8 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to
9 the configure script eg. --bindir, --datadir, --localedir.
10
11 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
12
13 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
14
15 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
16
17 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
18
19 * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
20 and make.
21
22 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
23 as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
24 Debian 6.
25
26 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
27 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy. (EXPERIMENTAL)
28
29 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
30 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
31 been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
32 instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
33
34 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
35
36 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
37 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
38 wrong main widget hidden state.
39
40 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
41
42 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
43 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
44 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
45 targets (--enable-debug).
46
47 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
48
49 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
50 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
51 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
52
53 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
54 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
55
56 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
57 a menu separator has been added.
58
59 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
60 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
61
62 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
63 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
64 lame green solid background :).
65
66 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
67 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
68
69 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
70
71
72 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
73
74 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
75 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
76 ever may follow ;)
77
78 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
79
80 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
81 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
82 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
83 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
84 a sampler the next time.
85
86 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
87
88 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
89
90 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
91 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
92 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
93 (default none).
94
95 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
96 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
97 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
98
99 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
100 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
101 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
102 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
103
104 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
105 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
106
107 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
108 screwed.
109
110 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
111 e.g. by other frontends.
112
113 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
114 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
115 (fixes segfault on device changes)
116
117 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
118 "View" main menu.
119
120 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
121
122 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
123
124 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
125 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
126
127 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
128 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
129
130
131 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
132
133 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
134 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
135 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
136 default.
137
138 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
139 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
140
141 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
142 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
143
144 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
145 creating a new sampler channel.
146
147 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
148
149 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
150 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
151 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
152 first time).
153
154 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
155 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
156
157 * Added Windows file path support.
158
159 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
160 under win32.
161
162 * Qt4 port of the application.
163
164
165 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
166
167 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
168 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
169 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
170 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
171
172 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
173 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
174 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
175 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
176
177 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
178 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
179 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
180
181 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
182
183
184 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
185
186 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
187 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
188 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
189
190 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
191
192 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
193 the session state, only at code-level.
194
195 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
196 existing instrument file name.
197
198 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
199 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
200 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
201 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
202 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
203 corrected some tooltip text strings.
204
205 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
206 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
207 window managers.
208
209 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
210 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
211 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
212 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
213
214 * GPL address update.
215
216
217 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
218
219 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
220 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
221
222 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
223
224 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
225 installation paths have been added to configure command
226 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
227
228 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
229 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
230 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
231 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
232 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
233
234 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
235 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
236 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
237 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
238
239 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
240
241 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
242 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
243
244 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
245 title name prefix.
246
247 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
248 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
249 generated at configure time.
250
251 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
252 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
253 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
254 argument have some effect on X11.
255
256 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
257
258 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
259 compiled with -no-stl.
260
261
262 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
263
264 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
265 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
266 one, while on qjackctl).
267
268 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
269 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
270
271
272 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
273
274 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
275 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
276
277 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
278 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
279 info updates.
280
281 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
282 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
283 device dialog.
284
285 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
286
287 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
288 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
289 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
290 Mayat, for pointing these out).
291
292
293 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
294
295 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
296
297 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
298 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
299 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
300
301 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
302 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
303
304 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
305 an instrument.
306
307 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
308
309
310 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
311
312 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
313 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
314 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
315 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
316
317 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
318 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
319 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
320
321 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
322 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
323
324 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
325
326 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
327 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
328 change information are now also posted to messages window.
329
330 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
331 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
332 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
333 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
334
335 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
336 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
337 sampler instrument file.
338
339 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
340 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
341 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
342 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
343
344 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
345 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
346 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
347
348 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
349 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
350 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
351 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
352
353
354 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
355
356 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
357 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
358 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
359
360 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
361 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
362 following common user-interface guidelines.
363
364 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
365 control structures.
366
367 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
368
369 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
370 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
371 channel (omni mode).
372
373 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
374 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
375
376 * Minor configure fixes.
377
378
379 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
380
381 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
382
383 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
384 and on session file save.
385
386 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
387 on create time.
388
389 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
390
391
392 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
393
394 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
395 over the empty workspace area.
396
397 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
398 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
399 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
400 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
401
402 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
403 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
404
405 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
406 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
407
408 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
409 each sampler channel strip.
410
411 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
412 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
413
414 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
415 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
416
417 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
418 new sampler channel strip.
419
420 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
421 suggested in the following lines:
422
423 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
424 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
425 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
426 LOAD ENGINE ...
427 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
428 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
429
430
431 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
