3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
5          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
6          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
7          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
8        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
9    
10      * general changes:
11        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
12          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
13          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
14        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
15          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
16        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
17        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
18          unnecessarily long after an update
19        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
20          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
21          of gigedit)
22        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
23        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
24        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
25          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
26          implementation, which is usually faster)
27    
28      * audio driver:
29        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
30          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
31        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
32          opposed to the LSCP specs
33        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
34          reflected the wrong value
35        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
36    
37      * MIDI driver:
38        - added JACK MIDI driver
39        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
40          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
41          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
42    
43      * instruments database:
44        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
45          to the instruments database
46        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
47    
48      * Gigasampler format engine:
49        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
50          while notes were playing
51        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
52          isn't running
53        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
54          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
55        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
56          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
57        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
58    
59      * LSCP server:
60        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
61          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
62          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
63        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
64          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
65          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
66        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
67          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
68    
69    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
70    
71      * packaging changes:
72      - added autoconf checks for pthread library      - added autoconf checks for pthread library
73      - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled      - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
74        glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)        glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
75        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows

92        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
93          output via ASIO)
94        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
95        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
96          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
97          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
