3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5    
6      * general changes:
7        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
8          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
9        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
10          respective profiling code is currently broken
11        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
12          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
13          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
14          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
15        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
16        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
17        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
18          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
19          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
20          effect type is)
21        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
22          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
23          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
24          effect type is)
25        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
26    
27      * Gigasampler format engine:
28        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
29        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
30          dimension zones is not a power of two
31        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
32          key
33    
34      * SFZ format engine:
35        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
36        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
37        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
38          one from the gig engine
39        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
40        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
41        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
42        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
43        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
44          multiple regions
45        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
46          more compatible
47        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
48        - added support for off_mode=normal
49        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
50        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
51        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
52        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
53        - added support for transpose
54        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
55        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
56        - added more v1 aliases to parser
57        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
58        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
59        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
60        - optimized sample lookup
61        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
62          off_mode)
63        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
64        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
65        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
66        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
67    
68      * SoundFont format engine:
69        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
70        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
71        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
72    
73      * Host plugins:
74        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
75        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
76        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
77          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
78          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
79    
80      * MIDI driver:
81        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
82          the ALSA sequencer client name

242          the instruments DB file is located in
243          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different

278        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
279          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
280        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
281          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
282          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
283        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
284          instrument-level gig parameters
285        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
286        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
287        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting

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

317          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
318        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
319        - hard close of all sockets on exit

343        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
344          plugin was unloaded
