1    Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3      * packaging changes:

9        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
10        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
11        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
12        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
13        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
14          directories are separate

16          configure
17        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
18        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
19        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
20        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with

29        - build fix: libsndfile compiler flags were missing in some
30          makefiles
31        - fix for building with bison 3.0 (#202)
32        - Mac OS X: added temporary hack allowing to spawn gigedit as callback
33          on the process's main thread
34        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
35        - support building with older jack versions
36        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
37    
38      * general changes:
39        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
40          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
41        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
42          respective profiling code is currently broken
43        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
44          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
45          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
46          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
47        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
48        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
49        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
50          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
51          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
52          effect type is)
53        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
54          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
55          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
56          effect type is)
57        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
58        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
59          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
60        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
61        - experimental support for per voice equalization
62        - added command line option --exec-after-init
63        - Introduced new C++ API method:
64          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
65          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
66          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
67          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
68          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
69        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
70        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
71        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
72        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
73        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
74        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
75          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
76          series (#182)
77        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
78          used it everywhere appropriate
79        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
80        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
81          SysEx way).
82        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
83          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
84          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
85        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
86        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
87          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
88          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
89          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
90          backward compatibility).
91        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
92          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
93        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
94    
95      * Gigasampler format engine:
96        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
97        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
98          dimension zones is not a power of two
99        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
100          key
101        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
102        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
103        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
104          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
105        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
106          min value
107        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
108          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
109        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
110    
111      * SFZ format engine:
112        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
113        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
114        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
115          one from the gig engine

117        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
118        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
119        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
120        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
121          multiple regions

281        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
282        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
283          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
284          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
285        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
286        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
287          64 bit Windows
288        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
289          stereo
290        - VST: made it possible to build the VST plugin for Mac
291        - AU: link AU plugin dynamically if --disable-shared isn't
292          specified
293        - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)

295          the plugin was loaded a second time (#174)
296        - plugin bugfix: instrument loading hang when the plugin was
297          loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
298          similar fix was for Windows)
299        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
300        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
301        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
302          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
303        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
304        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
305          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
306        - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
307          and event
308        - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin
309        - LV2: changed number of output channels to 16 stereo, just like
310          the VST and AU plugins
311        - LV2: fixed save/restore of SFZ state (patch by David Robillard)
312        - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac

317        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
318          the ALSA sequencer client name
319        - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
320          there is no reason for this limit
321        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
322        - MME: removed compiler warning
323        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
324          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
325          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
326        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
327          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
328          (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
329        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
330        - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
331        - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical

385      * Bug fixes:
386        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
387        - minor valgrind fixes
388        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
389          channel to a different engine type
390        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
391          type while an instrument load was in progress
392        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
393          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
394        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
395          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
396        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
397          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
398        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
399        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
400          it caused hanging threads on Windows
401        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
402          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
403        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
404          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
405          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
406          instrument was completely reloaded again.
407        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
408          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
409          project, slightly adjusted)
410        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
411          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

424          playing a note in a key group
425        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
426          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
427        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
428          crashes and noise on such transitions).
429        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
430          (fixes #208)
431    
432    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
433    
434      * packaging changes:
435        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
436          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
437          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
438          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
439        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
440        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
441        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
442        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
443        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
444        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
445        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
446        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
447          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
448          directory above)
449        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
450        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
451        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
452        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
453    
454      * general changes:
455        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
456          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
457          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
458        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
459          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
460        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
461        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
462          unnecessarily long after an update
463        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
464          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
465          of gigedit)
466        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
467        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
468        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
469          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
470          implementation, which is usually faster)
471        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
472        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
473          VST plugin
474        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
475          only when there are actual changes
476        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
477          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
478        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
479        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
480        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
481          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
482          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
483        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
484          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
485        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
486          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
487          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
488          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
489        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
490          model more strictly
491        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
492        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
493          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
494          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
495        - updated linuxsampler man page
496    
497      * audio driver:
498        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
499          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
500        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
501          opposed to the LSCP specs
502        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
503          reflected the wrong value
504        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
505        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
506        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
507          jack_client_new
508        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
509        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
510          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
511          (fixes #117)
512        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
513          win64)
514        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
515        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
516        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
517        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
518          energyXT)
519        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
520          stereo
521        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
522          stored in the plugin state
523        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
524          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
525          (if available)
526        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
527          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
528    
529      * MIDI driver:
530        - added JACK MIDI driver
531        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
532          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
533          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
534        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
535          CoreMidi or AU
536        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
537        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
538          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
539        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
540    
541      * instruments database:
542        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
543          to the instruments database
544        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
545        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
546          in the instruments database
547          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
548        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
549          instrument database compilable
550        - added instrument database support on Windows
551          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
552          the instruments DB file is located in
553          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
554          databases for each windows user
555          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
556          and then creates an empty DB
557        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
558    
559      * Gigasampler format engine:
560        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
561          while notes were playing
562        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
563          isn't running
564        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
565          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
566        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
567          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
568        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
569          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
570          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
571          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
572          on)
573        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
574          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
575          be played
576        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
577          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
578          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
579          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
580          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
581          defined for the sampler
582        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
583          audio thread isn't running
584        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
585        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
586          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
587          sampler engine anymore
588        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
589          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
590        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
591          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
592          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
593        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
594          instrument-level gig parameters
595        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
596        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
597        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
598        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
599        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
600          note was silent
601        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
602          same time a new instrument was loading
603    
604      * LSCP server:
605        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
606          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
607          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
608        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
609          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
610          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
611        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
612          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
613        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
614          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
615        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
616          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
617        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
618          was incorrect
619        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
620        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
621          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
622          be triggered respectively
623        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
624          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
625          which will be triggered respectively
626        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
627          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
628        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
629        - hard close of all sockets on exit
630        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
631          driver
632    
633      * Bug fixes:
634        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
635          to start instrument loading after another channel
636        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
637          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
638        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
639          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
640        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
641        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
642          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
643          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
644          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
645          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
646        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
647        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
648        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
649          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
650        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
651        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
652          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
653        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
654          plugin was unloaded
655        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
656          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
657        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
658          Windows
