3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5    
6      * general changes:
7        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
8          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
9        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
10          respective profiling code is currently broken
11        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
12          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
13          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
14          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
15    
16      * Gigasampler format engine:
17        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
18        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
19          dimension zones is not a power of two
20        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
21          key
22    
23      * SFZ format engine:
24        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
25        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
26        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
27          one from the gig engine
28        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
29        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
30        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
31        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
32        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
33          multiple regions
34        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
35          more compatible
36        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
37        - added support for off_mode=normal
38        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
39        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
40        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
41        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
42        - added support for transpose
43        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
44        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
45        - added more v1 aliases to parser
46        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
47        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
48        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
49        - optimized sample lookup
50        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
51          off_mode)
52    
53      * SoundFont format engine:
54        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
55        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
56        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
57    
58      * Host plugins:
59        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
60        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
61        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
62          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
63          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
64    
65      * MIDI driver:
66        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
67          the ALSA sequencer client name

107        unnecessarily long after an update        unnecessarily long after an update
108        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
109          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
110          of gigedit)
111        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
112        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
113        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
114          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
115          implementation, which is usually faster)
116        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
117        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
118          VST plugin
119        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
120          only when there are actual changes

122          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
123        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
124        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
125        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
126          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
127          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
128        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
129          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
130        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
131          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
132          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
133          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
134        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory

149        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
150        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
151          jack_client_new
152        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
153        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
154          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
155          (fixes #117)
156        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
157          win64)
158        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
159        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed

164          stereo
165        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
166          stored in the plugin state
167        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
168          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
169          (if available)
170        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
171          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
172    
173      * MIDI driver:
174        - added JACK MIDI driver
175        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
176          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
177          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
178        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
179          CoreMidi or AU
180        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
181        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
182          moving the logic to a non-RT thread

184    
185    * instruments database:    * instruments database:
186      - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments      - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
187        to the instruments database        to the instruments database
188        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
189        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
190          in the instruments database
191          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
192        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
193          instrument database compilable
194        - added instrument database support on Windows
195          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
196          the instruments DB file is located in
197          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
198          databases for each windows user
199          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
200          and then creates an empty DB
201        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
202    
203    * Gigasampler format engine:    * Gigasampler format engine:
204      - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted      - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
205        while notes were playing        while notes were playing
206      - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread      - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
207        isn't running        isn't running
208        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
209          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
210        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
211          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
212        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
213          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
214          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
215          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
216          on)
217        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
218          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
219          be played
220        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
221          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
222          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
223          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
224          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
225          defined for the sampler
226        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
227          audio thread isn't running
228        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
229        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
230          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
231          sampler engine anymore
232        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
233          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
234        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
235          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
236          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
237        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
238          instrument-level gig parameters
239        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
240        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
241        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
242        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
243        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
244          note was silent
245        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
246          same time a new instrument was loading
247    
248      * LSCP server:
249        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
250          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
251          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
252        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
253          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
254          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
255        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
256          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
257        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
258          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
259        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
260          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
261        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
262          was incorrect
263        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
264        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
265          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
266          be triggered respectively
267        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
268          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
269          which will be triggered respectively
270        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
271          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
272        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
273        - hard close of all sockets on exit
274        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
275          driver
276    
277      * Bug fixes:
278        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
279          to start instrument loading after another channel
280        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
281          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
282        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
283          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
284        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
285        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
286          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
287          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
288          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
289          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
290        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
291        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
292        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
293          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
294        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
295        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
296          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
297        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
298          plugin was unloaded
299        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
300          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
301        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
302          Windows
