# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * general changes:
4        - Fixed compiler error in Pool.h.
5    
6      * test cases:
7        - Fixed compiler errors in test cases.
8        - Updated README for how to compile & run test cases.
9        - Updated test case
10          MutexTest::testDoubleLockStillBlocksConcurrentThread() to latest
11          expected behaviour of the Mutex class implementation (recursive
12          mutex type).
13    
14    Version 2.1.1 (27 Jul 2019)
15    
16      * Real-time instrument scripts:
17        - Fixed behavior of built-in NKSP functions change_sustain(),
18          change_cutoff_attack(), change_cutoff_decay(), change_cutoff_sustain()
19          and change_cutoff_release().
20    
21      * general changes:
22        - Only play release trigger samples on sustain pedal up if this behaviour
23          was explicitly requested by the instrument (otherwise only on note-off).
24        - Fixed compiler warnings.
25        - Fixed compilation error when cross-compiling to Mac.
26        - FX Sends: Provide more useful error messages on routing problems
27          (see bug #169).
28        - LSCP doc: Be more clear describing the two distinct approaches
29          of using external vs. internal effects (see bug #169).
30        - "optional" class: Fixed comparison operators.
31    
32      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
33        - Format extension: If requested by instrument then don't play release
34          trigger sample on note-off events.
35    
36      * SFZ format engine:
37        - Fixed memory leak when releasing samples
38          (fixes bug #307, patch by Jacek Roszkowski)
39        - Fixed potential crash when a sample is shared by more than one region
40          (fixes bug #308, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
41        - Opcode 'sample': Added support for built-in sample '*silence'
42          (fixes bug #310, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
43    
44    Version 2.1.0 (25 Nov 2017)
45    
46      * SFZ format engine:
47        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
48        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
49        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
50          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
51        - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
52        - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
53        - sfz parser: allow missing space between header and opcode
54    
55      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
56        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
57          cutoff settings.
58        - Got rid of resembling an ancient GSt misbehavior which did not pitch at
59          all if an up-pitch of more than 40 semi tones was requested (I don't
60          think there is any stock gig sound that requires this behavior to
61          resemble its original sound).
62        - Added support for controlling whether the individual EGADSR stages may
63          be aborted (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4
64          format).
65    
66      * general changes:
67        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
68        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
69        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
70          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
71        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
72          position within a list.
73        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
74          a raw element pointer.
75        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
76          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
77          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
78          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
79        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
80          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
81          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
82          script features.
83        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
84          (CC #64) events.
85        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
86          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
87        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
88          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
89          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
90        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
91          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
92        - Added new C++ API method
93          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
94        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
95          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
96        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
97        - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
98        - Revised fundamental C++ classes "Thread", "Mutex" and "Condition" which
99          fixes potential undefined behavior.
100        - Fixed Note object leak when triggering notes on keys which did not
101          have a valid sample mapped (fixes bug #252).
102        - Fixed compilation errors when compiling with CONFIG_DEVMODE enabled.
103        - linuxsampler binary fix: option --create-instruments-db ignored
104          subsequent optional argument due to glibc's implementation oddity
105          which expects a "=" sign, but no space between them.
106    
107      * packaging changes:
108        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
109          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
110        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
111          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
112        - Debian: Fixed packaging error about invalid "Source-Version"
113          substitution variable.
114        - Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch".
115        - Debian: Added build dependency to libsqlite3-dev for building
116          linuxsampler with instruments DB support.
117    
118      * Real-time instrument scripts:
119        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
120        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
121          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
122          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
123        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
124          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
125          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
126          microseconds.
127        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
128          potentially causing undefined behavior.
129        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
130          variable.
131        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
132          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
133          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
134        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
135        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
136          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
137          script editor applications.
138        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
139        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
140          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
141          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
142        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
143          editor.
144        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
145          like "on note end on".
146        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
147        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
148        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
149        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
150        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
151        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
152        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
153          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
154          "event_status()" function.
155        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
156          and ".not.".
157        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
158          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
159        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
160        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
161          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
162          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
163        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
164        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
165        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
166        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
167        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
168        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
169        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
170        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
171          associative instead of left (to right).
172        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
173          (i.e. "if end if").
174        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
175        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
176        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
177        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
178        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
179          handled by the script parser).
180        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
181        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
182        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
183        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".

