Package: qsynth
Version: 0.2.5-1
Severity: wishlist
There is a new version of qsynth available from
<URL: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net/qsynth-downloads.html >. Please
upgrade the version.
These are the changes documented since version 0.2.5-1.
2007-12-19 - Minor stealth fixes and season greetings.
qsynth-0.3.2.tar.gz
* A new option to start the program minimized when the system tray
icon is enabled, is now available from Setup/Misc/Start minimized
to system tray.
* Regression from QSystemTrayIcon (Qt4 >= 4.2) implementation, at
least on X11 environments: while the main application widget was
minimized to the system-tray, closing any other top-level widget
was causing the immediate and unexpected application shutdown.
* Minor corrections on the output peak meter scale aesthetics.
* Tool/child windows position and size preservation fixed.
* Orphaned MIDI device name no longer mistaken when switching
between MIDI drivers on engine setup.
* A bit more of precision is achieved over the output peak meters.
* Messages line limit was not being checked, now honored.
* Simple as it could ever be, the build executive summary report is
now given on configure.
* Get configure to try and detect the correct qmake location and
insert it the search order, so let the qt4 tools take precedence
when --with-qt option is given and older qt3 ones coexist and are
found located ahead in the PATH.
* The infamous "Keep child windows always on top" global option is
now supposed to behave a little better when disabled, layering
child windows as naturally as far the window manager dictates.
* Inspired on Andreas Persson patch, while on qjackctl-devel, which
made it possible to compile and run with older Qt 4.1, similar
arrangements were carried out on qsynth too, without hesitation.
* Main panel spin-boxes gets accelerated when stressed (Qt >= 4.2).
2007-07-16 - Shallowed bug-fix release.
qsynth-0.3.1.tar.gz
* Now using QSystemTrayIcon class facility if available (Qt4 >= 4.2)
making the system-tray option available on most platforms, notably
on Windows and Mac OS X (EXPERIMENTAL).
* Combo-box setup history has been corrected on restore, which was
discarding the very initial default (factory) contents.
* One programming error has been corrected, which was affecting the
editable preset combo-boxes usability.
* Soundfont context menu is now available again even when the setup
dialog soundfont list is empty.
* About form link is now browseable externally.
* Updated README-OSX (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat again).
2007-07-03 - Qt4 migration was complete.
qsynth-0.3.0.tar.gz
* Qt4 migration has commenced and is now complete. Care must be
taken with this new configuration file and location: this release
starts a new one from scratch and won't reuse any of the previous
existing ones, although cut and paste might help if you know what
you'll be doing :)
* Application icon is now installed to ${prefix}/share/pixmaps;
application desktop entry file is now included in installation;
spec file (RPM) is now a bit more openSUSE compliant; initial
debianization.
* Default font option names were adjusted to "Sans Serif" and
"Monospace", wherever available.
* The "keep child windows always on top" option is not set as
default anymore, because window focus behavior gets tricky on some
desktop environments (eg. Mac OS X, Gnome).
* Autoconf (configure) scripting gets an update.
2007-04-14 - Nitpicking season closed :)
qsynth-0.2.6.tar.gz
* Main panel window now keeps its previous iconic state on system
tray, on application restart (thanks to Chris Cannam for hinting
this one).
* Minor optimization in peak level meters update rate. Alternate but
faster inline lroundf() function implementation is now used.
* Most top-level widgets were missing the normal-widget flag, which
were causing some sticky size behavior on some window managers.
* Messages and channels window captions can now be set smaller as
tool-widgets, in effect when child windows are kept always on top.
* While on the engine setup dialog, the ALSA sequencer client
identifier is now also disabled depending on the MIDI input option
setting.
* Experimental soundfont loader which prevents RAM image duplication
if more than one engine loads the same soundfont file. Server-mode
is now supported on multi-engine configurations by
auto-increnmenting the shell socket listening port (both patches
handed by Dave Searls, thanks).
* Engine name gets through the respective tab title when created.
Fixed engine delete button enabling on the main window.
* Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license, on qsynth.spec
(RPM).
* Added configure support for x86_64 libraries (Pedro
Lopez-Cabanillas).
* GPL address update.
Happy hacking,
