# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * Real-time instrument scripts:
4        - Fixed behavior of built-in NKSP functions change_sustain(),
5          change_cutoff_attack(), change_cutoff_decay(), change_cutoff_sustain()
6          and change_cutoff_release().
7    
8      * general changes:
9        - Only play release trigger samples on sustain pedal up if this behaviour
10          was explicitly requested by the instrument (otherwise only on note-off).
11    
12    Version 2.1.0 (25 Nov 2017)
13    
14      * SFZ format engine:
15        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
16        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
17        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
18          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
19        - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
20        - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
21        - sfz parser: allow missing space between header and opcode
22    
23      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
24        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
25          cutoff settings.
26        - Got rid of resembling an ancient GSt misbehavior which did not pitch at
27          all if an up-pitch of more than 40 semi tones was requested (I don't
28          think there is any stock gig sound that requires this behavior to
29          resemble its original sound).
30        - Added support for controlling whether the individual EGADSR stages may
31          be aborted (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4
32          format).
33    
34      * general changes:
35        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
36        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
37        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
38          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
39        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
40          position within a list.
41        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
42          a raw element pointer.
43        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
44          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
45          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
46          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
47        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
48          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
49          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
50          script features.
51        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
52          (CC #64) events.
53        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
54          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
55        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
56          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
57          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
58        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
59          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
60        - Added new C++ API method
61          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
62        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
63          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
64        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
65        - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
66        - Revised fundamental C++ classes "Thread", "Mutex" and "Condition" which
67          fixes potential undefined behavior.
68        - Fixed Note object leak when triggering notes on keys which did not
69          have a valid sample mapped (fixes bug #252).
70        - Fixed compilation errors when compiling with CONFIG_DEVMODE enabled.
71        - linuxsampler binary fix: option --create-instruments-db ignored
72          subsequent optional argument due to glibc's implementation oddity
73          which expects a "=" sign, but no space between them.
74    
75      * packaging changes:
76        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
77          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
78        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
79          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
80        - Debian: Fixed packaging error about invalid "Source-Version"
81          substitution variable.
82        - Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch".
83        - Debian: Added build dependency to libsqlite3-dev for building
84          linuxsampler with instruments DB support.
85    
86      * Real-time instrument scripts:
87        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
88        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
89          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
90          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
91        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
92          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
93          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
94          microseconds.
95        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
96          potentially causing undefined behavior.
97        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
98          variable.
99        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
100          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
101          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
102        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
103        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
104          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
105          script editor applications.
106        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
107        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
108          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
109          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
110        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
111          editor.
112        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
113          like "on note end on".
114        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
115        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
116        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".

118        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
119        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
120        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
121          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
122          "event_status()" function.
123        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
124          and ".not.".
125        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
126          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
127        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
128        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
129          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
130          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
131        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
132        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
133        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
134        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
135        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
136        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
137        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
138        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
139          associative instead of left (to right).
140        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
141          (i.e. "if end if").
142        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
143        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
144        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
145        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
146        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
147          handled by the script parser).
148        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
149        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
150        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".

154        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
155        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
156        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
157          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
158          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
159          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
160          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
161          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
162        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
163        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
164        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
165        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
166        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
167          was loaded.
168        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
169          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
170          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
171          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
172        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
173          threatening scripts.
174        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
175        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
176          initializer list to an array variable.
177        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
178        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".

