# 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        - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
169        - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
170        - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
171          intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
172          "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
173          assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
174          timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
175          changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
176          relevant).
177         - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
178         - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
179         - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".
180         - NKSP Fix: Never suspend "init" event handlers.
181         - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
182           available for gig format engine).
183         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
184         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
185         - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
186         - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
187         - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
188           offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
189           sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
190         - Built-in array variable %KEY_DOWN[] is now a read-only variable.
191         - Built-in variable $EVENT_NOTE is now a read-only variable.
192         - Built-in variable $EVENT_VELOCITY is now a read-only variable.
193         - built-in "play_note()" function now accepts -2 for its fourth argument
194           (note duration) which means the life time of the note shall be sticked
195           to the requested note number of argument 1.
196         - Fix: built-in "play_note()" function now returns 0 as result value if
197           -1 was passed for its fourth argument (note duration) and the respective
198           parent note is already gone.
199        - Implemented built-in script function "change_play_pos()".
200    
201      * Instruments DB:
202        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
203          undefined behavior.
204        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
205        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
206          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
207        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
208        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
209        - Fixed undefined DB transaction behavior.

211    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
212    
213      * packaging changes:
214        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
215        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
216        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
217        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
218          doing "make dist"
219        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
220        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
221        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
222        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
223        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
224          directories are separate
225        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
226          configure
227        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
228        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
229        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
230        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
231          gcc 4.7 and C++11
232        - modernized configure script
233        - fixed linkage error when building with
234          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
235        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
236        - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES
237        - fixed building with C++11
238        - build fix: ChangeFlagRelaxed.h was missing in makefile
239        - build fix: libsndfile compiler flags were missing in some
240          makefiles
241        - fix for building with bison 3.0 (#202)
242        - Mac OS X: added temporary hack allowing to spawn gigedit as callback
243          on the process's main thread
244        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
245        - support building with older jack versions
246        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
247        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
248          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
249          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
250    
251      * general changes:
252        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
253          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
254        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
255          respective profiling code is currently broken
256        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
257          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
258          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
259          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
260        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
261        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
262        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
263          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
264          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
265          effect type is)
266        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
267          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
268          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
269          effect type is)
270        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
271        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
272          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
273        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
274        - experimental support for per voice equalization
275        - added command line option --exec-after-init
276        - Introduced new C++ API method:
277          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
278          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
279          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
280          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
281          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
282        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
283        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
284        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
285        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
286        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
287        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
288          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
289          series (#182)
290        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
291          used it everywhere appropriate
292        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
293        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
294          SysEx way).
295        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
296          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
297          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
298        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
299        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
300          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
301          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
302          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
303          backward compatibility).
304        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
305          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
306        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
307        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
308          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
309        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
310        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
311        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
312        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
313          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
314          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
315          used so far).
316        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
317          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
318          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
319          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
320    
321      * Gigasampler format engine:
322        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
323        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
324          dimension zones is not a power of two
325        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
326          key
327        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
328        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
329        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
330          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
331        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
332          min value
333        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
334          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
335        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
336        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
337        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
338          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
339        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
340    
341      * SFZ format engine:
342        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
343        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
344        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
345          one from the gig engine
346        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
347        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
348        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
349        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
350        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
351          multiple regions
352        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
353          more compatible
354        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
355        - added support for off_mode=normal
356        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
357        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
358        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
359        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
360        - added support for transpose
361        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
362        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
363        - added more v1 aliases to parser
364        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
365        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
366        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
367        - optimized sample lookup
368        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
369          off_mode)
370        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
371        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
372        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
373        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files

579        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
580          parameter "AUTO_BIND").

