 Version CVS HEAD (?)
 
+  * general changes:
+    - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
+      load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
+      (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
+    - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
+      plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
+
+  * audio driver:
+    - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
+      max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
+    - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
+      opposed to the LSCP specs
+    - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
+      reflected the wrong value
+
+  * instruments database:
+    - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
+      to the instruments database
+
+Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
+
   * packaging changes:
     - added autoconf checks for pthread library
     - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
       glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
+    - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
 
   * general changes:
     - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
       editor closed
-    - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h:
-      fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero out all the space
-      operator--() did not apply size_mask after decrementing the read_ptr
-      DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in order to avoid problems with 
-        the _NonVolatileReader functions.
-     - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in GetWriteSpace()
-       since this function is currently only used in the stream's
-       qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any bugs
-     Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h:
-       cubic interpolation now works in 24bit mode too
-       faster method to read 24bit words on little endian machines (x86):
-       replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1 unaligned 32bit read and shift 
+    - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
+      out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
+      decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
+      order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.

+      endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
+      unaligned 32bit read and shift
+    - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
+      output via ASIO)
+    - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
+    - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
+      (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
+      SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
+
+  * AUDIO driver:
+    - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
 
   * MIDI driver:
-    - added MME Windows MIDI driver      
+    - added MME Windows MIDI driver
 
   * LSCP server:
     - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
       forward slash path separators instead of backslash
       (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
+    - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
+      apostrophes as well
+    - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
+      "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
+      "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
+      about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
+      running on