186        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
187        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
188        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
189          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
190          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
191          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
192          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
193          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
194        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
195        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
196        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
197        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
198        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
199          was loaded.
200        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
201          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
202          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
203          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
204        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
205          threatening scripts.
206        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
207        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
208          initializer list to an array variable.
209        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
210        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".
211        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_depth()".
212        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_freq()".
213        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_depth()".
214        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
215        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_time()".
216        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_time()".
217        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_in()".
218        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_out()".
219        - Fixed acceptance of wrong data type of parameters passed to built-in
220          script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
221          "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
222          "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
223          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
224        - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
225          of its possible parameter selections.
226        - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
227          of its possible parameter selections.
228        - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
229        - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
230        - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
231          built-in function "ignore_controller()".
232        - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
233        - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
234        - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
235          intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
236          "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
237          assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
238          timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
239          changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
240          relevant).
241         - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
242         - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
243         - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".
244         - NKSP Fix: Never suspend "init" event handlers.
245         - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
246           available for gig format engine).
247         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
248         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
249         - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
250         - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
251         - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
252           offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
253           sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
254         - Built-in array variable %KEY_DOWN[] is now a read-only variable.
255         - Built-in variable $EVENT_NOTE is now a read-only variable.
256         - Built-in variable $EVENT_VELOCITY is now a read-only variable.
257         - built-in "play_note()" function now accepts -2 for its fourth argument
258           (note duration) which means the life time of the note shall be sticked
259           to the requested note number of argument 1.
260         - Fix: built-in "play_note()" function now returns 0 as result value if
261           -1 was passed for its fourth argument (note duration) and the respective
262           parent note is already gone.
263        - Implemented built-in script function "change_play_pos()".
264        - NKSP language: Added support for user declared const array variables.
265        - NKSP language: Raise parser warning if array variable is accessed with
266          an index that exceeds the array's size.
267        - NKSP language fix: Unknown characters were not handled correctly.
268        - NKSP language: Added support for "synchronized .. end synchronized"
269          code blocks.
270        - Implemented built-in script function "abort()" which allows to abort
271          another script handler by passing its callback ID.
272        - Fixed potential memory access bug and potential undefined behavior of
273          "init" event handlers.
274        - Print a time stamp along to each call of built-in function "message()".
275        - ScriptVM API: Added VMParserContext::preprocessorComments() which allows
276          to retrieve all code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor.
277        - Added built-in script function "fork()".
278        - Added built-in array variable %NKSP_CALLBACK_CHILD_ID[].
279        - Added built-in variable $NKSP_CALLBACK_PARENT_ID.
280        - Fixed potential crash when accessing dynamic built-in array variables.
281        - Added built-in script function "callback_status()".
282        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_TERMINATED.
283        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_QUEUE.
284        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_RUNNING.
285        - Removed max. value limitation of built-in functions "change_attack()",
286          "change_decay()" and "change_release()" to i.e. allow passing 2000000
287          for doubling the respective time.
288        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: Fixed app termination due
289          to a lexer start condition stack underrun.
290        - NKSP preprocessor: Fixed wrong behavior on nested USE_CODE_IF() and
291          USE_CODE_IF_NOT() preprocessor statements.
292        - NKSP: Added built-in preprocessor condition NKSP_NO_MESSAGE, which
293          can be set to disable all subsequent built-in "message()" function calls
294          on preprocessor level.
295        - Implemented built-in script function "change_sustain()".
296        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: catch all fatal lexer errors,
297          to avoid the editor app to crash on ill-formed text input.
298        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_time()".
299        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_curve()".
300        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_attack()".
301        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_decay()".
302        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_sustain()".
303        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_release()".
304        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_lfo_depth()".
305        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()".
306    
307      * Instruments DB:
308        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
309          undefined behavior.
310        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
311        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
312          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
313        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
314        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
315        - Fixed undefined DB transaction behavior.
316    
317    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
318    
319      * packaging changes:
320        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
321        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
322        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
323        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
324          doing "make dist"
325        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
326        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
327        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
328        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
329        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
330          directories are separate
331        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
332          configure
333        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
334        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
335        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions

