2    
3      * plugin changes:
4        - LV2 Persist + Files support (patch by David Robillard)
5    
6      * packaging changes:
7        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
8        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
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 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
18    
19      * general changes:
20        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
21          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
22        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
23          respective profiling code is currently broken
24        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
25          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
26          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
27          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
28        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
29        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
30        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
31          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
32          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
33          effect type is)
34        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
35          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
36          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
37          effect type is)
38        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
39        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
40          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
41    
42      * Gigasampler format engine:
43        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
44        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
45          dimension zones is not a power of two
46        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
47          key
48    
49      * SFZ format engine:
50        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
51        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
52        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
53          one from the gig engine
54        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
55        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
56        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
57        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
58        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
59          multiple regions
60        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
61          more compatible
62        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
63        - added support for off_mode=normal
64        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
65        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
66        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
67        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve

70        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
71        - added more v1 aliases to parser
72        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
73        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
74        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
75        - optimized sample lookup
76        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
77          off_mode)
78        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
79        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
80        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
81        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
82        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
83          not set in sfz file
84        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
85          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,
86          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,
87          cutoff_cc, cutoff_chanaft.
88        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work

101        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
102          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
103    
104      * Host plugins:
105        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
106        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
107        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
108          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
109          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
110        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
111        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on

117          specified

120        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
121          the ALSA sequencer client name
