32        - Mac OS X: added temporary hack allowing to spawn gigedit as callback
33          on the process's main thread
34        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
35        - support building with older jack versions
36        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
37        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
38          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
39          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
40    
41      * general changes:
42        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
43          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
44        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
45          respective profiling code is currently broken
46        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
47          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
48          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
49          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
50        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
51        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
52        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
53          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
54          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
55          effect type is)
56        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
57          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
58          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
59          effect type is)
60        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
61        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
62          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
63        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
64        - experimental support for per voice equalization
65        - added command line option --exec-after-init
66        - Introduced new C++ API method:
67          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
68          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
69          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
70          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
71          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
72        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
73        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
74        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
75        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
76        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
77        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
78          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
79          series (#182)
80        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
81          used it everywhere appropriate
82        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
83        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
84          SysEx way).
85        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
86          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
87          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
88        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
89        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
90          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
91          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
92          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
93          backward compatibility).
94        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
95          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
96        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
97        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
98          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
99        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
100        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
101        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
102    
103      * Gigasampler format engine:
104        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
105        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
106          dimension zones is not a power of two
107        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
108          key
109        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
110        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
111        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
112          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
113        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
114          min value
115        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
116          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
117        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
118

288        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
289        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
290        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
291          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
292          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
293        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
294        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
295          64 bit Windows
296        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
297          stereo

305          loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
306          similar fix was for Windows)
307        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
308        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
309        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
310          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
311        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
312        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
313          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
314        - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
315          and event
316        - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin
317        - LV2: changed number of output channels to 16 stereo, just like
318          the VST and AU plugins
319        - LV2: fixed save/restore of SFZ state (patch by David Robillard)
320        - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac

326          the ALSA sequencer client name
327        - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
328          there is no reason for this limit
329        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
330        - MME: removed compiler warning
331        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
332          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
333          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
334        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
335          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
336          (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
337        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
338        - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
339        - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
340          virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.
341        - Bugfix in VirtualMidiDevice: process note on with velocity 0 as note off.
342        - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
343        - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
344        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
345

352        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
353        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
354        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)
355        - JACK audio: return the JACK server's current sample rate as default value
356          for audio device parameter "SAMPLERATE" (fixes #166).
357    
358      * LSCP server:
359        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command

394        - provide comprehensive error messages on LSCP syntax errors
395          (suggesting expected next non-terminal symbols)
396    
397      * LSCP shell:
398        - Added support for auto correction of obvious and trivial syntax mistakes.

408        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
409          type while an instrument load was in progress
410        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
411          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
412        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
413          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
414        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
415          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
416        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
417        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
418          it caused hanging threads on Windows
419        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
420          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
421        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
422          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
423          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
424          instrument was completely reloaded again.
425        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
426          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
427          project, slightly adjusted)
428        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
429          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

440          introduced in previous fix)
441        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
442          playing a note in a key group
443        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
444          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
445        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
446          crashes and noise on such transitions).
447        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
448          (fixes #208)
449    
450    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
451    
452      * packaging changes:
453        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
454          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
455          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
456          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
457        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
458        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)

462        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
463        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
464        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
465          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
466          directory above)
467        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
468        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
469        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
470        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
471    
472      * general changes:
473        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
474          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
475          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
476        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
477          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
478        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
479        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
480          unnecessarily long after an update
481        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
482          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
483          of gigedit)
484        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
485        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
486        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
487          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
488          implementation, which is usually faster)
489        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
490        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
491          VST plugin
492        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
493          only when there are actual changes
494        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
495          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
496        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
497        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
498        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
499          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
500          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
501        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
502          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
503        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
504          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
505          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
506          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
507        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
508          model more strictly
509        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
510        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
511          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
512          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
513        - updated linuxsampler man page
514    
515      * audio driver:
516        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
517          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
518        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
519          opposed to the LSCP specs
520        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
521          reflected the wrong value
522        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
523        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
524        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
525          jack_client_new
526        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
527        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
528          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
529          (fixes #117)
530        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
531          win64)
532        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
533        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
534        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
535        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
536          energyXT)
537        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
538          stereo
539        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
540          stored in the plugin state
541        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
542          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
543          (if available)
544        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
545          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
546    
547      * MIDI driver:
548        - added JACK MIDI driver
549        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
550          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
551          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
552        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
553          CoreMidi or AU
554        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
555        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
556          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
557        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
558    
559      * instruments database:
560        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
561          to the instruments database
562        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
563        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
564          in the instruments database
565          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
566        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
567          instrument database compilable
568        - added instrument database support on Windows
569          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
570          the instruments DB file is located in
571          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
572          databases for each windows user
573          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
574          and then creates an empty DB
575        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
576    
577      * Gigasampler format engine:
578        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
579          while notes were playing
580        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
581          isn't running
582        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
583          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
584        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
585          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
586        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
587          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
588          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
589          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
590          on)
591        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
592          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
593          be played
594        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
595          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
596          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
597          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
598          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
599          defined for the sampler
600        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
601          audio thread isn't running
602        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
603        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
604          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
605          sampler engine anymore
606        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
607          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
608        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
609          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
610          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
611        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
612          instrument-level gig parameters
613        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
614        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
615        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
616        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
617        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
618          note was silent
619        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
620          same time a new instrument was loading
621    
622      * LSCP server:
623        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
624          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
625          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
626        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
627          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
628          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
629        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
630          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
631        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
632          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
633        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
634          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
635        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
636          was incorrect
637        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
638        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
639          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
640          be triggered respectively
641        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
642          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
643          which will be triggered respectively
644        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
645          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
646        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
647        - hard close of all sockets on exit
648        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
649          driver
650    
651      * Bug fixes:
652        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
653          to start instrument loading after another channel
654        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
655          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
656        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
657          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
658        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
659        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
660          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
661          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
662          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
663          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
664        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
665        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
666        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
667          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
668        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
669        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
670          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
671        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
672          plugin was unloaded
673        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
674          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
675        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
676          Windows
677    
678    
679    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
680    
681      * packaging changes:
682        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
683        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
684          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
685        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
686    
687      * general changes:
688        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
689          editor closed
690        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
691          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
692          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
693          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
694        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
695          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
696          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
697          bugs.
698        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
699          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
700          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
701          unaligned 32bit read and shift
702        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
703          output via ASIO)
704        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
705        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
706          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
707          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
708    
709      * AUDIO driver:
710        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
711    
712      * MIDI driver:
713        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
714    
715      * LSCP server:
716        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
717          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
718          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
719        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
