2    
3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
6        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
7        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
8          doing "make dist"
9        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
10        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
11        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
12        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
13        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
14          directories are separate
15        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
16          configure
17        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
18        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
19        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
20        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
21          gcc 4.7 and C++11
22        - modernized configure script
23        - fixed linkage error when building with
24          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
25        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
26        - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES
27    
28      * general changes:
29        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
30          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
31        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
32          respective profiling code is currently broken
33        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
34          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
35          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
36          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
38        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
39        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
40          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
41          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
42          effect type is)
43        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
44          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
45          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
46          effect type is)
47        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
48        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
49          (as suggested by Alex Stone)

56          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
57          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
58          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
59        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
60        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().

65          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
66          series (#182)

68          used it everywhere appropriate
69

73          dimension zones is not a power of two
74        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
75          key
76        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
77        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
78        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
79          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
80        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
81          min value
82        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
83          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
84        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
85

259          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
260        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
261        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
262          64 bit Windows

274        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
275        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present

278        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
279        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
280          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.

297        - MME: removed compiler warning
298        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
299          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
300          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
301        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
302          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
303          (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
304        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
305        - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error

318    
319      * LSCP server:
320        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command

355    
356      * Bug fixes:
357        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
358        - minor valgrind fixes
359        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
360          channel to a different engine type
361        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
362          type while an instrument load was in progress
363        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
364          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
365        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
366          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
367        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
368          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
369        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
370        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
371          it caused hanging threads on Windows
372        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
373          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
374        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
375          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
376          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
377          instrument was completely reloaded again.
378        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
379          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
380          project, slightly adjusted)
381        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
382          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

390        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
391        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
392        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
393          introduced in previous fix)
394        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
395          playing a note in a key group
396        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
397          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
398        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
399          crashes and noise on such transitions).
400    
401    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
402    
403      * packaging changes:
404        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
405          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
406          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
407          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
408        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
409        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
410        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
411        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
412        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
413        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
414        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
415        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
416          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
417          directory above)
418        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
419        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
420        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
421        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
422    
423      * general changes:
424        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
425          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
426          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
427        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
428          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
429        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
430        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
431          unnecessarily long after an update
432        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
433          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
434          of gigedit)
435        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
436        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
437        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
438          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
439          implementation, which is usually faster)
440        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
441        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
442          VST plugin
443        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
444          only when there are actual changes
445        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
446          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
447        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
448        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
449        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
450          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
451          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
452        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
453          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
454        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
455          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
456          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
457          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
458        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
459          model more strictly
460        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
461        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
462          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
463          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
464    
465      * audio driver:
466        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
467          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
468        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
469          opposed to the LSCP specs
470        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
471          reflected the wrong value
472        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
473        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
474        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
475          jack_client_new
476        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
477        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
478          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
479          (fixes #117)
480        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
481          win64)
482        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
483        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
484        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
485        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
486          energyXT)
487        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
488          stereo
489        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
490          stored in the plugin state
491        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
492          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
493          (if available)
494        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
495          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
496    
497      * MIDI driver:
498        - added JACK MIDI driver
499        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
500          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
501          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
502        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
503          CoreMidi or AU
504        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
505        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
506          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
507        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
508    
509      * instruments database:
510        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
511          to the instruments database
512        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
513        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
514          in the instruments database
515          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
516        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
517          instrument database compilable
518        - added instrument database support on Windows
519          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
520          the instruments DB file is located in
521          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
522          databases for each windows user
523          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
524          and then creates an empty DB
525        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
526    
527      * Gigasampler format engine:
528        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
529          while notes were playing
530        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
531          isn't running
532        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
533          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
534        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
535          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
536        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
537          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
538          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
539          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
540          on)
541        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
542          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
543          be played
544        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
545          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
546          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
547          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
548          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
549          defined for the sampler
550        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
551          audio thread isn't running
552        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
553        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
554          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
555          sampler engine anymore
556        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
557          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
558        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
559          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
560          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
561        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
562          instrument-level gig parameters
563        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
564        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
565        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
566        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
567        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
568          note was silent
569        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
570          same time a new instrument was loading
571    
572      * LSCP server:
573        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
574          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
575          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
576        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
577          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
578          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
579        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
580          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
581        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
582          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
583        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
584          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
585        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
586          was incorrect
587        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
588        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
589          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
590          be triggered respectively
591        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
592          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
593          which will be triggered respectively
594        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
595          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
596        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
597        - hard close of all sockets on exit
598        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
599          driver
600    
601      * Bug fixes:
602        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
603          to start instrument loading after another channel
604        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
605          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
606        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
607          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
608        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
609        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
610          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
611          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
612          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
613          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
614        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
615        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
616        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
617          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
618        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
619        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
620          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
621        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
622          plugin was unloaded
623        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
624          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
625        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
626          Windows
627    
628    
629    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
630    
631      * packaging changes:
632        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
633        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
634          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
635        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
636    
637      * general changes:
638        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
639          editor closed
640        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
641          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
642          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
643          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
644        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
645          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
646          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
647          bugs.
648        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
649          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
650          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
651          unaligned 32bit read and shift
652        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
653          output via ASIO)
654        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
655        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
656          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
657          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
658    
659      * AUDIO driver:
660        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
661    
662      * MIDI driver:
663        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
664    
665      * LSCP server:
666        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
667          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
668          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
669        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
670          apostrophes as well
671        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
672          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
673          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
674          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
675          running on
676    
677    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
678    
679      * packaging changes:
680        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
681          API header files anymore
682      - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to      - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
683        the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)        the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)

688        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
689          parameters
690        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
691          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
692          are now in global_private.h
693        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
694        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
695        - fixed warnings in API doc generation

727      - implemented instruments database      - implemented instruments database
728        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
729        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
730          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
731          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
732          startup, added a new LSCP command:
733          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
734          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
735          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
736          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
737        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
738          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
739          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
740          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
741        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
742          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
743          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
744          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
745          setting their own policy and priority
746        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
747          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
748          its output
749        - fixed some minor memory leaks
750        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
751          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
752        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
753          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
754        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden

780        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
781          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
782        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
783          instead of a fix value
784        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
785          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
786          changed

788      * LSCP server:
789        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
790          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
791        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
792          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
793        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
794          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
795          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
796          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
797        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
798          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
799          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
800          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
801          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
802          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
803          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
804          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
805        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
806          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
807          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
808        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
809          settings
810        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
811          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
812          (fixes #57)

816      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
817        channel audio output device"        channel audio output device"
818        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
819          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
820        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
821          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
822          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
823        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
824          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
825          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
826        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
827        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
828          channel changes
829        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
830          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
831        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
832          an audio output device
833        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
834
