2    
3      * General changes:
4        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
5          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
6    
7      * Gigasampler format engine:
8        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
9        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
10          dimension zones is not a power of two
11        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
12          key
13    
14      * SFZ format engine
15        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
16    
17      * SoundFont format engine
18        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
19    
20      * Host plugins:
21        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
22        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
23        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
24          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
25          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
26    
27      * MIDI driver:
28        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
29          the ALSA sequencer client name
30    
31      * LSCP server:
32        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command
33          "SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA CC <sampler-chan> <ctrl> <val>"
34    
35      * Bug fixes:
36        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range

51        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
52        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
53          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
54          directory above)
55        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
56        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
57        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db

90          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
91        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
