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

4 ChangeLog
5
6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
9
10 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
11 particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
12
13 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
14 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
15
16
17 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
18
19 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
20 very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
21 name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
22
23 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
24 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
25
26 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
27 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
28
29 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
30 creating a new sampler channel.
31
32 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
33
34 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
35 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
36 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
37 first time).
38
39 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
40 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
41
42 * Added Windows file path support.
43
44 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
45 under win32.
46
47 * Qt4 port of the application.
48
49
50 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
51
52 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
53 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
54 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
55 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
56
57 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
58 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
59 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
60 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
61
62 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
63 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
64 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
65
66 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
67
68
69 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
70
71 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
72 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
73 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
74
75 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
76
77 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
78 the session state, only at code-level.
79
80 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
81 existing instrument file name.
82
83 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
84 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
85 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
86 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
87 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
88 corrected some tooltip text strings.
89
90 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
91 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
92 window managers.
93
94 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
95 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
96 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
97 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
98
99 * GPL address update.
100
101
102 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
103
104 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
105 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
106
107 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
108
109 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
110 installation paths have been added to configure command
111 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
112
113 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
114 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
115 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
116 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
117 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
118
119 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
120 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
121 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
122 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
123
124 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
125
126 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
127 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
128
129 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
130 title name prefix.
131
132 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
133 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
134 generated at configure time.
135
136 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
137 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
138 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
139 argument have some effect on X11.
140
141 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
142
143 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
144 compiled with -no-stl.
145
146
147 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
148
149 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
150 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
151 one, while on qjackctl).
152
153 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
154 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
155
156
157 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
158
159 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
160 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
161
162 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
163 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
164 info updates.
165
166 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
167 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
168 device dialog.
169
170 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
171
172 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
173 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
174 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
175 Mayat, for pointing these out).
176
177
178 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
179
180 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
181
182 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
183 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
184 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
185
186 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
187 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
188
189 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
190 an instrument.
191
192 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
193
194
195 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
196
197 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
198 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
199 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
200 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
201
202 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
203 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
204 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
205
206 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
207 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
208
209 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
210
211 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
212 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
213 change information are now also posted to messages window.
214
215 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
216 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
217 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
218 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
219
220 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
221 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
222 sampler instrument file.
223
224 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
225 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
226 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
227 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
228
229 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
230 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
231 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
232
233 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
234 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
235 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
236 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
237
238
239 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
240
241 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
242 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
243 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
244
245 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
246 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
247 following common user-interface guidelines.
248
249 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
250 control structures.
251
252 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
253
254 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
255 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
256 channel (omni mode).
257
258 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
259 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
260
261 * Minor configure fixes.
262
263
264 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
265
266 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
267
268 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
269 and on session file save.
270
271 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
272 on create time.
273
274 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
275
276
277 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
278
279 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
280 over the empty workspace area.
281
282 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
283 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
284 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
285 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
286
287 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
288 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
289
290 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
291 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
292
293 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
294 each sampler channel strip.
295
296 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
297 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
298
299 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
300 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
301
302 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
303 new sampler channel strip.
304
305 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
306 suggested in the following lines:
307
308 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
309 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
310 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
311 LOAD ENGINE ...
312 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
313 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
314
315
316 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
