6    
7  * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks  GIT HEAD
8    
9    * Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.
10      (EXPERIMENTAL)
11    
12    
13    0.3.1  2015-07-19  Summer'15 release frenzy.
14    
15    * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
16      64bit Linux flavours.
17    
18    * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
19    
20    * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
21      sub-routine is now in effect. (EXPERIMENTAL)
22    
23    * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
24    
25    
26    0.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
27    
28    * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
29    
30    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
31      of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
32    
33    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
34    
35    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
36      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
37    
38    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
39      main toolbar orientation.
40    
41    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
42      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.

49    * Translations install directory change.
50    
51    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
52    
53    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when

55      instruments of the same file.
56    
57    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
58      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
59    
60    
61    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
62    
63    * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.

73    
74    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
75    
76    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the

86    
87    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
88      and make.
89    
90    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
91      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
92      Debian 6.
93    
94    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
95      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
96    
97    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
98      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
99      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
100      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
101    
102    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
103    
104    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
105      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
106      wrong main widget hidden state.
107    
108    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
109    
110    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
111      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
112      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
113      targets (--enable-debug).
114    
115    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
116    
117    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
118      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
119      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
120    
121    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
122      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
123    
124    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
125      a menu separator has been added.
126    
127    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
128      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
129    
130    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
131      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
132      lame green solid background :).
133    
134    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
135      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
136    
137    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
138    
139    
140    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
141    
142    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
143      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
144      ever may follow ;)
145    
146    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
147    
148    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
149      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
150      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
151      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
152      a sampler the next time.
153    
154    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
155    
156    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
157    
158    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
159      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
160      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
161      (default none).
162    
163    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
164      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
165      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
166    
167    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
168      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
169      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
170      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
171    
172    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
173      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
174    
175    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
176      screwed.
177    
178    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
179      e.g. by other frontends.
180    
181    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
182      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
183      (fixes segfault on device changes)
184    
185    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
186      "View" main menu.
187    
188    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
189    
190    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
191    
192    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
193      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
194    
195    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
196      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
197    
198    
199    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
200    
201    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
202      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
203      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
204      default.
205    
206    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
207      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
208    
209    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
210      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
211    
212    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
213      creating a new sampler channel.
214    
215    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
216    
217    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
218      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
219      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
220      first time).
221    
222    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
223      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
224    
225    * Added Windows file path support.
226    
227    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
228      under win32.
229    
230    * Qt4 port of the application.
231    
232    
233    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
234    
235    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
236      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
237      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
238      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
239    
240    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
241      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
242      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
243      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
244    
245    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
246      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
247      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
248    
249    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
250    
251    
252    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
253    
254    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
255      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
256      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
257    
258    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
259    
260    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
261      the session state, only at code-level.
262    
263    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
264      existing instrument file name.
265    
266    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
267      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
268      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
269      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
270      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
271      corrected some tooltip text strings.
272    
273    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
274      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
275      window managers.
276    
277    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
278      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
279      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
280      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
281    
282    * GPL address update.
283    
284    
285    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?

287    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
288      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
289    
290    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
291    
292    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
293      installation paths have been added to configure command
294      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
295    
296    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
297      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
298      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
299      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
300      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
301    
302    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
303      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
304      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
305      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
306    
307    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
308    
309    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
310      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
311    
312    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
313      title name prefix.
314    
315    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
316      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
317      generated at configure time.
318    
319    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
320      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
321      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
322      argument have some effect on X11.
323    
324    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
325    
326    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
327      compiled with -no-stl.
328    
329    
330    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
331    
332    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
333      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
334      one, while on qjackctl).
335    
336    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
337      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
