# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3      * General changes:
4        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
5          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
6        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
7          respective profiling code is currently broken
8    
9      * Gigasampler format engine:
10        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
11        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
12          dimension zones is not a power of two
13        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
14          key
15    
16      * SFZ format engine:
17        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
18    
19      * SoundFont format engine:
20        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
21    
22      * Host plugins:
23        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
24        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
25        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
26          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
27          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
28    
29      * MIDI driver:
30        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
31          the ALSA sequencer client name
32    
33      * LSCP server:
34        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command
35          "SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA CC <sampler-chan> <ctrl> <val>"
36    
37      * Bug fixes:
38        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
39    
40    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
41    
42      * packaging changes:
43        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
44          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
45          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
46          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
47        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
48        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
49        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
50        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
51        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
52        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
53        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
54        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
55          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
56          directory above)
57        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
58        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
59        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
60        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
61    
62      * general changes:
63        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
64          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
65          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
66        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
67          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
68        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
69        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
70          unnecessarily long after an update
71        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
72          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
73          of gigedit)
74        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
75        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
76        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
77          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
78          implementation, which is usually faster)
79        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
80        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
81          VST plugin
82        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
83          only when there are actual changes
84        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
85          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
86        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
87        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
88        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
89          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
90          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
91        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
92          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
93        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
94          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
95          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
96          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
97        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
98          model more strictly
99        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
100        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
101          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
102          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
103    
104      * audio driver:
105        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
106          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
107        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
108          opposed to the LSCP specs
109        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
110          reflected the wrong value
111        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
112        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
113        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
114          jack_client_new
115        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
116        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
117          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
118          (fixes #117)
119        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
120          win64)
121        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
122        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
123        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
124        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
125          energyXT)
126        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
127          stereo
128        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
129          stored in the plugin state
130        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
131          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
132          (if available)
133        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
134          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
135    
136      * MIDI driver:
137        - added JACK MIDI driver
138        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
139          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
140          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
141        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
142          CoreMidi or AU
143        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
144        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
145          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
146        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
147    
148      * instruments database:
149        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
150          to the instruments database
151        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
152        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
153          in the instruments database
154          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
155        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
156          instrument database compilable
157        - added instrument database support on Windows
158          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
159          the instruments DB file is located in
160          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
161          databases for each windows user
162          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
163          and then creates an empty DB
164        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
165    
166      * Gigasampler format engine:
167        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
168          while notes were playing
169        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
170          isn't running
171        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
172          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
173        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
174          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
175        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
176          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
177          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
178          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
179          on)
180        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
181          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
182          be played
183        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
184          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
185          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
186          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
187          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
188          defined for the sampler
189        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
190          audio thread isn't running
191        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
192        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
193          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
194          sampler engine anymore
195        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
196          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
197        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
198          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
199          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
200        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
201          instrument-level gig parameters
202        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
203        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
204        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
205        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
206        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
207          note was silent
208        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
209          same time a new instrument was loading
210    
211      * LSCP server:
212        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
213          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
214          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
215        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
216          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
217          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
218        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
219          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
220        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
221          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
222        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
223          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
224        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
225          was incorrect
226        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
227        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
228          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
229          be triggered respectively
230        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
231          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
232          which will be triggered respectively
233        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
234          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
235        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
236        - hard close of all sockets on exit
237        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
238          driver
239    
240      * Bug fixes:
241        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
242          to start instrument loading after another channel
243        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
244          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
245        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
246          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
247        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
248        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
249          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
250          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
251          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
252          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
253        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
254        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
255        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
256          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
257        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
258        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
259          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
260        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
261          plugin was unloaded
262        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
263          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
264        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
265          Windows
266
