* Instruments DB on Windows gets automatically created if not present

1 schoenebeck 1599 Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3 schoenebeck 1639 * packaging changes:
4     - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
5     causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
6     "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
7     (patch by Alexis Ballier)
8 persson 1713 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
9 persson 1792 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
10 persson 1794 - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
11 persson 1808 - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
12     - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
13 persson 1842 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
14 persson 1895 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
15 persson 1897 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
16     directory of liblinuxsampler dll
17 persson 1899 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
18 schoenebeck 1639
19 schoenebeck 1601 * general changes:
20     - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
21     load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
22     (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
23 schoenebeck 1602 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
24     plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
25 persson 1644 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
26     - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
27     unnecessarily long after an update
28 schoenebeck 1653 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
29     events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
30     of gigedit)
31 schoenebeck 1659 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
32 schoenebeck 1653 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
33 schoenebeck 1681 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
34     is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
35     implementation, which is usually faster)
36 persson 1748 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
37 persson 1777 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
38     VST plugin
39 iliev 1789 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
40     only when there are actual changes
41 persson 1790 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
42     multi-core and multi-cpu systems
43 schoenebeck 1800 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
44 persson 1825 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
45 schoenebeck 1830 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
46     be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
47     stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
48 schoenebeck 1868 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
49     a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
50 schoenebeck 1876 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
51     liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
52     InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
53     InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
54 persson 1887 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
55     model more strictly
56 persson 1895 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
57 schoenebeck 1601
58 schoenebeck 1599 * audio driver:
59     - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
60     max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
61 schoenebeck 1604 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
62     opposed to the LSCP specs
63 schoenebeck 1607 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
64     reflected the wrong value
65 persson 1644 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
66 persson 1748 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
67 persson 1777 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
68 persson 1748 jack_client_new
69 iliev 1829 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
70 persson 1888 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
71     previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
72     (fixes #117)
73 persson 1889 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
74     win64)
75 persson 1895 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
76     - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
77 persson 1908 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
78     - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
79     energyXT)
80 schoenebeck 1599
81 persson 1651 * MIDI driver:
82     - added JACK MIDI driver
83 schoenebeck 1715 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
84     want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
85     input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
86 persson 1889 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
87 persson 1887 CoreMidi or AU
88 persson 1889 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
89 persson 1651
90 schoenebeck 1604 * instruments database:
91 iliev 1603 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
92     to the instruments database
93 iliev 1727 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
94 iliev 1781 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
95     in the instruments database
96     (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
97 persson 1908 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
98     instrument database compilable
99 senoner 1910 - added instrument database support on Windows
100 senoner 1911 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
101     the instruments DB file is located in
102     %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
103     databases for each windows user
104 senoner 1912 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
105     and then creates an empty DB
106 iliev 1603
107 persson 1644 * Gigasampler format engine:
108     - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
109     while notes were playing
110 persson 1646 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
111     isn't running
112 persson 1701 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
113     enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
114 schoenebeck 1715 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
115     respective FX send MIDI controller was used
116 schoenebeck 1724 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
117 schoenebeck 1762 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
118     whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
119     connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
120     on)
121 persson 1748 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
122     sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
123     be played
124 schoenebeck 1750 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
125     which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
126     drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
127     part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
128     LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
129     defined for the sampler
130 persson 1764 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
131     audio thread isn't running
132 persson 1844 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
133 schoenebeck 1852 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
134     un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
135     sampler engine anymore
136     - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
137     e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
138 schoenebeck 1857 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
139     same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
140     same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
141 persson 1858 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
142     instrument-level gig parameters
143     - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
144 schoenebeck 1860 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
145 persson 1862 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
146     - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
147 persson 1906 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
148     note was silent
149 persson 1644
150 schoenebeck 1687 * LSCP server:
151     - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
152     react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
153     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
154 schoenebeck 1695 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
155     react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
156     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
157 iliev 1727 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
158     SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
159 iliev 1771 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
160     frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
161     - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
162     KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
163 iliev 1754 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
164     was incorrect
165 iliev 1763 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
166 schoenebeck 1800 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
167     amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
168     be triggered respectively
169     - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
170     amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
171     which will be triggered respectively
172 persson 1808 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
173     a gigedit file dialog is opened)
174 iliev 1848 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
175 iliev 1882 - hard close of all sockets on exit
176 persson 1897 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
177     driver
178 schoenebeck 1687
179 iliev 1761 * Bug fixes:
180     - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
181     to start instrument loading after another channel
182 iliev 1826 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
183     instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
184 iliev 1827 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
185     instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
186 iliev 1835 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
187     - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
188     GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
189     GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
190     GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
191     GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
192     - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
193 iliev 1843 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
194 iliev 1847 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
195     channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
196 iliev 1855 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
197 persson 1870 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
198     PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
199 persson 1889 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
200     plugin was unloaded
201 persson 1896 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
202     problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
203 iliev 1761
204    
205 schoenebeck 1560 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
206 schoenebeck 1454
207     * packaging changes:
208     - added autoconf checks for pthread library
209     - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
210     glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
211 senoner 1502 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
212 schoenebeck 1454
213 persson 1455 * general changes:
214     - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
215     editor closed
216 persson 1534 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
217     out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
218     decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
219     order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
220     - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
221     GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
222     the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
223     bugs.
