279 seen necessary on some bleeding-edge distros eg. Fedora 13, Debian
280 6.
281
282 - Moving from old deprecated Qt3'ish custom event post handling into
283 regular asynchronous signal/slot strategy.
284
285 - Sampler channel and instrument file requester support for other
286 than GIG engine instrument files (*gig; *.dls) has been added,
287 making roads for the newer SFZ and SF2 engines instrument files
288 (*.sfz; *.sf2).
289
290 - General standard dialog buttons layout is now in place.
291

304
305 - Device parameter spin-box default maximum has been set higher: now
306 at a magic 24-bit limit (16777216) instead of older 16-bit (65536),
307 possibly fixing bug #136.
308
309 - LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap just
310 makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
311
312 - MIDI Device Status menu is disabled when no MIDI device exists;
313 a menu separator has been added.
314
315 - Window manager's close button was found missing from the Devices
316 and Instruments widgets when on Qt >= 4.5, now fixed.
317
318 - MIDI activity indicator on channel strips and MIDI device status
319 widgets is now implemented as a flashing green LED, instead of a
320 lame green solid background :).
321
322 - Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
323 disk when View/Options... dialog changes are accepted and applied.
324
325 - Czech (cs) translation added (by Pavel Fric).

332 may follow ;)
333
334 - Converted obsolete QMessageBox forms to standard buttons.
335
336 - Added support for runtime max. voices / disk streams setting
337 (accessible from the "Options..." dialog). Those fine tuning
338 settings will be saved in case the user modified them and
339 automatically restored to the sampler when reconnecting to
340 a sampler the next time.
341
342 - Grayed/disabled palette color group fix for dark color themes.
343
344 - Fait-divers: desktop menu file touched to openSUSE conventions.
345
346 - Due to some trouble with newer Qt >= 4.4 applications regarding
347 font size configuration, a new global user option is now available
348 to the rescue: View/Options... /Display/Other/Base font size
349 (default none).
350
351 - Attempt to load Qt's own translation support and get rid of the
352 ever warning startup message, unless built in debug mode.
353 (transaction by Guido Scholz, while on qsynth-devel, thanks).
354
355 - Only one application instance is now allowed to be up and running,
356 with immediate but graceful termination upon startup iif an already
357 running instance is detected, which will see its main widget shown
358 up automatically (Qt/X11 platform only).
359
360 - Messages file logging makes its first long overdue appearance,
361 with user configurable settings in View/Options.../Server/Logging.
362
363 - Bugfix in sampler channel dialog, driver combo boxes' content were
364 screwed.
365
366 - Automatically add & remove channel strips as they were removed
367 e.g. by other frontends.
368
369 - Refresh device management dialog when device informations changed,
370 e.g. on changes caused by other frontends (fixes segfault on device
371 changes)
372
373 - Implemented MIDI device activity windows, selectable from the
374 "View" main menu.
375
376 - Implemented MIDI activity indicator on channel strips.
377
378 - Added FX Sends Dialog to Channel Strips.
379
380 - Color pallete fix for the instrument name display in channel
381 strip, particularly notorious on Mac OS X builds.
382
383 - Added dialog when the application exits which lets the user decide
384 whether to keep the LinuxSampler running or not.
385
386
387 0.2.1 2007-12-06 Qt4 migration was complete.
388
389 - Added recent new support of libgig for retrieving instrument names
390 in avery fast way. If libgig provides this feature, then the
391 respective name retrieval setting in qsampler is enabled by default.
392
393 - The current selected/activated channel-strip is now visually
394 evident while in the application workspace (highlighting).
395
396 - Make View/Menubar and Toolbar shortcuts accessible even though the
397 main menu and toobar are not visible.
398
399 - Audio routing table is initially hidden in the dialog, when
400 creating a new sampler channel.
401
402 - README requirements and configuration notes update.
403
404 - Disable OK button in sampler channel form and MIDI instrument
405 form if no valid engine is selected (to avoid bothering newbie
406 users with confusing LSCP syntax errors when using the UI the
407 first time).
408
409 - Fixed creation of devices (don't try to set device parameters
410 which the user did not touch in the device creation dialog).
411
412 - Added Windows file path support.
413
414 - Fixed win32/qmakefile and win32/config.h so that it compiles
415 under win32.
416
417 - Qt4 port of the application.
418
419
420 0.1.5 2007-10-15 Five months later a fifth is heard.
421
422 - Added support for LSCP escape sequences to allow loading and
423 mapping instrument files with special characters in their filename,
424 as well as special characters for instrument names and instrument
425 map names (requires LSCP v1.2 on sampler side).
426
427 - Added new button "Edit" to the channel strips, which probably does
428 exactly what you think it does: it opens an appropriate instrument
429 editor application; the channel instrument editor tool is also
430 accessible from the main menu and toolbar.
431
432 - Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
433 application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
434 spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant.
435
436 - Crash fix on double-clicking on a empty instrument list.
437
438
439 0.1.4 2007-05-04 Almost another year has gone by.
440
441 - Channel button colors have changed: yellow for mute and cyan
442 for solo is now the rule, but note that this color highlighting
443 is only rendered on some widget styles.
444
445 - Master sampler volume slider/spinbox combo is now featured.
446
447 - Initial support for sampler channel FX sends, while saving the
448 session state, only at code-level.
449
450 - Sampler channel setup dialog does not mandate for valid nor
451 existing instrument file name.
452
453 - Revised error verbosity in general and on session load/save;
454 hour-glass wait cursor is now displayed on session load/save;
455 keyboard shortcuts changed on MIDI instruments view context;
456 improved channel strip arrangement on session open/load;
457 instrument map entry removal confirmation (as optional);
458 corrected some tooltip text strings.
459
460 - Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which
461 were causing some sticky size behavior while on some window
462 managers.
463
464 - Added preliminary MIDI instrument mapping support; now with an
465 instrument list widget and editing capabilities; MIDI instrumeent
466 map program numbers are now displayed in the range 1-128, instead
467 of the internal 0-127.
468
469 - GPL address update.
470
471
472 0.1.3 2006-06-01 Its been a long year isn't it?
473
474 - Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, on
475 qsampler.spec (RPM).
476
477 - Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (UNTESTED).
478
479 - Optional specification of alternate liblscp and libgig
480 installation paths have been added to configure command arguments
481 (--with-liblscp, --with-libgig).
482
483 - Whenever the listing of actual instrument names is not an option
484 (e.g. due to lack of libgig support), the whole number of selectable
485 instrument items is now being graciously increased from just the
486 bare 8 (eight) right up through 100 (one hundred), on the sampler
487 channel setup dialog.
488
489 - The selection buttons, on the right of the Instrument, Audio and
490 MIDI devices combo-boxes, on the sampler channel dialog, are now
491 expected to be a little better looking than it was before, at least
492 for those Mac OS X eyes.
493
494 - Minor fixing on the initial messages dock-window height.
495
496 - Audio output channel routing configuration finally hits the
497 sampler channel dialog, at last!
498
499 - All widget captions changed to include proper application title
500 name prefix.
501
502 - Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; sample
503 SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and generated at
504 configure time.
505
506 - Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of registering
507 the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal to quit() slot, just to
508 let the -geometry command line argument have some effect on X11.
509
510 - Added MUTE/SOLO buttons to individual channel strips.
511
512 - Fixed compilation error which occured when Qt was compiled with
513 -no-stl.

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