111      instruments of the same file.
112    
113    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
114      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).

116    
117    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.

142    
143    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
144      and make.
145    
146    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
147      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
148      Debian 6.
149    
150    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
151      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
152    
153    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
154      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
155      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
156      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
157    
158    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
159    
160    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
161      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
162      wrong main widget hidden state.
163    
164    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
165    
166    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
167      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
168      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
169      targets (--enable-debug).
170    
171    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
172    
173    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
174      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
175      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
176    
177    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
178      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
179    
180    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
181      a menu separator has been added.
182    
183    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
184      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
185    
186    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
187      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
188      lame green solid background :).
189    
190    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
191      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
192    
193    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
194    
195    
196    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
197    
198    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
199      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
200      ever may follow ;)
201    
202    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
203    
204    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
205      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
206      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
207      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
208      a sampler the next time.
209    
210    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
211    
212    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
213    
214    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
215      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
216      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
217      (default none).
218    
219    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
220      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
221      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
222    
223    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
224      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
225      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
226      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
227    
228    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
229      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
230    
231    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
232      screwed.
233    
234    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
235      e.g. by other frontends.
236    
237    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
238      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
239      (fixes segfault on device changes)
240    
241    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
242      "View" main menu.
243    
244    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
245    
246    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
247    
248    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
249      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
250    
251    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
252      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
253    
254    
255    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
256    
257    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
258      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
259      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
260      default.
261    
262    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
263      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
264    
265    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
266      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
267    
268    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
269      creating a new sampler channel.
270    
271    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
272    
273    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
274      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
275      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
276      first time).
277    
278    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
279      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
280    
281    * Added Windows file path support.
282    
283    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
284      under win32.
285    
286    * Qt4 port of the application.
287    
288    
289    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
290    
291    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
292      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
293      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
294      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
295    
296    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
297      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
298      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
299      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
300    
301    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
302      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
303      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
304    
305    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
306    
307    
308    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
309    
310    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
311      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
312      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
313    
314    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
315    
316    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
317      the session state, only at code-level.
318    
319    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
320      existing instrument file name.
321    
322    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
323      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
324      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
325      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
326      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
327      corrected some tooltip text strings.
328    
329    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
330      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
331      window managers.
332    
333    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
334      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
335      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
336      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
337    
338    * GPL address update.
339
