4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.1.0   2005-03-31  Device configuration work in progress...  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).  * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
222    
223    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
