in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange. |
27 |
|
|
28 |
|
* Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant |
29 |

given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido |
30 |
|
Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks). |
31 |
|
|
32 |
|
* Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to |

|
|
60 |
|
|

69 |
|
|
70 |
|

|
|
73 |
|
* Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its |
74 |
|
main toolbar orientation. |
75 |
|
|

77 |
|
as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. |
78 |

87 |
|
|
88 |
|
* Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when |
89 |
|

90 |
|
instruments of the same file. |
91 |
|
|
92 |
|
* Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir |
93 |

94 |
|
|
95 |
|
|
96 |
|
0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee. |
97 |
|
|
98 |
|
* Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS. |
99 |
|
|
100 |

101 |
|
|
102 |
|
* Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for |
103 |
|
session files (*.lscp) is now being added. |
104 |
|
|
105 |
|
* Preparations for Qt5 migration. |
106 |
|
|
107 |
|
* Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures. |
108 |
|
|
109 |

110 |
|
|
111 |
|

112 |
|
configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir. |
113 |
|
|
114 |
|
* Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle. |
115 |
|
|
116 |
|
* Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix. |
117 |
|
|
118 |
|
* Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads. |
119 |
|
|
120 |
|
* Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows. |
121 |
|
|
122 |
|
* Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure |
123 |
|
and make. |
124 |
|
|
125 |
|
* libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase, |
126 |
|
as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, |
127 |
|
Debian 6. |
128 |
|
|
129 |
|
* Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling |
130 |
|
into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. |
131 |
|
|
132 |
|
* Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for |
133 |
|
other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has |
134 |
|
been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines |
135 |
|
instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2). |
136 |
|
|
137 |
|
* General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place. |
138 |
|
|
139 |
|
* Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has |
140 |
|
been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to |
141 |
|
wrong main widget hidden state. |
142 |
|
|
143 |
|
* General source tree layout and build configuration change. |
144 |
|
|
145 |
|
* Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back- |
146 |
|
traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure |
147 |
|
option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build |
148 |
|
targets (--enable-debug). |
149 |
|
|
150 |
|
* Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6. |
151 |
|
|
152 |
|
* Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher: |
153 |
|
now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit |
154 |
|
(65536), possibly fixing bug #136. |
155 |
|
|
156 |
|
* LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap |
157 |
|
just makes it a shortcut to File/Save. |
158 |
|
|
159 |
|
* MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists; |
160 |
|
a menu separator has been added. |
161 |
|
|
162 |
|
* Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices |
163 |
|
and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed. |
164 |
|
|
165 |
|
* MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status |
166 |
|
widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a |
167 |
|
lame green solid background :). |
168 |
|
|
169 |
|
* Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to |
170 |
|
disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied. |
171 |
|
|
172 |
|
* Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric). |
173 |
|
|
174 |
|
|
175 |
|
0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle. |
176 |
|
|
177 |
|
* Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as |
178 |
|
brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom |
179 |
|
ever may follow ;) |
180 |
|
|
181 |
|
* Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons. |
182 |
|
|
183 |
|
* Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting |
184 |
|
(accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning |
185 |
|
settings will be saved in case the user modified them and |
186 |
|
automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to |
187 |
|
a sampler the next time. |
188 |
|
|
189 |
|
* Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. |
190 |
|
|
191 |
|
* Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. |
192 |
|
|
193 |
|
* Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding |
194 |
|
font size configuration, a new global user option is now available |
195 |
|
to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size |
196 |
|
(default none). |
197 |
|
|
198 |
|
* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of |
199 |
|
the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode. |
200 |
|
(transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). |
201 |
|
|
202 |
|
* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and |
203 |
|
running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup |
204 |
|
iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its |
205 |
|
main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). |
206 |
|
|
207 |
|
* Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, |
208 |
|
with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging. |
209 |
|
|
210 |
|
* Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were |
211 |
|
screwed. |
212 |
|
|
213 |
|
* Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed |
214 |
|
e.g. by other frontends. |
215 |
|
|
216 |
|
* Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed, |
217 |
|
e.g. on changes caused by other frontends |
218 |
|
(fixes segfault on device changes) |
219 |
|
|
220 |
|
* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the |
221 |
|
"View" main menu. |
222 |
|
|
223 |
|
* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. |
224 |
|
|
225 |
|
* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. |
226 |
