190      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).

226    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
227      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
228    
229    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
230      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has

233    
234    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
235    
236    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
237      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to

245      targets (--enable-debug).
246    
247    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
248    
249    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
250      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
251      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
252

254      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
255

257      a menu separator has been added.
258    
259    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices

263      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a

278    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
279    
280    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
281      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning

283      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
284      a sampler the next time.
285    
286    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
287    
288    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
289

293      (default none).
294    
295    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
296      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.

298    
299    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
300      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
301      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
302      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
