# 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        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
6        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
7          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
8    
9      * Gigasampler format engine:
10        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
11          cutoff settings.
12    
13      * general changes:
14        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
15        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
16        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
17          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
18        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
19          position within a list.
20        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
21          a raw element pointer.
22        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
23          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
24          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
25          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
26        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
27          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
28          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
29          script features.
30        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
31          (CC #64) events.
32        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
33          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
34        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
35          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
36          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
37        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
38          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
39        - Added new C++ API method
40          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
41        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
42          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
43        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
44    
45      * packaging changes:
46        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
47          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
48        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
49          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
50    
51      * Real-time instrument scripts:
52        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
53        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
54          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
55          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
56        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
57          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
58          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
59          microseconds.
60        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
61          potentially causing undefined behavior.
62        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
63          variable.
64        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
65          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
66          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
67        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
68        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
69          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
70          script editor applications.
71        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
72        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
73          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
74          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
75        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
76          editor.
77        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
78          like "on note end on".
79        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
80        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
81        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
82        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
83        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
84        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
85        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
86          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
87          "event_status()" function.
88        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
89          and ".not.".
90        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
91          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
92        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
93        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
94          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
95          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
96        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
97        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
98        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
99        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
100        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
101        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
102        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
103        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
104          associative instead of left (to right).
105        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
106          (i.e. "if end if").
107        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
108        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
109        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
110        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
111        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
112          handled by the script parser).
113        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
114        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
115        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
116        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".
117        - NKSP Language: Added support for user defined script functions.
118        - Implemented built-in script function "change_attack()".
119        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
120        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
121        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
122          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
123          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
124          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
125          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
126          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
127        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
128        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
129        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
130        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
131        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
132          was loaded.
133        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
134          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
135          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
136          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
137        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
138          threatening scripts.
139        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
140        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
141          initializer list to an array variable.
142        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
143        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".
144    
145      * Instruments DB:
146        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
147          undefined behavior.
148        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
149        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
150          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
151        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
152        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
153    
154    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)

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

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

461        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
462          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
463          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
464        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
465        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
466          64 bit Windows

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

505          there is no reason for this limit
506        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
507        - MME: removed compiler warning
508        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
509          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
510          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
511        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled

521        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
522        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
523          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
524        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
525        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
526    
527      * audio driver:
528        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
529        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.

532          RT context.
533        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
534        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
535        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)

652        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
653          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
654        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
655          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
656        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads

659        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
660          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
661        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
662          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
663          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
664          instrument was completely reloaded again.
665        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
666          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
667          project, slightly adjusted)

679        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
680          introduced in previous fix)
681        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
682          playing a note in a key group
683        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
684          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
685        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
686          crashes and noise on such transitions).
687        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
688          (fixes #208)
689        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
690          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
691          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
692          shell's auto completion feature).
693        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
694          after each other (fixes #231).