|
|
227 |
|
* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel |
228 |
|
strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. |
229 |
|
|
230 |
|
* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user |
231 |
|
decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. |
232 |
|
|
233 |
|
|
234 |
|
0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. |
235 |
|
|
236 |
|
* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument |
237 |
|
names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then |
238 |
|
the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by |
239 |
|
default. |
240 |
|
|
241 |
|
* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually |
242 |
|
evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). |
243 |
|
|
244 |
|
* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though |
245 |
|
the main menu and toobar are not visible. |
246 |
|
|
247 |
|
* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when |
248 |
|
creating a new sampler channel. |
249 |
|
|
250 |
|
* README requirements and configuration notes update. |
251 |
|
|
252 |
|
* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument |
253 |
|
form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie |
254 |
|
users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the |
255 |
|
first time). |
256 |
|
|
257 |
|
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters |
258 |
|
which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). |
259 |
|
|
260 |
|
* Added Windows file path support. |
261 |
|
|
262 |
|
* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles |
263 |
|
under win32. |
264 |
|
|
265 |
|
* Qt4 port of the application. |
266 |
|
|
267 |
|
|
268 |
|
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
269 |
|
|
270 |
|
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
271 |
|
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
272 |
|
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
273 |
|
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
274 |
|
|
275 |
|
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
276 |
|
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
277 |
|
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
278 |
|
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
279 |
|
|
280 |
|
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
281 |
|
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
282 |
|
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
283 |
|
|
284 |
|
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
285 |
|
|
286 |
|
|
287 |
|
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
288 |
|
|
289 |
|
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
290 |
|
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
291 |
|
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
292 |
|
|
293 |
|
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
294 |
|
|
295 |
|
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
296 |
|
the session state, only at code-level. |
297 |
|
|
298 |
|
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
299 |
|
existing instrument file name. |
300 |
|
|
301 |
|
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
302 |
|
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
303 |
|
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
304 |
|
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
305 |
|
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
306 |
|
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
307 |
|
|
308 |
|
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
309 |
|
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
310 |
|
window managers. |
311 |
|
|
312 |
|
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
313 |
|
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
314 |
|
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
315 |
|
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
316 |
|
|
317 |
|
* GPL address update. |
318 |
|
|
319 |
|
|
320 |
|
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
321 |
|
|
322 |
|
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
323 |
|
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
324 |
|
|
325 |
|
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
326 |
|
|
327 |
|
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
328 |
|
installation paths have been added to configure command |
329 |
|
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
330 |
|
|
331 |
|
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
332 |
|
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
333 |
|
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
334 |
|
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
335 |
|
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
336 |
|
|
337 |
|
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
338 |
|
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
339 |
|
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
340 |
|
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
341 |
|
|
342 |
|
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
343 |
|
|
344 |
|
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
345 |
|
the sampler channel dialog, at last! |
346 |
|
|
347 |
|
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
348 |
|
title name prefix. |
349 |
|
|
350 |
|
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
351 |
|
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
352 |
|
generated at configure time. |
353 |
|
|
354 |
|
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
355 |
|
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
356 |
|
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
357 |
|
argument have some effect on X11. |
358 |
|
|
359 |
|
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
360 |
|
|
361 |
|
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
362 |
|
compiled with -no-stl. |
363 |
|
|
364 |
|
|
365 |
|
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
366 |
|
|
367 |
|
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
368 |
|
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
369 |
|
one, while on qjackctl). |
370 |
|
|
371 |
|
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
372 |
|
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |

392 |
|
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
393 |
|
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
