1 schoenebeck 1993 Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3 capela 2174 * plugin changes:
4     - LV2 Persist + Files support (patch by David Robillard)
5    
6 persson 2086 * packaging changes:
7     - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
8 persson 2183 - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
9     - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory

11     doing "make dist"
12     - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
13 persson 2086
14     * general changes:
15 iliev 2012 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
16     the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
17 schoenebeck 2047 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
18     respective profiling code is currently broken
19 schoenebeck 2053 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
20     "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory

24     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
25     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
26     note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
27     the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
28     effect type is)
29     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
30     note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
31     the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
32     effect type is)
33 schoenebeck 2124 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects

167 schoenebeck 1599
168 schoenebeck 1639 * packaging changes:

214 schoenebeck 1830 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
215     be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
216     stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
217 schoenebeck 1868 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
218     a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
219 schoenebeck 1876 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
220     liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
221     InstrumentEditor::Launch(),

233 schoenebeck 1604 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
234     opposed to the LSCP specs
235 schoenebeck 1607 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
236     reflected the wrong value

240 persson 1748 jack_client_new
241 iliev 1829 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
242 persson 1888 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
243     previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
244     (fixes #117)
245 persson 1889 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
246     win64)
247 persson 1895 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
248     - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed

257     AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
258     (if available)
259 persson 1951 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
260     exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
261 schoenebeck 1599
262 persson 1651 * MIDI driver:
263     - added JACK MIDI driver
264 schoenebeck 1715 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously

281 persson 1908 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
282     instrument database compilable
283 schoenebeck 1930 - added instrument database support on Windows
284     works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
285     the instruments DB file is located in
286     %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
287     databases for each windows user
288     if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
289     and then creates an empty DB
290 persson 1943 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
291 iliev 1603
292 persson 1644 * Gigasampler format engine:
293     - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
294     while notes were playing
295 persson 1646 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
296     isn't running
297 persson 1701 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
298     enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
299 schoenebeck 1715 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
300     respective FX send MIDI controller was used
301 schoenebeck 1724 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
302 schoenebeck 1762 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
303     whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
304     connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
305     on)
306 persson 1748 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
307     sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
308     be played
309 schoenebeck 1750 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
310     which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
311     drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
312     part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
313     LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
314     defined for the sampler
315 persson 1764 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
316     audio thread isn't running
317 persson 1844 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)

319     un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
320     sampler engine anymore
321     - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
322     e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
323 schoenebeck 1857 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
324     same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
325     same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
326 persson 1858 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
327     instrument-level gig parameters
328     - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
329 schoenebeck 1860 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
330 persson 1862 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
331     - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
332 persson 1906 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
333     note was silent
334 persson 1923 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
335     same time a new instrument was loading
336 persson 1644
337 schoenebeck 1687 * LSCP server:
338     - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
339     react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
340     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
341 schoenebeck 1695 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
342     react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
343     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
344 iliev 1727 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
345     SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
346 iliev 1771 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
347     frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
348     - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
349     KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
350 iliev 1754 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
351     was incorrect
352 iliev 1763 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
353 schoenebeck 1800 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
354     amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
355     be triggered respectively
356     - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
357     amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
358     which will be triggered respectively
359 persson 1808 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
360     a gigedit file dialog is opened)
361 iliev 1848 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
362 iliev 1882 - hard close of all sockets on exit

385     PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
386 persson 1889 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
387     plugin was unloaded
388 persson 1896 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
389     problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
390 persson 1933 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
391     Windows

