# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * SFZ format engine:
4        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
5        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
6        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
7          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
8        - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
9        - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
10    
11      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
12        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
13          cutoff settings.
14    
15      * general changes:
16        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
17        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
18        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
19          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
20        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
21          position within a list.
22        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
23          a raw element pointer.
24        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
25          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
26          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
27          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
28        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
29          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
30          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
31          script features.
32        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
33          (CC #64) events.
34        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
35          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
36        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
37          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
38          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
39        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
40          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
41        - Added new C++ API method
42          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
43        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
44          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
45        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
46        - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
47    
48      * packaging changes:
49        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
50          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
51        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
52          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
53    
54      * Real-time instrument scripts:
55        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
56        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
57          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
58          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
59        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
60          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
61          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
62          microseconds.
63        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
64          potentially causing undefined behavior.
65        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
66          variable.
67        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
68          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
69          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
70        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
71        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
72          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
73          script editor applications.
74        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
75        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
76          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
77          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
78        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
79          editor.
80        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
81          like "on note end on".
82        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
83        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
84        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
85        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
86        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
87        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
88        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
89          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
90          "event_status()" function.
91        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
92          and ".not.".
93        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
94          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
95        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
96        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
97          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
98          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
99        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
100        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
101        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
102        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
103        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
104        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
105        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
106        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
107          associative instead of left (to right).
108        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
109          (i.e. "if end if").
110        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
111        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
112        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
113        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
114        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
115          handled by the script parser).
116        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
117        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
118        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
119        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".
120        - NKSP Language: Added support for user defined script functions.
121        - Implemented built-in script function "change_attack()".
122        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
123        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
124        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
125          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
126          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
127          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
128          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
129          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
130        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
131        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
132        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
133        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
134        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
135          was loaded.
136        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
137          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
138          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
139          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
140        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
141          threatening scripts.
142        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
143        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
144          initializer list to an array variable.
145        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
146        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".
147        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_depth()".
148        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_freq()".
149        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_depth()".
150        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
151        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_time()".
152        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_time()".
153        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_in()".
154        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_out()".
155        - Fixed acceptance of wrong data type of parameters passed to built-in
156          script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
157          "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
158          "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
159          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
160        - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
161          of its possible parameter selections.
162        - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
163          of its possible parameter selections.
164        - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
165        - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
166        - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
167          built-in function "ignore_controller()".
168    
169      * Instruments DB:
170        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
171          undefined behavior.
172        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
173        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
174          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
175        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
176        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
177        - Fixed undefined DB transaction behavior.

183        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
184        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
185        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
186          doing "make dist"
187        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
188        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
189        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
190        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
191        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
192          directories are separate
193        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
194          configure
195        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
196        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
197        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
198        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
199          gcc 4.7 and C++11
200        - modernized configure script
201        - fixed linkage error when building with
202          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
203        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2

212        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
213        - support building with older jack versions
214        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
215        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
216          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
217          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
218    
219      * general changes:
220        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
221          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
222        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
223          respective profiling code is currently broken
224        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
225          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
226          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
227          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
228        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
229        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
230        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
231          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
232          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
233          effect type is)
234        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
235          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
236          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
237          effect type is)
238        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
239        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
240          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
241        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
242        - experimental support for per voice equalization
243        - added command line option --exec-after-init
244        - Introduced new C++ API method:
245          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
246          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
247          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
248          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
249          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
250        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
251        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
252        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
253        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
254        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
255        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
256          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
257          series (#182)
258        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
259          used it everywhere appropriate
260        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
261        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
262          SysEx way).
263        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
264          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
265          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
266        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
267        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
268          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
269          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
270          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
271          backward compatibility).
272        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
273          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
274        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
275        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
276          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
277        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
278        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
279        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
280        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
281          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
282          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
283          used so far).
284        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
285          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
286          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
287          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
288    
289      * Gigasampler format engine:
290        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
291        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
292          dimension zones is not a power of two
293        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
294          key
295        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
296        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
297        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
298          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
299        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
300          min value
301        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
302          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
303        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
304        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
305        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
306          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
307        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
308    
309      * SFZ format engine:
310        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
311        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
312        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
313          one from the gig engine
314        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
315        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
316        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
317        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
318        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
319          multiple regions
320        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
321          more compatible
322        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
323        - added support for off_mode=normal
324        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
325        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
326        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
327        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
328        - added support for transpose
329        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
330        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
331        - added more v1 aliases to parser
332        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
333        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
334        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
335        - optimized sample lookup
336        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
337          off_mode)
338        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
339        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
340        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
341        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
342        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
343          not set in sfz file
344        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
345          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,
346          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,
347          cutoff_cc, cutoff_chanaft.
348        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work
349        - added support for velocity effect on amplifier envelope time
350          (ampeg_vel2attack, ampeg_vel2decay, ampeg_vel2sustain and
351          ampeg_vel2release)
352        - added support for EG hold (ampeg_hold)
353        - added support for sample offset (offset)
354        - use the newly introduced signal units model

488          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
489        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
490        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
491          64 bit Windows

546        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
547        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
548          parameter "AUTO_BIND").

