5    
6  0.0.5   2005-01-18  Work in progress...  SVN TRUNK
7    
8    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
9    
10    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
11      (EXPERIMENTAL)
12    
13    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
14      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
15      instruments of the same file.
16    
17    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
18      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
19    
20    
21    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
22    
23    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
24    
25    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
26    
27    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
28      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
29    
30    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
31    
32    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
33    
34    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
35    
36    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
37      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
38    
39    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
40    
41    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
42    
43    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
44    
45    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
46    
47    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
48      and make.
49    
50    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
51      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
52      Debian 6.
53    
54    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
55      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
56    
57    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
58      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
59      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
60      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
61    
62    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
63    
64    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
65      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
66      wrong main widget hidden state.
67    
68    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
69    
70    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
71      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
72      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
73      targets (--enable-debug).
74    
75    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
76    
77    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
78      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
79      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
80    
81    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
82      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
83    
84    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
85      a menu separator has been added.
86    
87    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
88      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
89    
90    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
91      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
92      lame green solid background :).
93    
94    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
95      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
96    
97    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
98    
99    
100    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
101    
102    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
103      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
104      ever may follow ;)
105    
106    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
107    
108    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
109      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
110      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
111      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
112      a sampler the next time.
113    
114    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
115    
116    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
117    
118    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
119      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
120      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
121      (default none).
122    
123    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
124      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
125      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
126    
127    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
128      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
129      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
130      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
131    
132    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
133      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
134    
135    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
136      screwed.
137    
138    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
139      e.g. by other frontends.
140    
141    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
142      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
143      (fixes segfault on device changes)
144    
145    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
146      "View" main menu.
147    
148    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
149    
150    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
151    
152    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
153      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
154    
155    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
156      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
157    
158    
159    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
160    
161    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
162      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
163      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
164      default.
165    
166    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
167      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
168    
169    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
170      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
171    
172    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
173      creating a new sampler channel.
174    
175    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
176    
177    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
178      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
179      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
180      first time).
181    
182    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
183      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
184    
185    * Added Windows file path support.
186    
187    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
188      under win32.
189    
190    * Qt4 port of the application.
191    
192    
193    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
194    
195    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
196      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
197      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
198      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
199    
200    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
201      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
202      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
203      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
204    
205    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
206      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
207      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
208    
209    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
210    
211    
212    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
213    
214    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
215      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
216      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
217    
218    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
219    
220    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
221      the session state, only at code-level.
222    
223    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
224      existing instrument file name.
225    
226    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
227      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
228      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
229      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
230      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
231      corrected some tooltip text strings.
232    
233    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
234      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
235      window managers.
236    
237    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
238      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
239      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
240      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
241    
242    * GPL address update.
243    
244    
245    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
246    
247    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
248      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
249    
250    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
251    
252    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
253      installation paths have been added to configure command
254      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
255    
256    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
257      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
258      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
259      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
260      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
261    
262    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
263      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
264      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
265      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
266    
267    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
268    
269    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
270      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
271    
272    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
273      title name prefix.
274    
275    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
276      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
277      generated at configure time.
278    
279    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
280      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
281      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
282      argument have some effect on X11.
283    
284    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
285    
286    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
287      compiled with -no-stl.
288    
289    
290    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
291    
292    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
293      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
294      one, while on qjackctl).
295    
296    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
297      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
298    
299    
300    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
301    
302    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
303      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
304    
305    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
306      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
307      info updates.
308    
309    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
310      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
311      device dialog.
312    
313    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
314    
315    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
316      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
317      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
318      Mayat, for pointing these out).
319    
320    
321    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
322    
323    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
324    
325    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
326      consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
327      sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
328    
329    * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
330      instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
331    
332    * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
333      an instrument.
334    
335    * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
336    
337    
338    0.0.5   2005-03-04  Fifth alpha-release.
339    
340    * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
341      which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
342      configurations to the default audio driver type (which
343      is ALSA) unexpectedly.
344    
345    * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
346      session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
347      loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
348    
349    * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
350      session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
351    
352    * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
353    
354    * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
355      only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
356      change information are now also posted to messages window.
357    
358    * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
359      instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
360      drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
361      files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
362    
363    * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
364      featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
365      sampler instrument file.
366    
367  * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved  * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
368    from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,    from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