689        - Implemented built-in script function "set_event_mark()".
690        - Implemented built-in script function "delete_event_mark()".
691        - Implemented built-in script function "by_marks()".
692        - Added built-in script int const variables $MARK_1 to $MARK_28.
693        - Built-in script functions "ignore_event()", "note_off()" and
694          "gig_set_dim_zone()" now also accept an array of event IDs as argument
695          (i.e. return value of new script function "by_marks()").
696        - Pass/preserve polyphonic variable data from respective "note" event
697          handler to "release" event handler.
698        - Fixed crash when using built-in script function "by_marks()".
699    
700      * Bug fixes:
701        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
702        - minor valgrind fixes
703        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
704          channel to a different engine type
705        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
706          type while an instrument load was in progress
707        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
708          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
709        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
710          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
711        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
712          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
713        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
714        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
715          it caused hanging threads on Windows
716        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
717          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
718        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
719          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
720          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
721          instrument was completely reloaded again.
722        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
723          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
724          project, slightly adjusted)
725        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
726          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
727        - fixed bug #162
728        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
729          multiple paths (#165)
730        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
731        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
732          (#176)
733        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
734        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
735        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
736        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
737          introduced in previous fix)
738        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
739          playing a note in a key group
740        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
741          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
742        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
743          crashes and noise on such transitions).
744        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
745          (fixes #208)
746        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
747          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
748          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
749          shell's auto completion feature).
750        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
751          after each other (fixes #231).
752    
753    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
754    
755      * packaging changes:
756        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
757          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
758          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
759          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
760        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
761        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
762        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
763        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
764        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
765        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
766        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
767        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
768          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
769          directory above)
770        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
771        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
772        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
773        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
774    
775      * general changes:
776        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
777          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
778          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
779        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
780          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
781        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
782        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
783          unnecessarily long after an update
784        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
785          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
786          of gigedit)
787        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
788        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
789        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
790          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
791          implementation, which is usually faster)
792        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
793        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
794          VST plugin
795        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
796          only when there are actual changes
797        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
798          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
799        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
800        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
801        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
802          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
803          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
804        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
805          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
806        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
807          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
808          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
809          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
810        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
811          model more strictly
812        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
813        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
814          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
815          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
816        - updated linuxsampler man page
817    
818      * audio driver:
819        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
820          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
821        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
822          opposed to the LSCP specs
823        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
824          reflected the wrong value
825        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
826        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
827        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
828          jack_client_new
829        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
830        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
831          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
832          (fixes #117)
833        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
834          win64)
835        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
836        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
837        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
838        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
839          energyXT)
840        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
841          stereo
842        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
843          stored in the plugin state
844        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
845          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
846          (if available)
847        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
848          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
849    
850      * MIDI driver:
851        - added JACK MIDI driver
852        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
853          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
854          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
855        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
856          CoreMidi or AU
857        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
858        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
859          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
860        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
861    
862      * instruments database:
863        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
864          to the instruments database
865        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
866        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
867          in the instruments database
868          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
869        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
870          instrument database compilable
871        - added instrument database support on Windows
872          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
873          the instruments DB file is located in
874          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
875          databases for each windows user
876          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
877          and then creates an empty DB
878        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
879    
880      * Gigasampler format engine:
881        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
882          while notes were playing
883        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
884          isn't running
885        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
886          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
887        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
888          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
889        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
890          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
891          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
892          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
893          on)
894        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
895          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
896          be played
897        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
898          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
899          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
900          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
901          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
902          defined for the sampler
903        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
904          audio thread isn't running
905        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
906        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
907          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
908          sampler engine anymore
909        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
910          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
911        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
912          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
913          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
914        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
915          instrument-level gig parameters
916        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
917        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
918        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
919        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
920        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
921          note was silent
922        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
923          same time a new instrument was loading
924    
925      * LSCP server:
926        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
927          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
928          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
929        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
930          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
931          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
932        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
933          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
934        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
935          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
936        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
937          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
938        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
939          was incorrect
940        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
941        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
942          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
943          be triggered respectively
944        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
945          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
946          which will be triggered respectively
947        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
948          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
949        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
950        - hard close of all sockets on exit
951        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
952          driver
953    
954      * Bug fixes:
955        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
956          to start instrument loading after another channel
957        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
958          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
959        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
960          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
961        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
962        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
963          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
964          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
965          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
966          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
967        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
968        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
969        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
970          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
971        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
972        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
973          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
974        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
975          plugin was unloaded
976        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
977          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
978        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
979          Windows
980    
981    
982    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
983    
984      * packaging changes:
985        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
986        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
987          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
988        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
989    
990      * general changes:
991        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
992          editor closed
993        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
994          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
995          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
996          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
997        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
998          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
999          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
1000          bugs.
1001        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
1002          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
1003          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
1004          unaligned 32bit read and shift
1005        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
1006          output via ASIO)
1007        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
1008        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
1009          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1010          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
1011    
1012      * AUDIO driver:
1013        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
1014    
1015      * MIDI driver:
1016        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
1017    
1018      * LSCP server:
1019        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1020          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1021          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1022        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1023          apostrophes as well
1024        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1025          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1026          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1027          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
1028          running on
