* NKSP: Fixed re-entrant issue with function calls which caused wrong
  result values if the same function was called multiple times in a term
  (specifically if metric prefixes were used).

* Tests: Added NKSP core language test cases to guard this fixed issue.

* Bumped version (2.1.1.svn50).

1 schoenebeck 3548 Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3     * general changes:
4     - Fixed compiler error in Pool.h.
5 schoenebeck 3581 - Require C++14 compiler support.
6 schoenebeck 3557 - Autoconf: Added m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 macro which is used
7 schoenebeck 3581 for checking in configure for C++14 support (as mandatory
8 schoenebeck 3557 requirement) and automatically adds compiler argument if required
9 schoenebeck 3581 (e.g. -std=C++14).
10 schoenebeck 3575 - RTMath: Implemented floating point comparison methods
11     fEqual32(float,float) and fEqual64(double,double) which take the
12     expected floating point tolerances into account.
13 schoenebeck 3612 - Added public API C++ class "LFO", which is a cluster class encapsulating
14     all the sampler's LFO implementations to be used by 3rd party applications
15     (e.g. by Gigedit).
16     - Added int math square LFO implementation.
17     - Added int math saw LFO implementation.
18     - Added numeric complex nr sine LFO implementation.
19     - Marked class LFOTriangleDiHarmonic as deprecated
20     (will be removed in future).
21     - Added LFOAll.h which includes all LFO implementation's header files.
22 schoenebeck 3614 - Refactored LFO class names and their file names (PulseLFO -> LFOPulse,
23     LFOSawIntMath -> LFOSawIntMathNew, SawLFO -> LFOSawIntMathOld,
24     SineLFO -> LFOSineBuiltinFn, LFOSine -> LFOSineNumericComplexNr,
25     SquareLFO -> LFOSquarePulse and separated the latter to its own header
26     file).
27     - Renamed type LFOSigned -> LFOTriangleSigned.
28     - Renamed type LFOUnsigned -> LFOTriangleUnsigned.
29 schoenebeck 3639 - Using now cubic interpolation as resampling algorithm by default; and
30     linear interpolation is deprecated now.
31 schoenebeck 3686 - Event:Init(): memset() entire Event::Param union to zero instead of trying
32     to do that for its individual members; the latter became error prone due
33     to the union's growing complexity meanwhile.
34 schoenebeck 3687 - EngineChannel: Overhaul of RPN/NRPN related methods: Added new
35     *Rpn*Parameter*() methods as replacement for previous *Rpn*Controller*()
36     methods and marked the old ones as deprecated; and likewise added new
37     *Nrpn*Parameter*() methods as replacement for previous *Nrpn*Controller*()
38     methods and marked those old ones deprecated as well.
39 schoenebeck 3688 - Added support for MIDI CC #38 (data entry LSB): this allows higher value
40     resolution for certain (e.g. hard coded) RPN and NRPN parameters.
41 schoenebeck 3697 - Implemented support for compressed RPN/NRPN message sequences (that is to
42     allow processing MIDI data entry messages without always having to be
43     preceded strictly by RPN/NRPN parameter selection messages on each value
44     change).
45 schoenebeck 3699 - Added support for MIDI CC #96 (data increment) and MIDI CC #97 (data
46     decrement).
47 schoenebeck 3701 - Added support for 'null function RPN/NRPN' (which is RPN/NRPN parameter
48     MSB=127 and LSB=127) and which is disabling subsequent data
49     entry/increment/decrement CC messages.
50 schoenebeck 3724 - Fixed crash when editing key groups (a.k.a. exclusive groups) with an
51     instrument editor.
52 schoenebeck 3725 - Fixed playing noise at the end of a disk stream under certain conditions.
53 schoenebeck 3726 - Fixed potential crash with high pitch at end of RAM playback.
54 schoenebeck 3739 - Added configure checks whether C++ compiler supports so called
55     'designated initializers'.
56 schoenebeck 3550
57 schoenebeck 3551 * Real-time instrument scripts:
58     - Added method ScriptVM::setExitResultEnabled() which allows to
59     explicitly enable the built-in exit() function to optionally accept
60     one function argument; the value of the passed exit() function
61     argument will then become available by calling
62     VMExecContext::exitResult() after script execution.
63 schoenebeck 3557 - 64 bit support for NKSP integer scripts variables (declare $foo).
64 schoenebeck 3561 - Variable names, function names and preprocessor condition names must start
65     with a regular character (a-z or A-Z); starting them with a digit or
66     underscore is not allowed.
67     - NKSP parser fix: equal comparison operator "=" and not equal comparison
68     operator "#" must only accept integer operands.
69     - NKSP language: Implemented support for standard units like Hertz, seconds,
70     Bel including support for metric unit prefixes; so one can now e.g.
71     conveniently use numbers in scripts like "5us" meaning "5 microseconds",
72     or e.g. "12kHz" meaning "12 kilo Hertz", or e.g. "-14mdB" meaning
73     "minus 14 Millidecibel", or e.g. "28c" meaning "28 cents" (for tuning).
74     - NKSP language: Introduced "final" operator "!" which is specifically
75     intended for synthesis parameter values to denote that the synthesis
76     parameter value is intended to be the "final" value for that synthesis
77     parameter that should explicitly be used by the engine and thus causing
78     the sampler engine to ignore all other modulation sources for the same
79     synthesis parameter (like e.g. LFO, EG); by simply prefixing a value,
80     variable or formula with this new "!" operator the expression is marked as
81     being "final".
82 schoenebeck 3562 - NKSP script editor API: Added support for detecting standard unit tokens
83     and their potential metric prefix token.
84 schoenebeck 3573 - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number literals and
85     arithmetic operations on them (e.g. "(3.9 + 2.9) / 12.3 - 42.0").
86     - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) script
87     variables (declare ~foo).
88     - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) array
89     script variables (declare ?foo[]).
90     - Built-in script function "message()" accepts now real number argument as
91     well.
92     - Added built-in script function "real_to_int()" and its short hand form
93     "int()" for casting from real number to integer in NKSP scripts.
94     - Added built-in script function "int_to_real()" and its short hand form
95     "real()" for casting from integer to real number in NKSP scripts.
96 schoenebeck 3575 - Allow built-in exit() function to potentially accept real number type
97     argument as well.
98 schoenebeck 3577 - Built-in script functions may have a different return type depending on
99     the arguments passed to the function.
100     - Built-in script function "abs()" optionally accepts and returns real
101     number.
102     - Built-in script functions "min()" and "max()" optionally accept real
103     number arguments and return real number as result in that case.
104 schoenebeck 3581 - NKSP VM API: Allow units and 'final'ness to be returned as result from
105     built-in functions (added methods VMFunction::returnUnitType() and
106     VMFunction::returnsFinal() for that purpose which must be implemented by
107     built-in function implementations).
108     - NKSP language: Allow metric unit prefixes of numeric scalar and array
109     variables to be changed freely at runtime (unlike unit types like Hz etc.
110     which are still sticky, parse-time features of variables which cannot be
