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        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
10    
11      * general changes:
12        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
13          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
14          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
15        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
16          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
17        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
18        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
19          unnecessarily long after an update
20        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
21          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
22          of gigedit)
23        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
24        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
25        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
26          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
27          implementation, which is usually faster)
28        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
29        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
30          VST plugin
31        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
32          only when there are actual changes
33        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
34          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
35    
36      * audio driver:
37        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
38          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
39        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
40          opposed to the LSCP specs
41        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
42          reflected the wrong value
43        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
44        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
45        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
46          jack_client_new
47    
48      * MIDI driver:
49        - added JACK MIDI driver
50        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
51          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
52          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
53    
54      * instruments database:
55        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
56          to the instruments database
57        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
58        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
59          in the instruments database
60          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
61    
62      * Gigasampler format engine:
63        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
64          while notes were playing
65        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
66          isn't running
67        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
68          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
69        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
70          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
71        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
72          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
73          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
74          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
75          on)
76        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
77          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
78          be played
79        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
80          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
81          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
82          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
83          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
84          defined for the sampler
85        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
86          audio thread isn't running
87    
88      * LSCP server:
89        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
90          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
91          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
92        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
93          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
94          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
95        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
96          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
97        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
98          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
99        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
100          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
101        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
102          was incorrect
103        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
104    
105      * Bug fixes:
106        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
107          to start instrument loading after another channel
108
