- update to 0.5.1
- More LADISH support: SIGTERM signal is now trapped for graceful
application close.
- Improved paste-repeat snap precision when dealing with large
repeat counts.
- Czech (cs) translation added, by Pavel Fric.
- Added a few snap-to-beat divisors (unusual Beat/5, Beat/7,
Beat/9 and Beat/10) for completeness sake.
- Such a simple change of mind with a visual twist: the "A" track
automation button/menu has now been
- moved to the right-most, as it belongs ;)
- Auto-connection of dedicated audio outputs is now optional
for default audio master bus, metronome, player and MIDI
instrument plugin dedicated audio outputs.
- Finally, after a pitiful large brain-dead period, generic plugin
forms are now showing all possible controllable plugin
parameters featuring a paged, tabbed dialog, whenever applicable.
- Special hack/fix for JUCE based native VST plugins, which are
the most actually found with a GUI editor, skipping explicit
shared library unloading and thus avoiding some mysterious
crashes on session close and/or application exit.
- Support for MIDI-fx plugins (native VST and/or LV2) is now
implemented and functional (intra-chain only).
- Instrument plugin bank/program selection was found broken or
dead in the water, specially on VSTi, now finally fixed again.
- VST plugin parameter value display on generic form is now
back in business (were dead regarding value changes).
- All plugin's provided GUI editors are now honored by being
popped up first, instead of the usual but good old generic
plugin form.
- Long overdue implementation of a dedicated MIDI file player is
now accessible from the MIDI files widget; one can play the
whole SMF or just a single track or channel.
- Update to a newer VeSTige header, probably fixing an old 32 vs. 64
bit mismatch.
- Avoid JACK session filenames/paths to be ever shown; also avoid
all buses ports (re)connections when JACK sessions are (re)loaded,
given the fact that session management will take care of just that;
more also, untitled/default session names are now also picked up to
match current LADISH project name, obviously given by LADISH_PROJECT_NAME
environment variable, whenever present (as suggested by Nedko Ardaunov).
- Paste-repeat floating selection has been fixed (was showing only the
last repeated selection).
- Coherence of tempo changes on audio and MIDI clips, whether automatic
time-stretching is in effect, has been slightly improved, hopefully fixed.
- Bold attempt to get linked (aka. ref-counted) audio and MIDI
clips into practice (EXPERIMENTAL).
- Main track view now showing all clips above the grid.
- Added support for both new and older (deprecated URI) lv2_external_ui
extension (by Nedko Ardaunov).
- Following yet another great idea, and implementation, by Holger
Dehnhardt, who already brought us the new aux-send insert plugin,
thanks again, the so-called direct access control option is now
featured for any plugin parameter right from plugin listings eg. mixer strips.
- General resource consumption and management has been slightly
improved, due to internal buses allocation optimization.
- Fixed nasty crash-bug that was severely affecting all sessions
that had at least one insert (pseudo-)plugin on any audio input bus.
- All automation curve nodes are now relocated whenever disparate
session sample-rate is detected on load.
- New aux-send/insert pseudo-plugin is now introduced, allowing to
route any track audio output to any other audio output bus
besides the nominal one -- thanks to an original implementation from Holger Dehnhardt.
- New immediate edit/loop-range settings from current clip extents,
accessible on the main menu (Clip/Range Set, Loop Set) and from
MIDI clip editor menu as well (File/Range Set, Loop Set).
- MIDI Names XML files (*.midnam) may now be imported into MIDI
instrument definitions. (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Avoid cursor reset while editing MIDI events list (fixes bug #3380259,
reported by Frank Neumann).
- Just some typos fixing (patch #3378382 by c-korn).
- Track view automation curve editing mode has been slightly fixed,
now allowing for other previously existing point-and-click mouse operations.
- Default automation curve mode is now preserved (following a
suggestion by Alexandre Prokoudine, thanks).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 5 07:34:22 UTC 2011 - mseben@gmail.com
- update to 0.5.0
- MIDI controller learn/catch-up sees the way in:
MIDI controller changes are now only effective
after catching-up with their respective program
parameters, avoiding abrupt jumps and keeping a
safe and continuous behavior. (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Track/Height menu is now featured, giving access
to Increase, Decrease or Reset the current track
height.
- All changes to audio gain and panning on tracks
and buses are now applied following a piece-wise
linear ramp, reducing the old nasty clicks, pops
or zipper artifacts that might be awfully audible
on some situations, most specially on automation.
- All zooming in/out is now relative to either the
viewport center or current mouse cursor position
if found laying inside.
- TYOQA! the underground sources have emerged:...
after years in the making, track automation, or
dynamic curves as some like to call, is finally
a reality, tricky but real ;)
- Audio clip anti-glitch/ramp-smoothing effect is
now slightly independent of current buffer-size
period (mitigating bug #3338113 effect).
- Once buried under the Edit menu, Clip menu has
been finally promoted to top main menu.
- Debugging stacktrace now applies to all working
threads.
- Fixed muted loop playback on audio clips ending
coincidentally with the loop-turn/end point.
- Old/deprecated JACK port latency support added
to audio recording latency compensation.
- Audio clip merge/export lock-ups now untangled
(fixes bug #3308998).
- LV2 extension headers update.
- Fixed configure of newer LV2 host implementation
stack (LILV) when older (SLV2) is not present.

