4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
 0.1.1   2005-06-02 The mantra of bugfixes.  
6    
7  * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks  0.4.1  2016-09-14  End of Summer'16 release.
8    to Christian Schoenebeck design.  
9    * Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended
10      in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
11        
12    * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
13      given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
14      Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
15    
16    * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
17      auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
18    
19    
20    0.4.0  2016-04-05  Spring'16 release frenzy.

23    
24    * Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
25    
26    * Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now
27      in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.
28    
29    * Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.
30    
31    
32    0.3.1  2015-07-19  Summer'15 release frenzy.
33    
34    * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
35      64bit Linux flavours.
36    
37    * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
38    
39    * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
40      sub-routine is now in effect. (EXPERIMENTAL)
41    
42    * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
43    
44    
45    0.3.0  2015-03-25  Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
46    
47    * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
48    
49    * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
50      of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
51    
52    * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
53    
54    * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
55      stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
56    
57    * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
58      main toolbar orientation.
59    
60    * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
61      as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
62    
63    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
64

68    * Translations install directory change.
69    
70    * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
71    
72    * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
73      the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
74      instruments of the same file.
75    
76    * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
77      (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
78    
79    
80    0.2.3  2013-12-31  A fifth of a Jubilee.
81

92    
93    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
94    
95    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the

103    
104    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
105    
106    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
107      and make.
108    
109    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
110      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
111      Debian 6.
112    
113    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
114      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
115    
116    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
117      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
118      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
119      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
120    
121    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
122    
123    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
124      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
125      wrong main widget hidden state.
126    
127    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
128    
129    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
130      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
131      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
132      targets (--enable-debug).
133    
134    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
135    
136    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
137      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
138      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
139    
140    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
141      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
142    
143    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
144      a menu separator has been added.
145    
146    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
147      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
148    
149    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
150      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
151      lame green solid background :).
152    
153    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
154      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
155    
156    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
157    
158    
159    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
160    
161    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
162      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
163      ever may follow ;)
164    
165    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
166    
167    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
168      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
169      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
170      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
171      a sampler the next time.
172    
173    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
174    
175    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
176    
177    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
178      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
179      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
180      (default none).
181    
182    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
183      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
184      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
185    
186    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
187      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
188      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
189      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
190    
191    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
192      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
193    
194    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
195      screwed.
196    
197    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
198      e.g. by other frontends.
199    
200    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
201      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
202      (fixes segfault on device changes)
203    
204    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
205      "View" main menu.
206    
207    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
208    
209    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
210    
211    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
212      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
213    
214    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
215      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
216    
217    
218    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
219    
220    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
221      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
222      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
223      default.
224    
225    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
226      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
227    
228    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
229      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
230    
231    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
232      creating a new sampler channel.
233    
234    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
235    
236    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
237      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
238      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
239      first time).
240    
241    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
242      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
243    
244    * Added Windows file path support.
245    
246    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
247      under win32.
248    
249    * Qt4 port of the application.
250    
251    
252    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
253    
254    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
255      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
256      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
257      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
258    
259    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
260      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
261      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
262      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
263    
264    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
265      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
266      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
267    
268    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
269    
270    
271    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
272    
273    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
274      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
275      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
276    
277    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
278    
279    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
280      the session state, only at code-level.
281    
282    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
283      existing instrument file name.
284    
285    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
286      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
287      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
288      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
289      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
290      corrected some tooltip text strings.
291    
292    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
293      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
294      window managers.
295    
296    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
297      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
298      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
299      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
300    
301    * GPL address update.
302    
303    
304    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
305    
306    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
307      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
308    
309    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
310    
311    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
312      installation paths have been added to configure command
313      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
314    
315    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
316      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
317      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
318      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
319      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
320    
321    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
322      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
323      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
324      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
325    
326    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
327    
328    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
329      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
330    
331    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
332      title name prefix.
333    
334    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
335      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
336      generated at configure time.
337    
338    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
339      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
340      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
341      argument have some effect on X11.
342    
343    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
344    
345    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
346      compiled with -no-stl.
347    
348    
349    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
350    
351    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
352      turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
353      one, while on qjackctl).
354    
355    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
356      minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
