2    
3      * plugin changes:
4        - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)
5    
6      * packaging changes:
7        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
8        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
9        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
10        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
11          doing "make dist"
12        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
13        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
14        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
15        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
16        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
17          directories are separate
18        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
19          configure
20        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
21        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
22        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
23        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
24          gcc 4.7 and C++11
25        - modernized configure script
26            
27      * general changes:
28        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
29          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
30        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
31          respective profiling code is currently broken
32        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
33          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
34          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
35          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
36        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
38        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
39          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
40          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
41          effect type is)
42        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
43          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
44          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
45          effect type is)
46        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
47        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
48          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
49        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
50        - experimental support for per voice equalization
51        - added command line option --exec-after-init
52        - Introduced new C++ API method:
53          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
54          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
55          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
56          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
57          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
58    
59      * Gigasampler format engine:
60        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
61        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
62          dimension zones is not a power of two
63        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
64          key
65

72        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
73        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
74        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
75        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
76          multiple regions
77        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
78          more compatible
79        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
80        - added support for off_mode=normal

83        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
84        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
85        - added support for transpose
86        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
87        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
88        - added more v1 aliases to parser

255        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
256        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present

258          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
259        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
260        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
261          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.

335          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
336        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
337          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
338          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
339          instrument was completely reloaded again.
340        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
341          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
342          project, slightly adjusted)
343        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
344          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
345        - fixed bug #162
346        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
347          multiple paths (#165)
348        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
349        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
350          (#176)
351        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
352        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
353        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
354        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
355          introduced in previous fix)
356        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
357          playing a note in a key group
358    
359    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
360    
361      * packaging changes:
362        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
363          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
364          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
365          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
366        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
367        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
368        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
369        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
370        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
371        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
372        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
373        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
374          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
375          directory above)
376        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
377        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
378        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
379        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
380    
381      * general changes:
382        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
383          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
384          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
385        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
386          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
387        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
388        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
389          unnecessarily long after an update
390        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
391          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
392          of gigedit)
393        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
394        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
395        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
396          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
397          implementation, which is usually faster)
398        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
399        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
400          VST plugin
401        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
402          only when there are actual changes
403        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
404          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
405        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
406        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
407        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
408          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
409          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
410        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
411          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
412        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
413          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
414          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
415          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
416        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
417          model more strictly
418        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
419        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
420          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
421          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
422    
423      * audio driver:
424        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
425          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
426        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
427          opposed to the LSCP specs
428        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
429          reflected the wrong value
430        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
431        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
432        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
433          jack_client_new
434        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
435        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
436          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
437          (fixes #117)
438        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
439          win64)
440        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
441        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
442        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
443        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
444          energyXT)
445        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
446          stereo
447        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
448          stored in the plugin state
449        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
450          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
451          (if available)
452        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
453          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
454    
455      * MIDI driver:
456        - added JACK MIDI driver
457        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
458          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
459          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
460        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
461          CoreMidi or AU
462        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
463        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
464          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
465        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
466    
467      * instruments database:
468        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
469          to the instruments database
470        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
471        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
472          in the instruments database
473          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
474        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
475          instrument database compilable
476        - added instrument database support on Windows
477          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
478          the instruments DB file is located in
479          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
480          databases for each windows user
481          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
482          and then creates an empty DB
483        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
484    
485      * Gigasampler format engine:
486        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
487          while notes were playing
488        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
489          isn't running
490        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
491          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
492        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
493          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
494        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
495          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
496          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
497          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
498          on)
499        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
500          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
501          be played
502        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
503          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
504          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
505          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
506          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
507          defined for the sampler
508        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
509          audio thread isn't running
510        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
511        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
512          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
513          sampler engine anymore
514        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
515          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
516        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
517          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
518          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
519        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
520          instrument-level gig parameters
521        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
522        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
523        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
524        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
525        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
526          note was silent
527        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
528          same time a new instrument was loading
529    
530      * LSCP server:
531        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
532          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
533          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
534        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
535          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
536          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
537        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
538          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
539        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
540          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
541        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
542          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
543        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
544          was incorrect
545        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
546        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
547          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
548          be triggered respectively
549        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
550          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
551          which will be triggered respectively
552        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
553          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
554        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
555        - hard close of all sockets on exit
556        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
557          driver
558    
559      * Bug fixes:
560        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
561          to start instrument loading after another channel
562        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
563          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
564        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
565          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
566        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
567        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
568          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
569          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
570          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
571          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
572        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
573        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
574        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
575          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
576        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
577        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
578          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
579        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
580          plugin was unloaded
581        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
582          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
583        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
584          Windows
585    
586    
587    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
588    
589      * packaging changes:
590        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
591        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
592          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
593        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
594    
595      * general changes:
596        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
597          editor closed
598        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
599          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
600          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
601          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
602        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
603          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
604          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
605          bugs.
606        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
607          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
608          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
609          unaligned 32bit read and shift
610        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
611          output via ASIO)
612        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
613        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
614          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
615          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
616    
617      * AUDIO driver:
618        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
619    
620      * MIDI driver:
621        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
622    
623      * LSCP server:
624        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
625          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
626          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
627        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
628          apostrophes as well
629        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
630          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
631          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
632          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
633          running on
