4 ChangeLog
5
6 CVS HEAD
7
8 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
9 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
10 (fixes segfault on device changes)
11
12 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
13 main menu.
14
15 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
16
17 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
18
19 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
20 particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
21
22 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
23 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
24
25
26 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
27
28 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
29 very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
30 name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
31
32 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
33 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
34
35 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
36 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
37
38 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
39 creating a new sampler channel.
40
41 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
42
43 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
44 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
45 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
46 first time).
47
48 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
49 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
50
51 * Added Windows file path support.
52
53 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
54 under win32.
55
56 * Qt4 port of the application.
57
58
59 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
60
61 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
62 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
63 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
64 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
65
66 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
67 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
68 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
69 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
70
71 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
72 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
73 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
74
75 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
76
77
78 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
79
80 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
81 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
82 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
83
84 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
85
86 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
87 the session state, only at code-level.
88
89 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
90 existing instrument file name.
91
92 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
93 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
94 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
95 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
96 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
97 corrected some tooltip text strings.
98
99 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
100 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
101 window managers.
102
103 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
104 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
105 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
106 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
107
108 * GPL address update.
109
110
111 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
112
113 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
114 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
115
116 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
117
118 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
119 installation paths have been added to configure command
120 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
121
122 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
123 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
124 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
125 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
126 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
127
128 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
129 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
130 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
131 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
132
133 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
134
135 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
136 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
137
138 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
139 title name prefix.
140
141 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
142 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
143 generated at configure time.
144
145 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
146 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
147 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
148 argument have some effect on X11.
149
150 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
151
152 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
153 compiled with -no-stl.
154
155
156 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
157
158 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
159 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
160 one, while on qjackctl).
161
162 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
163 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
164
165
166 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
167
168 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
169 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
170
171 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
172 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
173 info updates.
174
175 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
176 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
177 device dialog.
178
179 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
180
181 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
182 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
183 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
184 Mayat, for pointing these out).
185
186
187 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
188
189 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
190
191 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
192 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
193 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
194
195 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
196 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
197
198 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
199 an instrument.
200
201 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
202
203
204 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
205
206 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
207 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
208 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
209 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
210
211 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
212 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
213 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
214
215 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
216 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
217
218 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
219
220 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
221 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
222 change information are now also posted to messages window.
223
224 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
225 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
226 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
227 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
228
229 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
230 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
231 sampler instrument file.
232
233 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
234 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
235 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
236 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
237
238 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
239 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
240 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
241
242 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
243 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
244 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
245 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
246
247
248 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
249
250 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
251 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
252 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
253
254 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
255 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
256 following common user-interface guidelines.
257
258 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
259 control structures.
260
261 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
262
263 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
264 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
265 channel (omni mode).
266
267 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
268 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
269
270 * Minor configure fixes.
271
272
273 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
274
275 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
276
277 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
278 and on session file save.
279
280 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
281 on create time.
282
283 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
284
285
286 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
287
288 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
289 over the empty workspace area.
290
291 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
292 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
293 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
294 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
295
296 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
297 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
298
299 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
300 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
301
302 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
303 each sampler channel strip.
304
305 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
306 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
307
308 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
309 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
310
311 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
312 new sampler channel strip.
313
314 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
315 suggested in the following lines:
316
317 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
318 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
319 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
320 LOAD ENGINE ...
321 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
322 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
323
324
325 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
