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        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
21    
22      * general changes:
23        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
24          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
25        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
26          respective profiling code is currently broken
27        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
28          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
29          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
30          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
31        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
32        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
33        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
34          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
35          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
36          effect type is)
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
38          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40          effect type is)
41        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
42        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
43          (as suggested by Alex Stone)

47        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
48        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
49          dimension zones is not a power of two
50        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
51          key
52    
53      * SFZ format engine:
54        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
55        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
56        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the

142        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
143        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
144        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
145          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
146          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
147        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
148        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on

157        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
158          the ALSA sequencer client name
159        - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
160          there is no reason for this limit
161    
162      * audio driver:
163        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
164

202      * Bug fixes:
203        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
204        - minor valgrind fixes
205        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
206          channel to a different engine type
207        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
208          type while an instrument load was in progress
209        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
210          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
211        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
212          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
213        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
214          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
215        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
216        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
217          it caused hanging threads on Windows
218        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
219          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
220    
221    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
222    
223      * packaging changes:
224        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
225          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
226          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
227          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
228        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
229        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
230        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
231        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
232        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
233        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
234        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
235        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
236          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
237          directory above)
238        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
239        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
240        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
241        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
242    
243      * general changes:
244        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
245          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
246          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
247        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
248          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
249        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
250        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
251          unnecessarily long after an update
252        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
253          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
254          of gigedit)
255        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
256        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
257        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
258          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
259          implementation, which is usually faster)
260        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
261        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
262          VST plugin
263        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
264          only when there are actual changes
265        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
266          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
267        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
268        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
269        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
270          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
271          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
272        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
273          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
274        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
275          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
276          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
277          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
278        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
279          model more strictly
280        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
281        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
282          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
283          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
284    
285      * audio driver:
286        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
287          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
288        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
289          opposed to the LSCP specs
290        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
291          reflected the wrong value
292        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
293        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
294        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
295          jack_client_new
296        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
297        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
298          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
299          (fixes #117)
300        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
301          win64)
302        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
303        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
304        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
305        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
306          energyXT)
307        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
308          stereo
309        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
310          stored in the plugin state
311        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
312          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
313          (if available)
314        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
315          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
316    
317      * MIDI driver:
318        - added JACK MIDI driver
319        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
320          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
321          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
322        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
323          CoreMidi or AU
324        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
325        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
326          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
327        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
328    
329      * instruments database:
330        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
331          to the instruments database
332        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
333        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
334          in the instruments database
335          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
336        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
337          instrument database compilable
338        - added instrument database support on Windows
339          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
340          the instruments DB file is located in
341          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
342          databases for each windows user
343          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
344          and then creates an empty DB
345        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
346    
347      * Gigasampler format engine:
348        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
349          while notes were playing
350        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
351          isn't running
352        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
353          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
354        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
355          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
356        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
357          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
358          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
359          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
360          on)
361        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
362          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
363          be played
364        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
365          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
366          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
367          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
368          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
369          defined for the sampler
370        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
371          audio thread isn't running
372        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
373        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
374          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
375          sampler engine anymore
376        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
377          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
378        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
379          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
380          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
381        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
382          instrument-level gig parameters
383        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
384        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
385        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
386        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
387        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
388          note was silent
389        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
390          same time a new instrument was loading
391    
392      * LSCP server:
393        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
394          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
395          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
396        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
397          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
398          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
399        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
400          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
401        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
402          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
403        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
404          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
405        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
406          was incorrect
407        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
408        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
409          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
410          be triggered respectively
411        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
412          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
413          which will be triggered respectively
414        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
415          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
416        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
417        - hard close of all sockets on exit
418        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
419          driver
420    
421      * Bug fixes:
422        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
423          to start instrument loading after another channel
424        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
425          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
426        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
427          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
428        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
429        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
430          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
431          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
432          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
433          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
434        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
435        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
436        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
437          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
438        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
439        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
440          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
441        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
442          plugin was unloaded
443        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
444          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
445        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
446          Windows
447    
448    
449    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
450    
451      * packaging changes:
452        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
453        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
454          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
455        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
456    
457      * general changes:
458        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
459          editor closed
460        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
461          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
462          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
463          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
464        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
465          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
466          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
467          bugs.
468        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
469          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
470          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
471          unaligned 32bit read and shift
472        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
473          output via ASIO)
474        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
475        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
476          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
477          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
478    
479      * AUDIO driver:
480        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
481    
482      * MIDI driver:
483        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
484    
485      * LSCP server:
486        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
487          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
488          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
489        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
490          apostrophes as well
491        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
492          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
493          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
494          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
495          running on
496    
497    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
498    
499      * packaging changes:
500        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
501          API header files anymore
502        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
503          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
504        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
505          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
506          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
507          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
508        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
509          parameters
510        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
511          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
512          are now in global_private.h
513        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
514        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
515        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
516    
517      * general changes:
518        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
519          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
520          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
521          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
522          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
523          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
524          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
525          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
526          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
527          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
528          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
529          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
530          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
531          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
532          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
533          drumkits is possible
534        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
535          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
536        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
537          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
538          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
539        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
540          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
541          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
542          controllers
543        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
544        - Implemented new, improved notification system
545        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
546          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
547        - implemented instruments database
548        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
549        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
550          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
551          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
552          startup, added a new LSCP command:
553          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
554          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
555          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
556          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
557        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
558          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
559          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
560          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
561        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
562          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
563          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
564          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
565          setting their own policy and priority
566        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
567          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
568          its output
569        - fixed some minor memory leaks
570        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
571          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
572        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
573          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
574        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
575    
576      * MIDI driver:
577        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
578    
579      * audio driver:
580        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
581          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
582          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
583    
584      * Gigasampler format engine:
585        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
586          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
587          voice starvation for some gigs)
588        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
589        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
590          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
591          command
592        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
593        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
594        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
595          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
596          even if sustain is 100%
597        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
598          noises or crashes
599        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
600        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
601          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
602        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
603          instead of a fix value
604        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
605          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
606          changed
607    
608      * LSCP server:
609        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
610          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
611        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
612          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
613        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
614          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
615          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
616          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
617        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
618          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
619          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
620          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
621          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
622          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
623          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
624          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
625        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
626          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
627          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
628        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
629          settings
630        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
631          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
632          (fixes #57)
633    
634      * Bug fixes:
635        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
636        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
637          channel audio output device"
638        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
639          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
640        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
641          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
642          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
643        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
644          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
645          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
646        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
647        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
648          channel changes
649        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
650          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
651        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
652          an audio output device
653        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
654    
655      * test cases:
656        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
657    
658    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)

704        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
705        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
706        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
707          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
708          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
709          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode

721          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
722          and lowpass turbo.
723        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
724          16 bits anymore
725        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
726          aftertouch)
