ChangeLog |

|
6 |
CVS HEAD |
7 |
|
8 |
* Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting |
9 |
(accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning |
10 |
settings will be saved in case the user modified them and |
11 |
automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to |
12 |
a sampler the next time. |
13 |
|
14 |
* Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes. |
15 |
|
16 |
* Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions. |
17 |
|
18 |
* Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font |
19 |
size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the |
20 |
rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none). |
21 |
|
22 |
* Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of |
23 |
the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode. |
24 |
(transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks). |
25 |
|
26 |
* Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running, |
27 |
with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already |
28 |
running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown |
29 |
up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only). |
30 |
|
31 |
* Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance, |
32 |
with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging. |
33 |
|
34 |
* Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were |
35 |
screwed. |
36 |
|
37 |
* Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by |
38 |
other frontends. |
39 |
|
40 |
* Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed, |
41 |
e.g. on changes caused by other frontends |
42 |
(fixes segfault on device changes) |
43 |
|
44 |
* Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View" |
45 |
main menu. |
46 |
|
47 |
* Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips. |
48 |
|
49 |
* Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips. |
50 |
|
51 |
* Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip, |
52 |
particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds. |
53 |
|
54 |
* Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide |
55 |
whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not. |
56 |
|
57 |
|
58 |
0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete. |
59 |
|
60 |
* Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a |
61 |
very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective |
62 |
name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default. |
63 |
|
64 |
* The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually |
65 |
evident while in the application workspace (highlighting). |
66 |
|
67 |
* Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though |
68 |
the main menu and toobar are not visible. |
69 |
|
70 |
* Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when |
71 |
creating a new sampler channel. |
72 |
|
73 |
* README requirements and configuration notes update. |
74 |
|
75 |
* Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument |
76 |
form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie |
77 |
users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the |
78 |
first time). |
79 |
|
80 |
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters |
81 |
which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog). |
82 |
|
83 |
* Added Windows file path support. |
84 |
|
85 |
* Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles |
86 |
under win32. |
87 |
|
88 |
* Qt4 port of the application. |
89 |
|
90 |
|
91 |
0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard. |
92 |
|
93 |
* Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and |
94 |
mapping instrument files with special characters in their |
95 |
filename, as well as special characters for instrument names |
96 |
and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side). |
97 |
|
98 |
* Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably |
99 |
does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate |
100 |
instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor |
101 |
tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar. |
102 |
|
103 |
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps; |
104 |
application desktop entry file is now included in installation; |
105 |
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant. |
106 |
|
107 |
* Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list. |
108 |
|
109 |
|
110 |
0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by. |
111 |
|
112 |
* Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and |
113 |
cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color |
114 |
highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles. |
115 |
|
116 |
* Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured. |
117 |
|
118 |
* Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving |
119 |
the session state, only at code-level. |
120 |
|
121 |
* Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor |
122 |
existing instrument file name. |
123 |
|
124 |
* Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save; |
125 |
hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save; |
126 |
keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context; |
127 |
improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load; |
128 |
instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional); |
129 |
corrected some tooltip text strings. |
130 |
|
131 |
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, |
132 |
which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some |
133 |
window managers. |
134 |
|
135 |
* Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now |
136 |
with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities; |
137 |
MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in |
138 |
the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127. |
139 |
|
140 |
* GPL address update. |
141 |
|
142 |
|
143 |
0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it? |
144 |
|
145 |
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, |
146 |
on qsampler.spec (RPM). |
147 |
|
148 |
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED). |
149 |
|
150 |
* Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig |
151 |
installation paths have been added to configure command |
152 |
arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig). |
153 |
|
154 |
* Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an |
155 |
option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole |
156 |
number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously |
157 |
increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 |
158 |
(one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog. |
159 |
|
160 |
* The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio |
161 |
and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, |
162 |
are now expected to be a little better looking than it was |
163 |
before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes. |
164 |
|
165 |
* Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height. |
166 |
|
167 |
* Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits |
168 |
the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL). |
169 |
|
170 |
* All widget captions changed to include proper application |
171 |
title name prefix. |
172 |
|
173 |
* Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; |
174 |
sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and |
175 |
generated at configure time. |
176 |
|
177 |
* Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of |
178 |
registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal |
179 |
to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line |
180 |
argument have some effect on X11. |
181 |
|
182 |
* Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips. |
183 |
|
184 |
* Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was |
185 |
compiled with -no-stl. |
186 |
|
187 |
|
188 |
0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest. |
189 |
|
190 |
* Fixed output disability when messages limit option is |
191 |
turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this |
192 |
one, while on qjackctl). |
193 |
|
194 |
* Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; |
195 |
minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization. |
196 |
|
197 |
|
198 |
0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes. |
199 |
|
200 |
* New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks |
201 |
to Christian Schoenebeck design. |
202 |
|
203 |
* Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found |
204 |
in an error state, which was preventing correct channel |
205 |
info updates. |
206 |
|
207 |
* Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added |
208 |
buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the |
209 |
device dialog. |
210 |
|
211 |
* Include libgig version info on command line request (-v). |
212 |
|
213 |
* Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and |
214 |
Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing |
215 |
with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim |
216 |
Mayat, for pointing these out). |
217 |
|
218 |
|
219 |
0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough. |
220 |
|
221 |
* Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL). |
222 |
|
223 |
* [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention |
224 |
consistency, regarding the enumeration of available |
225 |
sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers. |
226 |
|
227 |
* [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new |
228 |
instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog. |
229 |
|
230 |
* Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading |
231 |
an instrument. |
232 |
|
233 |
* Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used). |
234 |
|
235 |
|
236 |
0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release. |
237 |
|
238 |
* Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, |
239 |
which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session |
240 |
configurations to the default audio driver type (which |
241 |
is ALSA) unexpectedly. |
242 |
|
243 |
* Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a |
244 |
session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always |
245 |
loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels). |
246 |
|
247 |
* Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on |
248 |
session file save, as its use is still troublesome. |
249 |
|
250 |
* Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels. |
251 |
|
252 |
* Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for |
253 |
only those settings that are actually changed gets applied; |
254 |
change information are now also posted to messages window. |
255 |
|
256 |
* Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or |
257 |
instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files |
258 |
drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument |
259 |
files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel. |
260 |
|
261 |
* Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also |
262 |
featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel |
263 |
sampler instrument file. |
264 |
|
265 |
* Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved |
266 |
from the instrument file, even though libgig is available, |
267 |
avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the |
268 |
channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected. |
269 |
|
270 |
* Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where |
271 |
available, as the default handler is usually fatal when |
272 |
a JACK client is zombified abruptly. |
273 |
|
274 |
* Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line |
275 |
count exceeds in one third the user configured line count |
276 |
maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is |
277 |
otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format. |
278 |
|
279 |
|
280 |
0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release. |
281 |
|
282 |
* Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; |
283 |
actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from |
284 |
the instrument file, provided if libgig is available. |
285 |
|
286 |
* Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if, |
287 |
the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted, |
288 |
following common user-interface guidelines. |
289 |
|
290 |
* Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal |
291 |
control structures. |
292 |
|
293 |
* Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar. |
294 |
|
295 |
* MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing |
296 |
the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler |
297 |
channel (omni mode). |
298 |
|
299 |
* Channel strip display glass effect has changed background |
300 |
color to black (was green), being now an user option. |
301 |
|
302 |
* Minor configure fixes. |
303 |
|
304 |
|
305 |
0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release. |
306 |
|
307 |
* Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support. |
308 |
|
309 |
* Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog, |
310 |
and on session file save. |
311 |
|
312 |
* Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults |
313 |
on create time. |
314 |
|
315 |
* Implied channel reset on successful instrument load. |
316 |
|
317 |
|
318 |
0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release. |
319 |
|
320 |
* The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking |
321 |
over the empty workspace area. |
322 |
|
323 |
* Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(), |
324 |
so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and |
325 |
avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the |
326 |
correct salvage of settings and configuration. |
327 |
|
328 |
* Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option, |
329 |
provided to override the default (which is 100%). |
330 |
|
331 |
* Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been |
332 |
increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds. |
333 |
|
334 |
* A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over |
335 |
each sampler channel strip. |
336 |
|
337 |
* Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from |
338 |
qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect. |
339 |
|
340 |
* Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between |
341 |
a #if !defined(WIN32) clause. |
342 |
|
343 |
* An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every |
344 |
new sampler channel strip. |
345 |
|
346 |
* The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as |
347 |
suggested in the following lines: |
348 |
|
349 |
SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ... |
350 |
SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ... |
351 |
SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ... |
352 |
LOAD ENGINE ... |
353 |
LOAD INSTRUMENT ... |
354 |
SET CHANNEL VOLUME ... |
355 |
|
356 |
|
357 |
0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release. |
358 |
|
