# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * SFZ format engine:
4        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
5        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
6        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
7          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
8        - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
9        - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
10    
11      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
12        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
13          cutoff settings.
14    
15      * general changes:
16        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
17        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
18        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
19          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
20        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
21          position within a list.
22        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
23          a raw element pointer.
24        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
25          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
26          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
27          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
28        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
29          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
30          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
31          script features.
32        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
33          (CC #64) events.
34        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
35          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
36        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
37          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
38          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
39        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
40          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
41        - Added new C++ API method
42          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
43        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
44          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
45        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
46        - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
47    
48      * packaging changes:
49        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
50          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
51        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
52          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
53    
54      * Real-time instrument scripts:
55        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
56        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
57          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
58          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
59        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
60          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
61          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
62          microseconds.
63        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
64          potentially causing undefined behavior.
65        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
66          variable.
67        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
68          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
69          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
70        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
71        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
72          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
73          script editor applications.
74        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
75        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
76          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
77          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
78        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
79          editor.
80        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
81          like "on note end on".
82        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
83        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
84        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
85        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
86        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
87        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
88        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
89          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
90          "event_status()" function.
91        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
92          and ".not.".
93        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
94          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
95        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
96        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
97          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
98          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
99        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
100        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
101        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
102        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
103        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
104        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
105        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
106        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
107          associative instead of left (to right).
108        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
109          (i.e. "if end if").
110        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
111        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
112        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
113        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
114        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
115          handled by the script parser).
116        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
117        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
118        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
119        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".
120        - NKSP Language: Added support for user defined script functions.
121        - Implemented built-in script function "change_attack()".
122        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
123        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
124        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
125          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
126          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
127          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
128          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
129          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
130        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
131        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
132        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
133        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
134        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
135          was loaded.
136        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
137          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
138          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
139          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
140        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
141          threatening scripts.
142        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
143        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
144          initializer list to an array variable.
145        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
146        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".
147        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_depth()".
148        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_freq()".
149        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_depth()".
150        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
151        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_time()".
152        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_time()".
153        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_in()".
154        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_out()".
155        - Fixed acceptance of wrong data type of parameters passed to built-in
156          script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
157          "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
158          "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
159          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
160        - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
161          of its possible parameter selections.
162        - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
163          of its possible parameter selections.
164        - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
165        - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
166        - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
167          built-in function "ignore_controller()".
168        - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
169        - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
170        - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
171          intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
172          "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
173          assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
174          timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
175          changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
176          relevant).
177         - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
178         - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
179         - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".
180         - NKSP Fix: Never suspend "init" event handlers.
181         - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
182           available for gig format engine).
183         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
184         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
185         - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
186         - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
187         - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
188           offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
189           sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
190    
191      * Instruments DB:
192        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
193          undefined behavior.
194        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
195        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
196          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
197        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
198        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
199        - Fixed undefined DB transaction behavior.
200    
201    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)

208          doing "make dist"
209        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
210        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
211        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
212        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
213        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
214          directories are separate
215        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
216          configure
217        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
218        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
219        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions

222        - modernized configure script
223        - fixed linkage error when building with
224          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)

