User-visible changes between 2.4 and 2.5 include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Autotools. This should make life easier for distributors. ;-)
|
||||
|
||||
User-visible changes between 2.3 and 2.4 include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Keyboard layout switching. Now you can specify "-l QWERTZ"
|
||||
or "-l AZERTY" and keyboard layout will be (hopefully) usable.
|
||||
|
||||
- Implement output rate limiting; specifying "-r 31.25" in a command
|
||||
line will limit jack-keyboard to the rate mandated by the MIDI
|
||||
specification.
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove the "-n" option; not connecting to the MIDI port at startup
|
||||
is the default behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
- Start jackd automatically, even when not compiled against LASH.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix "make install" on systems without /usr/local/share/icons/hicolor.
|
||||
|
||||
User-visible changes between 2.2 and 2.3 include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix "make install" on systems without /usr/local/bin.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix crash with jackdmp, reported and tested by Juuso Alasuutari.
|
||||
|
||||
- Make it possible to switch between windows using Alt-Tab
|
||||
when the keyboard is grabbed.
|
||||
|
||||
User-visible changes between 2.1 and 2.2 include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add 4 to "Octave". What that means is, C4 is in octave #4,
|
||||
not #0.
|
||||
|
||||
- Icon ;-)
|
||||
|
||||
- Documentation updates.
|
||||
|
||||
User-visible changes between 2.0 and 2.1 include:
|
||||
|
||||
- It's possible to change "high" and "low" velocity. To change
|
||||
the former, press and hold Shift key and move slider. To change
|
||||
the latter, do the same with Ctrl key.
|
||||
|
||||
Moving the slider without Ctrl or Shift held changes "normal"
|
||||
velocity.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix ugly memory corruption that could cause strange behaviour
|
||||
(including crashes) in pianola mode.
|
||||
|
||||
User-visible changes between 1.8 and 2.0 include:
|
||||
|
||||
- GUI; now jack-keyboard should be more intuitive. It can be turned
|
||||
off using -G option.
|
||||
|
||||
- Support keyboard grabbing - with the -K option, jack-keyboard
|
||||
will get all the keyboard input, even when it does not have focus.
|
||||
In other words, you can play while mousing in different program
|
||||
(synth, for example) at the same time.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this will not work if another application grabs
|
||||
the keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
- LASH support.
|
||||
|
||||
- Install ".desktop" file.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.7 and 1.8:
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix compilation with SVN version of JACK.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.6 and 1.7:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add "keyboard cue" to show you which part of virtual keyboard your
|
||||
PC keyboard keys are currently mapped to. It looks a little ugly,
|
||||
so it's disabled by default; you can enable it using "-C" option.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add an "-u" option to automatically send bank/program change messages
|
||||
after reconnecting
|
||||
|
||||
- Warn when bank/program shown in title bar could be different than the
|
||||
one used by the synth
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix setting bank/program from the command line
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.5 and 1.6:
|
||||
|
||||
- Send messages with proper time offsets. If you don't like this,
|
||||
you can make jack-keyboard behave same as before by using -t option
|
||||
|
||||
- Implement MIDI channel switching (submitted by Nedko Arnaudov)
|
||||
|
||||
- Make it possible to enter bank/program number directly using keypad
|
||||
|
||||
- Make bank switching actually work
|
||||
|
||||
- Don't crash when clicking _and_ releasing mouse button on the gray area
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.4 and 1.5:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add "pianola mode" - jack-keyboard now has a MIDI input port; events received
|
||||
on this port will change the visible state of keyboard - basically, you will
|
||||
see the notes played. Note that, by default, jack-keyboard will refuse to
|
||||
connect to other clients named 'jack-keyboard'; this is to prevent loops.
|
||||
|
||||
- Make panic key more reliable
|
||||
|
||||
- Numeric keys (top row on the alphanumeric keyboard) pressed with Shift held
|
||||
should work correctly now
|
||||
|
||||
- Threading fixes - if jack-keyboard behaved in unpredictable way, it should
|
||||
be fixed now
|
||||
|
||||
- Add manual page
|
||||
|
||||
- Add 'install' Makefile target ;-)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.3 and 1.4:
|
||||
|
||||
- Don't stop the notes when moving mouse outside of the window (suggested by ctaf @ #lad)
|
||||
|
||||
- Show some useful information in the window title
|
||||
|
||||
- Rewrite MIDI input switching to make it more robust
|
||||
|
||||
- Remove the command line MIDI port selection. Just use Insert/Delete keys to cycle to the
|
||||
port you need
|
||||
|
||||
- Don't refuse to start when there are no MIDI input ports to connect to (suggested by Nedko Arnaudov)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.2 and 1.3:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use the ringbuffer instead of old 'table of notes'. Now the notes won't
|
||||
get lost even under high CPU load
|
||||
|
||||
- Add 'panic key', under 'Esc' key, that stops all sounds
|
||||
|
||||
- Add Bank Change (Home/End)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.1 and 1.2:
|
||||
|
||||
- Make it possible to run several instances of jack-keyboard at the same time
|
||||
|
||||
- Add the ability to switch MIDI inputs at runtime (Insert/Delete keys)
|
||||
|
||||
- Warn about JACK timing problems
|
||||
|
||||
- Minor display optimization
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix crash after pressing highest (#127) note
|
||||
|
||||
Changes between 1.0 and 1.1:
|
||||
|
||||
- Speed up redrawing
|
||||
|
||||
- Add MIDI port selection ("jack-keyboard 3" will connect to fourth available
|
||||
JACK MIDI input port)
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix sustain key (space)
