82 |
|
instruments of the same file. |
83 |
|
|
84 |
|
* Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir |
85 |
|
(impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0). |
86 |
|
|
87 |
|
|
88 |
|
0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee. |
89 |
|
|
90 |
|
* Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS. |
91 |
|
|
92 |
|
* More preparations for Qt5 configure build. |
93 |
|
|
94 |
|
* Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for |
95 |
|
session files (*.lscp) is now being added. |
96 |
|
|
97 |
|
* Preparations for Qt5 migration. |
98 |
|
|
99 |
|
* Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures. |
100 |
|
|
101 |
|
* Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses. |
102 |
|
|
103 |
|
* Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the |
104 |
|
configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir. |
105 |
|
|
106 |
|
* Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle. |
107 |
|
|
108 |
|
* Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix. |
109 |
|
|
110 |
|
* Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads. |
111 |
|
|
112 |
|
* Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows. |
113 |
|
|
114 |
|
* Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure |
115 |
|
and make. |
116 |
|
|
117 |
|
* libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, |
118 |
|
as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, |
119 |
|
Debian 6. |
120 |
|
|
121 |
|
* Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling |
122 |
|
into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. |
123 |
|
|
124 |
|
* Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for |
125 |
|
other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has |
126 |
|
been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines |
127 |
|
instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2). |
128 |
|
|
129 |
|
* General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place. |
130 |
|
|
131 |
|
* Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has |
132 |
|
been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to |
133 |
|
wrong main widget hidden state. |
134 |
|
|
135 |
|
* General source tree layout and build configuration change. |
136 |
|
|
137 |
|
* Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back- |
138 |
|
traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure |
139 |
|
option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build |
140 |
|
targets (--enable-debug). |
141 |
|
|
142 |
|
* Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6. |
143 |
|
|
144 |
|
* Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher: |
145 |
|
now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit |
146 |
|
(65536), possibly fixing bug #136. |
147 |
|
|
148 |
|
* LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap |
149 |
|
just makes it a shortcut to File/Save. |
150 |
|
|
151 |
|
* MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists; |
152 |
|
a menu separator has been added. |
153 |
|
|
154 |
|
* Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices |
155 |
|
and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed. |
156 |
|
|
157 |
|
* MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status |
158 |
|
widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a |
159 |
|
lame green solid background :). |
160 |
|
|
161 |
|
* Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to |
162 |
|
disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied. |
163 |
|
|
164 |
|
* Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric). |
165 |
|
|
166 |
|
|
167 |
|
0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle. |
168 |
|
|
169 |
|
* Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as |
170 |
|
brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom |
171 |
|
ever may follow ;) |
172 |
|
|
173 |
|
* Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons. |
174 |
|
|
175 |
|
* Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting |
176 |
|
(accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning |
177 |
|
settings will be saved in case the user modified them and |
178 |
|
automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to |
179 |
|
a sampler the next time. |
180 |
|
|
181 |
|
* Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. |
182 |
|
|
183 |
|
* Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. |
184 |
|
|
185 |
|
* Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding |
186 |
|
font size configuration, a new global user option is now available |
187 |
|
to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size |
188 |
|
(default none). |
189 |
|
|
190 |
|
* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of |
191 |
|
the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode. |
192 |
|
(transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). |
193 |
|
|
194 |
|
* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and |
195 |
|
running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup |
196 |
|
iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its |
197 |
|
main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). |
198 |
|
|
199 |
|
* Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, |
200 |
|
with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging. |
201 |
|
|
202 |
|
* Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were |
203 |
|
screwed. |
204 |
|
|
205 |
|
* Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed |
206 |
|
e.g. by other frontends. |
207 |
|
|
208 |
|
* Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed, |
209 |
|
e.g. on changes caused by other frontends |
210 |
|
(fixes segfault on device changes) |
211 |
|
|
212 |
|
* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the |
213 |
|
"View" main menu. |
214 |
|
|
215 |
|
* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. |
216 |
|
|
217 |
|
* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. |
218 |
|
|
219 |
|
* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel |
220 |
|
strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. |
221 |
|
|
222 |
|
* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user |
223 |
|
decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. |
224 |
|
|
225 |
|
|
226 |
|
0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. |
227 |
|
|
228 |
|
* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument |
229 |
|
names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then |
230 |
|
the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by |
231 |
|
default. |
232 |
|
|
233 |
|
* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually |
234 |
|
evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). |
235 |
|
|
236 |
|
* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though |
237 |
|
the main menu and toobar are not visible. |
238 |
|
|
239 |
|
* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when |
240 |
|
creating a new sampler channel. |
241 |
|
|
242 |
|
* README requirements and configuration notes update. |
243 |
|
|
244 |
|
* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument |
245 |
|
form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie |
246 |
|
users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the |
247 |
|
first time). |
248 |
|
|
249 |
|
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters |
250 |
|
which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). |
251 |
|
|
252 |
|
* Added Windows file path support. |
253 |
|
|
254 |
|
* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles |
255 |
|
under win32. |
256 |
|
|
257 |
|
* Qt4 port of the application. |
258 |
|
|
259 |
|
|
260 |
|
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
261 |
|
|
262 |
|
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
263 |
|
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
264 |
|
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
265 |
|
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
266 |
|
|
267 |
|
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
268 |
|
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
269 |
|
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
270 |
|
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
271 |
|
|
272 |
|
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
273 |
|
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
274 |
|
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