349          on the process's main thread
350        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
351        - support building with older jack versions
352        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
353        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
354          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
355          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
356    
357      * general changes:
358        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
359          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
360        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
361          respective profiling code is currently broken
362        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
363          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
364          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
365          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
366        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
367        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
368        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
369          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
370          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
371          effect type is)
372        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
373          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
374          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
375          effect type is)
376        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
377        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
378          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
379        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
380        - experimental support for per voice equalization
381        - added command line option --exec-after-init
382        - Introduced new C++ API method:
383          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
384          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
385          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
386          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
387          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
388        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
389        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
390        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
391        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
392        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
393        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
394          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
395          series (#182)
396        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
397          used it everywhere appropriate
398        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
399        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
400          SysEx way).
401        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
402          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
403          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
404        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
405        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
406          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
407          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
408          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
409          backward compatibility).
410        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
411          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
412        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
413        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
414          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
415        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
416        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
417        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
418        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
419          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
420          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
421          used so far).
422        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
423          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
424          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
425          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
426    
427      * Gigasampler format engine:
428        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
429        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of

435        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
436          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
437        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
438          min value
439        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
440          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit

468        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
469        - added more v1 aliases to parser
470        - reduced memory usage for sfz data

622        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
623        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
624        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
625          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
626          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
627        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
628        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
629          64 bit Windows
630        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
631          stereo

641        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
642        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
643        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
644          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
645        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
646        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI

660          informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
661          spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
662          with the sampler.

664      * MIDI driver:
665        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
666          the ALSA sequencer client name

668          there is no reason for this limit
669        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
670        - MME: removed compiler warning
671        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
672          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
673          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
674        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
675          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports

682        - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
683        - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
684        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
685        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
686          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
687        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
688        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
689    
690      * audio driver:
691        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
692        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.
693        - JACK audio: react on buffer size changes.

695          RT context.
696        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
697        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
698        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)
699        - JACK audio: return the JACK server's current sample rate as default value
700          for audio device parameter "SAMPLERATE" (fixes #166).
701    
702      * LSCP server:

773        - Implemented built-in script function "set_controller()".
774        - Added extended script VM for the Gigasampler/GigaStudio format sampler
775          engine, which extends the general instrument script VM with Giga format
776          specific variables and functions.
777        - Giga format scripts: added built-in script int constant variables

808        - minor valgrind fixes
809        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
810          channel to a different engine type
811        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
812          type while an instrument load was in progress
813        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
814          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
815        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
816          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
817        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
818          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
819        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
820        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
821          it caused hanging threads on Windows
822        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
823          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
824        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
825          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
826          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
827          instrument was completely reloaded again.
828        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
829          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
830          project, slightly adjusted)
831        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
832          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

