27        unnecessarily long after an update        unnecessarily long after an update
28        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
29          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
30          of gigedit)
31        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
32        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
33        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
34          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
35          implementation, which is usually faster)
36        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
37        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
38          VST plugin
39        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
40          only when there are actual changes
41        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
42          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
43        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
44        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
45        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
46          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
47          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
48        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
49          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
50        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
51          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
52          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
53          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
54        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
55          model more strictly
56        - fixes for using large audio device buffers

65      - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver      - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
66        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
67        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
68          jack_client_new
69        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
70        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
71          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
72          (fixes #117)
73        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
74          win64)
75        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
76        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
77        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
78        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
79          energyXT)
80    
81      * MIDI driver:
82        - added JACK MIDI driver
83        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
84          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
85          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
86        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
87          CoreMidi or AU
88        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
89    
90    * instruments database:    * instruments database:
91      - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments      - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
92        to the instruments database        to the instruments database
93        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
94        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
95          in the instruments database
96          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
97        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
98          instrument database compilable
99            - added instrument database support on Windows
100              works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
101              the instruments DB file is located in
102              %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
103              databases for each windows user
104              if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
105              and then creates an empty DB
106    
107    * Gigasampler format engine:    * Gigasampler format engine:
108      - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted      - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
109        while notes were playing        while notes were playing
110        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
111          isn't running
112        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
113          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
114        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
115          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
116        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
117          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
118          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
119          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
120          on)
121        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
122          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
123          be played
124        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
125          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
126          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
127          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
128          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
129          defined for the sampler
130        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
131          audio thread isn't running
132        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
133        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
134          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
135          sampler engine anymore
136        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
137          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
138        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
139          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
140          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
141        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
142          instrument-level gig parameters
143        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
144        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
145        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
146        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
147        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
148          note was silent
149    
150      * LSCP server:
151        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
152          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
153          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
154        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
155          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
156          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
157        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
158          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
159        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
160          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
161        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
162          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
163        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
164          was incorrect
165        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
166        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
167          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
168          be triggered respectively
169        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
170          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
171          which will be triggered respectively
172        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
173          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
174        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
175        - hard close of all sockets on exit
176        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
177          driver
178    
179      * Bug fixes:
180        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
181          to start instrument loading after another channel
182        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
183          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
184        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
185          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
186        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
187        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
188          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
189          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
190          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
191          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
192        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
193        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
194        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
195          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
196        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
197        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
198          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
199        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
200          plugin was unloaded
201        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
202          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