693        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
694          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
695        - fixed bug #162
696        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
697          multiple paths (#165)
698        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
699        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
700          (#176)
701        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
702        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
703        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
704        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
705          introduced in previous fix)
706        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
707          playing a note in a key group
708        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
709          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
710        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
711          crashes and noise on such transitions).
712        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
713          (fixes #208)
714        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
715          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
716          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
717          shell's auto completion feature).
718        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
719          after each other (fixes #231).
720    
721    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
722    
723      * packaging changes:
724        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
725          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
726          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
727          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
728        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
729        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
730        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
731        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
732        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
733        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
734        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
735        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
736          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
737          directory above)
738        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
739        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
740        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
741        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
742    
743      * general changes:
744        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
745          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
746          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
747        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
748          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
749        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
750        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
751          unnecessarily long after an update
752        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
753          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
754          of gigedit)
755        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
756        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
757        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
758          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
759          implementation, which is usually faster)
760        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
761        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
762          VST plugin
763        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
764          only when there are actual changes
765        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
766          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
767        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
768        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
769        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
770          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
771          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
772        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
773          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
774        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
775          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
776          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
777          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
778        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
779          model more strictly
780        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
781        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
782          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
783          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
784        - updated linuxsampler man page
785    
786      * audio driver:
787        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
788          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
789        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
790          opposed to the LSCP specs
791        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
792          reflected the wrong value
793        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
794        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
795        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
796          jack_client_new
797        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
798        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
799          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
800          (fixes #117)
801        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
802          win64)
803        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
804        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
805        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
806        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
807          energyXT)
808        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
809          stereo
810        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
811          stored in the plugin state
812        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
813          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
814          (if available)
815        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
816          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
817    
818      * MIDI driver:
819        - added JACK MIDI driver
820        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
821          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
822          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
823        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
824          CoreMidi or AU
825        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
826        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
827          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
828        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
829    
830      * instruments database:
831        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
832          to the instruments database
833        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
834        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
835          in the instruments database
836          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
837        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
838          instrument database compilable
839        - added instrument database support on Windows
840          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
841          the instruments DB file is located in
842          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
843          databases for each windows user
844          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
845          and then creates an empty DB
846        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
847    
848      * Gigasampler format engine:
849        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
850          while notes were playing
851        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
852          isn't running
853        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
854          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
855        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
856          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
857        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
858          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
859          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
860          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
861          on)
862        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
863          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
864          be played
865        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
866          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
867          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
868          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
869          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
870          defined for the sampler
871        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
872          audio thread isn't running
873        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
874        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
875          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
876          sampler engine anymore
877        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
878          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
879        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
880          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
881          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
882        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
883          instrument-level gig parameters
884        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
885        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
886        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
887        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
888        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
889          note was silent
890        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
891          same time a new instrument was loading
892    
893      * LSCP server:
894        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
895          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
896          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
897        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
898          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
899          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
900        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
901          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
902        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
903          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
904        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
905          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
906        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
907          was incorrect
908        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
909        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
910          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
911          be triggered respectively
912        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
913          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
914          which will be triggered respectively
915        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
916          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
917        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
918        - hard close of all sockets on exit
919        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
920          driver
921    
922      * Bug fixes:
923        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
924          to start instrument loading after another channel
925        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
926          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
927        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
928          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
929        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
930        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
931          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
932          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
933          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
934          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
935        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
936        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
937        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
938          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
939        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
940        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
941          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
942        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
943          plugin was unloaded
944        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
945          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
946        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
947          Windows
948    
949    
950    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
951    
952      * packaging changes:
953        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
954        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
955          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
956        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
957    
958      * general changes:
959        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
960          editor closed
961        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
962          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
963          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
964          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
965        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
966          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
967          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
968          bugs.
969        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
970          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
971          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
972          unaligned 32bit read and shift
973        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
974          output via ASIO)
975        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
976        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
977          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
978          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
979    
980      * AUDIO driver:
981        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
982    
983      * MIDI driver:
984        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
985    
986      * LSCP server:
987        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
988          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
989          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
990        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
991          apostrophes as well
992        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
993          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
994          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
995          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
996          running on