843          introduced in previous fix)
844        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
845          playing a note in a key group
846        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
847          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
848        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
849          crashes and noise on such transitions).
850        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
851          (fixes #208)
852        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
853          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
854          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
855          shell's auto completion feature).
856        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
857          after each other (fixes #231).
858    
859    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
860    
861      * packaging changes:
862        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
863          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
864          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
865          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
866        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
867        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
868        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
869        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
870        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
871        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
872        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
873        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
874          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
875          directory above)
876        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
877        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
878        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
879        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
880    
881      * general changes:
882        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
883          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
884          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
885        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
886          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
887        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
888        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
889          unnecessarily long after an update
890        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
891          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
892          of gigedit)
893        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
894        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
895        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
896          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
897          implementation, which is usually faster)
898        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
899        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
900          VST plugin
901        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
902          only when there are actual changes
903        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
904          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
905        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
906        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
907        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
908          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
909          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
910        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
911          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
912        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
913          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
914          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
915          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
916        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
917          model more strictly
918        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
919        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
920          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
921          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
922        - updated linuxsampler man page
923    
924      * audio driver:
925        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
926          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
927        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
928          opposed to the LSCP specs
929        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
930          reflected the wrong value
931        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
932        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
933        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
934          jack_client_new
935        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
936        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
937          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
938          (fixes #117)
939        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
940          win64)
941        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
942        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
943        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
944        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
945          energyXT)
946        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
947          stereo
948        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
949          stored in the plugin state
950        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
951          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
952          (if available)
953        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
954          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
955    
956      * MIDI driver:
957        - added JACK MIDI driver
958        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
959          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
960          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
961        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
962          CoreMidi or AU
963        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
964        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
965          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
966        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
967    
968      * instruments database:
969        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
970          to the instruments database
971        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
972        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
973          in the instruments database
974          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
975        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
976          instrument database compilable
977        - added instrument database support on Windows
978          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
979          the instruments DB file is located in
980          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
981          databases for each windows user
982          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
983          and then creates an empty DB
984        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
985    
986      * Gigasampler format engine:
987        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
988          while notes were playing
989        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
990          isn't running
991        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
992          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
993        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
994          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
995        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
996          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
997          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
998          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
999          on)
1000        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
1001          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
1002          be played
1003        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
1004          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
1005          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
1006          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
1007          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
1008          defined for the sampler
1009        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
1010          audio thread isn't running
1011        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
1012        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
1013          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
1014          sampler engine anymore
1015        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
1016          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
1017        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
1018          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
1019          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
1020        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
1021          instrument-level gig parameters
1022        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
1023        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
1024        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
1025        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
1026        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
1027          note was silent
1028        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
1029          same time a new instrument was loading
1030    
1031      * LSCP server:
1032        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1033          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
1034          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1035        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1036          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
1037          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1038        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
1039          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
1040        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
1041          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
1042        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
1043          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
1044        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
1045          was incorrect
1046        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
1047        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
1048          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
1049          be triggered respectively
1050        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
1051          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
1052          which will be triggered respectively
1053        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
1054          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
1055        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
1056        - hard close of all sockets on exit
1057        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
1058          driver
1059    
1060      * Bug fixes:
1061        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
1062          to start instrument loading after another channel
1063        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
1064          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
1065        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
1066          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
1067        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
1068        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
1069          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
1070          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1071          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO

1073        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
1074        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
1075        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
1076          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
1077        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
1078        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
1079          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
1080        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
1081          plugin was unloaded
1082        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
1083          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
1084        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
1085          Windows
1086    
1087    
1088    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
1089    
1090      * packaging changes:
1091        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
1092        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
1093          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
1094        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
1095    
1096      * general changes:
1097        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
1098          editor closed
1099        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
1100          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
1101          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
1102          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
1103        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
1104          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
1105          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
1106          bugs.
1107        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
1108          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
1109          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
1110          unaligned 32bit read and shift
1111        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
1112          output via ASIO)
1113        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
1114        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
1115          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1116          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
1117    
1118      * AUDIO driver:
1119        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
1120    
1121      * MIDI driver:
1122        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
1123    
1124      * LSCP server:
1125        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1126          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1127          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1128        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1129          apostrophes as well
1130        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1131          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1132          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1133          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
1134          running on

1210          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
1211        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC

1251          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
1252        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
1253          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,

1265          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1266          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1267        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1268          settings

1281          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1282        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1283          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
