35        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
36          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
37          implementation, which is usually faster)
38        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
39        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
40          VST plugin
41        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
42          only when there are actual changes
43        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
44          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
45        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
46        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
47        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
48          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
49          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
50        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
51          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
52        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following

69        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
70          jack_client_new
71        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
72        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
73          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
74          (fixes #117)
75        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
76          win64)
77        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
78        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
79        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
80        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
81          energyXT)
82        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
83          stereo
84        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
85          stored in the plugin state
86    
87    * MIDI driver:    * MIDI driver:
88      - added JACK MIDI driver      - added JACK MIDI driver
89        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
90          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
91          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
92        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
93          CoreMidi or AU
94        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
95        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
96          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
97    
98    * instruments database:    * instruments database:
99      - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments      - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
100        to the instruments database        to the instruments database
101        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
102        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
103          in the instruments database
104          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
105        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
106          instrument database compilable
107            - added instrument database support on Windows
108              works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
109              the instruments DB file is located in
110              %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
111              databases for each windows user
112              if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
113              and then creates an empty DB
114    
115    * Gigasampler format engine:    * Gigasampler format engine:
116      - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted      - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
117        while notes were playing        while notes were playing
118      - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread      - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
119        isn't running        isn't running
120        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
121          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
122        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
123          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
124        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
125          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
126          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
127          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
128          on)
129        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
130          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
131          be played
132        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
133          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
134          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
135          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
136          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
137          defined for the sampler
138        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
139          audio thread isn't running
140        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
141        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
142          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
143          sampler engine anymore
144        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
145          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
146        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
147          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
148          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
149        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
150          instrument-level gig parameters
151        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
152        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
153        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
154        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
155        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
156          note was silent
157        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
158          same time a new instrument was loading
159    
160      * LSCP server:
161        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
162          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
163          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
164        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
165          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
166          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
167        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
168          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
169        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
170          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
171        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
172          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
173        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
174          was incorrect
175        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
176        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
177          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
178          be triggered respectively
179        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
180          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
181          which will be triggered respectively
182        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
183          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
184        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
185        - hard close of all sockets on exit
186        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
187          driver
188    
189      * Bug fixes:
190        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
191          to start instrument loading after another channel
192        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
193          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
194        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
195          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
196        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
197        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
198          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
199          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
200          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
201          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
202        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
203        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
204        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
205          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
206        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
207        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
208          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
209        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
210          plugin was unloaded
211        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
212          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