224     - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
225     24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
226     endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
227     unaligned 32bit read and shift
228     - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
229     output via ASIO)
230     - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
231 iliev 1541 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
232     (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
233     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
234 persson 1455
235 senoner 1500 * AUDIO driver:
236 persson 1534 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
237 senoner 1500
238 senoner 1485 * MIDI driver:
239 schoenebeck 1495 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
240 senoner 1485
241 schoenebeck 1471 * LSCP server:
242     - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
243     forward slash path separators instead of backslash
244     (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
245 schoenebeck 1495 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
246     apostrophes as well
247 schoenebeck 1525 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
248     "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
249     "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
250     about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
251     running on
252 schoenebeck 1471
253 schoenebeck 1424 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
254 schoenebeck 947
255 schoenebeck 1065 * packaging changes:
256 schoenebeck 1212 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
257     API header files anymore
258 schoenebeck 1065 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
259     the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
260 schoenebeck 1175 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
261     capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
262     to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
263     OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
264 schoenebeck 1360 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
265     parameters
266 schoenebeck 1424 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
267     C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
268     are now in global_private.h
269     - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
270     - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
271     - fixed warnings in API doc generation
272 schoenebeck 1065
273 schoenebeck 947 * general changes:
274     - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
275     flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
276 schoenebeck 973 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
277 schoenebeck 947 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
278     loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
279     messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
280     strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
281     instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
282     quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
283     respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
284     global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
285     dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
286 schoenebeck 973 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
287     MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
288     a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
289     drumkits is possible
290 iliev 1108 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
291     MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
292 schoenebeck 990 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
293     due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
294     dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
295 schoenebeck 1001 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
296     output channels for being processed by external effect processors
297     (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
298     controllers
299 schoenebeck 1005 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
300 iliev 1130 - Implemented new, improved notification system
301 schoenebeck 1149 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
302     (patch by Toshi Nagata)
303 iliev 1161 - implemented instruments database
304 iliev 1345 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
305 schoenebeck 1212 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
306     within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
307     you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
308 schoenebeck 1407 startup, added a new LSCP command:
309     "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
310 schoenebeck 1212 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
311     given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
312     time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
313 schoenebeck 1321 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
314     in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
315     without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
316     wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
317 schoenebeck 1221 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
318     policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
319     thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
320     threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
321     setting their own policy and priority
322 schoenebeck 1233 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
323     main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
324     its output
325 persson 1248 - fixed some minor memory leaks
326 schoenebeck 1259 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
327     enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
328 schoenebeck 1314 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
329     register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
330 schoenebeck 1424 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
331 schoenebeck 947
332     * MIDI driver:
333     - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
334    
335 schoenebeck 1049 * audio driver:
336     - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
337     parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
338     (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
339    
340 persson 951 * Gigasampler format engine:
341     - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
342     die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
343     voice starvation for some gigs)
344 persson 1038 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
345     - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
346     playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
347     command
348 persson 1039 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
349 schoenebeck 1041 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
350 persson 1046 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
351     above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
352     even if sustain is 100%
353 persson 1147 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
354     noises or crashes
355 schoenebeck 1149 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
356 schoenebeck 1181 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
357     supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
358 schoenebeck 1321 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
359     instead of a fix value
360 schoenebeck 1348 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
361     127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
362     changed
363 persson 951
364 schoenebeck 1244 * LSCP server:
365     - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
366     (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
367 schoenebeck 1245 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
368     (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
369     - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
370     sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
371     \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
372     code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
373 schoenebeck 1389 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
374     least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
375     "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
376     "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
377     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
378     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
379     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
380     "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
381 schoenebeck 1252 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
382     occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
383     character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
384 persson 1349 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
385     settings
386 schoenebeck 1379 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
387     of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
388     (fixes #57)
389 schoenebeck 1244
390 iliev 959 * Bug fixes:
391     - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
392 persson 1038 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
393     channel audio output device"
394 iliev 1283 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
395     on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
396 iliev 1295 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
397     device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
