1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
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)
44        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
45        - experimental support for per voice equalization
46    
47      * Gigasampler format engine:
48        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
49        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
50          dimension zones is not a power of two
51        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
52          key
53    
54      * SFZ format engine:
55        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
56        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators

60        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
61        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
62        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
63        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
64          multiple regions

80        - optimized sample lookup
81        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
82          off_mode)
83        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
84        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot

278        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
279          type while an instrument load was in progress
280        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
281          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
282        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
283          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
284        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
285          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
286        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
287        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as

289        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
290          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
291        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
292          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
293          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
294          instrument was completely reloaded again.
295        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
296          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
297          project, slightly adjusted)
298        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
299          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
300    
301    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
302    
303      * packaging changes:
304        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
305          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
306          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
307          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
308        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3

314        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
315        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
316          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
317          directory above)
318        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
319        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
320        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
321        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
322    
323      * general changes:
324        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
325          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
326          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
327        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
328          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
329        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
330        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
331          unnecessarily long after an update
332        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
333          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
334          of gigedit)
335        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
336        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
337        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
338          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
339          implementation, which is usually faster)
340        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
341        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
342          VST plugin
343        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
344          only when there are actual changes
345        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
346          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
347        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
348        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
349        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
350          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
351          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
352        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
353          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
354        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
355          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
356          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
357          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
358        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
359          model more strictly
360        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
361        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
362          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
363          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
364    
365      * audio driver:
366        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
367          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
368        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
369          opposed to the LSCP specs
370        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
371          reflected the wrong value
372        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
373        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
374        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
375          jack_client_new
376        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
377        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
378          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
379          (fixes #117)
380        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
381          win64)
382        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
383        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
384        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
385        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
386          energyXT)
387        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
388          stereo
389        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
390          stored in the plugin state
391        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
392          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
393          (if available)
394        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
395          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
396    
397      * MIDI driver:
398        - added JACK MIDI driver
399        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
400          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
401          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
402        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
403          CoreMidi or AU
404        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
405        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
406          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
407        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
408    
409      * instruments database:
410        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
411          to the instruments database
412        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
413        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
414          in the instruments database
415          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
416        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
417          instrument database compilable
418        - added instrument database support on Windows
419          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
420          the instruments DB file is located in
421          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
422          databases for each windows user
423          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
424          and then creates an empty DB
425        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
426    
427      * Gigasampler format engine:
428        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
429          while notes were playing
430        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
431          isn't running
432        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
433          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
434        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
435          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
436        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
437          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
438          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
439          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
440          on)
441        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
442          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
443          be played
444        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
445          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
446          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
447          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
448          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
449          defined for the sampler
450        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
451          audio thread isn't running
452        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
453        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
454          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
455          sampler engine anymore
456        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
457          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
458        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
459          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
460          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
461        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
462          instrument-level gig parameters
463        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
464        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
465        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
466        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
467        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
468          note was silent
469        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
470          same time a new instrument was loading
471    
472      * LSCP server:
473        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
474          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
475          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
476        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
477          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
478          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
479        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
480          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
481        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
482          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
483        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
484          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
485        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
486          was incorrect
487        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
488        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
489          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
490          be triggered respectively
491        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
492          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
493          which will be triggered respectively
494        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
495          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
496        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
497        - hard close of all sockets on exit
498        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
499          driver
500    
501      * Bug fixes:
502        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
503          to start instrument loading after another channel
504        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
505          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
506        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
507          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
508        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
509        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
510          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
511          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
512          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
513          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
514        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
515        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
516        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
517          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
518        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
519        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
520          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
521        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
522          plugin was unloaded
523        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
524          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
525        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
526          Windows
527    
528    
529    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
530    
531      * packaging changes:
532        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
533        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
534          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
535        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
536    
537      * general changes:
538        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
539          editor closed
540        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
541          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
542          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
543          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
544        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
545          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
546          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
547          bugs.
548        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
549          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
550          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
551          unaligned 32bit read and shift
552        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
553          output via ASIO)
554        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
555        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
556          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
557          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
558    
559      * AUDIO driver:
560        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
561    
562      * MIDI driver:
563        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
564    
565      * LSCP server:
566        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
567          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
568          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
569        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
570          apostrophes as well
571        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
572          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
573          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
574          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
575          running on
576    
577    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
578    
579      * packaging changes:
580        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
581          API header files anymore
582        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
583          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
584        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
585          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
586          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
587          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
588        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
589          parameters
590        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
591          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
592          are now in global_private.h
593        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
594        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
595        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
596    
597      * general changes:
598        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
599          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
600          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
601          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
602          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
603          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
604          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
605          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
606          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
607          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
608          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
609          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
610          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
611          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
612          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
613          drumkits is possible
614        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
615          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
616        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
617          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
618          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
619        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
620          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
621          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
622          controllers
623        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
624        - Implemented new, improved notification system
625        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
626          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
627        - implemented instruments database
628        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
629        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
630          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
631          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
632          startup, added a new LSCP command:
633          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
634          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
635          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
636          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
637        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
638          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
639          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
640          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
641        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
642          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
643          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
644          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
645          setting their own policy and priority
646        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
647          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
648          its output
649        - fixed some minor memory leaks
650        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
651          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
652        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
653          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
654        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
655    
656      * MIDI driver:
657        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
658    
659      * audio driver:
660        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
661          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
662          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
663    
664      * Gigasampler format engine:
665        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
666          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
667          voice starvation for some gigs)
668        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
669        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
670          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
671          command
672        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
673        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
674        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
675          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
676          even if sustain is 100%
677        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
678          noises or crashes
679        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
680        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
681          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
682        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
683          instead of a fix value
684        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
685          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
686          changed
687    
688      * LSCP server:
689        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
690          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
691        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
692          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
693        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
694          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
695          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
696          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
697        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
698          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
699          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
700          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
701          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
702          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
703          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
704          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
705        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
706          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
707          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
708        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
709          settings
710        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
711          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
712          (fixes #57)
713    
714      * Bug fixes:
715        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
716        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
717          channel audio output device"
718        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
719          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
720        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
721          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
722          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
723        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
724          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
725          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
726        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
