* Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
  introduced in previous fix)

1 schoenebeck 1993 Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3 capela 2174 * plugin changes:
4 schoenebeck 2304 - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)
5 capela 2174
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
10     - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
11     doing "make dist"
12     - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
13 persson 2185 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
14 persson 2203 - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
15 persson 2185 - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
16 persson 2197 - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
17     directories are separate
18 persson 2203 - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
19     configure
20 persson 2208 - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
21 persson 2335 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
22 persson 2343 - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
23     - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
24     gcc 4.7 and C++11
25 persson 2086
26     * general changes:
27 iliev 2012 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
28     the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
29 schoenebeck 2047 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
30     respective profiling code is currently broken
31 schoenebeck 2053 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
32     "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
33     where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
34     (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
35 schoenebeck 2121 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
36     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
37     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
38     note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39     the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40     effect type is)
41     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
42     note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
43     the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
44     effect type is)
45 schoenebeck 2124 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
46 schoenebeck 2140 - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
47     (as suggested by Alex Stone)

49 iliev 2296 - experimental support for per voice equalization
50 iliev 2306 - added command line option --exec-after-init
51 schoenebeck 2330 - Introduced new C++ API method:
52     EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
53     allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
54     instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
55     instruments for example are splitted over several files like
56     "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
57 iliev 2012
58 persson 2043 * Gigasampler format engine:

347 schoenebeck 1599
348 schoenebeck 1639 * packaging changes:
349     - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
350     causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
351     "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
352     (patch by Alexis Ballier)

360 persson 1897 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
361 schoenebeck 1928 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
362     directory above)
363 persson 1899 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
364 persson 1923 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
365 persson 1931 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
366     - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
367 schoenebeck 1639
368 schoenebeck 1601 * general changes:
369     - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
370     load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
371     (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
372 schoenebeck 1602 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
373     plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
374 persson 1644 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
375     - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
376     unnecessarily long after an update
377 schoenebeck 1653 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
378     events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
379     of gigedit)
380 schoenebeck 1659 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
381 schoenebeck 1653 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
382 schoenebeck 1681 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
383     is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
384     implementation, which is usually faster)
385 persson 1748 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
386 persson 1777 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
387     VST plugin
388 iliev 1789 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent

390 persson 1790 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
391     multi-core and multi-cpu systems
392 schoenebeck 1800 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
393 persson 1825 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
394 schoenebeck 1830 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
395     be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
396     stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
397 schoenebeck 1868 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
398     a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
399 schoenebeck 1876 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
400     liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
401     InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
402     InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
403 persson 1887 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
404     model more strictly
405 persson 1895 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
406 persson 1951 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path

408     gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
409 schoenebeck 1601
410 schoenebeck 1599 * audio driver:
411     - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
412     max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
413 schoenebeck 1604 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
414     opposed to the LSCP specs
415 schoenebeck 1607 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
416     reflected the wrong value
417 persson 1644 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
418 persson 1748 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
419 persson 1777 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
420 persson 1748 jack_client_new
421 iliev 1829 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
422 persson 1888 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
423     previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
424     (fixes #117)
425 persson 1889 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
426     win64)
427 persson 1895 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
428     - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed

433     stereo
434 persson 1922 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
435     stored in the plugin state
436 schoenebeck 1930 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
437     AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
438     (if available)
439 persson 1951 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
440     exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
441 schoenebeck 1599
442 persson 1651 * MIDI driver:
443     - added JACK MIDI driver
444 schoenebeck 1715 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
445     want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
446     input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
447 persson 1889 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
448 persson 1887 CoreMidi or AU
449 persson 1889 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
450 persson 1924 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
451     moving the logic to a non-RT thread
452 persson 1951 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
453 persson 1651
454 schoenebeck 1604 * instruments database:
455 iliev 1603 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
456     to the instruments database
457 iliev 1727 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
458 iliev 1781 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
459     in the instruments database
460     (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
461 persson 1908 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
462     instrument database compilable
463 schoenebeck 1930 - added instrument database support on Windows
464     works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
465     the instruments DB file is located in
466     %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
467     databases for each windows user
468     if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
469     and then creates an empty DB
470 persson 1943 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
471 iliev 1603
472 persson 1644 * Gigasampler format engine:
473     - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
474     while notes were playing
475 persson 1646 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
476     isn't running
477 persson 1701 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
478     enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
479 schoenebeck 1715 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
480     respective FX send MIDI controller was used
481 schoenebeck 1724 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
482 schoenebeck 1762 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
483     whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
484     connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
485     on)
486 persson 1748 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
487     sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
488     be played
489 schoenebeck 1750 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
490     which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
491     drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
492     part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
493     LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
494     defined for the sampler
495 persson 1764 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
496     audio thread isn't running
497 persson 1844 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
498 schoenebeck 1852 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
499     un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
500     sampler engine anymore
501     - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
502     e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
503 schoenebeck 1857 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
504     same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
505     same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
506 persson 1858 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
507     instrument-level gig parameters
508     - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
509 schoenebeck 1860 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
510 persson 1862 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
511     - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
512 persson 1906 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
513     note was silent
514 persson 1923 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
515     same time a new instrument was loading
516 persson 1644
517 schoenebeck 1687 * LSCP server:
518     - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
519     react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
520     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
521 schoenebeck 1695 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
522     react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
523     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
524 iliev 1727 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
525     SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
526 iliev 1771 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
527     frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
528     - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
529     KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
530 iliev 1754 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
531     was incorrect
532 iliev 1763 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
533 schoenebeck 1800 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
534     amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
535     be triggered respectively
536     - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
537     amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
538     which will be triggered respectively
539 persson 1808 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
540     a gigedit file dialog is opened)
541 iliev 1848 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
542 iliev 1882 - hard close of all sockets on exit
543 persson 1897 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
544     driver
545 schoenebeck 1687
546 iliev 1761 * Bug fixes:
547     - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
548     to start instrument loading after another channel
549 iliev 1826 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
550     instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
551 iliev 1827 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
552     instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
553 iliev 1835 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
554     - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
555     GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
556     GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
557     GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
558     GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
559     - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
560 iliev 1843 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
561 iliev 1847 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
562     channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
563 iliev 1855 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
564 persson 1870 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
565     PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
566 persson 1889 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
567     plugin was unloaded
568 persson 1896 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
569     problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
570 persson 1933 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
571     Windows
572 iliev 1761
573    
574 schoenebeck 1560 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
575 schoenebeck 1454
576     * packaging changes:
577     - added autoconf checks for pthread library
578     - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
579     glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
580 senoner 1502 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
581 schoenebeck 1454
582 persson 1455 * general changes:
583     - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
584     editor closed
585 persson 1534 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
586     out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
587     decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
588     order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
589     - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
590     GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
591     the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
592     bugs.
593     - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
594     24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
595     endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
596     unaligned 32bit read and shift
597     - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
598     output via ASIO)
599     - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
600 iliev 1541 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
601     (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
602     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
603 persson 1455
604 senoner 1500 * AUDIO driver:
605 persson 1534 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
606 senoner 1500
607 senoner 1485 * MIDI driver:
608 schoenebeck 1495 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
609 senoner 1485
610 schoenebeck 1471 * LSCP server:
611     - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
612     forward slash path separators instead of backslash
613     (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
614 schoenebeck 1495 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
615     apostrophes as well
616 schoenebeck 1525 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
617     "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
618     "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
619     about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
620     running on
621 schoenebeck 1471
622 schoenebeck 1424 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
623 schoenebeck 947
624 schoenebeck 1065 * packaging changes:
625 schoenebeck 1212 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
626     API header files anymore
627 schoenebeck 1065 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
628     the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
629 schoenebeck 1175 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
630     capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
631     to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
632     OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
633 schoenebeck 1360 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
634     parameters
635 schoenebeck 1424 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
636     C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
637     are now in global_private.h
638     - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
639     - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
640     - fixed warnings in API doc generation
641 schoenebeck 1065
642 schoenebeck 947 * general changes:
643     - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
644     flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
645 schoenebeck 973 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
646 schoenebeck 947 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
647     loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
648     messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
649     strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
650     instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
651     quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
652     respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
653     global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
654     dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
655 schoenebeck 973 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
656     MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
657     a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
658     drumkits is possible
659 iliev 1108 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
660     MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
661 schoenebeck 990 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
662     due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
663     dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
664 schoenebeck 1001 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
665     output channels for being processed by external effect processors
666     (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
667     controllers
668 schoenebeck 1005 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
669 iliev 1130 - Implemented new, improved notification system
670 schoenebeck 1149 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
671     (patch by Toshi Nagata)
672 iliev 1161 - implemented instruments database
673 iliev 1345 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
674 schoenebeck 1212 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
675     within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
676     you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
677 schoenebeck 1407 startup, added a new LSCP command:
678     "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
679 schoenebeck 1212 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
680     given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
681     time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
682 schoenebeck 1321 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
683     in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
684     without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
685     wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
686 schoenebeck 1221 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
687     policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
688     thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
689     threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
690     setting their own policy and priority
691 schoenebeck 1233 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
692     main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
693     its output
694 persson 1248 - fixed some minor memory leaks
695 schoenebeck 1259 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
696     enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
697 schoenebeck 1314 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
698     register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
699 schoenebeck 1424 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
700 schoenebeck 947
701     * MIDI driver:
702     - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
703    
704 schoenebeck 1049 * audio driver:
705     - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
706     parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
707     (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
708    
709 persson 951 * Gigasampler format engine:
710     - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
711     die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
712     voice starvation for some gigs)
713 persson 1038 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
714     - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
715     playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
716     command
717 persson 1039 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
718 schoenebeck 1041 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
719 persson 1046 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
720     above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
721     even if sustain is 100%
722 persson 1147 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause

724 schoenebeck 1149 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
725 schoenebeck 1181 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
726     supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
727 schoenebeck 1321 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
728     instead of a fix value
729 schoenebeck 1348 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
730     127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
731     changed
732 persson 951
733 schoenebeck 1244 * LSCP server:
734     - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
735     (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
736 schoenebeck 1245 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
737     (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
738     - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
739     sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
740     \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
741     code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
742 schoenebeck 1389 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
743     least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
744     "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
745     "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
746     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
747     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
748     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
749     "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
750 schoenebeck 1252 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
751     occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
752     character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
753 persson 1349 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
754     settings
755 schoenebeck 1379 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
756     of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
757     (fixes #57)
758 schoenebeck 1244
759 iliev 959 * Bug fixes:
760     - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
761 persson 1038 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
762     channel audio output device"
763 iliev 1283 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
764     on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
765 iliev 1295 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
766     device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
767     to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
768 iliev 1296 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
769     the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
770     unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
771 iliev 1297 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
772 iliev 1298 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
773     channel changes
774 iliev 1305 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
775     audio output channels and MIDI input ports
776 iliev 1306 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
777     an audio output device
778 schoenebeck 1332 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
779 iliev 959
780 schoenebeck 1221 * test cases:
781     - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
782    
783 schoenebeck 937 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
784 persson 696
785 schoenebeck 697 * packaging changes:
786 capela 868 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
787     to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
788     to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
789 schoenebeck 697 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
790     applications to link against liblinuxsampler
791     - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
792     (Doxygen required)
793 schoenebeck 715 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
794     implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
795     di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
796     with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
797     configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
798 schoenebeck 829 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
799     provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
800 schoenebeck 849 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
801     messages
802 schoenebeck 852 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
803     MIDI drivers
804 schoenebeck 909 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
805     (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
806 schoenebeck 697
807 persson 696 * Gigasampler format engine:
808 schoenebeck 738 - extensive synthesis optimization
809     (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
810     prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
811     each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
812 persson 830 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
813     linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
814     --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
815 persson 696 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
816 persson 729 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
817     following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
818     controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
819 persson 791 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
820     cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
821 persson 877 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
822 schoenebeck 775 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
823 schoenebeck 781 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
824     which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
825 persson 783 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
826     accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
827 persson 797 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
828     time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
829 persson 799 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
830 schoenebeck 829 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
831     - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
832     all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
833     altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
834     mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
835 persson 832 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
836     parameter) and crossfade
837 persson 831 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
838     parameter
839 persson 832 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
840     messages
841 persson 865 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
842     instead of the wave chunk
843     - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
844     not equal to a power of two
845 persson 877 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
846     accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
847     and lowpass turbo.
848 persson 903 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
849     16 bits anymore
850     - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
851     aftertouch)
852 persson 922 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
853     amplifying from 0)
854 persson 696
855 schoenebeck 711 * LSCP server:
856     - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
857 iliev 793 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
858     network activity (fixes bug #26)
859 schoenebeck 826 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
860     (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
861 schoenebeck 711
862 schoenebeck 838 * audio driver:
863     - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
864    
865 schoenebeck 775 * MIDI driver:
866     - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
867     messages several times instead of once
868 schoenebeck 906 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
869     for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
870 persson 922 - added checks for bad MIDI data
871 schoenebeck 775
872 schoenebeck 900 * linuxsampler application:
873     - show available sampler engine types on startup
874    
875 schoenebeck 705 * general changes:
876     - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
877     LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
878     fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
879     introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
880 iliev 716 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
881     --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
882     processing of muted channels.
883 iliev 777 - support for sostenuto pedal
884 iliev 779 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
885 iliev 778 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
886     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
887 persson 835 - fixed some memory management errors
888 persson 841 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
889     LSCP commands were executed
890 schoenebeck 925 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
891     sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
892 schoenebeck 705
893 schoenebeck 692 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
894 schoenebeck 686
895     * packaging changes:
896     - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
897    
898 schoenebeck 687 * Gigasampler format engine:
899     - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
900     disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
901 schoenebeck 688 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
902     for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
903     stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
904     about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
905     appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
906 schoenebeck 687
907 schoenebeck 677 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
908 schoenebeck 609
909     * packaging changes:
910     - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
911     (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
912 schoenebeck 617 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
913     './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
914 schoenebeck 654 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
915     - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
916     (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
917 schoenebeck 649
918     * Gigasampler format engine:
919     - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
920     - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
921     - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
922     note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
923     note-off velocity.
924 schoenebeck 663 - revised voice stealing
925     (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
926 schoenebeck 659 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
927 schoenebeck 668 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
928     instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
929     (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
930     this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
931 schoenebeck 669 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
932     (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
933     resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
934 schoenebeck 670 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
935     instrument or audio output device change
936 schoenebeck 654
937 schoenebeck 620 * LSCP server:
938 schoenebeck 654 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
939 schoenebeck 660 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
940 schoenebeck 670 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
941 schoenebeck 609
942 schoenebeck 668 * linuxsampler application:
943     - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
944     default IP address and port of LSCP server
945    
946 schoenebeck 579 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
947    
948     * initial release