for all changes since 0.4.7
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun Oct 3 22:10:16 UTC 2010 - davejplater@gmail.com
- Applied patch - qtractor-0.4.7.1-1.patch from upstream to fix 11.2
build.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Oct 2 11:49:39 UTC 2010 - davejplater@gmail.com
- Update to version 0.4.7
- Upstream changes are too numerous to list for changes go to
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Qtractor?content=56325
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Jun 16 09:58:05 UTC 2010 - davejplater@gmail.com
- Update to version 0.4.6
- Introducing a non-painting edit sub-mode on the MIDI clip
editor's piano-roll (see Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw menu).
- The MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll) is now a lot more
quiet about saving its own dirty content, delegating all
salvage questions to main session control.
- Don't show session restart message box when changing JACK
transport mode option anymore.
- Dedicated MIDI control bus switching fixed. Was closing
the wrong bus eventually and crashing the whole show with
it (fixes bug #2989590).
- MIDI bank/program backout has been corrected on MIDI track
properties dialog rejection (ie. user cancellation).
- MIDI bank select method has been corrected for tracks with
no instrument defined (probably fixing bug #2987071).
- LV2 UI Instance and Data Access extension support added;
reduce LV2 external UI parameter value update flickering.
- JACK session infrastructure support. (EXPERIMENTAL)
- Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic
has been slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures
due to wrong main widget hidden state.
- Initial mixer widget extents are now set reasonably larger.
- General source tree layout and build configuration change.
- See /usr/share/doc/packages/qtractor/ChangeLog for more.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 25 10:25:27 UTC 2010 - mseben@novell.com
- updated to version 0.4.5
- Changing loop points while playback is rolling, with the
play-head any near, was leaving audio clips out-of-sync.
- MIDI event list view was missing some selected items with
the very same onset time, now fixed.
- When failing to detect a SSE enabled build, the CFLAGS
variables are now properly restored to their previous
sane state, preventing all subsequent dependency tests
from false positives (bug# 565860@bugs.debian.org).
- MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll) multiple selection has
been fixed (again) re. move/paste-snapping consistency.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 18 14:47:00 UTC 2010 - mseben@novell.com
- updated to version 0.4.4
- For all the DSSI plugins that have output control ports,
a host feedback/update process cycle is now being finally
provided: all output control ports are now marshaled to
their respective GUI process, rather often and when found
open/visible.
- MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll) snap-to-beat behavior on
edit mode is now kind of more like 'filling-in-the-blanks'
(as Frank Neumann et al. wishes ;)
- Fixed MIDI clip editor mistake when reverting to initial
clip length, before closing and discard changes (thanks
to Frank Neumann, for spotting this one).
- LADISH Level 1 support has been added: SIGUSR1 signal trap
just makes it a shortcut to File/Save.
- Avoid parameter value flickering, due to duplicate command
invocation, most evident when changing values massively on
native Linux VSTi plugin editor GUIs (thanks to a detailed
report on this odd behavior, from Mike of linuxDSP.co.uk).
- Another TODO item bites the dust: MIDI event list editor,
now acessible from the MIDI clip editor menu (View/Events)
- Last used session directory is now made current on startup
only when no filename is given on the command line (solving
bug #2920244).
- Current snap-to-beat setting (time quantization) now affects
the anchor event only, while dragging, moving and/or pasting
multiple events over the MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll).
- Make anti-glitch audio clip micro fade-in/outs independent
from current buffer size as much as possible.
- Audio/MIDI engine drift correction gets really sophisticated,
with the help of (now old) ALSA MIDI tempo skew facility.
- Edit/Clip/Import... menu option is now available for expedite
clip insertion from audio and MIDI file requesters.
- Set default session directory effective to file's location.
- Audio track/clip recording process has been target to special
refactorization across the internal audio engine process cycle,
in a late attempt to get self-bounce/recording effective and
working consistently for all track layouts.
- All session related dialogs are now set to window modality,
(were set to default application modality before) allowing
for continued input focus and interaction on all plugin/tool
windows.
- An off-by-one nasty old bug fixed in audio clip drawing, was
causing instant crashes on certain zoom levels of the main
track view.
- Graphical MIDI clip representation regarding note/pitch range is
now kept as much as possible across clip edits (cut, copy, paste,
drag, move, delete, etc.)
- LV2 plug-in hosting has finally come into actual implementation;
only some and the most basic LV2 plug-in features are supported
at the moment; probably there's no big advantage against the old
LADSPA ones; there's some support for external UIs though; also,
LV2 MIDI/Event bare-bones support is included but chances are it
won't build nor work right on most of the setups out there. It's
a WIP host implementation anyways, as is the whole LV2 spec. for
that matter ;)
- Connections filter is now reset when widget is shown through the
View/Connections main menu or toolbar button.
- Audio bus auto-connection option is now applied when creating or
updating, newer or existing buses, respectively.
- Global configuration state is now explicitly saved/committed to
disk whenever View/Options... dialog changes are applied or when
a session is loaded or saved.
- Audio ramping spin-locking makes its smooth stuff, in an attempt
to reduce glitching and crackling when editing (due to its own
pseudo spin-locking) and toggling playback states.
- JACK Transport, MMC Device, and MIDI Song Position pointer (SPP)
control modes are now made optional (View/Options...), allowing
for discretionary configuration: None/Disabled, Slave/Input,
Master/Output or Full/Duplex (default).
- Session files may now be dragged and dropped over the main track
view and get loaded for business as usual (once quietly ignored).
- In an attempt to mitigate potential stack corruption and sudden
crashes, old commented out session pseudo-locks are now back in
business while executing clip editing commands (cut, paste, drag,
move, insert, delete) and playback is currently rolling.
- Adjusted first-time application window size to fit into 800x600
screen size and with reasonable initial dockables layout.
- Avoid duplicate snap-to-grid effect when changing the length of
MIDI clip editor events across non-zero clip offsets (after a
glitch reported by Ralf Mardorf).
- Late audio track processing optimization, suppressing all plugin,
mixer and monitor pass-through activity when given track is muted,
either explicitly or implicitly (ie. other track is in solo state).
- Entering System Exclusive events (SysEx) on the MIDI clip editor
(aka matrix/piano-roll widget), yet something not fully supported
anyway, even though allowed in edit mode, doesn't crash the whole
damn thing anymore, while saving the clip to a file.
- Strict aliasing avoidance, with plain and demanded use of 'union',
as much as to stop nagging warnings from gcc >= 4.4.1 (last seen
on src/qtractorMidiEvent.h hackery).
- Visual correct play-head position while changing zoom levels,
applicable to both main track and MIDI clip editor views.

