3      * plugin changes:
4        - LV2 Persist + Files support (patch by David Robillard)
5    
6      * packaging changes:
7        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
8        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
9        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
10        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
11          doing "make dist"
12        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
13        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
14        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
15        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
16        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
17          directories are separate

19          configure
20        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
21    
22      * general changes:
23        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
24          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
25        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
26          respective profiling code is currently broken
27        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
28          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
29          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
30          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).

32        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
33        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
34          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
35          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
36          effect type is)
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
38          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40          effect type is)
41        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
42        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
43          (as suggested by Alex Stone)

49          dimension zones is not a power of two
50        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
51          key
52    
53      * SFZ format engine:
54        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
55        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators

190        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
191        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after

253          channel to a different engine type
254        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
255          type while an instrument load was in progress
256        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
257          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
258        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
259          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
260        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
261          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
262        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
263        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
264          it caused hanging threads on Windows
265        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
266          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
267        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
268          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
269          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
270          instrument was completely reloaded again.
271        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
272          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
273          project, slightly adjusted)
274    
275    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
276    
277      * packaging changes:
278        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
279          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
280          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
281          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
282        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
283        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
284        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
285        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
286        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
287        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
288        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
289        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
290          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
291          directory above)
292        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
293        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
294        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
295        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
296    
297      * general changes:
298        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
299          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
300          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
301        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
302          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
303        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
304        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
305          unnecessarily long after an update
306        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
307          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
308          of gigedit)
309        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
310        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
311        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
312          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
313          implementation, which is usually faster)
314        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
315        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
316          VST plugin
317        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
318          only when there are actual changes
319        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
320          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
321        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
322        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
323        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
324          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
325          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
326        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
327          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
328        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
329          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
330          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
331          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
332        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
333          model more strictly
334        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
335        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
336          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
337          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
338    
339      * audio driver:
340        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
341          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
342        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
343          opposed to the LSCP specs
344        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
345          reflected the wrong value
346        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
347        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used

349          jack_client_new
350        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
351        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
352          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
353          (fixes #117)
354        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
355          win64)
356        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
357        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
358        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
359        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
360          energyXT)
361        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
362          stereo
363        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
364          stored in the plugin state
365        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
366          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
367          (if available)
368        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
369          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
370    
371      * MIDI driver:
372        - added JACK MIDI driver
373        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
374          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
375          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
376        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
377          CoreMidi or AU
378        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
379        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
380          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
381        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
382    
383      * instruments database:
384        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
385          to the instruments database
386        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
387        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
388          in the instruments database
389          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
390        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
391          instrument database compilable
392        - added instrument database support on Windows
393          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
394          the instruments DB file is located in
395          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
396          databases for each windows user
397          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
398          and then creates an empty DB
399        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
400    
401      * Gigasampler format engine:
402        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
403          while notes were playing
404        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
405          isn't running
406        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
407          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
408        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
409          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
410        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
411          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
412          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
413          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
414          on)
415        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
416          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
417          be played
418        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
419          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
420          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
421          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
422          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
423          defined for the sampler
424        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
425          audio thread isn't running
426        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
427        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
428          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
429          sampler engine anymore
430        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
431          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
432        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
433          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
434          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
435        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
436          instrument-level gig parameters
437        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
438        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
439        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
440        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
441        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
442          note was silent
443        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
444          same time a new instrument was loading
445    
446      * LSCP server:
447        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
448          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
449          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
450        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
451          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
452          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
453        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
454          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
455        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
456          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
457        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
458          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
459        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
460          was incorrect
461        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
462        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
463          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
464          be triggered respectively
465        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
466          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
467          which will be triggered respectively
468        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
469          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
470        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
471        - hard close of all sockets on exit
472        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
473          driver
474    
475      * Bug fixes:
476        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
477          to start instrument loading after another channel
478        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
479          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
480        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
481          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
482        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
483        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
484          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
485          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
486          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
487          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
488        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
489        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
490        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
491          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
492        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
493        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
494          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
495        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
496          plugin was unloaded
497        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
498          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
499        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
500          Windows
501    
502    
503    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
504    
505      * packaging changes:
506        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
507        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
508          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
509        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
510    
511      * general changes:
512        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
513          editor closed
514        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
515          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
516          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
517          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
518        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
519          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
520          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
521          bugs.
522        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
523          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
524          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
525          unaligned 32bit read and shift
526        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
527          output via ASIO)
528        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
529        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
530          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
531          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
532    
533      * AUDIO driver:
534        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
535    
536      * MIDI driver:
537        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
538    
539      * LSCP server:
540        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
541          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
542          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
543        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
544          apostrophes as well
545        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
546          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
547          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
548          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
549          running on
550    
551    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
552    
553      * packaging changes:
554        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
555          API header files anymore
556        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
557          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
558        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
559          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
560          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
561          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
562        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
563          parameters
564        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
565          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
566          are now in global_private.h
567        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
568        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
569        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
570

598        - Implemented new, improved notification system
599        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
600          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
601        - implemented instruments database
602        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
603        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
604          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
605          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
606          startup, added a new LSCP command:
607          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
608          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
609          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
610          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
611        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
612          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
613          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
614          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
615        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
616          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
617          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
618          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
619          setting their own policy and priority
620        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
621          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
622          its output
623        - fixed some minor memory leaks
624        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
625          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
626        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
627          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
628        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
629    
630    * MIDI driver:    * MIDI driver:
631      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
632    
633      * audio driver:
634        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
635          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
636          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)

646        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
647        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
648        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
649          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
650          even if sustain is 100%
651        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
652          noises or crashes
653        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
654        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
655          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
656        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
657          instead of a fix value
658        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
659          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
660          changed
661    
662      * LSCP server:
663        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
664          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
665        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
666          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
667        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
668          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
669          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
670          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
671        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
672          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
673          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
674          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
675          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
676          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
677          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
678          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
679        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
680          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
681          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
682        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
683          settings
684        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
685          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
686          (fixes #57)
687    
688    * Bug fixes:    * Bug fixes:
689      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
690      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
691        channel audio output device"        channel audio output device"
692        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
693          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
694        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
695          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
696          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
697        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
698          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
699          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
700        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
701        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
702          channel changes
703        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
704          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
705        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
706          an audio output device
707        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
708    
709      * test cases:
710        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
