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

139        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
140        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
141        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
142          doing "make dist"
143        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
144        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
145        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
146        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
147        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
148          directories are separate
149        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
150          configure
151        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
152        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
153        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions

156        - modernized configure script
157        - fixed linkage error when building with
158          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
159        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
160        - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES
161        - fixed building with C++11

168        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
169        - support building with older jack versions
170        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
171        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
172          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
173          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
174    
175      * general changes:
176        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
177          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
178        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
179          respective profiling code is currently broken
180        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
181          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
182          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
183          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
184        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
185        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
186        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
187          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
188          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
189          effect type is)
190        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
191          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
192          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
193          effect type is)
194        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
195        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
196          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
197        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
198        - experimental support for per voice equalization
199        - added command line option --exec-after-init
200        - Introduced new C++ API method:
201          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
202          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
203          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
204          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
205          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
206        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
207        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
208        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
209        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
210        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
211        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
212          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
213          series (#182)
214        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
215          used it everywhere appropriate
216        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
217        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
218          SysEx way).
219        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
220          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
221          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
222        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
223        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
224          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
225          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
226          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
227          backward compatibility).
228        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
229          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
230        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
231        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
232          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
233        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
234        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
235        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
236        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
237          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
238          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
239          used so far).
240        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
241          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
242          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
243          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
244    
245      * Gigasampler format engine:
246        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
247        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
248          dimension zones is not a power of two
249        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
250          key
251        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
252        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
253        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
254          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
255        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
256          min value
257        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
258          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
259        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
260        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
261        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
262          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
263        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
264    
265      * SFZ format engine:
266        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
267        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
268        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
269          one from the gig engine
270        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
271        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
272        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
273        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
274        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
275          multiple regions
276        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
277          more compatible
278        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
279        - added support for off_mode=normal
280        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
281        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
282        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
283        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
284        - added support for transpose
285        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
286        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
287        - added more v1 aliases to parser
288        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
289        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
290        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
291        - optimized sample lookup
292        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
293          off_mode)
294        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
295        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
296        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
297        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
298        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
299          not set in sfz file
300        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
301          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,
302          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,
303          cutoff_cc, cutoff_chanaft.
304        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work
305        - added support for velocity effect on amplifier envelope time
306          (ampeg_vel2attack, ampeg_vel2decay, ampeg_vel2sustain and
307          ampeg_vel2release)
308        - added support for EG hold (ampeg_hold)

440        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
441        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
442        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
443          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
444          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
445        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
446        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
447          64 bit Windows
448        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
449          stereo

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

477        - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
478          informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
479          spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
480          with the sampler.
481    
482      * MIDI driver:
483        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
484          the ALSA sequencer client name

486          there is no reason for this limit
487        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
488        - MME: removed compiler warning
489        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
490          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
491          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
492        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
493          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports

500        - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
501        - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
502        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
503        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
504          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
505        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
506        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
507    
508      * audio driver:
509        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
510        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.
511        - JACK audio: react on buffer size changes.

513          RT context.
514        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
515        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
516        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)

631        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
632          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
633        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
634          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
635        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads

638        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
639          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
640        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
641          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
642          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
643          instrument was completely reloaded again.
644        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
645          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
646          project, slightly adjusted)

657        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
658        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
659          introduced in previous fix)
660        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
661          playing a note in a key group
662        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
663          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
664        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
665          crashes and noise on such transitions).
666        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
667          (fixes #208)
668        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
669          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
670          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
671          shell's auto completion feature).
672        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
673          after each other (fixes #231).
