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    
26      * general changes:
27        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
28          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
29        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
30          respective profiling code is currently broken
31        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
32          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
33          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
34          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
35        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
36        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
38          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40          effect type is)
41        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
42          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
43          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
44          effect type is)
45        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
46        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
47          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
48        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
49        - experimental support for per voice equalization
50        - added command line option --exec-after-init
51        - Introduced new C++ API method:
52          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
53          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
54          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
55          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
56          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
57    
58      * Gigasampler format engine:
59        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
60        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
61          dimension zones is not a power of two
62        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
63          key
64

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

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

307      * Bug fixes:
308        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
309        - minor valgrind fixes
310        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
311          channel to a different engine type
312        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
313          type while an instrument load was in progress
314        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
315          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
316        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
317          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
318        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
319          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
320        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
321        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
322          it caused hanging threads on Windows
323        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
324          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
325        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
326          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
327          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
328          instrument was completely reloaded again.
329        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
330          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
331          project, slightly adjusted)

333          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
334        - fixed bug #162

336          multiple paths (#165)
337        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
338        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour

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