398     to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
399 iliev 1296 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
400     the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
401     unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
402 iliev 1297 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
403 iliev 1298 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
404     channel changes
405 iliev 1305 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
406     audio output channels and MIDI input ports
407 iliev 1306 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
408     an audio output device
409 schoenebeck 1332 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
410 iliev 959
411 schoenebeck 1221 * test cases:
412     - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
413    
414 schoenebeck 937 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
415 persson 696
416 schoenebeck 697 * packaging changes:
417 capela 868 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
418     to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
419     to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
420 schoenebeck 697 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
421     applications to link against liblinuxsampler
422     - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
423     (Doxygen required)
424 schoenebeck 715 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
425     implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
426     di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
427     with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
428     configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
429 schoenebeck 829 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
430     provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
431 schoenebeck 849 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
432     messages
433 schoenebeck 852 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
434     MIDI drivers
435 schoenebeck 909 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
436     (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
437 schoenebeck 697
438 persson 696 * Gigasampler format engine:
439 schoenebeck 738 - extensive synthesis optimization
440     (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
441     prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
442     each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
443 persson 830 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
444     linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
445     --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
446 persson 696 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
447 persson 729 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
448     following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
449     controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
450 persson 791 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
451     cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
452 persson 877 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
453 schoenebeck 775 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
454 schoenebeck 781 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
455     which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
456 persson 783 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
457     accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
458 persson 797 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
459     time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
460 persson 799 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
461 schoenebeck 829 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
462     - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
463     all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
464     altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
465     mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
466 persson 832 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
467     parameter) and crossfade
468 persson 831 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
469     parameter
470 persson 832 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
471     messages
472 persson 865 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
473     instead of the wave chunk
474     - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
475     not equal to a power of two
476 persson 877 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
477     accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
478     and lowpass turbo.
479 persson 903 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
480     16 bits anymore
481     - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
482     aftertouch)
483 persson 922 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
484     amplifying from 0)
485 persson 696
486 schoenebeck 711 * LSCP server:
487     - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
488 iliev 793 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
489     network activity (fixes bug #26)
490 schoenebeck 826 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
491     (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
492 schoenebeck 711
493 schoenebeck 838 * audio driver:
494     - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
495    
496 schoenebeck 775 * MIDI driver:
497     - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
498     messages several times instead of once
499 schoenebeck 906 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
500     for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
501 persson 922 - added checks for bad MIDI data
502 schoenebeck 775
503 schoenebeck 900 * linuxsampler application:
504     - show available sampler engine types on startup
505    
506 schoenebeck 705 * general changes:
507     - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
508     LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
509     fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
510     introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
511 iliev 716 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
512     --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
513     processing of muted channels.
514 iliev 777 - support for sostenuto pedal
515 iliev 779 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
516 iliev 778 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
517     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
518 persson 835 - fixed some memory management errors
519 persson 841 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
520     LSCP commands were executed
521 schoenebeck 925 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
522     sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
523 schoenebeck 705
524 schoenebeck 692 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
525 schoenebeck 686
526     * packaging changes:
527     - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
528    
529 schoenebeck 687 * Gigasampler format engine:
530     - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
531     disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
532 schoenebeck 688 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
533     for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
534     stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
535     about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
536     appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
537 schoenebeck 687
538 schoenebeck 677 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
539 schoenebeck 609
540     * packaging changes:
541     - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
542     (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
543 schoenebeck 617 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
544     './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
545 schoenebeck 654 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
546     - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
547     (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
548 schoenebeck 649
549     * Gigasampler format engine:
550     - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
551     - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
552     - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
553     note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
554     note-off velocity.
555 schoenebeck 663 - revised voice stealing
556     (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
557 schoenebeck 659 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
558 schoenebeck 668 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
559     instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
560     (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
561     this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
562 schoenebeck 669 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
563     (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
564     resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
565 schoenebeck 670 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
566     instrument or audio output device change
567 schoenebeck 654
568 schoenebeck 620 * LSCP server:
569 schoenebeck 654 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
570 schoenebeck 660 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
571 schoenebeck 670 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
572 schoenebeck 609
573 schoenebeck 668 * linuxsampler application:
574     - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
575     default IP address and port of LSCP server
576    
577 schoenebeck 579 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
578    
579     * initial release
