2    
3      * plugin changes:
4        - LV2 Persist + Files support (patch by David Robillard)
5    
6      * packaging changes:
7        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
8        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
9        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
10        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
11          doing "make dist"
12        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
13        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
14        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
15        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
16        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
17          directories are separate
18        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
19          configure
20    
21      * general changes:
22        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
23          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
24        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
25          respective profiling code is currently broken
26        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
27          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
28          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
29          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
30        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
31        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
32        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
33          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
34          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
35          effect type is)
36        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
37          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
38          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
39          effect type is)
40        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
41        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
42          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
43

46        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
47          dimension zones is not a power of two
48        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
49          key
50    
51      * SFZ format engine:
52        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
53        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
54        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
55          one from the gig engine
56        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
57        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
58        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
59        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
60        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
61          multiple regions
62        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
63          more compatible

65        - added support for off_mode=normal
66        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
67        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)

77        - optimized sample lookup
78        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
79          off_mode)
80        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
81        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
82        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
83        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
84        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
85          not set in sfz file
86        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
87          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,

107          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
108    
109      * Host plugins:
110        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
111        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
112        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
113          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
114          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
115        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
116        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
