File size: 19179 byte(s)
* bugfix: avoid calling read() with count 0 when writing a file, as
  this may hang on some systems

1 Version CVS HEAD (?)
2 * SoundFont file format
3 - initial implementation
4 - changed region lookup API to avoid malloc in RT threads
5
6 * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
7 - bugfix: avoid calling read() with count 0 when writing a file,
8 as this may hang on some systems
9
10 Version 3.3.0 (30 Jul 2009)
11
12 * general changes:
13 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
14 - fixes for building with Visual C++
15 - minor fix in configure for building DLL on Windows
16
17 * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
18 - added partial support for MIDI rules, only the Controller
19 Triggered rule is supported so far
20 - bugfix: removed another iterator invalidation in DeleteSample
21 - bugfix in Sample::LoadSampleData*(): reset sample read position to
22 sample start before trying to (re)load sample data from file (#82)
23 - bugfix: EG3 depth parameter was not saved correctly
24 - fixed crash which occured when streaming a gig sample with
25 bi-directional (a.k.a. 'pingpong') loop type (fixes #102)
26
27 * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
28 - bugfix: saving to the same file after the file size had been
29 increased made the file corrupt (#82)
30 - bugfix: refuse Chunk::Read() in case chunk has just been added, that
31 is not written physically yet (#82)
32 - bugfix: saving to the same file after the file size had been
33 decreased sometimes also made the file corrupt!
34 - bugfix: undefined behavior (e.g. endless loop) when opening zero
35 length files, now throws a RIFF::Exception instead (fixes bug #121)
36 - bugfix: destructor for base class RIFF::Chunk accessed members
37 of derived class RIFF::File, which is bad, and caused crashes
38 when using Visual C++
39 - bugfix: files that contain zero length RIFF lists were not read
40 correctly (fixes #127) (bug was introduced 2009-03-13)
41
42 Version 3.2.1 (5 Dec 2007)
43
44 * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
45 - avoid Windows to perform unnecessary file stream caching which would
46 decrease disk streaming performance on Windows systems otherwise
47
48 * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
49 - added File::SetAutoLoad() and File::GetAutoLoad() for allowing
50 applications to retrieve very superficial informations like amount of
51 instruments and their names in a very fast way
52
53 Version 3.2.0 (14 Oct 2007)
54
55 * packaging changes:
56 - added Mac OSX XCode project files (patch by Toshi Nagata)
57 - Dev-C++ (win32) project file is automatically updated with

64 - fixed write support for big-endian systems
65 - improved handling of fixed length info strings - separate default
66 lengths can be specified for each INFO chunk
67 - added Resource::GenerateDLSID function
68 - write support fix: allow regions without mapped samples
69 - added method SetKeyRange() to the Region class which should be used

76 - fixed segmentation fault in the gig::File destructor sequence which
77 happened when gig::Group informations were accessed before
78 - fixed write support for big-endian systems
79 - defined lengths of a fixed set of info strings. These strings
80 are saved when the file is written, even if they are empty.
81 - added missing parameter initalizations in sample, region and
82 instrument constructors
83 - clear unused fields when saving samples and regions
84 - fixed write support bugs: v3 dimension limits and chunksize
85 weren't saved, leverage controller of type controlchange
86 couldn't be saved, group name list chunk was placed wrong,
87 dimension region chunks also placed wrong
88 - added initialization of some fixed info strings in file and
89 instrument
90 - write support: files created by libgig will now have the RIFF
91 chunks in correct order
92 - write support: two previously unknown fields in dimension
93 definition are now saved
94 - added constants for gig file versions

97 einf contains file statistics)
98 - write support: DLSID is now generated on the file and the
99 instruments
100 - write support: improved the default values for dimension region
101 parameters
102 - more write support fixes: crossfade parameters were not saved,
103 v3 dimension limits were not correctly initialized and saved
104 when dimensions were added or deleted, v3 wave pool offsets were
105 not saved correctly
106 - write support: 24 bit samples can now be written
107 - write support: version 3 is now the default for new files
108 - more write support fixes: the 3ewg chunk is now bigger for v3,
109 dimension regions without mapped samples are now allowed, 3gnl
110 list in v3 files now always has 128 entries, several parameters
111 where incorrectly saved due to an operator precedence mistake
112 - DeleteSample now removes all references to the deleted sample
113 - AddDimension now copies all parameters from existing dimension
114 regions and also makes sure that the samplechannel dimension is
115 placed first in the list of dimensions.
116 - added method GetParent() to class 'DimensionRegion', which returns its
117 parent Region
118 - fixed Instrument::UpdateRegionKeyTable() method which did not reset
119 unused areas
120 - added various setter methods to DimensionRegion class which take care
121 of updating lookup tables / caches.
122

