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