181        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_depth()".
182        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
183        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_time()".
184        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_time()".
185        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_in()".
186        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_out()".
187        - Fixed acceptance of wrong data type of parameters passed to built-in
188          script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
189          "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
190          "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
191          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
192        - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
193          of its possible parameter selections.
194        - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
195          of its possible parameter selections.
196        - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
197        - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
198        - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
199          built-in function "ignore_controller()".
200        - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
201        - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
202        - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
203          intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
204          "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
205          assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
206          timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
207          changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
208          relevant).
209         - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
210         - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
211         - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".
212         - NKSP Fix: Never suspend "init" event handlers.
213         - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
214           available for gig format engine).
215         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
216         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
217         - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
218         - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
219         - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
220           offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
221           sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
222         - Built-in array variable %KEY_DOWN[] is now a read-only variable.
223         - Built-in variable $EVENT_NOTE is now a read-only variable.
224         - Built-in variable $EVENT_VELOCITY is now a read-only variable.
225         - built-in "play_note()" function now accepts -2 for its fourth argument
226           (note duration) which means the life time of the note shall be sticked
227           to the requested note number of argument 1.
228         - Fix: built-in "play_note()" function now returns 0 as result value if
229           -1 was passed for its fourth argument (note duration) and the respective
230           parent note is already gone.
231        - Implemented built-in script function "change_play_pos()".
232        - NKSP language: Added support for user declared const array variables.
233        - NKSP language: Raise parser warning if array variable is accessed with
234          an index that exceeds the array's size.
235        - NKSP language fix: Unknown characters were not handled correctly.
236        - NKSP language: Added support for "synchronized .. end synchronized"
237          code blocks.
238        - Implemented built-in script function "abort()" which allows to abort
239          another script handler by passing its callback ID.
240        - Fixed potential memory access bug and potential undefined behavior of
241          "init" event handlers.
242        - Print a time stamp along to each call of built-in function "message()".
243        - ScriptVM API: Added VMParserContext::preprocessorComments() which allows
244          to retrieve all code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor.
245        - Added built-in script function "fork()".
246        - Added built-in array variable %NKSP_CALLBACK_CHILD_ID[].
247        - Added built-in variable $NKSP_CALLBACK_PARENT_ID.
248        - Fixed potential crash when accessing dynamic built-in array variables.
249        - Added built-in script function "callback_status()".
250        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_TERMINATED.
251        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_QUEUE.
252        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_RUNNING.
253        - Removed max. value limitation of built-in functions "change_attack()",
254          "change_decay()" and "change_release()" to i.e. allow passing 2000000
255          for doubling the respective time.
256        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: Fixed app termination due
257          to a lexer start condition stack underrun.
258        - NKSP preprocessor: Fixed wrong behavior on nested USE_CODE_IF() and
259          USE_CODE_IF_NOT() preprocessor statements.
260        - NKSP: Added built-in preprocessor condition NKSP_NO_MESSAGE, which
261          can be set to disable all subsequent built-in "message()" function calls
262          on preprocessor level.
263        - Implemented built-in script function "change_sustain()".
264        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: catch all fatal lexer errors,
265          to avoid the editor app to crash on ill-formed text input.
266        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_time()".
267        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_curve()".
268        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_attack()".
269        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_decay()".
270        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_sustain()".
271        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_release()".
272        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_lfo_depth()".
273        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()".
274    
275      * Instruments DB:
276        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
277          undefined behavior.
278        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
279        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
280          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
281        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
282        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
283        - Fixed undefined DB transaction behavior.
284    
285    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
286    
287      * packaging changes:
288        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
289        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
290        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
291        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
292          doing "make dist"
293        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
294        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
295        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
296        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
297        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
298          directories are separate
299        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to

301        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
302        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
303        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions

317          on the process's main thread
318        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
319        - support building with older jack versions
320        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
321        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
322          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
323          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
324    
325      * general changes:
326        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
327          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
328        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
329          respective profiling code is currently broken
330        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
331          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
332          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
333          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
334        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
335        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
336        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
337          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
338          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
339          effect type is)
340        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
341          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
342          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
343          effect type is)
344        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
345        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
346          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
347        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
348        - experimental support for per voice equalization
349        - added command line option --exec-after-init
350        - Introduced new C++ API method:
351          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
352          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
353          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
354          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
355          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
356        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
357        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
358        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
359        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
360        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
361        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
362          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
363          series (#182)
364        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
365          used it everywhere appropriate
366        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
367        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
368          SysEx way).
369        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
370          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
371          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
372        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
373        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
374          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
375          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
376          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
377          backward compatibility).
378        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
379          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
380        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
381        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
382          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
383        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
384        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
385        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
386        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
387          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
388          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
389          used so far).
390        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
391          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
392          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
393          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).

405        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
406          min value
407        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
408          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit

592        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
593          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
594          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
595        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
596        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on

636          there is no reason for this limit
637        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
638        - MME: removed compiler warning
639        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",

652        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
653        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
654          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
655        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
656        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
657    
658      * audio driver:
659        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
660        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.

663          RT context.
664        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
665        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
666        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)

707          (suggesting expected next non-terminal symbols)
708        - Fixed client connection not being closed after network errors.
709    
710      * LSCP shell:
711        - Added support for auto correction of obvious and trivial syntax mistakes.
712        - Added support for auto completion by tab key.
713        - Show currently available auto completion while typing.
714        - Added support for browsing command history with up / down keys.
715        - Show all possible next symbols immediately right to the current command
716          line while typing (no double tab required for this feature, as it would
717          be the case in other shells).
718        - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
719        - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
720          automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon

741        - Implemented built-in script function "set_controller()".
742        - Added extended script VM for the Gigasampler/GigaStudio format sampler
743          engine, which extends the general instrument script VM with Giga format
744          specific variables and functions.
745        - Giga format scripts: added built-in script int constant variables
746          $GIG_DIM_CHANNEL, $GIG_DIM_LAYER, $GIG_DIM_VELOCITY, $GIG_DIM_AFTERTOUCH,

