3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
5        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
6          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
7    
8      * general changes:
9        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
10          editor closed
11        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h:
12          fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero out all the space
13          operator--() did not apply size_mask after decrementing the read_ptr
14          DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in order to avoid problems with
15            the _NonVolatileReader functions.
16         - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in GetWriteSpace()
17           since this function is currently only used in the stream's
18           qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any bugs
19         Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h:
20           cubic interpolation now works in 24bit mode too
21           faster method to read 24bit words on little endian machines (x86):
22           replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1 unaligned 32bit read and shift
23    
24      * AUDIO driver:
25        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
26    
27      * MIDI driver:
28        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
29    
30      * LSCP server:
31        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
32          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
33          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
34        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
35          apostrophes as well
36    
37    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
38    
39      * packaging changes:
40        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
41          API header files anymore
42      - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to      - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to

48        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
49          parameters
50        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
51          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
52          are now in global_private.h
53        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
54        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
55        - fixed warnings in API doc generation

85      - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX      - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
86        (patch by Toshi Nagata)        (patch by Toshi Nagata)
87      - implemented instruments database      - implemented instruments database
88        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
89        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
90          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
91          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
92          startup, added a new LSCP command:
93          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
94          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
95          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
96          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
97        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
98          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
99          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
100          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
101        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
102          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
103          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
104          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
105          setting their own policy and priority
106        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
107          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
108          its output
109        - fixed some minor memory leaks
110        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
111          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
112        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
113          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
114        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
115    
116    * MIDI driver:    * MIDI driver:
117      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages

142        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
143          instead of a fix value
144        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
145          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
146          changed
147    
148      * LSCP server:
149        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
150          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
151        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
152          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
153        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
154          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
155          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
156          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
157        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
158          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
159          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
160          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
161          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
162          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
163          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
164          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
165        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
166          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
167          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
168        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
169          settings
170        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
171          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
172          (fixes #57)
173    
174    * Bug fixes:    * Bug fixes:
175      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
176      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
177        channel audio output device"        channel audio output device"
178        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
179          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
180        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
181          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
182          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
183        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
184          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
185          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
186        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
187        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
188          channel changes
189        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
190          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
191        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
192          an audio output device
193        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
194    
195      * test cases:
196        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
