9 * Fixed device management dialog not responding to user changes.
10
11 - A little hardening on the configure (autoconf) macro side.
12
13
14 0.5.0 2017-12-12 An Autumn'17 release.
15
16 - French (fr) translation added by Olivier Humbert
17 (qsampler_fr.ts).
18
19 - Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent
20 from build/configure template chains.
21
22 - Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo
23 file (formerly AppData).
24
25
26 0.4.3 2017-04-27 Pre-LAC2017 release frenzy.
27
28 - Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
29
30 - Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of
31 the configure build date and time stamps.
32
33
34 0.4.2 2016-11-14 A Fall'16 release.
35
36 * Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application
37 instance setup.
38
39 * Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command
40 line options, wrt. installation directories specification,
41 eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.
42
43
44 0.4.1 2016-09-14 End of Summer'16 release.
45
46 * Fixed a race condition on creating sampler channels that ended
47 in duplicate channel strips; also fixed channel auto-arrange.
48
49 * Dropped the --enable-qt5 from configure as found redundant
50 given that's the build default anyway (suggestion by Guido
51 Scholz, while for Qtractor, thanks).
52
53 * Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
54 auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
55
56
57 0.4.0 2016-04-05 Spring'16 release frenzy.
58
59 * Added application keywords to freedesktop.org's AppData.
60
61 * Prevent x11extras module from use on non-X11/Unix plaforms.
62
63 * Messages standard output capture has been improved again, now
64 in both ways a non-blocking pipe may get.
65
66 * Single/unique application instance control adapted to Qt5/X11.
67
68
69 0.3.1 2015-07-19 Summer'15 release frenzy.
70
71 * Fixed configure script's Qt include directory lookup for some
72 64bit Linux flavours.
73
74 * Prefer Qt5 over Qt4 by default with configure script.
75
76 * A new top-level widget window geometry state save and restore
77 sub-routine is now in effect.
78
79 * Fixed for some strict tests for Qt4 vs. Qt5 configure builds.
80
81
82 0.3.0 2015-03-25 Pre-LAC2015 release frenzy.
83
84 * Added application description as freedesktop.org's AppData.
85
86 * Added this "Don't ask/show this again" option to some if not most
87 of the nagging warning/error message boxes.
88
89 * Mac OS X: Fixed default path of linuxsampler binary.
90
91 * When closing qsampler and showing the user the dialog whether to
92 stop the LinuxSampler backend, set the default selection to "Yes".
93
94 * Master volume slider now getting proper layout when changing its
95 main toolbar orientation.
96
97 * Messages standard output capture has been slightly improved
98 as for non-blocking i/o, whenever available.
99
100 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect the new --includedir.
101
102 * A man page has beed added (making up Matt Flax's work on
103 debian, thanks).
104
105 * Translations install directory change.
106
107 * Added support for SF2 instrument names/preset enumeration.
108
109 * Added instrument list popup on channel strip which shows up when
110 the instrument name is clicked. Allows faster switching among
111 instruments of the same file.
112
113 * Adjusted configure check for libgig to detect its new --libdir
114 (impolitely forcing the user now to have at least libgig 3.3.0).
115
116
117 0.2.3 2013-12-31 A fifth of a Jubilee.
118
119 * Allow the build system to include an user specified LDFLAGS.
120
121 * More preparations for Qt5 configure build.
122
123 * Standard scalable format (SVG) and MIME type icons support for
124 session files (*.lscp) is now being added.
125
126 * Preparations for Qt5 migration.
127
128 * Added include <unistd.h> to shut up gcc 4.7 build failures.
129
130 * Make(ing) -jN parallel builds now available for the masses.
131
132 * Fixed Makefile.in handling of installation directories to the
133 configure script eg. --datadir, --localedir.
134
135 * Made lookup of translation files work inside a Mac OS X bundle.
136
137 * Minor Mac OS X compilation error fix.
138
139 * Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working threads.
140
141 * Made lookup of translation files more robust on Windows.
142
143 * Fixes for cross compiling and building for Windows with configure
144 and make.
145
146 * libX11 is now being added explicitly to the build link phase,
147 as seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13,
148 Debian 6.
149
150 * Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling
151 into regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
152
153 * Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for
154 other than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has
155 been added, making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines
156 instrument files (*.sfz; *.sf2).
157
158 * General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
159
160 * Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has
161 been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to
162 wrong main widget hidden state.
163
164 * General source tree layout and build configuration change.
165
166 * Automatic crash-dump reports, debugger stack-traces (gdb), back-
167 traces, whatever, are being introduced as a brand new configure
168 option (--enable-stacktrace) and default enabled on debug build
169 targets (--enable-debug).
170
171 * Attempt to fix broken instrument list model/view on Qt >= 4.6.
172
173 * Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher:
174 now at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit
175 (65536), possibly fixing bug #136.
176
177 * LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
178 just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
179
180 * MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
181 a menu separator has been added.
