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