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

23        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
24          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
25        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
26          respective profiling code is currently broken
27        - Introduced support for optional environment variable

32        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
33        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
34          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
35          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
36          effect type is)
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
38          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40          effect type is)
41        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects

331          the instruments DB file is located in
332          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
333          databases for each windows user
334          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
335          and then creates an empty DB

345        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
346          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
347        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
348          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
349          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
350          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
351          on)
352        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
353          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
354          be played
355        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
356          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
357          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
358          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
359          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
360          defined for the sampler
361        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
362          audio thread isn't running
363        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
364        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
365          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
366          sampler engine anymore
367        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
368          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
369        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
370          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
371          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
372        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
373          instrument-level gig parameters
374        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
375        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
376        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
377        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
378        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
379          note was silent
380        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
381          same time a new instrument was loading

389        Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)        Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
390        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
391          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
392        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
393          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
394        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
395          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
396        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
397          was incorrect
398        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
399        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
400          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
401          be triggered respectively
402        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
403          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
404          which will be triggered respectively
405        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
406          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
407        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
408        - hard close of all sockets on exit
409        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
410          driver
411    
412      * Bug fixes:
413        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
414          to start instrument loading after another channel
415        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
416          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
417        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
418          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
419        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
420        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
421          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
422          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
423          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
424          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
425        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
426        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
427        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
428          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
429        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
430        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
431          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
432        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
433          plugin was unloaded
434        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
435          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
436        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
437          Windows