182
183 * Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
184 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
185
186 * MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
187 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
188 lame green solid background :).
189
190 * Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
191 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
192
193 * Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).
194
195
196 0.2.2 2009-08-01 New release cycle.
197
198 * Russian (qsampler_ru.ts by Alexandre Prokoudine) makes it as
199 brand first translation delivered. Thanks and welcomes whom
200 ever may follow ;)
201
202 * Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
203
204 * Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
205 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
206 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
207 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
208 a sampler the next time.
209
210 * Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
211
212 * Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
213
214 * Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
215 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
216 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
217 (default none).
218
219 * Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of
220 the ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
221 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
222
223 * Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and
224 running, with immediate but graceful termination upon startup
225 iif an already running instance is detected, which will see its
226 main widget shown up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
227
228 * Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
229 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
230
231 * Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
232 screwed.
233
234 * Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
235 e.g. by other frontends.
236
237 * Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
238 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends
239 (fixes segfault on device changes)
240
241 * Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
242 "View" main menu.
243
244 * Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
245
246 * Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
247
248 * Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
249 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
250
251 * Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user
252 decide whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
253
254
255 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
256
257 * Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument
258 names in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then
259 the respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by
260 default.
261
262 * The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
263 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
264
265 * Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though
266 the main menu and toobar are not visible.
267
268 * Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
269 creating a new sampler channel.
270
271 * README requirements and configuration notes update.
272
273 * Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
274 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
275 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
276 first time).
277
278 * Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
279 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
280
281 * Added Windows file path support.
282
283 * Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
284 under win32.
285
286 * Qt4 port of the application.
287
288
289 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
290
291 * Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
292 mapping instrument files with special characters in their
293 filename, as well as special characters for instrument names
294 and instrument map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
295
296 * Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably
297 does exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate
298 instrument editor application; the channel instrument editor
299 tool is also accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
300
301 * Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
302 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
303 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
304
305 * Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
306
307
308 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
309
310 * Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and
311 cyan for solo is now the rule, but note that this color
312 highlighting is only rendered on some widget styles.
313
314 * Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
315
316 * Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving
317 the session state, only at code-level.
318
319 * Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
320 existing instrument file name.
321
322 * Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
323 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
324 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
325 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
326 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
327 corrected some tooltip text strings.
328
329 * Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag,
330 which were causing some sticky size behavior while on some
331 window managers.
332
333 * Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now
334 with an instrument list widget and editing capabilities;
335 MIDI instrumeent map program numbers are now displayed in
336 the range 1-128, instead of the internal 0-127.
337
338 * GPL address update.
339
340
341 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
342
343 * Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license,
344 on qsampler.spec (RPM).
345
346 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
347
348 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
349 installation paths have been added to configure command
350 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
351
352 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
353 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
354 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
355 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
356 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
357
358 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
359 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
360 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
361 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
362
363 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
364
365 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
366 the sampler channel dialog, at last!
367
368 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
369 title name prefix.
370
371 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
372 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
373 generated at configure time.
374
375 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
376 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
377 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
378 argument have some effect on X11.
379
380 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
381
382 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
383 compiled with -no-stl.
384
385
386 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
387
388 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
389 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
390 one, while on qjackctl).
391
392 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
393 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
394
395
396 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
397
398 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
399 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
400
401 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
402 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
403 info updates.
404
405 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
406 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
407 device dialog.
408
409 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
410
411 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
412 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
413 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
414 Mayat, for pointing these out).
415
416
417 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
418
419 * Device configuration is now complete.
420
421 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
422 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
423 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
424
425 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
426 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
427
428 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
429 an instrument.
430
431 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
432
433
434 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
435
436 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
437 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
438 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
439 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
440
441 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
442 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
443 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
444
445 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
446 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
447
448 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
449
450 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
451 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
452 change information are now also posted to messages window.
453
454 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
455 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
456 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
457 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
458
459 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
460 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
461 sampler instrument file.
462
463 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
464 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
465 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
466 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
467
468 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
469 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
470 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
471
472 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
473 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
474 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
475 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
476
477
478 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
479
480 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
481 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
482 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
483
484 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
485 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
486 following common user-interface guidelines.
487
488 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
489 control structures.
490
491 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
492
493 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
494 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
495 channel (omni mode).
496
497 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
498 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
499
500 * Minor configure fixes.
501
502
503 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
504
505 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
506
507 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
508 and on session file save.
509
510 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
511 on create time.
512
513 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
514
515
516 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
517
518 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
519 over the empty workspace area.
520
521 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
522 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
523 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
524 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
525
526 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
527 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
528
529 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
530 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
531
532 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
533 each sampler channel strip.
534
535 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
536 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
537
538 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
539 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
540
541 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
542 new sampler channel strip.
543
544 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
545 suggested in the following lines:
546
547 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
548 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
549 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
550 LOAD ENGINE ...
551 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
552 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
553
554
555 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