234        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
235        - support building with older jack versions
236        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
237        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
238          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
239          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
240    
241      * general changes:
242        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
243          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
244        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
245          respective profiling code is currently broken
246        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
247          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
248          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
249          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
250        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
251        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
252        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
253          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
254          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
255          effect type is)
256        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
257          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
258          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
259          effect type is)
260        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
261        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
262          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
263        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
264        - experimental support for per voice equalization
265        - added command line option --exec-after-init
266        - Introduced new C++ API method:
267          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
268          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
269          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
270          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
271          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
272        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
273        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
274        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
275        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
276        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
277        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
278          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
279          series (#182)
280        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
281          used it everywhere appropriate
282        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
283        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
284          SysEx way).
285        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
286          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
287          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
288        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
289        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
290          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
291          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
292          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
293          backward compatibility).
294        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
295          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
296        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
297        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
298          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
299        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
300        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
301        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
302        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
303          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
304          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
305          used so far).
306        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
307          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
308          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
309          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
310    
311      * Gigasampler format engine:
312        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
313        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
314          dimension zones is not a power of two
315        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
316          key
317        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
318        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
319        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
320          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
321        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
322          min value
323        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
324          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
325        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
326        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
327        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
328          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
329        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
330    
331      * SFZ format engine:
332        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
333        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
334        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
335          one from the gig engine
336        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
337        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
338        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
339        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
340        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
341          multiple regions
342        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
343          more compatible
344        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
345        - added support for off_mode=normal
346        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
347        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
348        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
349        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
350        - added support for transpose
351        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
352        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
353        - added more v1 aliases to parser
354        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
355        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
356        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
357        - optimized sample lookup
358        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
359          off_mode)
360        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
361        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
362        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
363        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
364        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
365          not set in sfz file
366        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
367          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,
368          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,
369          cutoff_cc, cutoff_chanaft.
370        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work
371        - added support for velocity effect on amplifier envelope time
372          (ampeg_vel2attack, ampeg_vel2decay, ampeg_vel2sustain and
373          ampeg_vel2release)
374        - added support for EG hold (ampeg_hold)

511        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
512        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on

691        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
692        - minor valgrind fixes
693        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
694          channel to a different engine type
695        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
696          type while an instrument load was in progress
697        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
698          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
699        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
700          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
701        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
702          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
703        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
704        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
705          it caused hanging threads on Windows
706        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
707          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
708        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
709          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
710          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
711          instrument was completely reloaded again.
712        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
713          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
714          project, slightly adjusted)
715        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
716          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
717        - fixed bug #162
718        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
719          multiple paths (#165)
720        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
721        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
722          (#176)
723        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
724        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
725        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
726        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
727          introduced in previous fix)
728        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
729          playing a note in a key group
730        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
731          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
732        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
733          crashes and noise on such transitions).
734        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
735          (fixes #208)
736        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
737          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
738          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
739          shell's auto completion feature).
740        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
741          after each other (fixes #231).
742    
743    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
744    
745      * packaging changes:
746        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
747          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
748          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
749          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
750        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
751        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
752        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
753        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
754        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
755        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
756        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
757        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
758          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
759          directory above)
760        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
761        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
762        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
763        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
764    
765      * general changes:
766        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
767          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
768          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
769        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
770          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
771        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
772        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
773          unnecessarily long after an update
774        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
775          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
776          of gigedit)
777        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
778        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
779        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
780          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
781          implementation, which is usually faster)
782        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
783        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
784          VST plugin
785        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
786          only when there are actual changes
787        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
788          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
789        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
790        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
791        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
792          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
793          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
794        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
795          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
796        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
797          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
798          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
799          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
800        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
801          model more strictly
802        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
803        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
804          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
805          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
806        - updated linuxsampler man page
807    
808      * audio driver:
809        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
810          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
811        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
812          opposed to the LSCP specs
813        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
814          reflected the wrong value
815        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
816        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
817        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
818          jack_client_new
819        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
820        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
821          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
822          (fixes #117)
823        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
824          win64)
825        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
826        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
827        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
828        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
829          energyXT)
830        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
831          stereo
832        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
833          stored in the plugin state
834        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
835          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
836          (if available)
837        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
838          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
839    
840      * MIDI driver:
841        - added JACK MIDI driver
842        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
843          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
844          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
845        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
846          CoreMidi or AU
847        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
848        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
849          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
850        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
851    
852      * instruments database:
853        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
854          to the instruments database
855        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
856        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
857          in the instruments database
858          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
859        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
860          instrument database compilable
861        - added instrument database support on Windows
862          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
863          the instruments DB file is located in
864          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
865          databases for each windows user
866          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
867          and then creates an empty DB
868        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
869    
870      * Gigasampler format engine:
871        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
872          while notes were playing
873        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
874          isn't running
875        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
876          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
877        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
878          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
879        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
880          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
881          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
882          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
883          on)
884        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
885          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
886          be played
887        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
888          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
889          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
890          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
891          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
892          defined for the sampler
893        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
894          audio thread isn't running
895        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
896        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
897          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
898          sampler engine anymore
899        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
900          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
901        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
902          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
903          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
904        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
905          instrument-level gig parameters
906        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
907        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
908        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
909        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
910        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
911          note was silent
912        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
913          same time a new instrument was loading
914    
915      * LSCP server:
916        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
917          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
918          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
919        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
920          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
921          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
922        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
923          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
924        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
925          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
926        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
927          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
928        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
929          was incorrect
930        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
931        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
932          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
933          be triggered respectively
934        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
935          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
936          which will be triggered respectively
937        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
938          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
939        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
940        - hard close of all sockets on exit
941        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
942          driver
943    
944      * Bug fixes:
945        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
946          to start instrument loading after another channel
947        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
948          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
949        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
950          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
951        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
952        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
953          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
954          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
955          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
956          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
957        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
958        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
959        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
960          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
961        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
962        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
963          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
964        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
965          plugin was unloaded
966        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
967          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
968        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
969          Windows
970    
971    
972    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
973    
974      * packaging changes:
975        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
976        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
977          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
978        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
979    
980      * general changes:
981        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
982          editor closed
983        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
984          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
985          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
986          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
987        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
988          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
989          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
990          bugs.
991        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
992          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
993          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
994          unaligned 32bit read and shift
995        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
996          output via ASIO)
997        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
998        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
999          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1000          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
1001    
1002      * AUDIO driver:
1003        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
1004    
1005      * MIDI driver:
1006        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
1007    
1008      * LSCP server:
1009        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1010          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1011          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1012        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1013          apostrophes as well
1014        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1015          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1016          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1017          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
1018          running on
1019    
1020    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
1021    
1022      * packaging changes:
1023        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
1024          API header files anymore
1025        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
1026          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
1027        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
1028          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
1029          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
1030          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1031        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
1032          parameters
1033        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
1034          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
1035          are now in global_private.h
1036        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
1037        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
1038        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
1039

