1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
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    
23      * SoundFont format engine:
24        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
25    
26      * Host plugins:
27        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
28        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
29        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
30          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
31          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
32    
33      * MIDI driver:
34        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
35          the ALSA sequencer client name
36    
37      * LSCP server:
38        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command
39          "SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA CC <sampler-chan> <ctrl> <val>"
40    
41      * Bug fixes:
42        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
43    
44    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)

51      - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3      - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
52        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
53        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)

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

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

161        - added instrument database support on Windows
162          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
163          the instruments DB file is located in
164          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
165          databases for each windows user
166          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
167          and then creates an empty DB

199        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
200          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
201        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact

233          be triggered respectively
234        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
235          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
