 Version CVS HEAD (?)
 
   * packaging changes:
+    - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
+      API header files anymore
+    - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
+      the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
+    - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
+      capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
+      to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
+      OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
+
+  * general changes:
+    - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
+      flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
+      (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
+      (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
+      loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
+      messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
+      strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
+      instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
+      quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
+      respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
+      global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
+      dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
+      the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
+      MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
+      a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
+      drumkits is possible
+    - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
+      MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
+    - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
+      due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
+      dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
+    - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
+      output channels for being processed by external effect processors
+      (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
+      controllers
+    - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
+    - Implemented new, improved notification system
+    - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
+      (patch by Toshi Nagata)
+    - implemented instruments database
+    - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
+      within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
+      you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
+      startup, added a new LSCP command "EDIT INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
+      to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
+      given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
+      time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
+    - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
+      policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
+      thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
+      threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
+      setting their own policy and priority
+    - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
+      main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
+      its output
+
+  * MIDI driver:
+    - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
+
+  * audio driver:
+    - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
+      parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
+      (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
+
+  * Gigasampler format engine:
+    - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
+      die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
+      voice starvation for some gigs)
+    - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
+    - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
+      playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
+      command
+    - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
+    - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
+    - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
+      above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
+      even if sustain is 100%
+    - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
+      noises or crashes
+    - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
+    - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
+      supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
+
+  * LSCP server:
+    - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
+      (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
+
+  * Bug fixes:
+    - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
+    - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
+      channel audio output device"
+
+  * test cases:
+    - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)

+Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)

+  * packaging changes:
     - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
       to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
       to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
