4  ChangeLog  ChangeLog
5    
6  0.1.2   2005-06-18 Work in progress...  SVN TRUNK
7    
8  * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is  * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
9      session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
10    
11    * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
12    
13    * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
14    
15    * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
16    
17    * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
18      configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
19    
20    * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
21    
22    * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
23    
24    * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
25    
26    * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
27    
28    * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
29      and make.
30    
31    * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
32      as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
33      Debian 6.
34    
35    * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
36      into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
37    
38    * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
39      other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
40      been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
41      instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
42    
43    * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
44    
45    * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
46      been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
47      wrong main widget hidden state.
48    
49    * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
50    
51    * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
52      traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
53      option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
54      targets (--enable-debug).
55    
56    * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
57    
58    * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
59      now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
60      (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
61    
62    * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
63      just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
64    
65    * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
66      a menu separator has been added.
67    
68    * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
69      and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
70    
71    * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
72      widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
73      lame green solid background :).
74    
75    * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
76      disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
77    
78    * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
79    
80    
81    0.2.2  2009-08-01  New release cycle.
82    
83    * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
84      brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
85      ever may follow ;)
86    
87    * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
88    
89    * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
90      (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
91      settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
92      automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
93      a sampler the next time.
94    
95    * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
96    
97    * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
98    
99    * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
100      font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
101      to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
102      (default none).
103    
104    * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
105      the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
106      (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
107    
108    * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
109      running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
110      iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
111      main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
112    
113    * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
114      with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
115    
116    * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
117      screwed.
118    
119    * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
120      e.g. by other frontends.
121    
122    * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
123      e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
124      (fixes segfault on device changes)
125    
126    * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
127      "View" main menu.
128    
129    * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
130    
131    * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
132    
133    * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
134      strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
135    
136    * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
137      decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
138    
139    
140    0.2.1  2007-12-06  Qt4 migration was complete.
141    
142    * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
143      names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
144      the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
145      default.
146    
147    * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
148      evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
149    
150    * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
151      the main menu and toobar are not visible.
152    
153    * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
154      creating a new sampler channel.
155    
156    * README requirements and configuration notes update.
157    
158    * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
159      form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
160      users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
161      first time).
162    
163    * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
164      which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
165    
166    * Added Windows file path support.
167    
168    * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
169      under win32.
170    
171    * Qt4 port of the application.
172    
173    
174    0.1.5  2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
175    
176    * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
177      mapping instrument files with special characters in their
178      filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
179      and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
180    
181    * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
182      does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
183      instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
184      tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
185    
186    * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
187      application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
188      spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
189    
190    * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
191    
192    
193    0.1.4  2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
194    
195    * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
196      cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
197      highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
198    
199    * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
200    
201    * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
202      the session state, only at code-level.
203    
204    * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
205      existing instrument file name.
206    
207    * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
208      hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
209      keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
210      improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
211      instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
212      corrected some tooltip text strings.
213    
214    * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
215      which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
216      window managers.
217    
218    * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
219      with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
220      MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
221      the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
222    
223    * GPL address update.
224    
225    
226    0.1.3   2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
227    
228    * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
229      on qsampler.spec (RPM).
230    
231    * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
232    
233    * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
234      installation paths have been added to configure command
235      arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
236    
237    * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
238      option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
239      number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
240      increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
241      (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
242    
243    * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
244      and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
245      are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
246      before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
247    
248    * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
249    
250    * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
251      the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
252    
253    * All widget captions changed to include proper application
254      title name prefix.
255    
256    * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
257      sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
258      generated at configure time.
259    
260    * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
261      registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
262      to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
263      argument have some effect on X11.
264    
265    * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
266    
267    * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
268      compiled with -no-stl.
269    
270    
271    0.1.2   2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
272    
273    * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
274    turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this    turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
275    one, while on qjackctl).    one, while on qjackctl).
276    
277    * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
