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

158        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
159        - added support for transpose
160        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
161        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
162        - added more v1 aliases to parser
163        - reduced memory usage for sfz data

302        - bugfix: line numbers in error messages were wrong after "#include"
303        - added support for float and 32 bit sample files
304    
305      * SoundFont format engine:

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

332          loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
333          similar fix was for Windows)
334        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
335        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
336        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
337          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
338        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
339        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
340          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
341        - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
342          and event
343        - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin
344        - LV2: changed number of output channels to 16 stereo, just like
345          the VST and AU plugins
346        - LV2: fixed save/restore of SFZ state (patch by David Robillard)
347        - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac

349          sampler's internal MIDI instrument mapping system
350    
351      * Instrument editor interface:
352        - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
353          informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
354          spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
355          with the sampler.
356    
357      * MIDI driver:
358        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
359          the ALSA sequencer client name

363        - MME: removed compiler warning
364        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
365          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
366          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
367        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
368          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
369          (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
370        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
371        - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
372        - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
373          virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.
374        - Bugfix in VirtualMidiDevice: process note on with velocity 0 as note off.
375        - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
376        - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
377        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
378        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
379          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
380        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
381        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
382    
383      * audio driver:
384        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
385        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.
386        - JACK audio: react on buffer size changes.

388          RT context.
389        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
390        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
391        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)
392        - JACK audio: return the JACK server's current sample rate as default value
393          for audio device parameter "SAMPLERATE" (fixes #166).
394    
395      * LSCP server:
396        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command
397          "SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA CC <sampler-chan> <ctrl> <val>"
398        - added LSCP command "GET AVAILABLE_EFFECTS"
399        - added LSCP command "LIST AVAILABLE_EFFECTS"

430          "SUBSCRIBE SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN_INFO"
431        - provide comprehensive error messages on LSCP syntax errors
432          (suggesting expected next non-terminal symbols)

441          be the case in other shells).
442        - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
443        - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
444          automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
445          as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command
446          line.
447

463        - Implemented built-in script function "ignore_controller()" (may have one
464          or no argument).
465        - Implemented built-in script function "set_controller()".
466        - Added extended script VM for the Gigasampler/GigaStudio format sampler
467          engine, which extends the general instrument script VM with Giga format
468          specific variables and functions.
469        - Giga format scripts: added built-in script int constant variables
470          $GIG_DIM_CHANNEL, $GIG_DIM_LAYER, $GIG_DIM_VELOCITY, $GIG_DIM_AFTERTOUCH,

494        - Pass/preserve polyphonic variable data from respective "note" event
495          handler to "release" event handler.
496    
497      * Bug fixes:
498        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
499        - minor valgrind fixes
500        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
501          channel to a different engine type
502        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
503          type while an instrument load was in progress
504        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
505          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
506        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
507          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
508        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
509          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
510        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
511        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
512          it caused hanging threads on Windows
513        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
514          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
515        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
516          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
517          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
518          instrument was completely reloaded again.
519        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
520          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
521          project, slightly adjusted)
522        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
523          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
524        - fixed bug #162
525        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
526          multiple paths (#165)