111     changed at runtime for the intentional sake of determinism).
112     - NKSP language: 'final' values are prohibited for array variables for now
113     (attempt causes a parsers error).
114     - NKSP language: expressions with unit types (e.g. Hz) are prohibited for
115     conditions of runtime control structures like if(), while(), select()
116     (attempt causes a parser error).
117     - NKSP VM API: Allow built-in functions to perform their own, individual
118     parse time checks of arguments going to be passed to the function at
119     runtime (added method VMFunction::checkArgs() for that purpose).
120     - NKSP language: raise parser warning if only one operand of binary
121     operators (like logical 'or' comparison) contain a 'final' value (because
122     it would always yield in a 'final' result in such cases).
123     - NKSP language: Allow comparison (=, #, <, >, <=, >=) of values with
124     different metric unit prefixes, which will behave as expected (e.g.
125     result of expression '1000us < 2ms' is true).
126     - NKSP language: Allow adding values with different metric unit prefixes
127     (e.g. result of expression '100Hz + 5kHz' is '5100Hz').
128     - NKSP language: Allow subtracting values with different metric unit
129     prefixes (e.g. result of expression '1ms - 20us' is '980us').
130     - NKSP language: Allow multiplying with any metric unit prefixes
131     (e.g. result of expression '2k * 3ms' is '6s'), however multiplications
132     with unit types on both sides (e.g. '2s * 2s') is still prohibited since
133     we don't have any considerable practical use for a term like '4s^2'
134     (hence any attempt multiplying two unit types still causes parser error).
135     - NKSP language: Allow dividing by any metric unit prefixes and allow
136     division of same unit type on both sides (e.g. expression '8kHz / 1000Hz'
137     yields in unit free result '8'). So this is now a way to cast units away
138     e.g. for passing the result to other expressions, certain function calls
139     or variables which are not accepting any units (or that specific unit).
140     - NKSP language: integer arrays and real number arrays can now be converted
141     to strings (e.g. for dumping their content with message() calls for
142     script debugging purposes).
143     - NKSP language: expressions and variables with units are now correctly
144     casted to strings (e.g. with message() calls).
145     - NKSP language: comparing real numbers for equalness (e.g. '~foo = 3.1') or
146     unequalness (e.g. '~foo # 3.1') is now less strict and takes the expected
147     floating point tolerances into account.
148     - NKSP VM API: Added methods VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastInt() and
149     VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastReal().
150     - NKSP VM API: Added base class 'VMNumberArrayExpr' for classes
151     'VMIntArrayExpr' and 'VMRealArrayExpr'.
152     - NKSP VM API: replaced all unitPrefix() (parse time) methods by
153     unitFactor() (runtime) methods.
154     - Built-in function "exit()" supports now returning units and 'final'ness
155     for test cases.
156     - The following built-in functions support now units as well: "abs()",
157     "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
158     "real_to_int()", "int()", "int_to_real()" and "real()".
159     - Built-in functions "array_equal()", "search()" and "sort()" support now
160     real number arrays (correctly) as well.
161     - Added individual parse time checks of arguments to be passed to built-in
162     functions "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
163     "array_equal()" and "search()" specific for their individual purposes.
164 schoenebeck 3582 - NKSP VM refactoring: Renamed all methods, functions and classes matching
165     pattern *ScalarNumber* to simply *Number* (that is i.e. classes
166     VMScalarNumberExpr -> VMNumberExpr, ScalarNumberExpr -> NumberExpr,
167     ScalarNumberVariable -> NumberVariable, ScalarNumberBinaryOp ->
168     NumberBinaryOp, VMScalarNumberResultFunction -> VMNumberResultFunction,
169     method VMExpr::asScalarNumberExpr() -> VMExpr::asNumber(), function
170     isScalarNumber() -> isNumber()).
171 schoenebeck 3584 - NKSP VM API: Added 4 overridden methods to class VMNumberExpr:
172     evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t),
173     evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t)
174     as convenient methods for automatically converting values to expected
175     metric value basis.
176     - Built-in function "wait()" accepts now both integers and real numbers as
177     argument.
178 schoenebeck 3585 - NKSP VM API cleanup: Get rid of legacy method
179     VMFunction::argType(vmint iArg) which was already superseded by its new
180     replacement VMFunction::acceptsArgType(vmint iArg, ExprType_t type).
181     - NKSP parser: if wrong argument type was passed to a built-in function and
182     that built-in function accepts more than one data type for the argument,
183     then show all supported data types as parser error message.
184 schoenebeck 3587 - Built-in function "play_note()" accepts now real numbers and seconds as
185     unit type as well for its 3rd and 4th function arguments.
186     - The following built-in functions accept now real numbers as well for their
187     2nd function argument: "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_cutoff()",
188     "change_attack()", "change_decay()", "change_release()",
189     "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_attack()", "change_cutoff_decay()",
190     "change_cutoff_sustain()", "change_cutoff_release()",
191     "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
192     "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()",
193     "change_pan_time()", "fade_in()", "fade_out()", "change_play_pos()".
194     - Fixed built-in function "change_play_pos()" not having accepted metric
195     prefixes at all.
196 schoenebeck 3588 - Fixed the following built-in functions having misinterpreted values given
197     with unit type (for their 2nd argument) as if they were relative values
198     (that is as if they were passed without a unit type): "change_attack()",
199     "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
200     "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()".
201     - Fixed the following built-in functions having applied completely wrong
202     'final' values: "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_sustain()" (since the
203     respective EGs being their modulation sink assume uint data type with
204     value range 0..1000 instead of 0.0..1.0.
205     - Added individual parse-time checks of function arguments for the following
206     built-in functions: "play_note()", "note_off()", "set_event_mark()",
207     "delete_event_mark()", "by_marks()", "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
208     "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
209     "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()",
210     "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
211     "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()" and
212     "change_pan_time()".
213     - Don't abort function call if unit type was used and at the same time
214     'final' operator was omitted for the primary value argument of the
215     following built-in functions: "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
216     "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
217     "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()",
