# 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        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
140        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".
141    
142      * Instruments DB:
143        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
144          undefined behavior.
145    
146    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
147    
148      * packaging changes:

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

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

451        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
452        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
453        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
454          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
455          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
456        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
457        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
458          64 bit Windows

474        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
475        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI

489          informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
490          spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
491          with the sampler.
492    
493      * MIDI driver:
494        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
495          the ALSA sequencer client name

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

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

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

580        - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
581          automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon

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

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

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