7
8 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
9 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
10
11 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
12 creating a new sampler channel.
13
14 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
15
16 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
17 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
18 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
19 first time).
20
21 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
22 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
23
24 * Added Windows file path support.
25
26 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
27 under win32.
28
29 * Qt4 port of the application.
30
31
32 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
33
34 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
35 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
36 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
37 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
38
39 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
40 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
41 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
42 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
43
44 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
45 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
46 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
47
48 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
49
50
51 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
52
53 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
54 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
55 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
56
57 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
58
59 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
60 the session state, only at code-level.
61
62 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
63 existing instrument file name.
64
65 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
66 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
67 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
68 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
69 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
70 corrected some tooltip text strings.
71
72 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
73 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
74 window managers.
75
76 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
77 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
78 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
79 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
80
81 * GPL address update.
82
83
84 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
85
86 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
87 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
88
89 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
90
91 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
92 installation paths have been added to configure command
93 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
94
95 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
96 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
97 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
98 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
99 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
100
101 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
102 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
103 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
104 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
105
106 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
107
108 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
109 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
110
111 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
112 title name prefix.
113
114 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
115 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
116 generated at configure time.
117
118 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
119 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
120 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
121 argument have some effect on X11.
122
123 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
124
125 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
126 compiled with -no-stl.
127
128
129 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
130
131 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
132 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
133 one, while on qjackctl).
134
135 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
136 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
137
138
139 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
140
141 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
142 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
143
144 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
145 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
146 info updates.
147
148 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
149 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
150 device dialog.
151
152 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
153
154 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
155 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
156 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
157 Mayat, for pointing these out).
158
159
160 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
161
162 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
163
164 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
165 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
166 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
167
168 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
169 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
170
171 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
172 an instrument.
173
174 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
175
176
177 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
178
179 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
180 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
181 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
182 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
183
184 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
185 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
186 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
187
188 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
189 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
190
191 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
192
193 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
194 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
195 change information are now also posted to messages window.
196
197 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
198 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
199 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
200 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
201
202 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
203 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
204 sampler instrument file.
205
206 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
207 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
208 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
209 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
210
211 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
212 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
213 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
214
215 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
216 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
217 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
218 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
219
220
221 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
222
223 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
224 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
225 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
226
227 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
228 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
229 following common user-interface guidelines.
230
231 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
232 control structures.
233
234 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
235
236 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
237 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
238 channel (omni mode).
239
240 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
241 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
242
243 * Minor configure fixes.
244
245
246 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
247
248 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
249
250 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
251 and on session file save.
252
253 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
254 on create time.
255
256 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
257
258
259 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
260
261 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
262 over the empty workspace area.
263
264 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
265 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
266 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
267 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
268
269 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
270 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
271
272 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
273 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
274
275 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
276 each sampler channel strip.
277
278 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
279 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
280
281 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
282 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
283
284 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
285 new sampler channel strip.
286
287 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
288 suggested in the following lines:
289
290 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
291 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
292 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
293 LOAD ENGINE ...
294 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
295 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
296
297
298 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
