Description:
 QSynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application
written in C++ around the Qt4 toolkit using Qt
Designer. Eventually it may evolve into a
softsynth management application allowing the user
to control and manage a variety of command line
softsynth but for the moment it wraps the
excellent FluidSynth. FluidSynth is a command line
software synthesiser based on the Soundfont
specification.

Changelog:
 0.3.1   2007-07-16  Shallowed bug-fix release.

- 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).


0.3.0   2007-07-03  Qt4 migration was complete.

- 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.


0.2.6   2007-04-14  Nitpicking season closed :)

- 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-incrementing 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.
