- Version CVS HEAD (?)
+ Version SVN trunk (?)
-   * plugin changes:
+   * SFZ format engine:
-     - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)
+     - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
+   * general changes:
+     - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
+     - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
+     - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
+       allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
+     - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
+       position within a list.
+     - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
+       a raw element pointer.
+     - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
+       overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
+       DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
+       because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
+     - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
+       being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
+       processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
+       script features.
+     - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
+       (CC #64) events.
+     - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
+       note-off and sustain pedal up events.
+     - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
+       (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
+       volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
+   * packaging changes:
+     - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
+       (originated by libgig's usage of it)
+     - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
+       auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
+   * Real-time instrument scripts:
+     - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
+     - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
+       "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
+       correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
+     - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
+       function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
+       argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
+       microseconds.
+     - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
+       potentially causing undefined behavior.
+     - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
+       variable.
+     - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
+       special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
+       triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
+     - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
+     - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
+       a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
+       script editor applications.
+     - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
+     - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
+       column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
+       the precise span of the issue within the source code).
+     - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
+       editor.
+     - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
+       like "on note end on".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
+     - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
+       "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
+       "event_status()" function.
+     - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
+       and ".not.".
+     - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
+       character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
+     - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
+     - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
+       be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
+       events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
+     - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
+     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
+     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
+     - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
+     - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
+     - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
+       associative instead of left (to right).
+     - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
+       (i.e. "if end if").
+     - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
+     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
+     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
+     - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
+     - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
+       handled by the script parser).
+     - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
+     - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
+     - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
+     - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".
+     - NKSP Language: Added support for user defined script functions.
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_attack()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
+     - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
+     - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
+       synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
+       was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
+       change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
+       changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
+       to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
+ Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)

+       source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
+       in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
    * general changes:
      - Refactoring: moved the independent code from

        instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
        instruments for example are splitted over several files like
        "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
+     - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
+     - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
+     - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
+     - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
+     - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
+     - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
+       applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
+       series (#182)
+     - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
+       used it everywhere appropriate
+     - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
+     - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
+       SysEx way).
+     - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
+       and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
+       used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
+     - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
+     - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
+       added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
+       C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
+       as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
+       backward compatibility).
+     - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
+       unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
+     - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
+     - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
+       sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
+     - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
+     - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
+     - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
+     - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
+       polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
+       supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
+       used so far).
+     - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
+       code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
+       gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
+       (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
    * Gigasampler format engine:
      - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension

        dimension zones is not a power of two
      - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
        key
+     - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
+     - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
+     - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
+       filter parameters in each sub fragment)
+     - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
+       min value
+     - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
+       doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
+     - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
+     - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
+     - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
+       conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
+     - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
    * SFZ format engine:
      - Initial implementation (not usable yet)

        group and off_by opcodes (#168)
      - made end=0 play the whole sample
      - fixed support for lochan and hichan opcodes (#155)
+     - fixed crash when using lochan/hichan opcodes (#187)
+     - sfz parser: allow -200 to 200 for pan_oncc opcode (#182)
+     - added FLAC support (#191)
+     - sfz parser bugfix: lines starting with whitespace were ignored
+     - added amplitude opcode
+     - added support for "#include" instruction
+       (modified patch which was originally posted by Sergey on LS mailing list)
+     - bugfix: generation of velocity curves etc should not be done
+       after each "#include", only after the main file is parsed
+     - bugfix: line numbers in error messages were wrong after "#include"
+     - added support for float and 32 bit sample files
    * SoundFont format engine:
      - Initial implementation (not usable yet)

      - initial implementation of cutoff filter
      - use linear decay and release for filter and pitch EG
-   * Gigasampler format engine:
+   * Host plugins (VST, AU, LV2, DSSI):
-     - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
-     - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
-     - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
-       filter parameters in each sub fragment)
-   * Host plugins:
      - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
      - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
      - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after

      - VST: made it possible to build the VST plugin for Mac
      - AU: link AU plugin dynamically if --disable-shared isn't
        specified
+     - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)
      - VST bugfix: instrument loading hang and crashed the host when
        the plugin was loaded a second time (#174)

        the VST and AU plugins
      - LV2: fixed save/restore of SFZ state (patch by David Robillard)
      - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac
+     - VST: implemented retrieval and switching of programs using the
+       sampler's internal MIDI instrument mapping system
+   * Instrument editor interface:
+     - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
+       informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
+       spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
+       with the sampler.
    * MIDI driver:
      - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding

        there is no reason for this limit
      - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
      - MME: removed compiler warning
+     - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
+       which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
+       to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
+     - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
+       the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
+       (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
+     - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
+     - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
+     - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
+       virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.
+     - Bugfix in VirtualMidiDevice: process note on with velocity 0 as note off.
+     - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
+     - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
+     - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
+     - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
+       parameter "AUTO_BIND").
+     - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
+     - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
    * audio driver:
      - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
+     - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.
+     - JACK audio: react on buffer size changes.
+     - JACK audio: jack_port_get_buffer() was cached and called outside
+       RT context.
+     - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
+     - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
+     - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)
+     - JACK audio: return the JACK server's current sample rate as default value
+       for audio device parameter "SAMPLERATE" (fixes #166).
    * LSCP server:
      - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command
-Line 312 
 Version CVS HEAD (?)
+Line 532 
 Version CVS HEAD (?)
      - added LSCP commands "SUBSCRIBE EFFECT_INSTANCE_COUNT",
        "SUBSCRIBE EFFECT_INSTANCE_INFO", "SUBSCRIBE SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN_COUNT",
        "SUBSCRIBE SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN_INFO"
+     - provide comprehensive error messages on LSCP syntax errors
+       (suggesting expected next non-terminal symbols)
+   * LSCP shell:
+     - Added support for auto correction of obvious and trivial syntax mistakes.
+     - Added support for auto completion by tab key.
+     - Show currently available auto completion while typing.
+     - Added support for browsing command history with up / down keys.
+     - Show all possible next symbols immediately right to the current command
+       line while typing (no double tab required for this feature, as it would
+       be the case in other shells).
+     - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
+     - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
+       automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
+       as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command
+       line.

+     - Implemented built-in script function "ignore_controller()" (may have one
+       or no argument).
+     - Implemented built-in script function "set_controller()".
+     - Added extended script VM for the Gigasampler/GigaStudio format sampler
+       engine, which extends the general instrument script VM with Giga format

      - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
        playing a note in a key group
+     - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
+       (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
+     - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
+       crashes and noise on such transitions).
+     - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
+       (fixes #208)
+     - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
+       "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
+       practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
+       shell's auto completion feature).
+     - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
+       after each other (fixes #231).
