8 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
9 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
10
11 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
12 screwed.
13
14 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
15 other frontends.
16
17 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
18 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
19 (fixes segfault on device changes)
20
21 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
22 main menu.
23
24 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
25
26 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
27
28 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
29 particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
30
31 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
32 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
33
34
35 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
36
37 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
38 very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
39 name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
40
41 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
42 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
43
44 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
45 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
46
47 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
48 creating a new sampler channel.
49
50 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
51
52 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
53 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
54 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
55 first time).
56
57 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
58 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
59
60 * Added Windows file path support.
61
62 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
63 under win32.
64
65 * Qt4 port of the application.
66
67
68 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
69
70 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
71 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
72 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
73 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
74
75 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
76 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
77 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
78 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
79
80 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
81 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
82 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
83
84 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
85
86
87 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
88
89 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
90 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
91 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
92
93 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
94
95 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
96 the session state, only at code-level.
97
98 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
99 existing instrument file name.
100
101 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
102 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
103 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
104 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
105 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
106 corrected some tooltip text strings.
107
108 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
109 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
110 window managers.
111
112 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
113 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
114 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
115 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
116
117 * GPL address update.
118
119
120 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
121
122 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
123 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
124
125 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
126
127 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
128 installation paths have been added to configure command
129 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
130
131 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
132 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
133 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
134 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
135 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
136
137 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
138 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
139 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
140 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
141
142 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
143
144 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
145 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
146
147 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
148 title name prefix.
149
150 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
151 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
152 generated at configure time.
153
154 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
155 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
156 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
157 argument have some effect on X11.
158
159 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
160
161 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
162 compiled with -no-stl.
163
164
165 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
166
167 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
168 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
169 one, while on qjackctl).
170
171 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
172 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
173
174
175 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
176
177 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
178 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
179
180 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
181 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
182 info updates.
183
184 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
185 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
186 device dialog.
187
188 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
189
190 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
191 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
192 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
193 Mayat, for pointing these out).
194
195
196 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
197
198 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
199
200 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
201 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
202 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
203
204 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
205 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
206
207 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
208 an instrument.
209
210 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
211
212
213 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
214
215 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
216 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
217 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
218 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
219
220 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
221 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
222 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
223
224 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
225 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
226
227 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
228
229 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
230 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
231 change information are now also posted to messages window.
232
233 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
234 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
235 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
236 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
237
238 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
239 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
240 sampler instrument file.
241
242 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
243 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
244 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
245 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
246
247 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
248 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
249 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
250
251 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
252 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
253 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
254 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
255
256
257 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
258
259 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
260 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
261 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
262
263 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
264 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
265 following common user-interface guidelines.
266
267 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
268 control structures.
269
270 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
271
272 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
273 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
274 channel (omni mode).
275
276 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
277 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
278
279 * Minor configure fixes.
280
281
282 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
283
284 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
285
286 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
287 and on session file save.
288
289 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
290 on create time.
291
292 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
293
294
295 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
296
297 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
298 over the empty workspace area.
299
300 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
301 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
302 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
303 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
304
305 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
306 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
307
308 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
309 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
310
311 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
312 each sampler channel strip.
313
314 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
315 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
316
317 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
318 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
319
320 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
321 new sampler channel strip.
322
323 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
324 suggested in the following lines:
325
326 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
327 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
328 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
329 LOAD ENGINE ...
330 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
331 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
332
333
334 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