1067        - Implemented new, improved notification system
1068        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
1069          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1070        - implemented instruments database
1071        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
1072        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
1073          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
1074          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
1075          startup, added a new LSCP command:
1076          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
1077          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
1078          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
1079          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
1080        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
1081          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
1082          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
1083          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
1084        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
1085          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
1086          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
1087          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
1088          setting their own policy and priority
1089        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
1090          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
1091          its output
1092        - fixed some minor memory leaks
1093        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
1094          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
1095        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
1096          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
1097        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
1098    
1099    * MIDI driver:    * MIDI driver:
1100      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
1101    
1102      * audio driver:
1103        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
1104          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
1105          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
1106    
1107    * Gigasampler format engine:    * Gigasampler format engine:
1108      - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice      - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
1109        die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and        die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
1110        voice starvation for some gigs)        voice starvation for some gigs)
1111        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
1112        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
1113          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
1114          command
1115        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
1116        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
1117        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
1118          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
1119          even if sustain is 100%
1120        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
1121          noises or crashes
1122        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1123        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
1124          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
1125        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
1126          instead of a fix value
1127        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
1128          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
1129          changed
1130    
1131      * LSCP server:
1132        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
1133          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
1134        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
1135          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
1136        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
1137          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
1138          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
1139          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
1140        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
1141          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
1142          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
1143          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
1144          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
1145          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
1146          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
1147          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
1148        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
1149          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1150          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1151        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1152          settings
1153        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
1154          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
1155          (fixes #57)
1156    
1157    * Bug fixes:    * Bug fixes:
1158      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
1159        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
1160          channel audio output device"
1161        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
1162          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
1163        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
1164          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1165          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1166        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1167          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1168          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1169        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1170        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1171          channel changes
1172        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1173          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1174        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1175          an audio output device
1176        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
1177    
1178      * test cases:
1179        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
