2    
3      * plugin changes:
4        - LV2 "state" extension 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        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
22        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
23        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
24          gcc 4.7 and C++11
25    
26      * general changes:
27        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
28          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
29        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
30          respective profiling code is currently broken
31        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
32          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
33          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
34          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
35        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
36        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
38          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40          effect type is)
41        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
42          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
43          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
44          effect type is)
45        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
46        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
47          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
48        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
49        - experimental support for per voice equalization
50        - added command line option --exec-after-init
51        - Introduced new C++ API method:
52          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
53          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
54          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
55          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
56          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
57    
58      * Gigasampler format engine:
59        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
60        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
61          dimension zones is not a power of two
62        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
63          key
64

71        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
72        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
73        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
74        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
75          multiple regions
76        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
77          more compatible

82        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
83        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
84        - added support for transpose
85        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
86        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
87        - added more v1 aliases to parser

237        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
238          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
239          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
240        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
241        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
242          64 bit Windows

249          the plugin was loaded a second time (#174)
250        - plugin bugfix: instrument loading hang when the plugin was
251          loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous

253        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
254        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
255        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on

257        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
258        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
259          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
260        - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
261          and event
262        - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin

264          the VST and AU plugins
265    
266      * MIDI driver:
267        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
268          the ALSA sequencer client name

314      * Bug fixes:
315        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
316        - minor valgrind fixes
317        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
318          channel to a different engine type
319        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
320          type while an instrument load was in progress
321        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
322          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
323        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
324          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
325        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
326          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
327        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
328        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
329          it caused hanging threads on Windows
330        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
331          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
332        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
333          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
334          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
335          instrument was completely reloaded again.
336        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
337          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
338          project, slightly adjusted)
339        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
340          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

342        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
343          multiple paths (#165)
344        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
345        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
346          (#176)
347        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
348        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
349        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
350        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
351          introduced in previous fix)
352        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
353          playing a note in a key group
354    
355    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
356    
357      * packaging changes:
358        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
359          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
360          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
361          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
362        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
363        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
364        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
365        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
366        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
367        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
368        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
369        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
370          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
371          directory above)
372        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
373        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
374        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
375        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
376    
377      * general changes:
378        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
379          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
380          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
381        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
382          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
383        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
384        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
385          unnecessarily long after an update
386        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
387          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
388          of gigedit)
389        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
390        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
391        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
392          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
393          implementation, which is usually faster)
394        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
395        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
396          VST plugin
397        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
398          only when there are actual changes
399        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
400          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
401        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
402        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
403        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
404          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
405          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
406        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
407          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
408        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
409          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
410          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
411          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
412        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
413          model more strictly
414        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
415        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
416          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
417          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
418    
419      * audio driver:
420        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
421          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
422        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
423          opposed to the LSCP specs
424        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
425          reflected the wrong value
426        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
427        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
428        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
429          jack_client_new
430        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
431        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
432          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
433          (fixes #117)
434        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
435          win64)
436        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
437        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
438        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
439        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
440          energyXT)
441        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
442          stereo
443        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
444          stored in the plugin state
445        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
446          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
447          (if available)
448        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
449          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
450    
451      * MIDI driver:
452        - added JACK MIDI driver
453        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
454          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
455          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
456        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
457          CoreMidi or AU
458        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
459        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
460          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
461        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
462    
463      * instruments database:
464        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
465          to the instruments database
466        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
467        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
468          in the instruments database
469          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
470        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
471          instrument database compilable
472        - added instrument database support on Windows
473          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
474          the instruments DB file is located in
475          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
476          databases for each windows user
477          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
478          and then creates an empty DB
479        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
480    
481      * Gigasampler format engine:
482        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
483          while notes were playing
484        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
485          isn't running
486        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
487          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
488        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
489          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
490        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
491          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
492          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
493          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
494          on)
495        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
496          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
497          be played
498        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
499          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
500          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
501          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
502          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
503          defined for the sampler
504        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
505          audio thread isn't running
506        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
507        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
508          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
509          sampler engine anymore
510        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
511          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
512        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
513          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
514          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
515        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
516          instrument-level gig parameters
517        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
518        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
519        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
520        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
521        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
522          note was silent
523        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
524          same time a new instrument was loading
525    
526      * LSCP server:
527        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
528          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
529          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
530        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
531          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
532          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
533        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
534          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
535        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
536          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
537        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
538          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
539        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
540          was incorrect
541        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
542        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
543          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
544          be triggered respectively
545        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
546          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
547          which will be triggered respectively
548        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
549          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
550        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
551        - hard close of all sockets on exit
552        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
553          driver
554    
555      * Bug fixes:
556        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
557          to start instrument loading after another channel
558        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
559          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
560        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
561          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
562        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
563        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
564          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
565          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
566          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
567          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
568        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
569        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
570        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
571          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
572        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
573        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
574          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
575        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
576          plugin was unloaded
577        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
578          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
579        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
580          Windows
581    
582    
583    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
584    
585      * packaging changes:
586        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
587        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
588          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
589        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
590    
591      * general changes:
592        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
593          editor closed
594        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
595          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
596          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
597          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
598        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
599          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
600          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
601          bugs.
602        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
603          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
604          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
605          unaligned 32bit read and shift
606        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
607          output via ASIO)
608        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
609        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
610          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
611          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
612    
613      * AUDIO driver:
614        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
615    
616      * MIDI driver:
617        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
618    
619      * LSCP server:
620        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
621          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
622          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
623        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
624          apostrophes as well
625        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
626          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
627          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
628          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
629          running on
630    
631    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
632    
633      * packaging changes:
634        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
635          API header files anymore
636        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
637          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
638        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
639          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
640          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
641          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
642        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
643          parameters
644        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
645          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
646          are now in global_private.h
647        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
648        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
649        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
650

680          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
681        - implemented instruments database
682        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
683        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
684          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
685          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
686          startup, added a new LSCP command:
687          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
688          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
689          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
690          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
691        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
692          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
693          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
694          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
695        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
696          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
697          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
698          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
699          setting their own policy and priority
700        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
701          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
702          its output
703        - fixed some minor memory leaks
704        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
705          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
706        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
707          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
708        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
709

726        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
727        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
728        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
729          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
730          even if sustain is 100%
731        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
732          noises or crashes
733        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
734        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
735          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
736        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
737          instead of a fix value
738        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
739          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
740          changed
741    
742      * LSCP server:
743        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
744          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
745        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
746          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
747        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
748          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
749          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
750          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
751        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
752          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
753          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
754          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
755          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
756          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
757          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
758          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
759        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
760          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
761          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
762        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
763          settings
764        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
765          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
766          (fixes #57)
767    
768    * Bug fixes:    * Bug fixes:
769      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
770      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set      - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
771        channel audio output device"        channel audio output device"
772        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
773          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
774        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
775          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
776          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
777        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
778          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
779          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
780        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
781        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
782          channel changes
783        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
784          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
785        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
786          an audio output device
787        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
788    
789      * test cases:
790        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
