2    
3      * audio driver:
4        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
5          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
6    
7    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
8    
9      * packaging changes:
10        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
11        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
12          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
13        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
14    
15      * general changes:
16        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
17          editor closed
18        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
19          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
20          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
21          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
22        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
23          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
24          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
25          bugs.
26        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
27          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
28          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
29          unaligned 32bit read and shift
30        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
31          output via ASIO)
32        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
33        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
34          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
35          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
36    
37      * AUDIO driver:
38        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
39    
40      * MIDI driver:
41        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
42    
43      * LSCP server:
44        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
45          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
46          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
47        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
48          apostrophes as well
49        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
50          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
51          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
52          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
53          running on

115        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted

117          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions

130        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
131          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)

187          settings
188        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists

197          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
198        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI

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