138 - custom velocity splits now works for gig v3 files too
139 - added support for custom splits points for other dimensions than
140 velocity (gig v3 feature)
141 - added "smart midi" and "round robin keyboard" dimensions
142 - added new method File::DeleteGroupOnly() which only deletes the given
143 group but moves all its members to another group, the other method,
144 that is File::DeleteGroup() now removes not just the group, but also
145 all the samples that belong to that group
146 - fixed crash which occured on interfering File::DeleteSample() and
147 File::GetNextSample() calls (due to iterator invalidation)
148 - fixed group names which were not saved
149 - fixed group destructor which did not remove the RIFF chunk associated
150 with the group
151 - added Instrument::MoveRegion method
152 - fixed constructor for Region, which did not initialize correctly
153 when used from Instrument::AddRegion
154 - when saving, override the gig::Regions sample reference simply by
155 the region's first dimension region's sample (avoids an exception
156 when trying to save a new instrument)
157 - fixed AddDimension() method which did not fill out all mandatory
158 dimension definition fields
159
160 * src/DLS.cpp, src/DLS.h:
161 - added Instrument::MoveRegion method

164
165 * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:

293 articulation informations are ignored at the moment
294 (patch by Andreas Persson)
295 - added some file format compatibility checks
296 - fixed vcf_type_lowpassturbo value (vcf_type_lowpassturbo was actually

346
347 * packaging changes:
348 - renamed 'libgig.pc.in' -> 'gig.pc.in' and renamed pkg-config lib name
349 'libgig' -> 'gig' as it's common practice to omit the 'lib' prefix
350 - fixed man pages automake install rule (which didn't work on Mandrake,
351 SuSE and Fedora)
352 - fixed generation of Doxygen API documentation (now also included in
353 RPM and Debian packages)
354
355 * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
356 - fixed / improved accuracy of all three velocity to volume
357 transformation functions a.k.a. 'nonlinear','linear','special'
358 (patch by Andreas Persson)
359 - denormals are filtered from the velocity to volume tables
360 - bugfix for dimension region switching (wrong handling of the release

383 - added libgig.spec and libgig.pc package configurations for generating
384 Redhat packages
385 - header files included on installation.
386 - autotools-generated files removed from CVS repository.
387 - added support for generating Debian packages
388 - version of shared library can be set in configure.in
389
390 Version 0.7.0 (3 May 2004)
391
392 * general changes:
393 - various big endian specific corrections
394 (successfully tested now on PPC)
395 - minor adjustments to avoid compile errors on some systems
396 (using now pow() instead of powl() and --pedantic g++ compiler switch)
397 - libtoolized the library
398 - added man pages for the command line tools
399 (gigextract, gigdump, dlsdump, rifftree)
400
401 * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
402 - fixed bug in decompression algorithm which caused it not to detect
403 the end of a stream
404 - added method GetVelocityAttenuation() to class 'DimensionRegion' which
405 takes the MIDI key velocity value as an argument and returns the
406 appropriate volume factor (0.0 ... 1.0) for the sample to be played
407 back, the velocity curve transformation functions used for this are
408 only an approximation so far
409 - fixed class attributes 'Sample::LoopStart', 'Sample::LoopEnd' and
410 'Sample::LoopSize' which reflected wrong values
411 - class attributes 'Sample::LoopStart' and 'Sample::LoopEnd' are now
412 measured in sample points instead of byte offset
413 - renamed misleading attribute name 'Sample::MIDIPitchFraction' to
414 'Sample::FineTune'
415 - added class attribute 'Sample::LoopSize'
416 - added method GetInstrument(uint index) to class 'File'
417 - added ReadAndLoop() method to class 'Sample' which is an extension to
418 the normal Read() method to honor the sample's looping information
419 while streaming from disk
420 - changed interface for 'attenuation_ctrl_t', 'eg1_ctrl_t' and
421 'eg2_ctrl_t': replaced this huge enumeration by a structure which
422 reflects the MIDI controller number in case of an ordinary control
423 change controller (this saves a huge switch-case block in the
424 application of the library user)
425 - renamed following attributes in class 'DimensionRegion':
426 'AttenuationContol' -> 'AttenuationController',
427 'InvertAttenuationControl' -> 'InvertAttenuationController',
428 'AttenuationControlTreshold' -> 'AttenuationControllerThreshold'
429 - minor fix in API documentation for method GetVelocityAttenuation() in
430 class 'DimensionRegion'
431
432 * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
433 - added additional API documentation
434 - minor fix in Chunk::Read() method (only a minor efficiency issue)
435
436 * src/gigdump.cpp:
437 - added printout of samples' looping informations
438
439 Version 0.6.0 (3 Nov 2003)
440
441 * initial release
