3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
5          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
6        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
7          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
8          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
9          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
10    
11      * general changes:
12        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
13          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
14          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
15          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
16          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
17          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
18          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
19          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
20          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
21          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
22          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
23          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
24          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
25          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
26          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
27          drumkits is possible
28        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
29          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
30        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
31          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
32          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
33        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
34          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
35          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
36          controllers
37        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
38        - Implemented new, improved notification system
39        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
40          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
41        - implemented instruments database
42    
43      * MIDI driver:
44        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
45    
46      * audio driver:
47        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
48          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
49          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
50    
51      * Gigasampler format engine:
52        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
53          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
54          voice starvation for some gigs)
55        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
56        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
57          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
58          command
59        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
60        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
61        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
62          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
63          even if sustain is 100%
64        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
65          noises or crashes
66        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
67    
68      * Bug fixes:
69        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
70        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
71          channel audio output device"
