8 * Started Qt4 port of the application
9 (not completed and broken yet!).
10
11
12 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
13
14 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
15 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
16 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
17 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
18
19 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
20 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
21 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
22 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
23
24 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
25 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
26 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
27
28 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
29
30
31 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
32
33 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
34 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
35 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
36
37 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
38
39 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
40 the session state, only at code-level.
41
42 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
43 existing instrument file name.
44
45 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
46 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
47 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
48 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
49 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
50 corrected some tooltip text strings.
51
52 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
53 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
54 window managers.
55
56 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
57 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
58 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
59 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
60
61 * GPL address update.
62
63
64 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
65
66 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
67 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
68
69 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
70
71 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
72 installation paths have been added to configure command
73 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
74
75 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
76 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
77 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
78 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
79 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
80
81 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
82 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
83 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
84 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
85
86 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
87
88 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
89 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
90
91 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
92 title name prefix.
93
94 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
95 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
96 generated at configure time.
97
98 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
99 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
100 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
101 argument have some effect on X11.
102
103 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
104
105 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
106 compiled with -no-stl.
107
108
109 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
110
111 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
112 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
113 one, while on qjackctl).
114
115 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
116 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
117
118
119 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
120
121 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
122 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
123
124 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
125 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
126 info updates.
127
128 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
129 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
130 device dialog.
131
132 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
133
134 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
135 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
136 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
137 Mayat, for pointing these out).
138
139
140 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
141
142 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
143
144 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
145 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
146 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
147
148 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
149 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
150
151 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
152 an instrument.
153
154 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
155
156
157 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
158
159 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
160 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
161 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
162 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
163
164 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
165 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
166 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
167
168 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
169 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
170
171 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
172
173 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
174 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
175 change information are now also posted to messages window.
176
177 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
178 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
179 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
180 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
181
182 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
183 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
184 sampler instrument file.
185
186 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
187 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
188 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
189 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
190
191 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
192 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
193 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
194
195 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
196 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
197 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
198 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
199
200
201 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
202
203 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
204 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
205 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
206
207 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
208 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
209 following common user-interface guidelines.
210
211 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
212 control structures.
213
214 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
215
216 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
217 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
218 channel (omni mode).
219
220 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
221 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
222
223 * Minor configure fixes.
224
225
226 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
227
228 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
229
230 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
231 and on session file save.
232
233 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
234 on create time.
235
236 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
237
238
239 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
240
241 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
242 over the empty workspace area.
243
244 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
245 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
246 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
247 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
248
249 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
250 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
251
252 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
253 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
254
255 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
256 each sampler channel strip.
257
258 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
259 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
260
261 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
262 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
263
264 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
265 new sampler channel strip.
266
267 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
268 suggested in the following lines:
269
270 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
271 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
272 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
273 LOAD ENGINE ...
274 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
275 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
276
277
278 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