218     "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
219     "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()",
220     "change_pan_time()", instead imply 'final'ness at runtime and raise an
221     appropriate parser warning at parse time.
222 schoenebeck 3590 - Added built-in real number functions "round()", "ceil()", "floor()",
223     "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()", "sin()",
224     "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
225     - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_PI".
226     - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_E".
227 schoenebeck 3592 - NKSP language: Allow unary '+' operator.
228 schoenebeck 3678 - Added built-in script functions "msb()" and "lsb()".
229 schoenebeck 3690 - NKSP language: Added support for RPN event handler
230     ("on rpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
231     - NKSP language: Added support for NRPN event handler
232     ("on nrpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
233     - Added built-in read-only variables "$RPN_ADDRESS" and "$RPN_VALUE" which
234     may be read from the new RPN/NRPN script handlers to get the (N)RPN
235     parameter that had been changed and its new value.
236     - Added built-in const variables "$NI_CB_TYPE_RPN" and "$NI_CB_TYPE_NRPN"
237     which are identifying the new (N)RPN handlers as such at script runtime.
238 schoenebeck 3691 - Implemented built-in script function "set_rpn()".
239     - Implemented built-in script function "set_nrpn()".
240 schoenebeck 3714 - Fix: built-in functions returning an array type were broken and caused a
241     crash when the built-in function's (supposed to be array) result value was
242     used by the script VM.
243 schoenebeck 3715 - Removed upper value constraint for 2nd argument of built-in functions
244     "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
245     "change_pitch_lfo_freq()","change_reso()", "change_cutoff()",
246     "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_cutoff_lfo_depth()" and
247     "change_pitch_lfo_depth()", to allow e.g. passing value 2000000 to double
248     the LFO frequency / resonance / cutoff frequency.
249 schoenebeck 3728 - Reduced code involved for parsing NKSP variable declarations by using 2
250     generalized grammar rules with optional components (i.e. optional value
251     assignment and optional variable qualifiers) instead of previous linear
252     combinations of grammar rules, which also fixes some edge case.
253 schoenebeck 3729 - NKSP language parser: track code block locations also by a) raw byte
254     position in NKSP source code string and b) length of that code block in
255     bytes (along to the already existing code block tracking by line/column);
256     and added appropriate new members to public C++ API classes like
257     'firstByte' and 'lengthBytes' to class VMSourceToken and struct CodeBlock.
258 schoenebeck 3733 - NKSP language: Added support for 'patch' variable qualifier (capture their
259     locations and allow replacement of their assignment expression via VM C++
260     API).
261 schoenebeck 3742 - Fixed incorrect EG times if standard measuring unit was passed to built-in
262     functions "change_attack()", "change_decay()" or "change_release()".
263 schoenebeck 3744 - Fixed intermediate function result values never having reflected any
264     standard measuring unit type.
265 schoenebeck 3747 - Fixed re-entrant issue with function calls which caused wrong result
266     values if the same function was called multiple times in a term
267     (specifically if metric prefixes were used).
268 schoenebeck 3551
269 schoenebeck 3550 * test cases:
270 schoenebeck 3548 - Fixed compiler errors in test cases.
271     - Updated README for how to compile & run test cases.
272     - Updated test case
273     MutexTest::testDoubleLockStillBlocksConcurrentThread() to latest
274     expected behaviour of the Mutex class implementation (recursive
275     mutex type).
276 schoenebeck 3551 - Added test cases for NKSP core language aspects and core built-in
277     functions.
278 schoenebeck 3552 - Fixed thread tests segfaulting on Linux.
279 schoenebeck 3575 - NKSP: Added real number test cases for built-in functions exit(),
280     int_to_real(), real(), real_to_int() and int(), as well as for the
281     plus, minus and negate language operators.
282 schoenebeck 3581 - Added massive amount of NKSP test cases for standard measuring units and
283     'final' operator usage cases.
284     - Added NKSP test cases for (floating point tolerance aware) real number
285     equalness / unequalness comparison.
286 schoenebeck 3586 - Added NKSP int array and real array tests for value assignment and
287     initialization of arrays.
288 schoenebeck 3590 - Added NKSP test cases for built-in functions "round()", "ceil()",
289     "floor()", "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()",
290     "sin()", "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
291 schoenebeck 3592 - Added NKSP test cases for unary '+' operator.
292 schoenebeck 3693 - Added NKSP test cases for core built-in variables.
293 schoenebeck 3727 - Added thorough NKSP test cases for variable declarations.
294 schoenebeck 3548
295 schoenebeck 3611 * GigaStudio/Gigasampler format engine:
296     - LFOTriangleIntMath and LFOTriangleIntAbsMath: Fixed FlipPhase=true
297     behaviour for start_level_mid.
298 schoenebeck 3615 - Changed LFO start levels: LFO1 and LFO2 both to mid, LFO3 to max. start
299     level (see discussion "GigaStudio LFO compatibility" on mailing list
300     from 2019-09-26 for details).
301 schoenebeck 3616 - Changed default wave form for all 3 LFOs to sine (instead of triangle;
302     see discussion "GigaStudio LFO compatibility" on mailing list from
303     2019-09-26 for details).
304 schoenebeck 3625 - Format extension: Added support for different LFO wave forms (currently
305     either sine [default], triangle, saw or square).
306     - Format extension: Added support for LFO phase displacement (0��..360��).
307     - Format extension: Added support for flipping LFO polarity on LFO 3
308     (in the original gig format this was only available for LFO 1 and LFO 2).
309 schoenebeck 3646 - Format extension: Support for additional filter types:
310     lowpass 1/2/4/6-pole, highpass 1/2/4/6-pole, bandpass 2-pole,
311     bandreject 2-pole.
312 schoenebeck 3719 - Fixd potential crash with polynomial interpolator and max. pitch.
313 schoenebeck 3721 - If minimum cutoff is defined, remap cutoff controller CC values to really
314     span the entire possible cutoff range (and avoiding a dead controller
315     zone).
316 schoenebeck 3733 - Implemented support for loading instrument scripts with 'patch' variables
317     (by patching these script variables with potentially overridden ones by
318     gig Instrument).
319 schoenebeck 3611
320 persson 3593 * SFZ format engine:
321     - Fixed support for regions with loccN/hiccN conditions on more than one
322     MIDI controller.
323    
324 schoenebeck 3612 * Benchmarks:
325     - Fixed benchmarks/triang.cpp falsely having favoured "int math abs"
326     algorithm (since result of 2nd run was not accumulated).
327     - Added benchmark for saw wave (benchmarks/saw.cpp).
328     - Added benchmark for sine wave (benchmarks/sine.cpp).
329     - Added benchmark for square wave (benchmarks/square.cpp).
330     - Increased amount of benchmarks runs by factor 6 to achieve benchmark times
331     which are large enough on modern systems.
332    
333 schoenebeck 3537 Version 2.1.1 (27 Jul 2019)
