* packaging changes: |
4 |
|
- autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly, |
5 |
|
causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when |
6 |
|
"./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used |
7 |
|
(patch by Alexis Ballier) |
8 |
|
|
9 |
|
* general changes: |
10 |
|
- bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to |
11 |
|
load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field |
12 |
|
(fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu) |
13 |
|
- fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor |
14 |
|
plugin DLL on Windows systems failed |
15 |
|
- fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded |
16 |
|
- optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait |
17 |
|
unnecessarily long after an update |
18 |
|
- added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off |
19 |
|
events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard |
20 |
|
of gigedit) |
21 |
|
- added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above) |
22 |
|
- be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux) |
23 |
|
- fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation |
24 |
|
is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math |
25 |
|
implementation, which is usually faster) |
26 |
|
|
27 |
|
* audio driver: |
28 |
|
- removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to |
29 |
|
max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers |
30 |
|
- JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as |
31 |
|
opposed to the LSCP specs |
32 |
|
- bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK) |
33 |
|
reflected the wrong value |
34 |
|
- fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver |
35 |
|
|
36 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
37 |
|
- added JACK MIDI driver |
38 |
|
|
39 |
|
* instruments database: |
40 |
|
- avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments |
41 |
|
to the instruments database |
42 |
|
|
43 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
44 |
|
- fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted |
45 |
|
while notes were playing |
46 |
|
- made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread |
47 |
|
isn't running |
48 |
|
|
49 |
|
* LSCP server: |
50 |
|
- added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to |
51 |
|
react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only |
52 |
|
Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event) |
53 |
|
- added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to |
54 |
|
react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only |
55 |
|
Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event) |
56 |
|
|
57 |
|
Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007) |
58 |
|
|
59 |
|
* packaging changes: |
60 |
|
- added autoconf checks for pthread library |
61 |
|
- added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled |
62 |
|
glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076) |
63 |
|
- added autoconf checks for MS Windows |
64 |
|
|
65 |
|
* general changes: |
66 |
|
- bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the |
67 |
|
editor closed |
68 |
|
- bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero |
69 |
|
out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after |
70 |
|
decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in |
71 |
|
order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions. |
72 |
|
- bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in |
73 |
|
GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in |
74 |
|
the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any |
75 |
|
bugs. |
76 |
|
- Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in |
77 |
|
24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little |
78 |
|
endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1 |
79 |
|
unaligned 32bit read and shift |
80 |
|
- experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO |
81 |
|
output via ASIO) |
82 |
|
- made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust |
83 |
|
- support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams |
84 |
|
(new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, |
85 |
|
SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT) |
86 |
|
|
87 |
|
* AUDIO driver: |
88 |
|
- added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver |
89 |
|
|
90 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
91 |
|
- added MME Windows MIDI driver |
92 |
|
|
93 |
|
* LSCP server: |
94 |
|
- added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with |
95 |
|
forward slash path separators instead of backslash |
96 |
|
(i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig") |
97 |
|
- allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within |
98 |
|
apostrophes as well |
99 |
|
- added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>", |
100 |
|
"LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and |
101 |
|
"GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations |
102 |
|
about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is |
103 |
|
running on |
104 |
|
|
105 |
|
Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007) |
106 |
|
|
107 |
|
* packaging changes: |
108 |
|
- config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's |
109 |
|
API header files anymore |
110 |
|
- only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to |
111 |
|
the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in) |
112 |
|
- added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now |
113 |
|
capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore |
114 |
|
to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for |
115 |
|
OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
116 |
|
- fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script |
117 |
|
parameters |
118 |
|
- global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the |
119 |
|
C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions |
120 |
|
are now in global_private.h |
121 |
|
- atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore |
122 |
|
- no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files |
123 |
|
- fixed warnings in API doc generation |
124 |
|
|
125 |
|
* general changes: |
126 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
127 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
128 |
|
(MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary |
129 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
130 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
131 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
132 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
133 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
134 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
135 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
136 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
137 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
138 |
|
the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
139 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
140 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
141 |
|
drumkits is possible |
142 |
|
- new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices, |
143 |
|
MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume. |
144 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
145 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
146 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
147 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
148 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
149 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
150 |
|
controllers |
151 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
152 |
|
- Implemented new, improved notification system |
153 |
|
- fixed compilation errors regarding OSX |
154 |
|
(patch by Toshi Nagata) |
155 |
|
- implemented instruments database |
156 |
|
- added support for escape sequences to the instruments database |
157 |
|
- added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing |
158 |
|
within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins), |
159 |
|
you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on |
160 |
|
startup, added a new LSCP command: |
161 |
|
"EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>" |
162 |
|
to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the |
163 |
|
given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile |
164 |
|
time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir |
165 |
|
- added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted |
166 |
|
in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing |
167 |
|
without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions |
168 |
|
wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s) |
169 |
|
- fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling |
170 |
|
policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for |
171 |
|
thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT |
172 |
|
threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of |
173 |
|
setting their own policy and priority |
174 |
|
- minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the |
175 |
|
main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish |
176 |
|
its output |
177 |
|
- fixed some minor memory leaks |
178 |
|
- reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for |
179 |
|
enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2) |
180 |
|
- minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC |
181 |
|
register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime) |
182 |
|
- POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden |
183 |
|
|
184 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
185 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
186 |
|
|
187 |
|
* audio driver: |
188 |
|
- the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct |
189 |
|
parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card |
190 |
|
(patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended) |
191 |
|
|
192 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
193 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
194 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
195 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
196 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
197 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
198 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
199 |
|
command |
200 |
|
- EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash |
201 |
|
- handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB) |
202 |
|
- EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level |
203 |
|
above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase |
204 |
|
even if sustain is 100% |
205 |
|
- more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause |
206 |
|
noises or crashes |
207 |
|
- minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
208 |
|
- fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was |
209 |
|
supplied to the configure script (fixes #46) |
210 |
|
- disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS |
211 |
|
instead of a fix value |
212 |
|
- behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode), |
213 |
|
127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really |
214 |
|
changed |
215 |
|
|
216 |
|
* LSCP server: |
217 |
|
- fixed compile time error for old Bison versions |
218 |
|
(i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata) |
219 |
|
- parser now supports extended ASCII character set |
220 |
|
(up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents) |
221 |
|
- filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape |
222 |
|
sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r, |
223 |
|
\f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII |
224 |
|
code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24) |
225 |
|
- the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at |
226 |
|
least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description): |
227 |
|
"ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT", |
228 |
|
"SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND", |
229 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME", |
230 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME", |
231 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS", |
232 |
|
"FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES" |
233 |
|
- returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error |
234 |
|
occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible |
235 |
|
character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities) |
236 |
|
- made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale |
237 |
|
settings |
238 |
|
- bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists |
239 |
|
of strings were treated as being one string containing commas |
240 |
|
(fixes #57) |
241 |
|
|
242 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
243 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
244 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
245 |
|
channel audio output device" |
246 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine |
247 |
|
on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device |
248 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI |
249 |
|
device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal |
250 |
|
to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected. |
251 |
|
- The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering |
252 |
|
the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for |
253 |
|
unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE). |
254 |
|
- The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect. |
255 |
|
- notification events were not been sent for some sampler |
256 |
|
channel changes |
257 |
|
- added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed |
258 |
|
audio output channels and MIDI input ports |
259 |
|
- the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying |
260 |
|
an audio output device |
261 |
|
- files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded |
262 |
|
|
263 |
|
* test cases: |
264 |
|
- updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while) |
