* Qt4 migration: finished / fixed device management dialog.
* Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters which the
  user did not touch in the device creation dialog, this bug already
  existed in the Qt3 version of QSampler).

6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters which the
9 user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
10
11 * Started Qt4 port of the application
12 (not completed and very broken yet!).
13
14
15 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
16
17 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
18 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
19 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
20 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
21
22 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
23 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
24 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
25 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
26
27 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
28 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
29 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
30
31 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
32
33
34 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
35
36 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
37 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
38 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
39
40 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
41
42 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
43 the session state, only at code-level.
44
45 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
46 existing instrument file name.
47
48 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
49 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
50 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
51 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
52 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
53 corrected some tooltip text strings.
54
55 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
56 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
57 window managers.
58
59 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
60 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
61 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
62 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
63
64 * GPL address update.
65
66
67 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
68
69 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
70 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
71
72 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
73
74 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
75 installation paths have been added to configure command
76 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
77
78 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
79 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
80 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
81 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
82 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
83
84 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
85 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
86 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
87 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
88
89 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
90
91 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
92 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
93
94 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
95 title name prefix.
96
97 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
98 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
99 generated at configure time.
100
101 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
102 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
103 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
104 argument have some effect on X11.
105
106 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
107
108 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
109 compiled with -no-stl.
110
111
112 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
113
114 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
115 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
116 one, while on qjackctl).
117
118 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
119 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
120
121
122 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
123
124 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
125 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
126
127 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
128 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
129 info updates.
130
131 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
132 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
133 device dialog.
134
135 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
136
137 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
138 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
139 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
140 Mayat, for pointing these out).
141
142
143 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
144
145 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
146
147 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
148 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
149 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
150
151 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
152 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
153
154 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
155 an instrument.
156
157 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
158
159
160 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
161
162 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
163 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
164 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
165 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
166
167 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
168 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
169 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
170
171 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
172 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
173
174 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
175
176 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
177 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
178 change information are now also posted to messages window.
179
180 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
181 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
182 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
183 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
184
185 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
186 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
187 sampler instrument file.
188
189 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
190 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
191 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
192 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
193
194 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
195 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
196 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
197
198 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
199 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
200 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
201 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
202
203
204 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
205
206 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
207 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
208 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
209
210 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
211 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
212 following common user-interface guidelines.
213
214 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
215 control structures.
216
217 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
218
219 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
220 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
221 channel (omni mode).
222
223 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
224 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
225
226 * Minor configure fixes.
227
228
229 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
230
231 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
232
233 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
234 and on session file save.
235
236 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
237 on create time.
238
239 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
240
241
242 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
243
244 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
245 over the empty workspace area.
246
247 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
248 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
249 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
250 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
251
252 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
253 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
254
255 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
256 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
257
258 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
259 each sampler channel strip.
260
261 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
262 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
263
264 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
265 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
266
267 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
268 new sampler channel strip.
269
270 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
271 suggested in the following lines:
272
273 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
274 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
275 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
276 LOAD ENGINE ...
277 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
278 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
279
280
281 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