334 schoenebeck 3381
335     * Real-time instrument scripts:
336     - Fixed behavior of built-in NKSP functions change_sustain(),
337     change_cutoff_attack(), change_cutoff_decay(), change_cutoff_sustain()
338     and change_cutoff_release().
339    
340 schoenebeck 3444 * general changes:
341     - Only play release trigger samples on sustain pedal up if this behaviour
342     was explicitly requested by the instrument (otherwise only on note-off).
343 persson 3455 - Fixed compiler warnings.
344     - Fixed compilation error when cross-compiling to Mac.
345 schoenebeck 3501 - FX Sends: Provide more useful error messages on routing problems
346     (see bug #169).
347     - LSCP doc: Be more clear describing the two distinct approaches
348     of using external vs. internal effects (see bug #169).
349 schoenebeck 3514 - "optional" class: Fixed comparison operators.
350 schoenebeck 3444
351 schoenebeck 3448 * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
352     - Format extension: If requested by instrument then don't play release
353     trigger sample on note-off events.
354    
355 schoenebeck 3487 * SFZ format engine:
356     - Fixed memory leak when releasing samples
357     (fixes bug #307, patch by Jacek Roszkowski)
358 schoenebeck 3492 - Fixed potential crash when a sample is shared by more than one region
359     (fixes bug #308, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
360 schoenebeck 3497 - Opcode 'sample': Added support for built-in sample '*silence'
361     (fixes bug #310, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
362 schoenebeck 3487
363 schoenebeck 3372 Version 2.1.0 (25 Nov 2017)
364 persson 2837
365 persson 2856 * SFZ format engine:
366     - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
367 schoenebeck 3082 - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
368     - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
369     load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
370 schoenebeck 3095 - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
371 schoenebeck 3100 - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
372 persson 3291 - sfz parser: allow missing space between header and opcode
373 persson 2856
374 schoenebeck 3188 * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
375 schoenebeck 3072 - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
376     cutoff settings.
377 schoenebeck 3302 - Got rid of resembling an ancient GSt misbehavior which did not pitch at
378     all if an up-pitch of more than 40 semi tones was requested (I don't
379     think there is any stock gig sound that requires this behavior to
380     resemble its original sound).
381 schoenebeck 3328 - Added support for controlling whether the individual EGADSR stages may
382     be aborted (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4
383     format).
384 schoenebeck 3072
385 persson 2837 * general changes:
386     - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
387 persson 2840 - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
388 schoenebeck 2871 - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
389     allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
390     - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
391     position within a list.
392     - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
393     a raw element pointer.
394     - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
395     overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
396     DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
397     because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
398 schoenebeck 2879 - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
399     being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
400     processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
401     script features.
402 schoenebeck 2927 - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
403     (CC #64) events.
404     - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
405     note-off and sustain pedal up events.
406 schoenebeck 2963 - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
407     (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
408     volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
409 schoenebeck 3015 - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
410     properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
411 schoenebeck 3018 - Added new C++ API method
412     VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
413 persson 3020 - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
414     sub threads is 16-byte aligned
415 schoenebeck 3054 - fixed numerous compiler warnings
416 schoenebeck 3205 - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
417 schoenebeck 3290 - Revised fundamental C++ classes "Thread", "Mutex" and "Condition" which
418     fixes potential undefined behavior.
419 schoenebeck 3306 - Fixed Note object leak when triggering notes on keys which did not
420     have a valid sample mapped (fixes bug #252).
421     - Fixed compilation errors when compiling with CONFIG_DEVMODE enabled.
422 schoenebeck 3354 - linuxsampler binary fix: option --create-instruments-db ignored
423     subsequent optional argument due to glibc's implementation oddity
424     which expects a "=" sign, but no space between them.
425 persson 2837
426 schoenebeck 2866 * packaging changes:
427     - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
428     (originated by libgig's usage of it)
429 schoenebeck 2884 - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
430     auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
431 schoenebeck 3352 - Debian: Fixed packaging error about invalid "Source-Version"
432     substitution variable.
433     - Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch".
434 schoenebeck 3354 - Debian: Added build dependency to libsqlite3-dev for building
435     linuxsampler with instruments DB support.
436 schoenebeck 2866
437 schoenebeck 2871 * Real-time instrument scripts:
438     - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
439     - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
440     "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
441     correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
442     - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
443     function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
444     argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
445     microseconds.
446     - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
447     potentially causing undefined behavior.
448     - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
449     variable.
450 schoenebeck 2879 - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
451     special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
452     triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
453 schoenebeck 2885 - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
454     - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
455     a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
456     script editor applications.
457 schoenebeck 2889 - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
458     - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
459     column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
460     the precise span of the issue within the source code).
461 schoenebeck 2902 - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
462     editor.
463 schoenebeck 2911 - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
464     like "on note end on".

