7
8 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
9
10 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
11
12 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding font
13 size configuration, a new global user option is now available to the
14 rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size (default none).
15
16 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
17 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
18 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
19
20 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
21 with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
22 running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
23 up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
24
25 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
26 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
27
28 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
29 screwed.
30
31 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed e.g. by
32 other frontends.
33
34 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
35 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
36 (fixes segfault on device changes)
37
38 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the "View"
39 main menu.
40
41 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
42
43 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
44
45 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel strip,
46 particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
47
48 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
49 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
50
51
52 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
53
54 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names in a
55 very fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the respective
56 name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
57
58 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
59 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
60
61 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
62 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
63
64 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
65 creating a new sampler channel.
66
67 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
68
69 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
70 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
71 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
72 first time).
73
74 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
75 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
76
77 * Added Windows file path support.
78
79 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
80 under win32.
81
82 * Qt4 port of the application.
83
84
85 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
86
87 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
88 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
89 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
90 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
91
92 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
93 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
94 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
95 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
96
97 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
98 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
99 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
100
101 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
102
103
104 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
105
106 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
107 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
108 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
109
110 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
111
112 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
113 the session state, only at code-level.
114
115 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
116 existing instrument file name.
117
118 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
119 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
120 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
121 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
122 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
123 corrected some tooltip text strings.
124
125 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
126 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
127 window managers.
128
129 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
130 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
131 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
132 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
133
134 * GPL address update.
135
136
137 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
138
139 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
140 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
141
142 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
143
144 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
145 installation paths have been added to configure command
146 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
147
148 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
149 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
150 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
151 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
152 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
153
154 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
155 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
156 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
157 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
158
159 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
160
161 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
162 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
163
164 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
165 title name prefix.
166
167 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
168 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
169 generated at configure time.
170
171 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
172 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
173 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
174 argument have some effect on X11.
175
176 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
177
178 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
179 compiled with -no-stl.
180
181
182 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
183
184 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
185 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
186 one, while on qjackctl).
187
188 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
189 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
190
191
192 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
193
194 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
195 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
196
197 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
198 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
199 info updates.
200
201 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
202 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
203 device dialog.
204
205 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
206
207 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
208 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
209 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
210 Mayat, for pointing these out).
211
212
213 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
214
215 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
216
217 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
218 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
219 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
220
221 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
222 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
223
224 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
225 an instrument.
226
227 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
228
229
230 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
231
232 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
233 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
234 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
235 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
236
237 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
238 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
239 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
240
241 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
242 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
243
244 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
245
246 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
247 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
248 change information are now also posted to messages window.
249
250 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
251 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
252 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
253 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
254
255 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
256 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
257 sampler instrument file.
258
259 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
260 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
261 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
262 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
263
264 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
265 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
266 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
267
268 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
269 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
270 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
271 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
272
273
274 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
275
276 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
277 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
278 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
279
280 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
281 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
282 following common user-interface guidelines.
283
284 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
285 control structures.
286
287 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
288
289 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
290 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
291 channel (omni mode).
292
293 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
294 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
295
296 * Minor configure fixes.
297
298
299 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
300
301 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
302
303 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
304 and on session file save.
305
306 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
307 on create time.
308
309 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
310
311
312 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
313
314 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
315 over the empty workspace area.
316
317 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
318 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
319 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
320 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
321
322 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
323 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
324
325 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
326 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
327
328 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
329 each sampler channel strip.
330
331 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
332 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
333
334 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
335 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
336
337 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
338 new sampler channel strip.
339
340 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
341 suggested in the following lines:
342
343 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
344 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
345 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
346 LOAD ENGINE ...
347 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
348 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
349
350
351 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
