272 seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian
273 6.
274
275 - Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling into
276 regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
277
278 - Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for other
279 than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has been added,
280 making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines instrument files
281 (*.sfz; *.sf2).
282
283 - General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
284

297
298 - Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher: now
299 at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit (65536),
300 possibly fixing bug #136.
301
302 - LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap just
303 makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
304
305 - MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
306 a menu separator has been added.
307
308 - Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
309 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
310
311 - MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
312 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
313 lame green solid background :).
314
315 - Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
316 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
317
318 - Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).

325 may follow ;)
326
327 - Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
328
329 - Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
330 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
331 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
332 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
333 a sampler the next time.
334
335 - Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
336
337 - Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
338
339 - Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
340 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
341 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
342 (default none).
343
344 - Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of the
345 ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
346 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
347
348 - Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
349 with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
350 running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
351 up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
352
353 - Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
354 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
355
356 - Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
357 screwed.
358
359 - Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
360 e.g. by other frontends.
361
362 - Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
363 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends (fixes segfault on device
364 changes)
365
366 - Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
367 "View" main menu.
368
369 - Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
370
371 - Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
372
373 - Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
374 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
375
376 - Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
377 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
378
379
380 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
381
382 - Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names
383 in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the
384 respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
385
386 - The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
387 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
388
389 - Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though the
390 main menu and toobar are not visible.
391
392 - Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
393 creating a new sampler channel.
394
395 - README requirements and configuration notes update.
396
397 - Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
398 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
399 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
400 first time).
401
402 - Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
403 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
404
405 - Added Windows file path support.
406
407 - Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
408 under win32.
409
410 - Qt4 port of the application.
411
412
413 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
414
415 - Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
416 mapping instrument files with special characters in their filename,
417 as well as special characters for instrument names and instrument
418 map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
419
420 - Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably does
421 exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate instrument
422 editor application; the channel instrument editor tool is also
423 accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
424
425 - Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
426 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
427 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
428
429 - Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
430
431
432 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
433
434 - Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and cyan
435 for solo is now the rule, but note that this color highlighting
436 is only rendered on some widget styles.
437
438 - Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
439
440 - Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving the
441 session state, only at code-level.
442
443 - Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
444 existing instrument file name.
445
446 - Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
447 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
448 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
449 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
450 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
451 corrected some tooltip text strings.
452
453 - Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which
454 were causing some sticky size behavior while on some window
455 managers.
456
457 - Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now with an
458 instrument list widget and editing capabilities; MIDI instrumeent
459 map program numbers are now displayed in the range 1-128, instead
460 of the internal 0-127.
461
462 - GPL address update.
463
464
465 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
466
467 - Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, on
468 qsampler.spec (RPM).
469
470 - Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
471
472 - Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
473 installation paths have been added to configure command arguments
474 (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
475
476 - Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an option
477 (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole number of selectable
478 instrument items is now being graciously increased from just the
479 bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 (one hundred), on the sampler
480 channel setup dialog.
481
482 - The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio and
483 MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, are now
484 expected to be a little better looking than it was before, at least
485 for those Mac OS X eyes.
486
487 - Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
488
489 - Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits the
490 sampler channel dialog, at last!
491
492 - All widget captions changed to include proper application title
493 name prefix.
494
495 - Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; sample
496 SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and generated at
497 configure time.
498
499 - Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of registering
500 the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal to quit() slot, just to
501 let the -geometry command line argument have some effect on X11.
502
503 - Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
504
505 - Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was compiled with
506 -no-stl.

508
509 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
510
511 - Fixed output disability when messages limit option is turned off
512 (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this one, while on qjackctl).
513
514 - Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling; minor
515 stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
516
517
518 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
519
520 - New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks to
521 Christian Schoenebeck design.
522
523 - Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found in an error
524 state, which was preventing correct channel info updates.
525
526 - Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added buddy text
527 label to device port/channel combobox on the device dialog.
528
529 - Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
530
531 - Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and Mac OS X
532 specialties. Also, install does the right thing with target file
533 modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim Mayat, for pointing these
534 out).
535
536
537 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
538
539 - Device configuration is now complete.
540
541 - [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention consistency,
542 regarding the enumeration of available sampler engines, Audio and
543 MIDI drivers.
544
545 - [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new instrument file
546 is select on the channel setup dialog.
547
548 - Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading an
549 instrument.
550
551 - Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
552
553
554 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
555
556 - Fixed device driver type channel information gathering, which was
557 severely flawed, dropping all channel session configurations to the
558 default audio driver type (which is ALSA) unexpectedly.
559
560 - Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a session LSCP
561 script, assuming that it should be always loaded from scratch (i.e.
562 zero channels).
563
564 - Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on session file
565 save, as its use is still troublesome.
566
567 - Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
568
569 - Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for only those
570 settings that are actually changed gets applied; change information
571 are now also posted to messages window.
572
573 - Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or instrument
574 files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files drop is allowed, but
575 it only makes sense for instrument files, each one prompting to
576 create a new sampler channel.
577
578 - Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also featured,
579 allowing the in-place change of the channel sampler instrument file.
580
581 - Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved from the
582 instrument file, even though libgig is available, avoiding
583 excessively annoying load times while on the channel dialog, when
584 huge instrument files are selected.
585
586 - Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where available,
587 as the default handler is usually fatal when a JACK client is
588 zombified abruptly.
589
590 - Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line count
591 exceeds in one third the user configured line count maximum; if Qt
592 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is otherwise set to the
593 optimized Qt::LogText format.
594
595
596 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
597
598 - Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget; actual
599 instrument names are now properly retrieved from the instrument