469     - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
470     - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
471     - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
472     "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
473     "event_status()" function.
474     - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
475     and ".not.".
476     - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
477     character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
478     - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
479 schoenebeck 2938 - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
480     be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
481     events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
482 schoenebeck 2942 - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
483     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
484     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
485     - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
486 schoenebeck 2945 - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
487     - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
488     - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
489     - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
490     associative instead of left (to right).
491 schoenebeck 2947 - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
492     (i.e. "if end if").
493 schoenebeck 2948 - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
494     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
495     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
496     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".

505     - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
506     - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
507 schoenebeck 2962 - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
508     synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
509     was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
510     change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
511     changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
512     to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
513 schoenebeck 2965 - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
514     - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
515 schoenebeck 2970 - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
516     - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
517 schoenebeck 2972 - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
518     was loaded.
519     - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
520     a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
521     a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
522     engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
523 schoenebeck 2974 - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
524     threatening scripts.
525 schoenebeck 3008 - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
526 schoenebeck 3013 - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
527     initializer list to an array variable.
528 schoenebeck 3073 - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
529 schoenebeck 3076 - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".

539     script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
540     "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
541     "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
542     "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
543 schoenebeck 3193 - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
544     of its possible parameter selections.
545     - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
546     of its possible parameter selections.
547 schoenebeck 3205 - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
548 schoenebeck 3207 - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
549 schoenebeck 3212 - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
550     built-in function "ignore_controller()".
551 schoenebeck 3214 - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
552     - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
553 schoenebeck 3218 - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
554     intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
555     "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
556     assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
557     timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
558     changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
559     relevant).
560 schoenebeck 3221 - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
561     - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
562     - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".