393    
394 schoenebeck 1560 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
395 schoenebeck 1454
396     * packaging changes:
397     - added autoconf checks for pthread library
398     - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
399     glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
400 senoner 1502 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
401 schoenebeck 1454
402 persson 1455 * general changes:
403     - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
404     editor closed
405 persson 1534 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
406     out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
407     decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
408     order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
409     - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
410     GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
411     the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
412     bugs.
413     - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
414     24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
415     endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
416     unaligned 32bit read and shift
417     - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
418     output via ASIO)
419     - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
420 iliev 1541 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
421     (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
422     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
423 persson 1455
424 senoner 1500 * AUDIO driver:
425 persson 1534 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
426 senoner 1500
427 senoner 1485 * MIDI driver:
428 schoenebeck 1495 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
429 senoner 1485
430 schoenebeck 1471 * LSCP server:
431     - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
432     forward slash path separators instead of backslash
433     (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
434 schoenebeck 1495 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
435     apostrophes as well
436 schoenebeck 1525 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
437     "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
438     "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
439     about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
440     running on
441 schoenebeck 1471
442 schoenebeck 1424 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
443 schoenebeck 947
444 schoenebeck 1065 * packaging changes:
445 schoenebeck 1212 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
446     API header files anymore
447 schoenebeck 1065 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
448     the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
449 schoenebeck 1175 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
450     capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
451     to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
452     OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
453 schoenebeck 1360 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
454     parameters
455 schoenebeck 1424 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
456     C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
457     are now in global_private.h
458     - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
459     - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
460     - fixed warnings in API doc generation
461 schoenebeck 1065
462 schoenebeck 947 * general changes:
463     - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
464     flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
465 schoenebeck 973 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
466 schoenebeck 947 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
467     loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
468     messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
469     strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
470     instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
471     quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
472     respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
473     global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
474     dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
475 schoenebeck 973 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
476     MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
477     a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
478     drumkits is possible
479 iliev 1108 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
480     MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
481 schoenebeck 990 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
482     due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
483     dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
484 schoenebeck 1001 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
485     output channels for being processed by external effect processors
486     (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
487     controllers
488 schoenebeck 1005 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
489 iliev 1130 - Implemented new, improved notification system
490 schoenebeck 1149 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
491     (patch by Toshi Nagata)
492 iliev 1161 - implemented instruments database
493 iliev 1345 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
494 schoenebeck 1212 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
495     within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
496     you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
497 schoenebeck 1407 startup, added a new LSCP command:
498     "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
499 schoenebeck 1212 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
500     given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
501     time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
502 schoenebeck 1321 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
503     in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
504     without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
505     wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
506 schoenebeck 1221 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
507     policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
508     thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
509     threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
510     setting their own policy and priority
511 schoenebeck 1233 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
512     main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
513     its output
514 persson 1248 - fixed some minor memory leaks
515 schoenebeck 1259 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
516     enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
517 schoenebeck 1314 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
518     register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
519 schoenebeck 1424 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
520 schoenebeck 947
521     * MIDI driver:
522     - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
523    
524 schoenebeck 1049 * audio driver:
525     - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
526     parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
527     (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
528    
529 persson 951 * Gigasampler format engine:
530     - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
531     die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
532     voice starvation for some gigs)
533 persson 1038 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
534     - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
535     playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
536     command
537 persson 1039 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
538 schoenebeck 1041 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
539 persson 1046 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
540     above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
541     even if sustain is 100%
542 persson 1147 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
543     noises or crashes
544 schoenebeck 1149 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
545 schoenebeck 1181 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
546     supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
547 schoenebeck 1321 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
548     instead of a fix value
549 schoenebeck 1348 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
550     127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
551     changed
552 persson 951
553 schoenebeck 1244 * LSCP server:
554     - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
555     (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
556 schoenebeck 1245 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
557     (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
558     - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
559     sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
560     \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
561     code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
562 schoenebeck 1389 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
563     least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
564     "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
565     "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
566     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
567     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
568     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
569     "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
570 schoenebeck 1252 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
571     occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
572     character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
573 persson 1349 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
574     settings
575 schoenebeck 1379 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
576     of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
