2    
3      * General changes:
4        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
5          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
6        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
7          respective profiling code is currently broken
8        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
9          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
10          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
11          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
12    
13      * Gigasampler format engine:
14        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
15        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
16          dimension zones is not a power of two
17        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
18          key
19    
20      * SFZ format engine:
21        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
22        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
23        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
24          one from the gig engine
25        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
26        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
27        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
28        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
29        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
30          multiple regions
31        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
32          more compatible
33        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
34        - added support for off_mode=normal
35        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
36        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
37    
38      * SoundFont format engine:
39        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
40    
41      * Host plugins:
42        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
43        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
44        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
45          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
46          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
47    
48      * MIDI driver:
49        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
50          the ALSA sequencer client name
51    
52      * LSCP server:
53        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command
54          "SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA CC <sampler-chan> <ctrl> <val>"
55    
56      * Bug fixes:
57        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
58    
59    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)

109          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
110        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
111          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
112        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following

175          instrument database compilable
176        - added instrument database support on Windows
177          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
178          the instruments DB file is located in
179          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
180          databases for each windows user
181          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir

194      - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message      - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
195          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
196          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
197          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
198          on)
199        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
200          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
201          be played
202        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
203          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
204          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
205          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
206          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
207          defined for the sampler
208        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
209          audio thread isn't running
210        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)

212          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
213          sampler engine anymore
214        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
215          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
216        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
217          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
218          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
219        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
220          instrument-level gig parameters
221        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
222        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
223        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
224        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
225        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
226          note was silent
227        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
228          same time a new instrument was loading
229

238        SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH        SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
239        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
240          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
241        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
242          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
243        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
244          was incorrect
245        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
246        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
247          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
248          be triggered respectively
249        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
250          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
251          which will be triggered respectively
252        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
253          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
254        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
255        - hard close of all sockets on exit
256        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
257          driver
258    
259      * Bug fixes:
260        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
261          to start instrument loading after another channel
262        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
263          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
264        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
265          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
266        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
267        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
268          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
269          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
270          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
271          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
272        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
273        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
274        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
275          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
276        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
277        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
278          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
279        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
280          plugin was unloaded
281        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
282          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
283        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
284          Windows