564 schoenebeck 3228 - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
565     available for gig format engine).
566 schoenebeck 3246 - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
567     - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
568     - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
569     - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
570 schoenebeck 3251 - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
571     offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
572     sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
573 schoenebeck 3253 - Built-in array variable %KEY_DOWN[] is now a read-only variable.
574     - Built-in variable $EVENT_NOTE is now a read-only variable.
575     - Built-in variable $EVENT_VELOCITY is now a read-only variable.
576     - built-in "play_note()" function now accepts -2 for its fourth argument
577     (note duration) which means the life time of the note shall be sticked
578     to the requested note number of argument 1.
579     - Fix: built-in "play_note()" function now returns 0 as result value if
580     -1 was passed for its fourth argument (note duration) and the respective
581     parent note is already gone.
582 schoenebeck 3255 - Implemented built-in script function "change_play_pos()".

590     another script handler by passing its callback ID.
591 schoenebeck 3283 - Fixed potential memory access bug and potential undefined behavior of
592     "init" event handlers.
593 schoenebeck 3285 - Print a time stamp along to each call of built-in function "message()".
594     - ScriptVM API: Added VMParserContext::preprocessorComments() which allows
595     to retrieve all code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor.
596 schoenebeck 3293 - Added built-in script function "fork()".
597     - Added built-in array variable %NKSP_CALLBACK_CHILD_ID[].
598     - Added built-in variable $NKSP_CALLBACK_PARENT_ID.

603     - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_RUNNING.
604 schoenebeck 3303 - Removed max. value limitation of built-in functions "change_attack()",
605     "change_decay()" and "change_release()" to i.e. allow passing 2000000
606     for doubling the respective time.
607 schoenebeck 3308 - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: Fixed app termination due
608     to a lexer start condition stack underrun.
609     - NKSP preprocessor: Fixed wrong behavior on nested USE_CODE_IF() and
610     USE_CODE_IF_NOT() preprocessor statements.
611 schoenebeck 3311 - NKSP: Added built-in preprocessor condition NKSP_NO_MESSAGE, which
612     can be set to disable all subsequent built-in "message()" function calls
613     on preprocessor level.
614 schoenebeck 3316 - Implemented built-in script function "change_sustain()".
615 schoenebeck 3332 - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: catch all fatal lexer errors,
616     to avoid the editor app to crash on ill-formed text input.
617 schoenebeck 3335 - Added built-in script function "change_pan_time()".
618     - Added built-in script function "change_pan_curve()".

675 persson 2382
676 persson 2086 * general changes:
677 iliev 2012 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
678     the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
679 schoenebeck 2047 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
680     respective profiling code is currently broken
681 schoenebeck 2053 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
682     "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
683     where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
684     (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
685 schoenebeck 2121 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
686     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
687     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
688     note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
689     the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
690     effect type is)
691     - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
692     note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to

702     EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
703     allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
704     instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
705     instruments for example are splitted over several files like
706     "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
707 schoenebeck 2375 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().

711 schoenebeck 2377 - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
712 persson 2382 - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
713     applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
714     series (#182)

716     used it everywhere appropriate
717 schoenebeck 2448 - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
718     - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
719     SysEx way).
720 persson 2452 - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
721     and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
722     used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
723     - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
724 schoenebeck 2500 - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
725     added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
726     C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
727     as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
728     backward compatibility).
729     - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
730     unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
731 schoenebeck 2506 - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
732 schoenebeck 2515 - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
733     sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.

735     - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
736     - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
737 schoenebeck 2559 - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
738     polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
739     supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
740     used so far).
741 schoenebeck 2594 - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
742     code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
743     gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
744     (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).

1146     instrument was completely reloaded again.
1147 persson 2277 - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages

1171 schoenebeck 2523 - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
1172     "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
1173     practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
1174     shell's auto completion feature).
1175 schoenebeck 2672 - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
1176     after each other (fixes #231).

