99        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
100        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
101          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS

118          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
119    
120    * MIDI driver:    * MIDI driver:
121      - added JACK MIDI driver      - added JACK MIDI driver
122        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
123          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
124          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
125        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
126          CoreMidi or AU
127        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
128        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by

134        to the instruments database        to the instruments database
135        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
136        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
137          in the instruments database
138          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)

140          instrument database compilable
141        - added instrument database support on Windows
142          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
143          the instruments DB file is located in
144          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
145          databases for each windows user
146          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
147          and then creates an empty DB
148        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
149    
150    * Gigasampler format engine:    * Gigasampler format engine:

155      - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,      - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
156        enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples        enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
157        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
158          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
159        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
160          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
161          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
162          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
163          on)
164        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
165          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
166          be played
167        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
168          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
169          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
170          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
171          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
172          defined for the sampler
173        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
174          audio thread isn't running
175        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
176        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
177          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
178          sampler engine anymore
179        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
180          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
181        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
182          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
183          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
184        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
185          instrument-level gig parameters
186        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
187        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
188        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
189        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
190        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
191          note was silent
192        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
193          same time a new instrument was loading
194    
195    * LSCP server:    * LSCP server:
196      - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to      - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
# Line 56  Version CVS HEAD (?) Line 199  Version CVS HEAD (?)
199      - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to      - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
200        react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only        react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
201        Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)        Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
202        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
203          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
204        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
205          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
206        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
207          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
208        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
209          was incorrect
210        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
211        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
212          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
213          be triggered respectively
214        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
215          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
216          which will be triggered respectively
217        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
218          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
219        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
220        - hard close of all sockets on exit
221        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
222          driver
223    
224      * Bug fixes:
225        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
226          to start instrument loading after another channel
227        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
228          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
229        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
230          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
231        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
232        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
233          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
234          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
235          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
236          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
237        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
238        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
239        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
240          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
241        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
242        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
243          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
244        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
245          plugin was unloaded
246        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
247          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
248        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
249          Windows
