made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the + audio thread isn't running + - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116) + - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only + un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any + sampler engine anymore + - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor, + e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82) + - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact + same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the + same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112) + - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range" + instrument-level gig parameters + - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling + - added support for GS Reset SysEx message + - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting + - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting + - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second + note was silent + - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the + same time a new instrument was loading + + * LSCP server: + - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to + react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only + Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event) + - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to + react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only + Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event) + - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and + SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH + - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by + frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel + - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command - + KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS + - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications + was incorrect + - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings + - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum + amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will + be triggered respectively + - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum + amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS" + which will be triggered respectively + - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when + a gigedit file dialog is opened) + - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted + - hard close of all sockets on exit + - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME + driver + + * Bug fixes: + -

fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI + instrument with PERSISTENT load mode + - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler + - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands: + GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO + GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO + GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO + GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO + - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present + - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118) + - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler + channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes + - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120) + - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit + PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform + - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a + plugin was unloaded + - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause + problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor + - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on + Windows + Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