1229 schoenebeck 1868 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
1230     a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
1231 schoenebeck 1876 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following

1301     if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
1302     and then creates an empty DB
1303 persson 1943 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
1304 iliev 1603
1305 persson 1644 * Gigasampler format engine:

1317     connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
1318     on)
1319 persson 1748 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
1320     sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
1321     be played
1322 schoenebeck 1750 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
1323     which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
1324     drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
1325     part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
1326     LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
1327     defined for the sampler

1335     e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
1336 schoenebeck 1857 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
1337     same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
1338     same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
1339 persson 1858 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
1340     instrument-level gig parameters
1341     - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
1342 schoenebeck 1860 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
1343 persson 1862 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
1344     - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
1345 persson 1906 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
1346     note was silent
1347 persson 1923 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
1348     same time a new instrument was loading
1349 persson 1644
1350 schoenebeck 1687 * LSCP server:
1351     - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to

1353     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1354 schoenebeck 1695 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1355     react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
1356     Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1357 iliev 1727 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
1358     SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
1359 iliev 1771 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
1360     frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
1361     - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
1362     KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
1363 iliev 1754 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
1364     was incorrect
1365 iliev 1763 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
1366 schoenebeck 1800 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
1367     amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
1368     be triggered respectively
1369     - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
1370     amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
1371     which will be triggered respectively
1372 persson 1808 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when

1395     channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
1396 iliev 1855 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
1397 persson 1870 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
1398     PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
1399 persson 1889 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
1400     plugin was unloaded
1401 persson 1896 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
1402     problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
1403 persson 1933 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
1404     Windows

