* NKSP parser: fix empty scripts to be accepted as valid scripts as well (i.e. fix them having caused a syntax error).
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn4).
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
* VM C++ API: rename VMDeploymentCase -> VMDeploymentCase_t (and add deprecated alias for backward compatibility).
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
* VM C++ API: ParserIssue::dump(): append diagnostic type (in brackets) as string to output of warning/error message.
* VM C++ API: const-ify ParserIssue::dump() and move implementation from header to unit.
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
NKSP: allow promoting parser warnings to errors
* Replace C++ API method ScriptVM::setWarningEnabled() by ScriptVM::setDiagnostic() which now allows to configure a parser issue to be treated either as warning, error or suppressed.
* Replace C++ API method ScriptVM::isWarningEnabled() by ScriptVM::getDiagnostic().
* Add C++ API method ScriptVM::getDiagnosticDefault() which returns the default treatment of a particular parser issue.
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn3).
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
NKSP: make parser warnings configurable
* Add numeric list of diagnostic types (enum VMDiagnosticType_t) and associate each identified NKSP parser warning message with one of the numeric diagnostic types.
* Add C++ API methods ScriptVM::setWarningEnabled() and ScriptVM::isWarningEnabled() which can be used to enable or disable individual NKSP parser warning types and retrieving whether they are currently enabled.
* Add C++ API functions allDiagnosticTypes(), diagnosticTypeStr() and diagnosticType() which can be used by third-party apps to retrieve all available NKSP diagnostic flags, both as numeric values and string presentation, and for converting between numeric and string presentation.
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn2).
2026-01-17 schoenebeck
Revise build of auto generated source files (regression fix of SVN r4164).
* Split auto generation of 1) LSCP parser source files, 2) updating LSCP reference documentation's grammar section (Documentation/lscp.xml) and 3) auto generation of liblinuxsampler's built-in LSCP reference documentation, into 3 separate build tasks (instead of regenerating all of them always together).
* Fix build concurrency issue when running parallel builds (make -j) that caused crippled auto generated source files: prevent parallel run of tasks that auto generate source files, and fix those targets to not run more than once.
* Only update Documentation/lscp.xml (its grammar section that is) if src/network/lscp.y has been changed.
* Only regenerate src/network/lscp_shell_reference.cpp if Documentation/lscp.xml has been changed.
2026-01-17 schoenebeck
* configure: check for required Perl module XML::Parser.
2026-01-17 schoenebeck
* NKSP tests: split giant src/scriptvm/tests/NKSPCoreLangTest.cpp into multiple source files.

2026-03-08 schoenebeck
* MacroEditor: fix vertical margin of intro label.
2026-03-08 schoenebeck
* MacroSetup: fix vertical margin of intro label.
2026-03-08 schoenebeck
* MacrosSetup: implement double click on table enry to open the macro editor for the double clicked macro (use GETreeView instead of stock Gtk::TreeView to make this possible).
2026-03-08 schoenebeck
* ManagedWindow: clamp window position to screen boundaries when auto restoring saved previous window position (to prevent window to appear on either an invisible position or where it's barely impossible to move the window back on screen by mouse).
* ManagedDialog: clamp dialog position to parent window monitor's dimensions (i.e. force the dialog to appear on same monitor on a multi-display setup, as some systems like macOS won't allow a dialog to appear on another monitor than its parent window, causing the dialog to vanish).
2026-03-08 schoenebeck
* ManagedDialog: force dialog to be always relative to its parent window (fixes issues on multi-display systems, e.g. on macOS, where a dialog position on another display than its parent window is considered an illegal position, causing the dialog to become invisible).
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn9).
2026-02-25 schoenebeck
src/gigedit/compat.cpp: fix regression introduced by SVN r4543
* Fix crash with Gtk 2 (Gtk >= 3 were unaffected) on app startup due to NULL pointer dereference.
2026-02-23 schoenebeck
* MainWindow: adjust double-click behaviour on instruments in tree view: fast double-click on scripts count column opens the script slots dialog for the selected instrument, otherwise (including Enter key stroke) instrument properties dialog is opened. Slow double-click (and Space key stroke) renames the selected instrument.
2026-02-23 schoenebeck
* MainWindow: adjust double-click behaviour on samples in tree view: fast double-click on sample references column opens the sample references dialog, otherwise (including Enter key stroke) sample properties dialog is opened. Slow double-click (and Space key stroke) renames the selected sample.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn8).
2026-02-22 schoenebeck
Introduce "GETreeView" class (derived from Gtk::TreeView)
* GETreeView: introduce new GETreeView class which fixes the following issues of stock Gtk::TreeView class: fix fast double clicks to trigger signal_row_actived() instead of starting to edit cell, fix very slow double clicks not starting to edit cell, fix Enter and Return keyboard strokes to trigger signal_row_actived() instead of starting to edit cell.
