1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
6        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
7        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
8          doing "make dist"
9        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
10        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
11        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
12        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
13        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
14          directories are separate
15        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
16          configure
17        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
18        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
19        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
20        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
21          gcc 4.7 and C++11
22        - modernized configure script
23        - fixed linkage error when building with
24          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
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)

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        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
58        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
59        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().

66          dimension zones is not a power of two
67        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
68          key
69    
70      * SFZ format engine:
71        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
72        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
73        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
74          one from the gig engine
75        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
76        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
77        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
78        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
79        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
80          multiple regions
81        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
82          more compatible
83        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
84        - added support for off_mode=normal
85        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume

100        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
101        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
102        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
103        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are

243        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
244          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
245          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
246        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
247        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
248          64 bit Windows
249        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
250          stereo

256          the plugin was loaded a second time (#174)
257        - plugin bugfix: instrument loading hang when the plugin was
258          loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
259          similar fix was for Windows)
260        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
261        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
262        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
263          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
264        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
265        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
266          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
267        - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
268          and event
269        - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin
270        - LV2: changed number of output channels to 16 stereo, just like
271          the VST and AU plugins
272        - LV2: fixed save/restore of SFZ state (patch by David Robillard)
273        - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac

275          sampler's internal MIDI instrument mapping system
276    
277      * MIDI driver:
278        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
279          the ALSA sequencer client name
280        - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
281          there is no reason for this limit
282        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
283        - MME: removed compiler warning
284        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
285          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
286          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
287        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
288          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
289          (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
290        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
291    
292      * audio driver:

332      * Bug fixes:
333        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
334        - minor valgrind fixes
335        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
336          channel to a different engine type
337        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
338          type while an instrument load was in progress
339        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
340          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
341        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
342          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
343        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
344          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
345        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
346        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
347          it caused hanging threads on Windows
348        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
349          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
350        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
351          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
352          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
353          instrument was completely reloaded again.
354        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
355          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
356          project, slightly adjusted)
357        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
358          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
359        - fixed bug #162
360        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
361          multiple paths (#165)
362        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
363        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
364          (#176)
365        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
366        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
367        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
368        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
369          introduced in previous fix)
370        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
371          playing a note in a key group
372        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
373          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
374    
375    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
376    
377      * packaging changes:
378        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
379          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
380          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
381          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
382        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
383        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
384        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
385        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
386        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
387        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
388        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
389        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
390          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
391          directory above)
392        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
393        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
394        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
395        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
396    
397      * general changes:
398        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
399          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
400          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
401        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
402          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
403        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
404        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
405          unnecessarily long after an update
406        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
407          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
408          of gigedit)
409        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
410        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
411        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
412          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
413          implementation, which is usually faster)
414        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
415        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
416          VST plugin
417        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
418          only when there are actual changes
419        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
420          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
421        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
422        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
423        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
424          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
425          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
426        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
427          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
428        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
429          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
430          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
431          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
432        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
433          model more strictly
434        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
435        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
436          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
437          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
438    
439      * audio driver:
440        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
441          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
442        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
443          opposed to the LSCP specs
444        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
445          reflected the wrong value
446        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
447        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
448        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
449          jack_client_new
450        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
451        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
452          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
453          (fixes #117)
454        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
455          win64)
456        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
457        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
458        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
459        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
460          energyXT)
461        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
462          stereo
463        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
464          stored in the plugin state
465        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
466          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
467          (if available)
468        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
469          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
470    
471      * MIDI driver:
472        - added JACK MIDI driver
473        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
474          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
475          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
476        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
477          CoreMidi or AU
478        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
479        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
480          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
481        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
482    
483      * instruments database:
484        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
485          to the instruments database
486        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
487        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
488          in the instruments database
489          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
490        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
491          instrument database compilable
492        - added instrument database support on Windows
493          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
494          the instruments DB file is located in
495          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
496          databases for each windows user
497          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
498          and then creates an empty DB
499        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
500    
501      * Gigasampler format engine:
502        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
503          while notes were playing
504        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
505          isn't running
506        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
507          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
508        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
509          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
510        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
511          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
512          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
513          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
514          on)
515        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
516          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
517          be played
518        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
519          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
520          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
521          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
522          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
523          defined for the sampler
524        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
525          audio thread isn't running
526        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
527        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
528          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
529          sampler engine anymore
530        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
531          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
532        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
533          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
534          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
535        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
536          instrument-level gig parameters
537        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
538        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
539        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
540        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
541        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
542          note was silent
543        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
544          same time a new instrument was loading
545    
546      * LSCP server:
547        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
548          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
549          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
550        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
551          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
552          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
553        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
554          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
555        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
556          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
557        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
558          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
559        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
560          was incorrect
561        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
562        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
563          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
564          be triggered respectively
565        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
566          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
567          which will be triggered respectively
568        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
569          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
570        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
571        - hard close of all sockets on exit
572        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
573          driver
574    
575      * Bug fixes:
576        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
577          to start instrument loading after another channel
578        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
579          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
580        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
581          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
582        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
583        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
584          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
585          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
586          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
587          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
588        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
589        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
590        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
591          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
592        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
593        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
594          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
595        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
596          plugin was unloaded
597        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
598          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
599        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
600          Windows
601    
602    
603    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
604    
605      * packaging changes:
606        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
607        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
608          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
609        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
610    
611      * general changes:
612        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
613          editor closed
614        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
615          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
616          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
617          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
618        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
619          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
620          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
621          bugs.
622        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
623          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
624          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
625          unaligned 32bit read and shift
626        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
627          output via ASIO)
628        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
629        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
630          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
631          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
632    
633      * AUDIO driver:
634        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
635    
636      * MIDI driver:
637        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
638    
639      * LSCP server:
640        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
641          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
642          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
643        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
644          apostrophes as well
645        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
646          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
647          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
648          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
649          running on
650    
651    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
652    
653      * packaging changes:
654        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
655          API header files anymore
656      - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to      - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
657        the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)        the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
658        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
659          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
660          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
661          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
662        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
663          parameters
664        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
665          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
666          are now in global_private.h
667        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
668        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
669        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
670    
671    * general changes:    * general changes:

699        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
700          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
701        - implemented instruments database
702        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
703        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
704          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
705          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
706          startup, added a new LSCP command:
707          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
708          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
709          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
710          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
711        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
712          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
713          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
714          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
715        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
716          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
717          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
718          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
719          setting their own policy and priority
720        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
721          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
722          its output
723        - fixed some minor memory leaks
724        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
725          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
726        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
727          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
728        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
729    
730    * MIDI driver:    * MIDI driver:

754        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
755          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)

792        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
793          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
794        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
795          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
796          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
797        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
798          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
799          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