1407 schoenebeck 1560 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
1408 schoenebeck 1454
1409     * packaging changes:
1410     - added autoconf checks for pthread library
1411     - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
1412     glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
1413 senoner 1502 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
1414 schoenebeck 1454
1415 persson 1455 * general changes:
1416     - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
1417     editor closed
1418 persson 1534 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
1419     out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
1420     decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
1421     order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
1422     - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
1423     GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
1424     the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
1425     bugs.
1426     - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
1427     24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
1428     endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
1429     unaligned 32bit read and shift
1430     - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
1431     output via ASIO)
1432     - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
1433 iliev 1541 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
1434     (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1435     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
1436 persson 1455
1437 senoner 1500 * AUDIO driver:
1438 persson 1534 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
1439 senoner 1500
1440 senoner 1485 * MIDI driver:
1441 schoenebeck 1495 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
1442 senoner 1485
1443 schoenebeck 1471 * LSCP server:
1444     - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1445     forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1446     (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1447 schoenebeck 1495 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1448     apostrophes as well
1449 schoenebeck 1525 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1450     "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1451     "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1452     about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
1453     running on
1454 schoenebeck 1471
1455 schoenebeck 1424 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
1456 schoenebeck 947
1457 schoenebeck 1065 * packaging changes:
1458 schoenebeck 1212 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
1459     API header files anymore
1460 schoenebeck 1065 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
1461     the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
1462 schoenebeck 1175 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
1463     capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
1464     to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
1465     OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1466 schoenebeck 1360 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
1467     parameters
1468 schoenebeck 1424 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
1469     C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
1470     are now in global_private.h
1471     - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
1472     - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
1473     - fixed warnings in API doc generation
1474 schoenebeck 1065
1475 schoenebeck 947 * general changes:
1476     - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
1477     flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
1478 schoenebeck 973 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
1479 schoenebeck 947 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
1480     loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
1481     messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
1482     strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
1483     instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
1484     quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
1485     respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
1486     global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
1487     dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
1488 schoenebeck 973 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
1489     MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
1490     a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
1491     drumkits is possible
1492 iliev 1108 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
1493     MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
1494 schoenebeck 990 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
1495     due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
1496     dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
1497 schoenebeck 1001 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
1498     output channels for being processed by external effect processors
1499     (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
1500     controllers
1501 schoenebeck 1005 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
1502 iliev 1130 - Implemented new, improved notification system
1503 schoenebeck 1149 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
1504     (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1505 iliev 1161 - implemented instruments database
1506 iliev 1345 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
1507 schoenebeck 1212 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
1508     within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
1509     you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
1510 schoenebeck 1407 startup, added a new LSCP command:
1511     "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
1512 schoenebeck 1212 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
1513     given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
1514     time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
1515 schoenebeck 1321 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
1516     in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
1517     without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
1518     wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
1519 schoenebeck 1221 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
1520     policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
1521     thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
1522     threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
1523     setting their own policy and priority
1524 schoenebeck 1233 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
1525     main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
1526     its output
1527 persson 1248 - fixed some minor memory leaks
1528 schoenebeck 1259 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
1529     enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
1530 schoenebeck 1314 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
1531     register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
1532 schoenebeck 1424 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
1533 schoenebeck 947
1534     * MIDI driver:
1535     - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
1536    
1537 schoenebeck 1049 * audio driver:
1538     - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
1539     parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
1540     (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
1541    
1542 persson 951 * Gigasampler format engine:
1543     - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
1544     die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
1545     voice starvation for some gigs)
1546 persson 1038 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
1547     - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
1548     playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
1549     command
1550 persson 1039 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
1551 schoenebeck 1041 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
1552 persson 1046 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
1553     above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
1554     even if sustain is 100%
1555 persson 1147 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
1556     noises or crashes
1557 schoenebeck 1149 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1558 schoenebeck 1181 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
1559     supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
1560 schoenebeck 1321 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
1561     instead of a fix value
1562 schoenebeck 1348 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
1563     127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
1564     changed
1565 persson 951
1566 schoenebeck 1244 * LSCP server:
1567     - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
1568     (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
1569 schoenebeck 1245 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
1570     (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
1571     - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
1572     sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
1573     \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
1574     code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
1575 schoenebeck 1389 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
1576     least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
1577     "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
1578     "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
1579     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
1580     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
1581     "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
1582     "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
1583 schoenebeck 1252 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
1584     occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1585     character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1586 persson 1349 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1587     settings
1588 schoenebeck 1379 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
1589     of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
1590     (fixes #57)
1591 schoenebeck 1244
1592 iliev 959 * Bug fixes:
1593     - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
1594 persson 1038 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
1595     channel audio output device"
1596 iliev 1283 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
1597     on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
1598 iliev 1295 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
1599     device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1600     to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1601 iliev 1296 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1602     the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1603     unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1604 iliev 1297 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1605 iliev 1298 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1606     channel changes
1607 iliev 1305 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1608     audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1609 iliev 1306 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1610     an audio output device
1611 schoenebeck 1332 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
1612 iliev 959
1613 schoenebeck 1221 * test cases:
1614     - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
1615    
1616 schoenebeck 937 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
1617 persson 696
1618 schoenebeck 697 * packaging changes:
1619 capela 868 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
1620     to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
1621     to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
1622 schoenebeck 697 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
1623     applications to link against liblinuxsampler
1624     - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
1625     (Doxygen required)
1626 schoenebeck 715 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
1627     implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
1628     di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
1629     with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
1630     configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
1631 schoenebeck 829 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
1632     provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
1633 schoenebeck 849 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
1634     messages
1635 schoenebeck 852 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
1636     MIDI drivers
1637 schoenebeck 909 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
1638     (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
1639 schoenebeck 697
1640 persson 696 * Gigasampler format engine:
1641 schoenebeck 738 - extensive synthesis optimization
1642     (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
1643     prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
1644     each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
1645 persson 830 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
1646     linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
1647     --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
1648 persson 696 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
1649 persson 729 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
1650     following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
1651     controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
1652 persson 791 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
1653     cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
1654 persson 877 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
1655 schoenebeck 775 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
1656 schoenebeck 781 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
1657     which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
1658 persson 783 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
1659     accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
1660 persson 797 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
1661     time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
1662 persson 799 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
1663 schoenebeck 829 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
1664     - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
1665     all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
1666     altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
1667     mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
1668 persson 832 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
1669     parameter) and crossfade
1670 persson 831 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
1671     parameter
1672 persson 832 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
1673     messages
1674 persson 865 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
1675     instead of the wave chunk
1676     - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
1677     not equal to a power of two
1678 persson 877 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
1679     accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1680     and lowpass turbo.
1681 persson 903 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1682     16 bits anymore
1683     - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1684     aftertouch)
1685 persson 922 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1686     amplifying from 0)
1687 persson 696
1688 schoenebeck 711 * LSCP server:
1689     - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
1690 iliev 793 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
1691     network activity (fixes bug #26)
1692 schoenebeck 826 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
1693     (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
1694 schoenebeck 711
1695 schoenebeck 838 * audio driver:
1696     - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
1697    
1698 schoenebeck 775 * MIDI driver:
1699     - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
1700     messages several times instead of once
1701 schoenebeck 906 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
1702     for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
1703 persson 922 - added checks for bad MIDI data
1704 schoenebeck 775
1705 schoenebeck 900 * linuxsampler application:
1706     - show available sampler engine types on startup
1707    
1708 schoenebeck 705 * general changes:
1709     - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
1710     LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
1711     fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
1712     introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
1713 iliev 716 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
1714     --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
1715     processing of muted channels.
1716 iliev 777 - support for sostenuto pedal
1717 iliev 779 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
1718 iliev 778 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
1719     SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
1720 persson 835 - fixed some memory management errors
1721 persson 841 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
1722     LSCP commands were executed
1723 schoenebeck 925 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
1724     sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
1725 schoenebeck 705
1726 schoenebeck 692 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
1727 schoenebeck 686
1728     * packaging changes:
1729     - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
1730    
1731 schoenebeck 687 * Gigasampler format engine:
1732     - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
1733     disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
1734 schoenebeck 688 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
1735     for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
1736     stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
1737     about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
1738     appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
1739 schoenebeck 687
1740 schoenebeck 677 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
1741 schoenebeck 609
1742     * packaging changes:
1743     - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
1744     (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
1745 schoenebeck 617 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
1746     './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
1747 schoenebeck 654 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
1748     - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
1749     (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
1750 schoenebeck 649
1751     * Gigasampler format engine:
1752     - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
1753     - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
1754     - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
1755     note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
1756     note-off velocity.
1757 schoenebeck 663 - revised voice stealing
1758     (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
1759 schoenebeck 659 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
1760 schoenebeck 668 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
1761     instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
1762     (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
1763     this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
1764 schoenebeck 669 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
1765     (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
1766     resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
1767 schoenebeck 670 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
1768     instrument or audio output device change