528        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
529          (#176)
530        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
531        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
532        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
533        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
534          introduced in previous fix)
535        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
536          playing a note in a key group
537        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
538          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
539        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
540          crashes and noise on such transitions).
541        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
542          (fixes #208)
543        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
544          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
545          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
546          shell's auto completion feature).
547        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
548          after each other (fixes #231).
549    
550    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
551    
552      * packaging changes:
553        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
554          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
555          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
556          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
557        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
558        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
559        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
560        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
561        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
562        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
563        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
564        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
565          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
566          directory above)
567        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
568        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
569        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
570        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
571    
572      * general changes:
573        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
574          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
575          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
576        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
577          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
578        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
579        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
580          unnecessarily long after an update
581        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
582          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
583          of gigedit)
584        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
585        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
586        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
587          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
588          implementation, which is usually faster)
589        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
590        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
591          VST plugin
592        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
593          only when there are actual changes
594        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
595          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
596        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
597        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
598        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
599          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
600          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
601        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
602          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
603        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
604          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
605          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
606          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
607        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
608          model more strictly
609        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
610        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
611          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
612          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
613        - updated linuxsampler man page
614    
615      * audio driver:
616        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
617          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
618        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
619          opposed to the LSCP specs
620        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
621          reflected the wrong value
622        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
623        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
624        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
625          jack_client_new
626        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
627        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
628          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
629          (fixes #117)
630        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
631          win64)
632        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
633        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
634        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
635        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
636          energyXT)
637        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
638          stereo
639        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
640          stored in the plugin state
641        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
642          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
643          (if available)
644        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
645          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
646    
647      * MIDI driver:
648        - added JACK MIDI driver
649        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
650          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
651          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
652        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
653          CoreMidi or AU
654        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
655        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
656          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
657        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
658    
659      * instruments database:
660        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
661          to the instruments database
662        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
663        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
664          in the instruments database
665          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
666        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
667          instrument database compilable
668        - added instrument database support on Windows
669          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
670          the instruments DB file is located in
671          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
672          databases for each windows user
673          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
674          and then creates an empty DB
675        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
676    
677      * Gigasampler format engine:
678        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
679          while notes were playing
680        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
681          isn't running
682        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
683          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
684        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
685          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
686        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
687          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
688          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
689          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
690          on)
691        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
692          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
693          be played
694        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
695          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
696          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
697          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
698          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
699          defined for the sampler
700        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
701          audio thread isn't running
702        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
703        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
704          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
705          sampler engine anymore
706        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
707          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
708        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
709          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
710          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
711        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
712          instrument-level gig parameters
713        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
714        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
715        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
716        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
717        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
718          note was silent
719        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
720          same time a new instrument was loading
721    
722      * LSCP server:
723        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
724          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
725          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
726        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
727          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
728          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
729        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
730          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
731        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
732          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
733        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
734          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
735        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
736          was incorrect
737        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
738        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
739          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
740          be triggered respectively
741        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
742          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
743          which will be triggered respectively
744        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
745          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
746        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
747        - hard close of all sockets on exit
748        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
749          driver
750    
751      * Bug fixes:
752        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
753          to start instrument loading after another channel
754        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
755          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
756        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
757          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
758        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
759        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
760          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
761          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
762          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
763          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
764        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
765        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
766        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
767          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
768        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
769        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
770          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
771        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
772          plugin was unloaded
773        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
774          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
775        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
776          Windows
777    
778    
779    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
780    
781      * packaging changes:
782        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
783        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
784          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
785        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
786    
787      * general changes:
788        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
789          editor closed
790        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
791          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
792          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
793          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
794        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
795          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
796          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
797          bugs.
798        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
799          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
800          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
801          unaligned 32bit read and shift
802        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
803          output via ASIO)
804        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
805        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
806          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
807          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
808    
809      * AUDIO driver:
810        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
811    
812      * MIDI driver:
813        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
814    
815      * LSCP server:
816        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
817          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
818          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
819        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
820          apostrophes as well
821        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
822          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
823          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
824          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
825          running on
826    
827    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
828    
829      * packaging changes:
830        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
831          API header files anymore
832        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
833          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
834        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
835          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
836          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
837          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
838        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
839          parameters
840        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
841          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
842          are now in global_private.h
843        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
844        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
845        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
846    
847      * general changes:
848        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
849          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
850          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
851          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
852          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
853          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
854          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
855          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
856          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
857          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
858          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
859          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
860          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
861          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
862          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
863          drumkits is possible
864        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
865          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
866        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
867          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
868          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
869        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
870          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
871          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
872          controllers
873        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
874        - Implemented new, improved notification system
875        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
876          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
877        - implemented instruments database
878        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
879        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
880          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
881          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
882          startup, added a new LSCP command:
883          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
884          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
885          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
886          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
887        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
888          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
889          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
890          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
891        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
892          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
893          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
894          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
895          setting their own policy and priority
896        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
897          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
898          its output
899        - fixed some minor memory leaks
900        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
901          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
902        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
903          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
904        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
905    
906      * MIDI driver:
907        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
908    
909      * audio driver:
910        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
911          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
912          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
913    
914      * Gigasampler format engine:
915        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
916          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
917          voice starvation for some gigs)
918        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
919        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
920          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
921          command
922        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
923        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
924        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
925          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
926          even if sustain is 100%
927        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
928          noises or crashes
929        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
930        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
931          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
932        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
933          instead of a fix value
934        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
935          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
936          changed
937    
938      * LSCP server:
939        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
940          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
941        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
942          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
943        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
944          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
945          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
946          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
947        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
948          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
949          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
950          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
951          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
952          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
953          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
954          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
955        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
956          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
957          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
958        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
959          settings
960        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
961          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
962          (fixes #57)
963    
964      * Bug fixes:
965        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
966        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
967          channel audio output device"
968        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
969          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
970        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
971          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
972          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
973        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
974          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
975          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
976        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
977        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
978          channel changes
979        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
980          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
981        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
982          an audio output device
983        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
984    
985      * test cases:
986        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
