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    
44      * Gigasampler format engine:
45        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
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)

72        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
73        - added more v1 aliases to parser
74        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
75        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
76        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
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,
88          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,

90        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work
91        - added support for velocity effect on amplifier envelope time
92          (ampeg_vel2attack, ampeg_vel2decay, ampeg_vel2sustain and
93          ampeg_vel2release)
94        - added support for EG hold (ampeg_hold)

102        - initial implementation of cutoff filter
103    
104      * Gigasampler format engine:
105        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
106        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
107        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
108          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
109    
110      * Host plugins:
111        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
112        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
113        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
114          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
115          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
116        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
117        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
118          64 bit Windows
119        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
120          stereo
121        - VST: made it possible to build the VST plugin for Mac
122        - AU: link AU plugin dynamically if --disable-shared isn't
123          specified
124    
125      * MIDI driver:
126        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
127          the ALSA sequencer client name
128        - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
129          there is no reason for this limit
130    
131      * audio driver:
132        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
133    
134      * LSCP server:
135        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command
136          "SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA CC <sampler-chan> <ctrl> <val>"

157          "GET SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN INFO <audio-device> <effect-chain>"
158        - added LSCP command "APPEND SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN EFFECT <audio-device>
159          <effect-chain> <effect-instance>"
160        - added LSCP command "INSERT SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN EFFECT <audio-device>
161          <effect-chain> <effect-chain-pos> <effect-instance>"

170    
171      * Bug fixes:
172        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
173        - minor valgrind fixes
174        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
175          channel to a different engine type
176        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
177          type while an instrument load was in progress
178        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
179          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
180        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
181          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
182        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
183          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
184        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
185        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
186          it caused hanging threads on Windows
187        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
188          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
189    
190    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
191    
192      * packaging changes:
193        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
194          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
195          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
196          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
197        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
198        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
199        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
200        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
201        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
202        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
203        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
204        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
205          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
206          directory above)
207        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
208        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
209        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
210        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
211    
212      * general changes:
213        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
214          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
215          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
216        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
217          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
218        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
219        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
220          unnecessarily long after an update
221        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
222          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
223          of gigedit)
224        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
225        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
226        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
227          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
228          implementation, which is usually faster)
229        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
230        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
231          VST plugin
232        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
233          only when there are actual changes
234        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
235          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
236        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
237        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
238        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
239          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
240          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
241        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
242          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
243        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
244          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
245          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
246          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
247        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
248          model more strictly
249        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
250        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
251          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
252          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
253    
254      * audio driver:
255        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
256          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
257        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
258          opposed to the LSCP specs
259        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
260          reflected the wrong value
261        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
262        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
263        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
264          jack_client_new
265        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
266        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
267          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
268          (fixes #117)
269        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
270          win64)
271        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
272        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
273        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
274        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
275          energyXT)
276        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
277          stereo
278        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
279          stored in the plugin state
280        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
281          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
282          (if available)
283        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
284          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
285    
286      * MIDI driver:
287        - added JACK MIDI driver
288        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
289          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
290          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
291        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
292          CoreMidi or AU
293        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
294        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
295          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
296        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
297    
298      * instruments database:
299        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
300          to the instruments database
301        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
302        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
303          in the instruments database
304          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
305        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
306          instrument database compilable
307        - added instrument database support on Windows
308          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
309          the instruments DB file is located in
310          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
311          databases for each windows user
312          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
313          and then creates an empty DB
314        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
315    
316      * Gigasampler format engine:
317        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
318          while notes were playing
319        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
320          isn't running
321        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
322          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
323        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
324          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
325        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
326          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
327          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
328          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
329          on)
330        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
331          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
332          be played
333        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
334          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
335          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
336          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
337          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
338          defined for the sampler
339        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
340          audio thread isn't running
341        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
342        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
343          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
344          sampler engine anymore
345        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
346          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
347        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
348          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
349          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
350        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
351          instrument-level gig parameters
352        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
353        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
354        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
355        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
356        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
357          note was silent
358        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
359          same time a new instrument was loading
360    
361      * LSCP server:
362        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
363          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
364          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
365        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
366          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
367          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
368        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
369          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
370        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
371          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
372        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
373          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
374        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
375          was incorrect
376        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
377        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
378          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
379          be triggered respectively
380        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
381          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
382          which will be triggered respectively
383        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
384          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
385        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
386        - hard close of all sockets on exit
387        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
388          driver
389    
390      * Bug fixes:
391        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
392          to start instrument loading after another channel
393        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
394          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
395        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
396          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
397        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
398        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
399          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
400          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
401          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
402          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
403        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
404        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
405        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
406          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
407        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
408        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
409          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
410        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
411          plugin was unloaded
412        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
413          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
414        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
415          Windows

429        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
430          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
431          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
432          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
433        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
434          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
435          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
436          bugs.
437        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
438          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
439          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
440          unaligned 32bit read and shift
441        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
442          output via ASIO)
443        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
444        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
445          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
446          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
447    
448      * AUDIO driver:
449        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver

458        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
459          apostrophes as well
460        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
461          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
462          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
463          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
