7
8 * Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
9
10 * Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
11 installation paths have been added to configure command
12 arguments (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
13
14 * Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an
15 option (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole
16 number of selectable instrument items is now being graciously
17 increased from just the bare 8 (eight) right up through 100
18 (one hundred), on the sampler channel setup dialog.
19
20 * The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio
21 and MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog,
22 are now expected to be a little better looking than it was
23 before, at least for those Mac OS X eyes.
24
25 * Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
26
27 * Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits
28 the sampler channel dialog, at last! (EXPERIMENTAL).
29
30 * All widget captions changed to include proper application
31 title name prefix.
32
33 * Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date;
34 sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and
35 generated at configure time.
36
37 * Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of
38 registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal
39 to quit() slot, just to let the -geometry command line
40 argument have some effect on X11.
41
42 * Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
43
44 * Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was
45 compiled with -no-stl.
46
47
48 0.1.2 2005-06-23 Even minor workings needs a rest.
49
50 * Fixed output disability when messages limit option is
51 turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this
52 one, while on qjackctl).
53
54 * Added CHANNEL_INFO event feedback notification handling;
55 minor stream/voice usage auto-refresh cycle optimization.
56
57
58 0.1.1 2005-06-12 The mantra of bugfixes.
59
60 * New improved and full-featured application icon, thanks
61 to Christian Schoenebeck design.
62
63 * Fixed refresh cycle of channel strips that are found
64 in an error state, which was preventing correct channel
65 info updates.
66
67 * Device configuration now accessible on toolbar. Added
68 buddy text label to device port/channel combobox on the
69 device dialog.
70
71 * Include libgig version info on command line request (-v).
72
73 * Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and
74 Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing
75 with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim
76 Mayat, for pointing these out).
77
78
79 0.1.0 2005-05-23 Device configuration breakthrough.
80
81 * Device configuration is now complete (EXPERIMENTAL).
82
83 * [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
84 consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
85 sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers.
86
87 * [bug #13] Update instrument names list when a new
88 instrument file is select on the channel setup dialog.
89
90 * Show appropriate message in channel strip while loading
91 an instrument.
92
93 * Show libgig version in About box (in case libgig is used).
94
95
96 0.0.5 2005-03-04 Fifth alpha-release.
97
98 * Fixed device driver type channel information gathering,
99 which was severely flawed, dropping all channel session
100 configurations to the default audio driver type (which
101 is ALSA) unexpectedly.
102
103 * Channels are now properly renumbered when saving to a
104 session LSCP script, assuming that it should be always
105 loaded from scratch (i.e. zero channels).
106
107 * Disabled MIDI port setting on channel dialog, and on
108 session file save, as its use is still troublesome.
109
110 * Added new menu and toolbar option: Reset All Channels.
111
112 * Channel setup changes are now properly filtered, as for
113 only those settings that are actually changed gets applied;
114 change information are now also posted to messages window.
115
116 * Drag-and-drop of either session files (LSCP scripts) or
117 instrument files (GIG) are now supported. Multiple files
118 drop is allowed, but it only makes sense for instrument
119 files, each one prompting to create a new sampler channel.
120
121 * Drag-and-drop to an existing channel strip is now also
122 featured, allowing the in-place change of the channel
123 sampler instrument file.
124
125 * Actual instrument names are now optionally retrieved
126 from the instrument file, even though libgig is available,
127 avoiding excessively annoying load times while on the
128 channel dialog, when huge instrument files are selected.
129
130 * Set to ignore the SIGPIPE ("Broken pipe") signal, where
131 available, as the default handler is usually fatal when
132 a JACK client is zombified abruptly.
133
134 * Messages window limit is now enforced only when the line
135 count exceeds in one third the user configured line count
136 maximum; if Qt 3.2.0+ is in use, the QTextView widget is
137 otherwise set to the optimized Qt::LogText format.
138
139
140 0.0.4 2004-11-19 Fourth alpha-release.
141
142 * Instrument index selection now made via combo box widget;
143 actual instrument names are now properly retrieved from
144 the instrument file, provided if libgig is available.
145
146 * Sampler channels strips are just created if, and only if,
147 the respective channel setup dialog is actually accepted,
148 following common user-interface guidelines.
149
150 * Almost complete rewrite of sampler channel strips internal
151 control structures.
152
153 * Sampler reset command action added to menu and toolbar.
154
155 * MIDI channel selection is now a dropdown list, allowing
156 the explicit selection for "All" channels input per sampler
157 channel (omni mode).
158
159 * Channel strip display glass effect has changed background
160 color to black (was green), being now an user option.
161
162 * Minor configure fixes.
163
164
165 0.0.3 2004-07-06 Third alpha-release.
166
167 * Mon-modal intrument file loading and status support.
168
169 * Effective MIDI input port setting on channel dialog,
170 and on session file save.
171
172 * Channel dialog gets sensible engine and driver defaults
173 on create time.
174
175 * Implied channel reset on successful instrument load.
176
177
178 0.0.2 2004-06-15 Pre-revolutionary release.
179
180 * The channel context menu is also accessible by right-clicking
181 over the empty workspace area.
182
183 * Added small wait event loop on qsamplerMainForm::stopServer(),
184 so let local server terminate gracefully and stabilize, and
185 avoiding a probable segfault on exit, which was preventing the
186 correct salvage of settings and configuration.
187
188 * Maximum channel volume percent setting is now a global option,
189 provided to override the default (which is 100%).
190
191 * Client/server transaction timeout option upper limit has been
192 increased from 5000 to 60000 milliseconds.
193
194 * A channel context menu is now featured, by right-clicking over
195 each sampler channel strip.
196
197 * Commented SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_PORT command from
198 qsamplerMainForm::saveSessionFile(), it has no effect.
199
200 * Insert a n #include <unistd.h> on qsamplerMessages.cpp, between
201 a #if !defined(WIN32) clause.
202
203 * An initial non zero value (0.8) is now set for volume of every
204 new sampler channel strip.
205
206 * The order to load/save and setup channel settings is now as
207 suggested in the following lines:
208
209 SET CHANNEL AUDIO_OUTPUT_TYPE ...
210 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE ...
211 SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_CHANNEL ...
212 LOAD ENGINE ...
213 LOAD INSTRUMENT ...
214 SET CHANNEL VOLUME ...
215
216
217 0.0.1 2004-06-05 Primordial alpha release.