577     (fixes #57)
578 schoenebeck 1244
579 iliev 959 * Bug fixes:
580     - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
581 persson 1038 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
582     channel audio output device"
583 iliev 1283 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
584     on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
585 iliev 1295 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
586     device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
587     to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
588 iliev 1296 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
589     the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
590     unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
591 iliev 1297 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
592 iliev 1298 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
593     channel changes
594 iliev 1305 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
595     audio output channels and MIDI input ports
596 iliev 1306 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
597     an audio output device
598 schoenebeck 1332 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
599 iliev 959
600 schoenebeck 1221 * test cases:
601     - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
602    
603 schoenebeck 937 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
604 persson 696
605 schoenebeck 697 * packaging changes:
606 capela 868 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
607     to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
608     to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
609 schoenebeck 697 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
610     applications to link against liblinuxsampler
611     - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
612     (Doxygen required)
613 schoenebeck 715 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
614     implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
615     di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
616     with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
617     configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
618 schoenebeck 829 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
619     provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
620 schoenebeck 849 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
621     messages
622 schoenebeck 852 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
623     MIDI drivers
624 schoenebeck 909 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
625     (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
626 schoenebeck 697
627 persson 696 * Gigasampler format engine:
628 schoenebeck 738 - extensive synthesis optimization
629     (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
630     prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
631     each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
632 persson 830 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
633     linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
634     --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
635 persson 696 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
636 persson 729 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
637     following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
638     controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
639 persson 791 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
640     cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
641 persson 877 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
642 schoenebeck 775 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
643 schoenebeck 781 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
644     which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
645 persson 783 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
646     accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
647 persson 797 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
648     time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
649 persson 799 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
650 schoenebeck 829 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
651     - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
652     all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
653     altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
654     mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
655 persson 832 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
656     parameter) and crossfade
657 persson 831 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
658     parameter
659 persson 832 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
660     messages
661 persson 865 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
662     instead of the wave chunk
663     - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
664     not equal to a power of two
665 persson 877 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
666     accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
667     and lowpass turbo.
668 persson 903 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
669     16 bits anymore
670     - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
671     aftertouch)
672 persson 922 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
673     amplifying from 0)
674 persson 696
675 schoenebeck 711 * LSCP server:
676     - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
677 iliev 793 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
678     network activity (fixes bug #26)
679 schoenebeck 826 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
680     (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
681 schoenebeck 711
682 schoenebeck 838 * audio driver:
683     - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
684    
685 schoenebeck 775 * MIDI driver:
686     - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
687     messages several times instead of once
688 schoenebeck 906 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
689     for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
690 persson 922 - added checks for bad MIDI data
691 schoenebeck 775
692 schoenebeck 900 * linuxsampler application:
693     - show available sampler engine types on startup
694    
695 schoenebeck 705 * general changes:
696     - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
697     LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
698     fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
699     introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
700 iliev 716 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
701     --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
702     processing of muted channels.
703 iliev 777 - support for sostenuto pedal
704 iliev 779 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
705 iliev 778 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
706     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
707 persson 835 - fixed some memory management errors
708 persson 841 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
709     LSCP commands were executed
710 schoenebeck 925 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
711     sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
712 schoenebeck 705
713 schoenebeck 692 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
714 schoenebeck 686
715     * packaging changes:
716     - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
717    
718 schoenebeck 687 * Gigasampler format engine:
719     - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
720     disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
721 schoenebeck 688 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
722     for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
723     stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
724     about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
725     appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
726 schoenebeck 687
727 schoenebeck 677 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
728 schoenebeck 609
729     * packaging changes:
730     - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
731     (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
732 schoenebeck 617 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
733     './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
734 schoenebeck 654 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
735     - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
736     (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
737 schoenebeck 649
738     * Gigasampler format engine:
739     - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
740     - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
741     - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
742     note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
743     note-off velocity.
744 schoenebeck 663 - revised voice stealing
745     (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
746 schoenebeck 659 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
747 schoenebeck 668 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
748     instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
749     (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
750     this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
751 schoenebeck 669 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
752     (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
753     resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
754 schoenebeck 670 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
755     instrument or audio output device change
756 schoenebeck 654
757 schoenebeck 620 * LSCP server:
758 schoenebeck 654 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
759 schoenebeck 660 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
760 schoenebeck 670 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
761 schoenebeck 609
762 schoenebeck 668 * linuxsampler application:
763     - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
764     default IP address and port of LSCP server
765    
766 schoenebeck 579 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
767    
768     * initial release
