4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.0.5   2005-03-01  Work in progress...  GIT HEAD
7    
8    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
9      main toolbar orientation.
10    
11    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
12      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available. (EXPERIMENTAL)
13    
14    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new includedir.
15    
16    * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
17      debian, thanks).
18    
19    * Translations install directory change. (EXPERIMENTAL)
20    
21    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
22      (EXPERIMENTAL)
23    
24    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
25      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
26      instruments of the same file.
27    
28    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new libdir
29      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
30    
31    
32    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
33    
34    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
35    
36    * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
37    
38    * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
39      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
40    
41    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
42    
43    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
44    
45    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
46    
47    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
48      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
49    
50    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
51    
52    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
53    
54    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
55    
56    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
57    
58    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
59      and make.
60    
61    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
62      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
63      Debian 6.
64    
65    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
66      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
67    
68    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
69      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
70      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
71      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
72    
73    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
74    
75    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
76      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
77      wrong main widget hidden state.
78    
79    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
80    
81    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
82      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
83      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
84      targets (--enable-debug).
85    
86    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
87    
88    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
89      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
90      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
91    
92    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
93      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
94    
95    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
96      a menu separator has been added.
97    
98    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
99      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
100    
101    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
102      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
103      lame green solid background :).
104    
105    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
106      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
107    
108    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
109    
110    
111    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
112    
113    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
114      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
115      ever may follow ;)
116    
117    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
118    
119    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
120      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
121      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
122      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
123      a sampler the next time.
124    
125    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
126    
127    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
128    
129    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
130      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
131      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
132      (default none).
133    
134    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
135      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
136      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
137    
138    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
139      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
140      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
141      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
142    
143    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
144      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
145    
146    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
147      screwed.
148    
149    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
150      e.g. by other frontends.
151    
152    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
153      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
154      (fixes segfault on device changes)
155    
156    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
157      "View" main menu.
158    
159    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
160    
161    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
162    
163    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
164      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
165    
166    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
167      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
168    
169    
170    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
171    
172    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
173      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
174      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
175      default.
176    
177    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
178      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
179    
180    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
181      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
182    
183    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
184      creating a new sampler channel.
185    
186    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
187    
188    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
189      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
190      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
191      first time).
192    
193    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
194      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
195    
196    * Added Windows file path support.
197    
198    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
199      under win32.
200    
201    * Qt4 port of the application.
202    
203    
204    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
205    
206    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
207      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
208      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
209      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
210    
211    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
212      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
213      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
214      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
215    
216    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
217      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
218      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
219    
220    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
221    
222    
223    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
224    
225    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
226      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
227      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
228    
229    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
230    
231    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
232      the session state, only at code-level.
233    
234    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
235      existing instrument file name.
236    
237    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
238      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
239      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
240      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
241      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
242      corrected some tooltip text strings.
243    
244    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
245      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
246      window managers.
247    
248    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
249      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
250      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
251      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
252    
253    * GPL address update.
254    
255    
256    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

258    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
259      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
260    
261    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
262    
263    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
264      installation paths have been added to configure command
265      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
266    
267    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
268      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
269      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
270      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
271      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
272    
273    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
274      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
275      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
276      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
277    
278    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
279    
280    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
281      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
282    
283    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
284      title name prefix.
285    
286    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
287      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
288      generated at configure time.
289    
290    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
291      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
292      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
293      argument have some effect on X11.
294    
295    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
296    
297    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
298      compiled with -no-stl.
299    
300    
301    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
302    
303    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
304      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
305      one, while on qjackctl).
306    
307    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
308      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
309    
310    
311    0.1.1   2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
312    
313    * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
314      to Christian Schoenebeck design.
315    
316    * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
317      in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
318      info updates.
319    
320    * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
321      buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
322      device dialog.
323    
324    * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
325    
326    * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
327      Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
328      with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
329      Mayat, for pointing these out).
330    
331    
332    0.1.0   2005-05-23  Device configuration breakthrough.
333    
334    * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
335    
336    * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
