32        - Mac OS X: added temporary hack allowing to spawn gigedit as callback
33          on the process's main thread
34        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
35        - support building with older jack versions
36        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
37        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
38          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
39          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
40    
41      * general changes:
42        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
43          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
44        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
45          respective profiling code is currently broken
46        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
47          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
48          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
49          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
50        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
51        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
52        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
53          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
54          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
55          effect type is)
56        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
57          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
58          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
59          effect type is)
60        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
61        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
62          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
63        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
64        - experimental support for per voice equalization
65        - added command line option --exec-after-init
66        - Introduced new C++ API method:
67          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
68          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
69          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
70          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
71          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
72        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
73        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
74        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
75        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
76        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
77        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
78          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
79          series (#182)
80        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
81          used it everywhere appropriate
82        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
83        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
84          SysEx way).
85        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
86          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
87          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
88        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
89        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
90          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
91          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
92          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
93          backward compatibility).
94        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
95          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
96        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
97        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
98          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
99        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
100        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
101        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
102        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
103          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
104          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
105          used so far).
106        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
107          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
108          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
109          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
110    
111      * Gigasampler format engine:
112        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
113        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
114          dimension zones is not a power of two
115        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
116          key
117        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
118        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
119        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
120          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
121        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
122          min value
123        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
124          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
125        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
126        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
127        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
128          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
129

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

148        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
149        - added support for transpose
150        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
151        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
152        - added more v1 aliases to parser
153        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
154        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
155        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
156        - optimized sample lookup

289          (modified patch which was originally posted by Sergey on LS mailing list)
290        - bugfix: generation of velocity curves etc should not be done
291          after each "#include", only after the main file is parsed
292        - bugfix: line numbers in error messages were wrong after "#include"
293    
294      * SoundFont format engine:
295        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
296        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
297        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail

300        - initial implementation of cutoff filter
301        - use linear decay and release for filter and pitch EG
302    
303      * Host plugins (VST, AU, LV2, DSSI):
304        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
305        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
306        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
307          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
308          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
309        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
310        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
311          64 bit Windows
312        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
313          stereo
314        - VST: made it possible to build the VST plugin for Mac
315        - AU: link AU plugin dynamically if --disable-shared isn't
316          specified
317        - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)
318        - VST bugfix: instrument loading hang and crashed the host when
319          the plugin was loaded a second time (#174)
320        - plugin bugfix: instrument loading hang when the plugin was
321          loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
322          similar fix was for Windows)
323        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
324        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
325        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
326          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
327        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
328        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
329          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.

475    
476      * Bug fixes:
477        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
478        - minor valgrind fixes
479        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
480          channel to a different engine type
481        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
482          type while an instrument load was in progress
483        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
484          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
485        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
486          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
487        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
488          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
489        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
490        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
491          it caused hanging threads on Windows
492        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
493          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
494        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
495          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
496          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
497          instrument was completely reloaded again.
498        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
499          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
500          project, slightly adjusted)
501        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
502          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
503        - fixed bug #162
504        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
505          multiple paths (#165)

511        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
512        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
513          introduced in previous fix)
514        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
515          playing a note in a key group
516        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
517          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
518        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
519          crashes and noise on such transitions).
520        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
521          (fixes #208)
522        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
523          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
524          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
525          shell's auto completion feature).
526    
527    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
528    
529      * packaging changes:
530        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
531          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
532          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
533          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
534        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
535        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
536        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
537        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
538        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
539        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
540        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
541        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
542          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
543          directory above)
544        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
545        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
546        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
547        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
548    
549      * general changes:
550        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
551          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
552          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
553        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
554          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
555        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
556        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
557          unnecessarily long after an update
558        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
559          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
560          of gigedit)
561        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
562        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
563        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
564          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
565          implementation, which is usually faster)
566        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
567        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
568          VST plugin
569        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
570          only when there are actual changes
571        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
572          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
573        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
574        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
575        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
576          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
577          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
578        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
579          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
580        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
581          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
582          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
583          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
584        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
585          model more strictly
586        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
587        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
588          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
589          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
590        - updated linuxsampler man page
591    
592      * audio driver:
593        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
594          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
595        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
596          opposed to the LSCP specs
597        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
598          reflected the wrong value
599        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
600        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
601        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
602          jack_client_new
603        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
604        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
605          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
606          (fixes #117)
607        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
608          win64)
609        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
610        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
611        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
612        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
613          energyXT)
614        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
615          stereo
616        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
617          stored in the plugin state
618        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
619          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
620          (if available)
621        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
622          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
623    
624      * MIDI driver:
625        - added JACK MIDI driver
626        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
627          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
628          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
629        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
630          CoreMidi or AU
631        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
632        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
633          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
634        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
635    
636      * instruments database:
637        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
638          to the instruments database
639        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
640        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
641          in the instruments database
642          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
643        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
644          instrument database compilable
645        - added instrument database support on Windows
646          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
647          the instruments DB file is located in
648          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
649          databases for each windows user
650          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
651          and then creates an empty DB
652        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
653    
654      * Gigasampler format engine:
655        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
656          while notes were playing
657        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
658          isn't running
659        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
660          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
661        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
662          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
663        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
664          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
665          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
666          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
667          on)
668        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
669          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
670          be played
671        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
672          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
673          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
674          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
675          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
676          defined for the sampler
677        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
678          audio thread isn't running
679        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
680        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
681          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
682          sampler engine anymore
683        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
684          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
685        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
686          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
687          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
688        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
689          instrument-level gig parameters
690        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
691        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
692        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
693        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
694        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
695          note was silent
696        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
697          same time a new instrument was loading
698    
699      * LSCP server:
700        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
701          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
702          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
703        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
704          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
705          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
706        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
707          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
708        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
709          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
710        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
711          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
712        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
713          was incorrect
714        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
715        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
716          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
717          be triggered respectively
718        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
719          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
720          which will be triggered respectively
721        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
722          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
723        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
724        - hard close of all sockets on exit
725        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
726          driver
727    
728      * Bug fixes:
729        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
730          to start instrument loading after another channel
731        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
732          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
733        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
734          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
735        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
736        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
737          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
738          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
739          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
740          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
741        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
742        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
743        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
744          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
745        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
746        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
747          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
748        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
749          plugin was unloaded
750        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
751          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
752        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
753          Windows
754    
755    
756    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
757    
758      * packaging changes:
759        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
760        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
761          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
762        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
763    
764      * general changes:
765        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
766          editor closed
767        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
768          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
769          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
770          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
771        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
772          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
773          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
774          bugs.
775        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
776          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
777          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
778          unaligned 32bit read and shift
779        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
780          output via ASIO)
781        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
782        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
783          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
784          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
785    
786      * AUDIO driver:
787        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
788    
789      * MIDI driver:
790        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
791    
792      * LSCP server:
793        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
794          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
795          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
796        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
797          apostrophes as well
798        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
799          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
800          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
801          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
802          running on

936          settings
937        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
938          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
