2    
3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
5          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
6          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
7          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
8    
9      * general changes:
10        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
11          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
12          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
13        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
14          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
15        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
16        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
17          unnecessarily long after an update
18        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
19          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
20          of gigedit)
21        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
22        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
23    
24      * audio driver:
25        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
26          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
27        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
28          opposed to the LSCP specs
29        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
30          reflected the wrong value
31        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
32    
33      * MIDI driver:
34        - added JACK MIDI driver
35    
36      * instruments database:
37        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
38          to the instruments database
39    
40      * Gigasampler format engine:
41        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
42          while notes were playing
43        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
44          isn't running
45    
46    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
47    
48      * packaging changes:
49        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
50        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
51          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
52        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
53    
54      * general changes:
55        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
56          editor closed
57        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
58          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
59          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
60          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
61        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
62          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
63          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
64          bugs.
65        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
66          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
67          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
68          unaligned 32bit read and shift
69        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
70          output via ASIO)
71        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
72        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
73          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
74          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
75    
76      * AUDIO driver:
77        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
78    
79      * MIDI driver:
80        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
81    
82      * LSCP server:
83        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
84          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
85          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
86        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
87          apostrophes as well
88        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
89          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
90          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
91          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
92          running on
93    
94    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
