6  CVS HEAD  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
9      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
10    
11    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
12      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
13      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
14      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
15    
16    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
17    
18    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
19      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
20      wrong main widget hidden state.
21    
22    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
23    
24    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
25      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
26      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
27      targets (--enable-debug).
28    
29    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
30    
31    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
32      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
33      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
34    
35    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
36      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
37    
38    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
39      a menu separator has been added.
40    
41    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
42      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
43    
44    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
45      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
46      lame green solid background :).
47    
48    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
49      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
50    
51    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
52    
53    
54    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
55    
56    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
57      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
58      ever may follow ;)
59    
60    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
61    
62    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
63      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
64      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
65      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
66      a sampler the next time.
67    
68    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
69    
70    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
71    
72    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
73      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
74      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
75      (default none).
76    
77    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
78      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
79      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
80    
81    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
82      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
83      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
84      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
85    
86    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
87      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
88    
89    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
90      screwed.
91    
92    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
93      e.g. by other frontends.
94    
95    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
96      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
97      (fixes segfault on device changes)
98    
99    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
100      "View" main menu.
101    
102    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
103    
104    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
105    
106    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
107      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
108    
109    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
110      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
111    
112    
113    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
114    
115    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
116      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
117      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
118      default.
119    
120    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
121      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
122    
123    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
124      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
125    
126    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
127      creating a new sampler channel.
128    
129    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
130    
131    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
132      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
133      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
134      first time).
135    
136    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
137      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
138    
139    * Added Windows file path support.
140    
141    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
142      under win32.
143    
144    * Qt4 port of the application.
145    
146    
147    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
148    
149    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
150      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
151      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
152      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
153    
154    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
155      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
156      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
157      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
158    
159    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
160      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
161      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
162    
163    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.

165    
166    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
167    
168    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
169      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
170      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
171    
172    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
173    
174    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
175      the session state, only at code-level.
176    
177    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
178      existing instrument file name.

182      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
183      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
184      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
185      corrected some tooltip text strings.
