|
- added autoconf checks for pthread library |
5 |
|
- added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled |
6 |
|
glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076) |
7 |
|
- added autoconf checks for MS Windows |
8 |
|
|
9 |
|
* general changes: |
10 |
|
- bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the |
11 |
|
editor closed |
12 |
|
- bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero |
13 |
|
out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after |
14 |
|
decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in |
15 |
|
order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions. |
16 |
|
- bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in |
17 |
|
GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in |
18 |
|
the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any |
19 |
|
bugs. |
20 |
|
- Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in |
21 |
|
24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little |
22 |
|
endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1 |
23 |
|
unaligned 32bit read and shift |
24 |
|
- experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO |
25 |
|
output via ASIO) |
26 |
|
- made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust |
27 |
|
- support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams |
28 |
|
(new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, |
29 |
|
SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT) |
30 |
|
|
31 |
|
* AUDIO driver: |
32 |
|
- added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver |
33 |
|
|
34 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
35 |
|
- added MME Windows MIDI driver |
36 |
|
|
37 |
|
* LSCP server: |
38 |
|
- added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with |
39 |
|
forward slash path separators instead of backslash |
40 |
|
(i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig") |
41 |
|
- allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within |
42 |
|
apostrophes as well |
43 |
|
- added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>", |
44 |
|
"LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and |
45 |
|
"GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations |
46 |
|
about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is |
47 |
|
running on |
48 |
|
|
49 |
|
Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007) |
50 |
|
|
51 |
|
* packaging changes: |
52 |
|
- config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's |
53 |
|
API header files anymore |
54 |
|
- only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to |
55 |
|
the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in) |
56 |
|
- added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now |
57 |
|
capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore |
58 |
|
to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for |
59 |
|
OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
60 |
|
- fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script |
61 |
|
parameters |
62 |
|
- global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the |
63 |
|
C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions |
64 |
|
are now in global_private.h |
65 |
|
- atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore |
66 |
|
- no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files |
67 |
|
- fixed warnings in API doc generation |
68 |
|
|
69 |
|
* general changes: |
70 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
71 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
72 |
|
(MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary |
73 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
74 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
75 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
76 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
77 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
78 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
79 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
80 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
81 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
82 |
|
the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
83 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
84 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
85 |
|
drumkits is possible |
86 |
|
- new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices, |
87 |
|
MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume. |
88 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
89 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
90 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
91 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
92 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
93 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
94 |
|
controllers |
95 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
96 |
|
- Implemented new, improved notification system |
97 |
|
- fixed compilation errors regarding OSX |
98 |
|
(patch by Toshi Nagata) |
99 |
|
- implemented instruments database |
100 |
|
- added support for escape sequences to the instruments database |
101 |
|
- added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing |
102 |
|
within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins), |
103 |
|
you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on |
104 |
|
startup, added a new LSCP command: |
105 |
|
"EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>" |
106 |
|
to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the |
107 |
|
given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile |
108 |
|
time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir |
109 |
|
- added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted |
110 |
|
in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing |
111 |
|
without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions |
112 |
|
wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s) |
113 |
|
- fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling |
114 |
|
policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for |
115 |
|
thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT |
116 |
|
threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of |
117 |
|
setting their own policy and priority |
118 |
|
- minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the |
119 |
|
main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish |
120 |
|
its output |
121 |
|
- fixed some minor memory leaks |
122 |
|
- reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for |
123 |
|
enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2) |
124 |
|
- minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC |
125 |
|
register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime) |
126 |
|
- POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden |
127 |
|
|
128 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
129 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
130 |
|
|
131 |
|
* audio driver: |
132 |
|
- the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct |
133 |
|
parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card |
134 |
|
(patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended) |
135 |
|
|
136 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
137 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
138 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
139 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
140 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
141 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
142 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
143 |
|
command |
144 |
|
- EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash |
145 |
|
- handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB) |
146 |
|
- EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level |
147 |
|
above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase |
148 |
|
even if sustain is 100% |
149 |
|
- more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause |
150 |
|
noises or crashes |
151 |
|
- minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
152 |
|
- fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was |
153 |
|
supplied to the configure script (fixes #46) |
154 |
|
- disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS |
155 |
|
instead of a fix value |
156 |
|
- behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode), |
157 |
|
127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really |
158 |
|
changed |
159 |
|
|
160 |
|
* LSCP server: |
161 |
|
- fixed compile time error for old Bison versions |
162 |
|
(i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata) |
163 |
|
- parser now supports extended ASCII character set |
164 |
|
(up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents) |
165 |
|
- filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape |
166 |
|
sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r, |
167 |
|
\f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII |
168 |
|
code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24) |
169 |
|
- the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at |
170 |
|
least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description): |
171 |
|
"ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT", |
172 |
|
"SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND", |
173 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME", |
174 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME", |
175 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS", |
176 |
|
"FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES" |
177 |
|
- returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error |
178 |
|
occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible |
179 |
|
character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities) |
180 |
|
- made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale |
181 |
|
settings |
182 |
|
- bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists |
183 |
|
of strings were treated as being one string containing commas |
184 |
|
(fixes #57) |
185 |
|
|
186 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
187 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
188 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
189 |
|
channel audio output device" |
190 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine |
191 |
|
on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device |
192 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI |
193 |
|
device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal |
194 |
|
to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected. |
195 |
|
- The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering |
196 |
|
the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for |
197 |
|
unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE). |
198 |
|
- The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect. |
199 |
|
- notification events were not been sent for some sampler |
200 |
|
channel changes |
201 |
|
- added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed |
202 |
|
audio output channels and MIDI input ports |
203 |
|
- the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying |
204 |
|
an audio output device |
205 |
|
- files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded |
206 |
|
|
207 |
|
* test cases: |
208 |
|
- updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while) |