275 |
|
|
276 |
|
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
277 |
|
|
278 |
|
|
279 |
|
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
280 |
|
|
281 |
|
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
282 |
|
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
283 |
|
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
284 |
|
|
285 |
|
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
286 |
|
|
287 |
|
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
288 |
|
the session state, only at code-level. |
289 |
|
|
290 |
|
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
291 |
|
existing instrument file name. |
292 |
|
|
293 |
|
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
294 |
|
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
295 |
|
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
296 |
|
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
297 |
|
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
298 |
|
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
299 |
|
|
300 |
|
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
301 |
|
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
302 |
|
window managers. |
303 |
|
|
304 |
|
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
305 |
|
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
306 |
|
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
307 |
|
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
308 |
|
|
309 |
|
* GPL address update. |
310 |
|
|
311 |
|
|
312 |
|
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
313 |
|
|
314 |
|
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
315 |
|
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
316 |
|
|
317 |
|
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
318 |
|
|
319 |
|
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
320 |
|
installation paths have been added to configure command |
321 |
|
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
322 |
|
|
323 |
|
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
324 |
|
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
325 |
|
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
326 |
|
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
327 |
|
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
328 |
|
|
329 |
|
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
330 |
|
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
331 |
|
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
332 |
|
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
333 |
|
|
334 |
|
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
335 |
|
|
336 |
|
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
337 |
|
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
338 |
|
|
339 |
|
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
340 |
|
title name prefix. |
341 |
|
|
342 |
|
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
343 |
|
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
344 |
|
generated at configure time. |
345 |
|
|
346 |
|
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
347 |
|
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
348 |
|
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
349 |
|
argument have some effect on X11. |
350 |
|
|
351 |
|
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
352 |
|
|
353 |
|
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
354 |
|
compiled with -no-stl. |
355 |
|
|
356 |
|
|
357 |
|
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
358 |
|
|
359 |
|
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
360 |
|
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
361 |
|
one, while on qjackctl). |
362 |
|
|
363 |
|
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
364 |
|
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
365 |
|
|
366 |
|
|
367 |
|
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
368 |
|
|
369 |
|
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
370 |
|
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
371 |
|
|
372 |
|
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
373 |
|
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
374 |
|
info updates. |
375 |
|
|
376 |
|
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
377 |
|
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
378 |
|
device dialog. |
379 |
|
|
380 |
|
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
381 |
|
|
382 |
|
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
383 |
|
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
384 |
|
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
385 |
|
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
386 |
|
|
387 |
|
|
388 |
|
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
389 |
|
|
390 |
|
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
391 |
|
|
392 |
|
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
393 |
|
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
394 |
|
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
395 |
|
|
396 |
|
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
397 |
|
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
398 |
|
|
399 |
|
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
400 |
|
an instrument. |
401 |
|
|
402 |
|
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
403 |

0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
406 |
|
|
407 |
|
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
408 |
|
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
409 |
|
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
410 |
|
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
411 |
|
|
412 |
|
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
413 |
|
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
414 |
|
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
415 |
|
|
416 |
|
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
417 |
|
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
418 |
|
|
419 |
|
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
420 |
|
|
421 |
|
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
422 |
|
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
423 |
|
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
424 |
|
|
425 |
|
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
426 |
|
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
427 |
|
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
428 |
|
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
429 |
|
|
430 |
|
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
431 |
|
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
432 |
|
sampler instrument file. |
433 |
|
|
434 |
|
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
435 |
|
from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, |
436 |
|
avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the |
437 |
|
channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. |
438 |
|
|
439 |
|
* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where |
440 |
|
available, as the default handler is usually fatal when |
441 |
|
a JACK client is zombified abruptly. |
442 |
|
|
443 |
|
* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line |
444 |
|
count exceeds in one third the user configured line count |
445 |
|
maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is |
446 |
|
otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. |

|
0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. |
450 |
|
|
451 |
|
* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; |
452 |
|
actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from |
453 |
|
the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. |
454 |
|
|
455 |
|
* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, |
456 |
|
the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, |
457 |
|
following common user-interface guidelines. |
458 |
|
|
459 |
|
* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal |
460 |
|
control structures. |
461 |
|
|
462 |
|
* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. |
463 |
|
|
464 |
|
* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing |
465 |
|
the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler |
466 |
|
channel (omni mode). |
467 |
|
|
468 |
|
* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background |
469 |
|
color to black (was green), being now an user option. |
470 |
|
|
471 |
|
* Minor configure fixes. |
