4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.1.1   2005-06-02 The mantra of bugfixes.  SVN TRUNK
7    
8  * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks  * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to
9      the configure script eg. --bindir, --datadir, --localedir.
10    
11    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
12    
13    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
14    
15    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
16    
17    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
18    
19    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
20      and make.
21    
22    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
23      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
24      Debian 6.
25    
26    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
27      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
28    
29    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
30      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
31      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
32      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
33    
34    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
35    
36    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
37      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
38      wrong main widget hidden state.
39    
40    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
41    
42    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
43      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
44      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
45      targets (--enable-debug).
46    
47    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
48    
49    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
50      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
51      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
52    
53    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
54      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
55    
56    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
57      a menu separator has been added.
58    
59    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
60      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
61    
62    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
63      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
64      lame green solid background :).
65    
66    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
67      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
68    
69    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
70    
71    
72    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
73    
74    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
75      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
76      ever may follow ;)
77    
78    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
79    
80    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
81      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
82      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
83      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
84      a sampler the next time.
85    
86    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
87    
88    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
89    
90    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
91      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
92      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
93      (default none).
94    
95    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
96      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
97      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
98    
99    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
100      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
101      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
102      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
103    
104    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
105      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
106    
107    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
108      screwed.
109    
110    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
111      e.g. by other frontends.
112    
113    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
114      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
115      (fixes segfault on device changes)
116    
117    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
118      "View" main menu.
119    
120    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
121    
122    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
123    
124    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
125      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
126    
127    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
128      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
129    
130    
131    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
132    
133    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
134      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
135      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
136      default.
137    
138    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
139      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
140    
141    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
142      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
143    
144    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
145      creating a new sampler channel.
146    
147    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
148    
149    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
150      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
151      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
152      first time).
153    
154    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
155      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
156    
157    * Added Windows file path support.
158    
159    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
160      under win32.
161    
162    * Qt4 port of the application.
163    
164    
165    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
166    
167    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
168      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
169      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
170      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
171    
172    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
173      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
174      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
175      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
176    
177    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
178      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
179      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
180    
181    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
182    
183    
184    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
185    
186    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
187      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
188      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
189    
190    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
191    
192    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
193      the session state, only at code-level.
194    
195    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
196      existing instrument file name.
197    
198    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
199      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
200      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
201      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
202      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
203      corrected some tooltip text strings.
204    
205    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
206      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
207      window managers.
208    
209    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
210      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
211      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
212      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
213    
214    * GPL address update.
215    
216    
217    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

220      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
221    
222    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
223    
224    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
225      installation paths have been added to configure command
226      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
227    
228    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
229      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
230      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
231      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
232      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
233    
234    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
235      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
236      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
237      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
238    
239    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
240    
241    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
242      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
243    
244    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
245      title name prefix.
246    
247    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
248      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
249      generated at configure time.
250    
251    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
252      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
253      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
254      argument have some effect on X11.
255    
256    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
257    
258    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
259      compiled with -no-stl.

263    
264    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
265      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
266      one, while on qjackctl).
267    
268    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
269      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
