  Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
- ------------------------------------------
+ ~------------------------------------------
  ChangeLog
- CVS HEAD
+ GIT HEAD
+ - When using autotools and ./configure --with-qt=...,
+   it is also necessary to adjust the PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+   environment variable (after a merge request by plcl
+   aka. Pedro López-Cabanillas, while on qmidinet,
+   thanks). (EXPERIMENTAL)
+.6.0  2019-10-17  An Autumn'19 Release.
+ - Added alternate yet non-official CMake build option.
+ - Fix HiDPI display screen effective support (Qt >= 5.6).
+ - Make sure compiler flags comply to c++11 as standard.
+.5.6  2019-07-12  A Summer'19 Release.
+ - Updated for the newer Qt5 translation tools (>= 5.13).
+ - Configure updated to check for qtchooser availability.
+ - Minor update to Debian packaging control file.
+.5.5  2019-04-11  A Spring-Break'19 Release.
+ - Re-defined all main application UNIX signal handling.
+.5.4  2019-03-11  Pre-LAC2019 Release Frenzy.
+ - Refactored all singleton/unique application instance
+   setup logic away from X11/Xcb hackery.
+ - HiDPI display screen support (Qt >= 5.6).
+ - Bumped copyright headers into the New Year (2019).
+.5.3  2018-12-06  An End of Autumn'18 Release.
+ - Avoid saving plug-in sampler channels and related devices
+   to regular LSCP (*.lscp) session files.
+ - Fixed MIDI and Audio device selection on the common sampler
+   channel settings dialog.
+ - Old deprecated Qt4 build support is no more.
+ - AppStream metadata updated to be the most compliant with
+   latest freedesktop.org specification and recommendation.
+.5.2  2018-07-22  A Summer'18 Release.
+ - AppData/AppStream metadata is now settled under an all
+   permisssive license (FSFAP).
+.5.1  2018-05-21  Pre-LAC2018 release frenzy.
+ - Disable singleton/unique application instance setup logic
+   when the display server platform is not X11.
+ - Fixed device management dialog not responding to user changes.
+ - A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side.
+ - Fixed minor memory leak in device management dialog.
+ - Fixed unnecessary latency when closing app.
+.5.0  2017-12-12  An Autumn'17 release.
+ - French (fr) translation added by Olivier Humbert
+   (qsampler_fr.ts).
+ - Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent
+   from build/configure template chains.
+ - Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo
+   file (formerly AppData).
+.4.3  2017-04-27  Pre-LAC2017 release frenzy.
+ - Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
+ - Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of
+   the configure build date and time stamps.
+.4.2  2016-11-14  A Fall'16 release.
+ * Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application
+   instance setup.
+ * Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
+   line options, wrt. installation directories specification,
+   eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.
+.4.1  2016-09-14  End of Summer'16 release.
+ * Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended
+   in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
+ * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
+   given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
+   Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
+ * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
+   auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
+.4.0  2016-04-05  Spring'16 release frenzy.
+ * Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
+ * Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
+ * Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now
+   in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.
+ * Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.
+.3.1  2015-07-19  Summer'15 release frenzy.
+ * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
+bit Linux flavours.
+ * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
+ * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
+   sub-routine is now in effect.
+ * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
+.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
+ * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
+ * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
+   of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
+ * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
+ * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
+   stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
+ * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
+   main toolbar orientation.
+ * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
+   as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
+ * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
+ * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
+   debian, thanks).
+ * Translations install directory change.
+ * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
+ * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
+   the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
+   instruments of the same file.
+ * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
+   (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
+.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
+ * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
+ * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
+ * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
+   session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
+ * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
+ * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
+ * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
+ * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
+   configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
+ * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
+ * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
+ * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
+ * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
+ * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
+   and make.
+ * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
+   as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
+   Debian 6.
+ * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
+   into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
+ * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
+   other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
+   been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
+   instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
+ * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
+ * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
+   been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
+   wrong main widget hidden state.
+ * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
+ * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
+   traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
+   option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
+   targets (--enable-debug).
+ * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
+ * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
+   now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
+   (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
+ * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
+   just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
+ * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
+   a menu separator has been added.
+ * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
+   and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
+ * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
+   widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
+   lame green solid background :).
+ * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
+   disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
+ * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
+.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
+ * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
+   brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
+   ever may follow ;)
+ * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
  * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
    (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
