1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
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    
65      * SFZ format engine:
66        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)

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

304      * Bug fixes:
305        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
306        - minor valgrind fixes

308          channel to a different engine type
309        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
310          type while an instrument load was in progress
311        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
312          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
313        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
314          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
315        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
316          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
317        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
318        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as

320        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
321          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
322        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
323          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
324          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
325          instrument was completely reloaded again.
326        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
327          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
328          project, slightly adjusted)

336          (#176)
337        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
338        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
339    
340    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
341    
342      * packaging changes:
343        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
344          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
345          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
346          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
347        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
348        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
349        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
350        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
351        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
352        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
353        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
354        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
355          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
356          directory above)
357        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
358        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
359        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
360        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
361    
362      * general changes:
363        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
364          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
365          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
366        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
367          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
368        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
369        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
370          unnecessarily long after an update
371        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
372          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
373          of gigedit)
374        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
375        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
376        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
377          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
378          implementation, which is usually faster)
379        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
380        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
381          VST plugin
382        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
383          only when there are actual changes
384        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
385          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
386        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
387        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
388        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
389          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
390          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
391        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
392          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
393        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
394          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
395          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
396          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
397        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
398          model more strictly
399        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
400        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
401          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
402          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
403    
404      * audio driver:
405        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
406          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
407        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
408          opposed to the LSCP specs
409        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
410          reflected the wrong value
411        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
412        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
413        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
414          jack_client_new
415        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
416        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
417          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
418          (fixes #117)
419        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
420          win64)
421        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
422        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
423        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
424        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
425          energyXT)
426        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
427          stereo
428        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
429          stored in the plugin state
430        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
431          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
432          (if available)
433        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
434          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
435    
436      * MIDI driver:
437        - added JACK MIDI driver
438        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
439          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
440          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
441        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
442          CoreMidi or AU
443        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
444        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
445          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
446        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
447    
448      * instruments database:
449        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
450          to the instruments database
451        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
452        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
453          in the instruments database
454          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
455        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
456          instrument database compilable
457        - added instrument database support on Windows
458          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
459          the instruments DB file is located in
460          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
461          databases for each windows user
462          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
463          and then creates an empty DB
464        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
465    
466      * Gigasampler format engine:
467        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
468          while notes were playing
469        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
470          isn't running
471        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
472          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
473        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
474          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
475        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
476          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
477          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
478          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
479          on)
480        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
481          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
482          be played
483        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
484          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
485          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
486          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
487          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
488          defined for the sampler
489        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
490          audio thread isn't running
491        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
492        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
493          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
494          sampler engine anymore
495        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
496          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
497        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
498          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
499          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
500        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
501          instrument-level gig parameters
502        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
503        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
504        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
505        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
506        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
507          note was silent
508        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
509          same time a new instrument was loading
510    
511      * LSCP server:
512        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
513          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
514          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
515        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
516          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
517          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
518        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
519          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
520        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
521          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
522        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
523          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
524        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
525          was incorrect
526        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
527        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
528          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
529          be triggered respectively
530        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
531          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
532          which will be triggered respectively
533        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
534          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
535        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
536        - hard close of all sockets on exit
537        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
538          driver
539    
540      * Bug fixes:
541        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
542          to start instrument loading after another channel
543        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
544          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
545        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
546          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
547        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
548        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
549          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
550          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
551          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
552          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
553        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
554        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
555        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
556          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
557        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
558        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
559          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
560        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
561          plugin was unloaded
562        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
563          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
564        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
565          Windows
