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
