# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * SFZ format engine:
4        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
5    
6      * Gigasampler format engine:
7        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
8          cutoff settings.
9    
10      * general changes:
11        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
12        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
13        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
14          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
15        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
16          position within a list.
17        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
18          a raw element pointer.
19        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
20          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
21          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
22          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
23        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
24          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
25          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
26          script features.
27        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
28          (CC #64) events.
29        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
30          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
31        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
32          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
33          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
34        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
35          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
36        - Added new C++ API method
37          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
38        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
39          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
40        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
41    
42      * packaging changes:
43        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
44          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
45        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
46          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
47    
48      * Real-time instrument scripts:
49        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
50        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
51          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
52          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
53        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
54          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
55          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
56          microseconds.
57        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
58          potentially causing undefined behavior.
59        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
60          variable.
61        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
62          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
63          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
64        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
65        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
66          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
67          script editor applications.
68        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
69        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
70          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
71          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
72        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
73          editor.
74        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
75          like "on note end on".
76        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
77        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
78        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
79        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
80        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
81        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
82        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
83          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
84          "event_status()" function.
85        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
86          and ".not.".
87        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
88          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
89        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
90        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
91          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
92          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
93        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
94        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
95        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
96        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
97        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
98        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
99        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
100        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
101          associative instead of left (to right).
102        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
103          (i.e. "if end if").
104        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
105        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
106        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
107        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
108        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
109          handled by the script parser).
110        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
111        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
112        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
113        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".
114        - NKSP Language: Added support for user defined script functions.
115        - Implemented built-in script function "change_attack()".
116        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
117        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
118        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
119          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
120          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
121          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
122          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
123          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
124        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
125        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
126        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
127        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
128        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
129          was loaded.
130        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
131          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
132          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
133          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
134        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
135          threatening scripts.
136        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
137        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
138          initializer list to an array variable.
139    
140      * Instruments DB:
141        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
142          undefined behavior.
143    
144    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
145    
146      * packaging changes:

148        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
149        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
150        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
151          doing "make dist"
152        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
153        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
154        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
155        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
156        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
157          directories are separate
158        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
159          configure
160        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
161        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
162        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
163        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
164          gcc 4.7 and C++11
165        - modernized configure script
166        - fixed linkage error when building with
167          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
168        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2

177        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
178        - support building with older jack versions
179        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
180        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
181          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
182          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
183    
184      * general changes:
185        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
186          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
187        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
188          respective profiling code is currently broken
189        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
190          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
191          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
192          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
193        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
194        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
195        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
196          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
197          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
198          effect type is)
199        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
200          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
201          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
202          effect type is)
203        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
204        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
205          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
206        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
207        - experimental support for per voice equalization
208        - added command line option --exec-after-init
209        - Introduced new C++ API method:
210          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
211          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
212          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
213          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
214          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
215        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
216        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
217        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
218        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
219        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
220        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
221          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
222          series (#182)
223        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
224          used it everywhere appropriate
225        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
226        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
227          SysEx way).
228        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
229          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
230          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
231        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
232        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
233          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
234          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
235          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
236          backward compatibility).
237        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
238          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
239        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
240        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
241          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
242        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
243        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
244        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
245        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
246          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
247          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
248          used so far).
249        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
250          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
251          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
252          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
253    
254      * Gigasampler format engine:
255        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
256        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
257          dimension zones is not a power of two
258        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
259          key
260        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
261        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
262        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
263          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
264        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
265          min value
266        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
267          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
268        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
269        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
270        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
271          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
272        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
273    
274      * SFZ format engine:
275        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
276        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
277        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
278          one from the gig engine
279        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
280        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
281        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
282        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
283        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
284          multiple regions
285        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
286          more compatible
287        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
288        - added support for off_mode=normal
289        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
290        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
291        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
292        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
293        - added support for transpose
294        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
295        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
296        - added more v1 aliases to parser
297        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
298        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
299        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
300        - optimized sample lookup
301        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
302          off_mode)
303        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
304        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
305        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
306        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
307        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
308          not set in sfz file
309        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
310          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,
311          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,
312          cutoff_cc, cutoff_chanaft.
313        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work
314        - added support for velocity effect on amplifier envelope time
315          (ampeg_vel2attack, ampeg_vel2decay, ampeg_vel2sustain and
316          ampeg_vel2release)
317        - added support for EG hold (ampeg_hold)
318        - added support for sample offset (offset)
319        - use the newly introduced signal units model

453          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
454        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
455        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
456          64 bit Windows

495          there is no reason for this limit
496        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
497        - MME: removed compiler warning
498        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
499          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
500          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
501        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled

511        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
512        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
513          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
514        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
515        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
516    
517      * audio driver:
518        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
519        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.

522          RT context.
523        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
524        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
525        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)

642        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
643          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
644        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
645          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
646        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads

650          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
651        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
652          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
653          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
654          instrument was completely reloaded again.
655        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
656          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave

670          introduced in previous fix)
671        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
672          playing a note in a key group
673        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
674          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
675        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
676          crashes and noise on such transitions).
677        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
678          (fixes #208)
679        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
680          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
681          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
682          shell's auto completion feature).
683        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
684          after each other (fixes #231).

804        - added instrument database support on Windows
805          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
806          the instruments DB file is located in
807          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
808          databases for each windows user
809          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
