4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.1.2   2005-06-15 Work in progress...  0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
7    
8    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
9    
10    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
11    
12    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
13      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
14    
15    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
16    
17    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
18    
19    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
20    
21    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
22      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
23    
24    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
25    
26    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
27    
28    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
29    
30    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
31    
32    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
33      and make.
34    
35    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
36      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
37      Debian 6.
38    
39    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
40      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
41    
42    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
43      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
44      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
45      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
46    
47    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
48    
49    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
50      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
51      wrong main widget hidden state.
52    
53    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
54    
55    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
56      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
57      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
58      targets (--enable-debug).
59    
60    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
61    
62    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
63      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
64      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
65    
66    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
67      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
68    
69    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
70      a menu separator has been added.
71    
72    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
73      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
74    
75    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
76      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
77      lame green solid background :).
78    
79    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
80      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
81    
82    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
83    
84    
85    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
86    
87    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
88      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
89      ever may follow ;)
90    
91    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
92    
93    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
94      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
95      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
96      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
97      a sampler the next time.
98    
99    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
100    
101    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
102    
103    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
104      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
105      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
106      (default none).
107    
108    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
109      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
110      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
111    
112    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
113      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
114      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
115      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
116    
117    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
118      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
119    
120    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
121      screwed.
122    
123    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
124      e.g. by other frontends.
125    
126    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
127      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
128      (fixes segfault on device changes)
129    
130    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
131      "View" main menu.
132    
133    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
134    
135    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
136    
137    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
138      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
139    
140    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
141      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
142    
143    
144    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
145    
146    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
147      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
148      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
149      default.
150    
151    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
152      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
153    
154    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
155      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
156    
157    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
158      creating a new sampler channel.
159    
160    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
161    
162    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
163      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
164      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
165      first time).
166    
167    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
168      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
169    
170    * Added Windows file path support.
171    
172    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
173      under win32.
174    
175    * Qt4 port of the application.
176    
177    
178    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
179    
180    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
181      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
182      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
183      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
184    
185    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
186      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
187      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
188      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
189    
190    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
191      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
192      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
193    
194    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
195    
196    
197    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
198    
199    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
200      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
201      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
202    
203    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
204    
205    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
206      the session state, only at code-level.
207    
208    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
209      existing instrument file name.
210    
211    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
212      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
213      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
214      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
215      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
216      corrected some tooltip text strings.
217    
218    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
219      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
220      window managers.
221    
222    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
223      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
224      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
225      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
226    
227    * GPL address update.
228    
229    
230    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
231    
232    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
233      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
234    
235    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
236    
237    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
238      installation paths have been added to configure command
239      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
240    
241    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
242      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
243      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
244      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
245      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
246    
247    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
248      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
249      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
250      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
251    
252    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
253    
254    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
255      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
256    
257    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
258      title name prefix.
259    
260    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
261      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
262      generated at configure time.
263    
264    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
265      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
266      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
267      argument have some effect on X11.
268    
269    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
270    
271    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
272      compiled with -no-stl.
273    
274    
275    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
276    
277    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
278      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
279      one, while on qjackctl).
280    
281    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
282      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
283    
284    
285  0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.  0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