* External preset files are not removed nor deleted from the file-system anymore.
* Connections support for UTF-8 encoded client/port names.
* Force track and clip properties dialog widget to be modal as it should from their beginning dawn.
* Audio effect send/return aux. inserts are implemented as special pseudo-plugins (Plugins/Inserts).
* Reset play-head position on auto-backward and keep playback rolling when continue past end transport option is not set.
* MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll/matrix aditor) gets better on the virtual piano keyboard eye-candy side of things ;).
* Plugins are now also referenced by label, avoiding plugin index clash/misses eg. when plugin object file/path changes or is moved externally.
* Keyboard focus is now cleared/reset from the main toolbar time and tempo spin-boxes when editing gets finished (eg. Enter key is pressed).
* First audio metronome beat/bar now played back correctly (fixes bug #2841437).
* Client to/from port (dis)connections now found consistent as good ol'QjackCtl behavior (fixes bug #2834657).
* All dirty open MIDI clip editors are now prompted to save before the main application closes (fixes bug #2835516).
* Mixer level meters get their long deserved gradient look.
* Fixed any ghost clip selections that were haunting the main track view, specially after undo/redo.
* Increased tolerance on reading corrupt MIDI files (SMF).
* A MIDI SysEx manager is being finally introduced, in some primordial rather basic form though.
* A default MIDI instrument name may now be assigned to any MIDI output bus (see View/Buses.../MIDI).
* More legacy headers, stdio.h and stdlib.h, are yet again necessary to build with gcc/g++ >= 4.4 (as patch noted by Alexis Ballier on Gentoo bug report #274168, thanks).

* The MIDI clip editor (piano-roll/matrix editor), the main track
view as well, have been subject to usability fixing.
* MIDI tracks channel bank/program and controller stuff are now
only issued when the respective bus connections have changed,
seldom on every playback start.
* MIDI controller mapping infrastructure, with file based
configuration management (see View/Controllers...), is now
in place, following an original contribution from gizzmo aka Mathias Krause.
* Plugin chain buffer reset on playback start/stop is not
guarded by a momentary plugin de/activation anymore.
* Clip export may now be applied to multiple clips, sharing
common refactored code and same semantics as merging of
current selected clips.

synchronization and reliability.
* Clip merge is now featured both for audio and MIDI tracks.

* MIDI editor snap grid lines get slight different color
then regular beat divisions.
* Reset local tempo map cursor on newer MIDI file imports
in a tentative to fix incidental but random crashes.
