* Qt4 migration: one first step forward to kiss Qt3Support goodbye.

1 Qsampler - A LinuxSampler Qt GUI Interface
2 ------------------------------------------

4 ChangeLog
5
6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
9 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
10
11 * Added Windows file path support.
12
13 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
14 under win32.
15
16 * Qt4 port of the application.
17
18
19 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
20
21 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
22 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
23 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
24 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
25
26 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
27 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
28 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
29 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
30
31 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
32 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
33 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
34
35 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
36
37
38 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
39
40 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
41 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
42 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
43
44 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
45
46 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
47 the session state, only at code-level.
48
49 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
50 existing instrument file name.
51
52 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
53 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
54 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
55 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
56 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
57 corrected some tooltip text strings.
58
59 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
60 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
61 window managers.
62
63 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
64 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
65 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
66 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
67
68 * GPL address update.
69
70
71 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
72
73 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
74 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
75
76 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
77
78 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
79 installation paths have been added to configure command
80 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
81
82 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
83 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
84 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
85 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
86 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
87
88 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
89 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
90 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
91 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
92
93 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
94
95 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
96 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
97
98 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
99 title name prefix.
100
101 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
102 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
103 generated at configure time.
104
105 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
106 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
107 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
108 argument have some effect on X11.
109
110 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
111
112 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
113 compiled with -no-stl.
114
115
116 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
117
118 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
119 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
120 one, while on qjackctl).
121
122 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
123 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
124
125
126 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
127
128 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
129 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
130
131 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
132 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
133 info updates.
134
135 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
136 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
137 device dialog.
138
139 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
140
141 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
142 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
143 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
144 Mayat, for pointing these out).
145
146
147 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
148
149 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
150
151 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
152 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
153 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
154
155 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
156 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
157
158 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
159 an instrument.
160
161 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
162
163
164 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
165
166 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
167 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
168 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
169 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
170
171 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
172 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
173 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
174
175 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
176 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
177
178 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
179
180 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
181 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
182 change information are now also posted to messages window.
183
184 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
185 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
186 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
187 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
188
189 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
190 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
191 sampler instrument file.
192
193 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
194 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
195 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
196 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
197
198 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
199 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
200 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
201
202 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
203 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
204 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
205 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
206
207
208 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
209
210 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
211 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
212 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
213
214 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
215 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
216 following common user-interface guidelines.
217
218 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
219 control structures.
220
221 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
222
223 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
224 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
225 channel (omni mode).
226
227 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
228 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
229
230 * Minor configure fixes.
231
232
233 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
234
235 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
236
237 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
238 and on session file save.
239
240 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
241 on create time.
242
243 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
244
245
246 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
247
248 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
249 over the empty workspace area.
250
251 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
252 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
253 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
254 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
255
256 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
257 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
258
259 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
260 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
261
262 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
263 each sampler channel strip.
264
265 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
266 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
267
268 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
269 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
270
271 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
272 new sampler channel strip.
273
274 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
275 suggested in the following lines:
276
277 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
278 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
279 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
280 LOAD ENGINE ...
281 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
282 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
283
284
285 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