* MainWindow: use the new GETreeView class for scripts, which fixes the following misbehaviours: fast double clicking a script in the tree view now opens the code editor (instead of renaming the script), slow double click starts to rename the script, very slow double click is ignored (instead of renaming the script), hitting Enter or Return on the keyboard opens the code editor (instead of renaming the script) and Space key still issues renaming the script.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn7).
2026-02-21 schoenebeck
* MainWindow: allow overriding Gtk theme name via new menu "View" -> "Theme".
* MainWindow: allow overriding Dark Mode via new menu "View" -> "Colors".
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn6).
2026-02-20 schoenebeck
* Dark Mode: fix text colors of dimension manager.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn5).
2026-02-20 schoenebeck
Region Chooser: implement individual multi-selection of regions
* Implement individual region multi-selection (sparse set) via Ctrl-clicking arbitrary regions.
* Implement consecutive span of region multi-selection via Shift-clicking up to clicked region.
* Implement increasing/decreasing a consecutive span of multi-selected regions via keyboard accelerators Shift-Ctrl-Left and Shift-Ctrl-Right.
* Display the manually selected regions with a slightly different graphical background pattern to make them easily distinguishable from auto-selected regions (e.g. when having checked "All Regions" checkbox instead).
* The multi-selected regions are hereby called "epxanded selection", which will all be target for editor's modifications respectively as well. The first region selected is called the "initial selection" and the latest selected region is called the "primary selection".
* Route keyboard stroke Gdk events from main window to region chooser in order to get aware about Ctrl and Shift key strokes for Ctrl-click and Shift-click actions.
* When clicking on a region, grab the focus from whatever widget is currently focused, and focus an arbitrary checkbox (in this case the "All Regions" checkbox for now) instead. This is a workaround to prevent an issue where keyboard key-up Gdk events were not delivered to the region chooser, which would have caused multi-select actions to never end.
* Prevent double-click on region to fire dimension manager to pop up if either Shift or Ctrl key is currently pressed down, to prevent accidentally getting this popup when still doing multi-selections.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn4).
2026-02-12 schoenebeck
* Script Editor: fine tune preprocessor text color in dark mode.
2026-02-10 schoenebeck
* Script Editor: markup left hand's side line view strip sections in red / yellow color on errors or warnings.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn3).

2026-03-06 schoenebeck
* Serialization: fix order of type and version compatibility checks when syncing objects (type compatibility must be checked before version compatibility).
2026-03-06 schoenebeck
Serialization: fix automatic self-registration of pointer types
* So far pointers did only register themselfes exactly as pointer types, but not as their dereferenced types. This caused an assertion fault if the respective C++ class was used as a strong pointer without manual type registration. Fix this by automatically registering the dereferenced type of the pointer as well.
2026-02-27 schoenebeck
* helper: fix external linkage of helper functions (fixes helper tests from having failed with certain compiler optimization settings on non-Windows systems, as we are poking with defining _WIN32 to test behaviour of helper function on Windows, which fails if the compiler decided to not inline the helper functions).
2026-02-25 schoenebeck
Serialization: fix regression introduced by SVN r4505
* DataType resolver: depending on the underlying system, "int" and "long" types may not been covered by stdint typedefs, which caused an assertion fault on such systems.
2026-02-09 schoenebeck
* Serialization: drop superfluous DataType resolver implementation lines for native types size_t and ssize_t (as these are already handled by the prior typeid comparison checks for other native int/uint types).
2026-02-09 schoenebeck
* Serialization: fix preregistering native C++ object to correct Archive object (fixes SVN r4488).
2026-02-08 schoenebeck
* Serialization: move Serialization implementation specific (not public API) source files into a new subdirectory src/srx/.
* Bump version (4.5.2.svn9).
2026-02-07 schoenebeck
* Serialization: fix unnecessary need of explicit registration of polymorphic C++ classes (by applications) by auto registering those native C++ types earlier.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: fix superfluous commas in JSON array of serialized objects.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: fix superfluous spaces in "id" JSON value strings.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: only encode "version" and "min_version" JSON numbers if those were actually set by serializing application (i.e. if their value being non-zero).
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: don't encode line breaks on JSON array "custom_types", as this array only takes few characters anyway.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: don't encode a "custom_type" JSON array if the respective DataType does not contain any custom type(s).
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
Serialization: fix JSON exception on empty strings
* SrxJSONFormat: fix having not encoded a JSON string for empty strings, which caused an exception on decoder side due to the expected JSON "value" string being missed.
* Tests: Guard this Serialization issue with a test case.
* Tests: print the exception text instead of just silently catching them.
* Bump version (4.5.2.svn8).