767        - Built-in script functions "ignore_event()", "note_off()" and
768          "gig_set_dim_zone()" now also accept an array of event IDs as argument
769          (i.e. return value of new script function "by_marks()").
770        - Pass/preserve polyphonic variable data from respective "note" event
771          handler to "release" event handler.
772        - Fixed crash when using built-in script function "by_marks()".
773    
774      * Bug fixes:
775        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
776        - minor valgrind fixes
777        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
778          channel to a different engine type
779        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
780          type while an instrument load was in progress
781        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
782          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
783        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
784          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
785        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
786          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
787        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
788        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
789          it caused hanging threads on Windows
790        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
791          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
792        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
793          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
794          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
795          instrument was completely reloaded again.
796        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
797          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
798          project, slightly adjusted)
799        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
800          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
801        - fixed bug #162
802        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
803          multiple paths (#165)

809        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
810        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
811          introduced in previous fix)
812        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
813          playing a note in a key group
814        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
815          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
816        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
817          crashes and noise on such transitions).
818        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
819          (fixes #208)
820        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
821          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
822          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
823          shell's auto completion feature).
824        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
825          after each other (fixes #231).
826    
827    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
828    
829      * packaging changes:
830        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
831          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
832          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
833          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
834        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
835        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
836        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
837        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
838        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
839        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
840        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
841        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
842          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
843          directory above)
844        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
845        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
846        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
847        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
848    
849      * general changes:
850        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
851          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
852          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
853        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
854          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
855        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
856        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
857          unnecessarily long after an update
858        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
859          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
860          of gigedit)
861        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
862        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
863        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
864          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
865          implementation, which is usually faster)
866        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
867        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
868          VST plugin
869        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
870          only when there are actual changes
871        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
872          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
873        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
874        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
875        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
876          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
877          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
878        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
879          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
880        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
881          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
882          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
883          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
884        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
885          model more strictly
886        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
887        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
888          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
889          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
890        - updated linuxsampler man page
891    
892      * audio driver:
893        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
894          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
895        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
896          opposed to the LSCP specs
897        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
898          reflected the wrong value
899        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
900        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
901        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
902          jack_client_new
903        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
904        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
905          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
906          (fixes #117)
907        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
908          win64)
909        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
910        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
911        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
912        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
913          energyXT)
914        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
915          stereo
916        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
917          stored in the plugin state
918        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
919          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
920          (if available)
921        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
922          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
923    
924      * MIDI driver:
925        - added JACK MIDI driver
926        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
927          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
928          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
929        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
930          CoreMidi or AU
931        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
932        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
933          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
934        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
935    
936      * instruments database:
937        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
938          to the instruments database
939        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
940        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
941          in the instruments database
942          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
943        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
944          instrument database compilable
945        - added instrument database support on Windows
946          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
947          the instruments DB file is located in
948          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
949          databases for each windows user
950          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
951          and then creates an empty DB
952        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
953    
954      * Gigasampler format engine:
955        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
956          while notes were playing
957        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
958          isn't running
959        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
960          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
961        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
962          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
963        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
964          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
965          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
966          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
967          on)
968        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
969          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
970          be played
971        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
972          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
973          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
974          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
975          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
976          defined for the sampler
977        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
978          audio thread isn't running
979        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
980        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
981          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
982          sampler engine anymore
983        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
984          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
985        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
986          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
987          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
988        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
989          instrument-level gig parameters
990        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
991        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
992        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
993        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
994        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
995          note was silent
996        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
997          same time a new instrument was loading
998    
999      * LSCP server:
1000        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1001          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
1002          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1003        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1004          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
1005          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1006        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
1007          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
1008        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
1009          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
1010        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
1011          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
1012        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
1013          was incorrect
1014        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
1015        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
1016          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
1017          be triggered respectively
1018        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
1019          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
1020          which will be triggered respectively
1021        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
1022          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
1023        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
1024        - hard close of all sockets on exit
1025        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
1026          driver
1027    
1028      * Bug fixes:
1029        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
1030          to start instrument loading after another channel
1031        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
1032          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
1033        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
1034          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
1035        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
1036        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
1037          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
1038          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1039          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
1040          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1041        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
1042        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
1043        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
1044          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
1045        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
1046        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
1047          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
1048        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
1049          plugin was unloaded
1050        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
1051          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
1052        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
1053          Windows
1054    
1055    
1056    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
1057    
1058      * packaging changes:
1059        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
1060        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
1061          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
1062        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
1063    
1064      * general changes:
1065        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
1066          editor closed
1067        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
1068          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
1069          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
1070          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
1071        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
1072          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
1073          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
1074          bugs.
1075        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
1076          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
1077          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
1078          unaligned 32bit read and shift
1079        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
1080          output via ASIO)
1081        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
1082        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
1083          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1084          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)

1091    
1092      * LSCP server:
1093        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1094          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1095          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1096        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1097          apostrophes as well
1098        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1099          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1100          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1101          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
