1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
5          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
6          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
7          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
8        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
9    
10      * general changes:
11        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
12          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
13          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
14        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
15          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
16        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
17        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
18          unnecessarily long after an update
19        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
20          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
21          of gigedit)
22        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
23        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
24        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
25          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
26          implementation, which is usually faster)
27        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
28        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
29          VST plugin
30        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
31          only when there are actual changes
32    
33      * audio driver:
34        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
35          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
36        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
37          opposed to the LSCP specs
38        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
39          reflected the wrong value
40        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
41        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
42        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
43          jack_client_new
44    
45      * MIDI driver:
46        - added JACK MIDI driver
47        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
48          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
49          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
50    
51      * instruments database:
52        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
53          to the instruments database
54        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
55        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
56          in the instruments database
57          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
58    
59      * Gigasampler format engine:
60        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
61          while notes were playing
62        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
63          isn't running
64        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
65          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
66        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
67          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
68        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
69          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
70          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
71          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
72          on)
73        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
74          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
75          be played
76        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
77          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
78          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
79          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
80          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
81          defined for the sampler
82        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
83          audio thread isn't running
84    
85      * LSCP server:
86        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
87          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
88          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
89        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
90          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
91          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
92        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
93          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
94        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
95          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
96        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
97          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
98        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
99          was incorrect
100        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
101    
102      * Bug fixes:
103        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
104          to start instrument loading after another channel
105    
106    
107    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
108    
109      * packaging changes:
110        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
111        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
112          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
113        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
114    
115      * general changes:
116        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
117          editor closed
118        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
119          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
120          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
121          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
122        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
123          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
124          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
125          bugs.
126        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
127          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
128          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
129          unaligned 32bit read and shift
130        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
131          output via ASIO)
132        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
133        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
134          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
135          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
136    
137      * AUDIO driver:
138        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
139    
140      * MIDI driver:
141        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
142    
143      * LSCP server:
144        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
145          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
146          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
147        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
148          apostrophes as well
149        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
150          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
151          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
152          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
153          running on
154
