# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * SFZ format engine:
4        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
5    
6      * general changes:
7        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
8        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
9        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
10          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
11        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
12          position within a list.
13        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
14          a raw element pointer.
15        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
16          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
17          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
18          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
19        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
20          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
21          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
22          script features.
23        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
24          (CC #64) events.
25        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
26          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
27    
28      * packaging changes:
29        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
30          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
31        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
32          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
33    
34      * Real-time instrument scripts:
35        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
36        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
37          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
38          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
39        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
40          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
41          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
42          microseconds.
43        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
44          potentially causing undefined behavior.
45        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
46          variable.
47        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
48          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
49          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
50        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
51        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
52          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
53          script editor applications.
54        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
55        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
56          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
57          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
58        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
59          editor.
60        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
61          like "on note end on".
62        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
63        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
64        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
65        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
66        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
67        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
68        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
69          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
70          "event_status()" function.
71        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
72          and ".not.".
73        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
74          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
75        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
76        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
77          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
78          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
79        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
80        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
81        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
82        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
83        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
84        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
85        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
86        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
87          associative instead of left (to right).
88        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
89          (i.e. "if end if").
90        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
91        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
92        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
93        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
94        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
95          handled by the script parser).
96        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
97        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
98        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
99        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".

109        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
110        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
111        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
112        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
113        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
114          directories are separate
115        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to

117        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
118        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
119        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions

134        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
135        - support building with older jack versions
136        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
137        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
138          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
139          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
140    
141      * general changes:
142        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
143          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
144        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
145          respective profiling code is currently broken
146        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
147          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
148          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
149          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
150        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
151        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
152        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
153          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
154          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
155          effect type is)
156        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
157          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
158          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
159          effect type is)
160        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
161        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
162          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
163        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
164        - experimental support for per voice equalization
165        - added command line option --exec-after-init
166        - Introduced new C++ API method:
167          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
168          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
169          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
170          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
171          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
172        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
173        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
174        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
175        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
176        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
177        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
178          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
179          series (#182)
180        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
181          used it everywhere appropriate
182        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
183        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
184          SysEx way).
185        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
186          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
187          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
188        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
189        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
190          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
191          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
192          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
193          backward compatibility).
194        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
195          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
196        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
197        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
198          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
199        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
200        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
201        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
202        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
203          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
204          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
205          used so far).
206        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
207          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
208          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
209          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
210    
211      * Gigasampler format engine:
212        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
213        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
214          dimension zones is not a power of two
215        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
216          key
217        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
218        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
219        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
220          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
221        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
222          min value
223        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
224          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
225        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
226        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
227        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
228          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).

249        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
250        - added support for transpose
251        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
252        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
253        - added more v1 aliases to parser
254        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
255        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
256        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail

378          used
379        - bugfix: looping was disabled if loop_start was set to 0
380        - allow regions with end=-1 to turn off other regions using the

390          (modified patch which was originally posted by Sergey on LS mailing list)
391        - bugfix: generation of velocity curves etc should not be done
392          after each "#include", only after the main file is parsed
393        - bugfix: line numbers in error messages were wrong after "#include"
394        - added support for float and 32 bit sample files

406        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
407        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
408        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
409          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
410          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
411        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
412        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
413          64 bit Windows
414        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
415          stereo

425        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
426        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
427        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
428          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
429        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
430        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
431          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.

440          sampler's internal MIDI instrument mapping system
441    
442      * Instrument editor interface:
443        - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
444          informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
445          spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
446          with the sampler.
447    
448      * MIDI driver:
449        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
450          the ALSA sequencer client name
451        - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
452          there is no reason for this limit
453        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
454        - MME: removed compiler warning
455        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
456          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
457          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
458        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
459          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports

461        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
462        - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
463        - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
464          virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.
465        - Bugfix in VirtualMidiDevice: process note on with velocity 0 as note off.
466        - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
467        - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
468        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
469        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
470          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
471        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
472        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
473    
474      * audio driver:
475        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
476        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.
477        - JACK audio: react on buffer size changes.

479          RT context.
480        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
481        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
482        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)
483        - JACK audio: return the JACK server's current sample rate as default value
484          for audio device parameter "SAMPLERATE" (fixes #166).
485    
486      * LSCP server:
487        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command

522        - provide comprehensive error messages on LSCP syntax errors
523          (suggesting expected next non-terminal symbols)

533        - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
534        - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
535          automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
536          as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command
537          line.
538

556        - Implemented built-in script function "set_controller()".
557        - Added extended script VM for the Gigasampler/GigaStudio format sampler
558          engine, which extends the general instrument script VM with Giga format
559          specific variables and functions.
560        - Giga format scripts: added built-in script int constant variables

593        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
594          type while an instrument load was in progress
595        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
596          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
597        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
598          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
599        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
600          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
601        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
602        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
603          it caused hanging threads on Windows
604        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
605          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
606        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
607          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
608          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
609          instrument was completely reloaded again.
610        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
611          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
612          project, slightly adjusted)
613        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
614          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

623        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
624        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
625          introduced in previous fix)
626        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
627          playing a note in a key group
628        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
629          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
630        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
631          crashes and noise on such transitions).
632        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
633          (fixes #208)
634        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
635          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
636          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
637          shell's auto completion feature).
638        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
639          after each other (fixes #231).
640    
641    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
642    
643      * packaging changes:
644        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
645          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
646          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
647          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
648        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
649        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
650        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
651        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
652        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
653        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
654        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
655        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
656          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
657          directory above)
658        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
659        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
660        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
661        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
662    
663      * general changes:
664        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
665          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
666          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
667        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
668          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
669        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
670        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
671          unnecessarily long after an update
672        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
673          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
674          of gigedit)
675        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
676        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
677        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
678          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
679          implementation, which is usually faster)
680        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
681        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
682          VST plugin
683        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
684          only when there are actual changes
685        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
686          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
687        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
688        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
689        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
690          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
691          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
692        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
693          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
694        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
695          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
696          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
697          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
698        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
699          model more strictly
700        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
701        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
702          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
703          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
704        - updated linuxsampler man page
705    
706      * audio driver:
707        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
708          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
709        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
710          opposed to the LSCP specs
711        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
712          reflected the wrong value
713        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
714        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
715        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
716          jack_client_new
717        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
718        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
719          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
720          (fixes #117)
721        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
722          win64)
723        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
724        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
725        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
726        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
727          energyXT)
728        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
729          stereo
730        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
731          stored in the plugin state
732        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
733          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
734          (if available)
735        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
736          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
737    
738      * MIDI driver:
739        - added JACK MIDI driver
740        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
741          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
742          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
743        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
744          CoreMidi or AU
745        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
746        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
747          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
748        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
749    
750      * instruments database:
751        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
752          to the instruments database
753        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
754        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
755          in the instruments database
756          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
757        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
758          instrument database compilable
759        - added instrument database support on Windows
760          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
761          the instruments DB file is located in
762          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
763          databases for each windows user
764          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
765          and then creates an empty DB
766        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
767    
768      * Gigasampler format engine:
769        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
770          while notes were playing
771        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
772          isn't running
773        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
774          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
775        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
776          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
777        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
778          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
779          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
780          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
781          on)
782        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
783          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
784          be played
785        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
786          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
787          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
788          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
789          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
790          defined for the sampler
791        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
792          audio thread isn't running
793        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
794        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
795          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
796          sampler engine anymore
797        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
798          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
799        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
800          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
801          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
802        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
803          instrument-level gig parameters
804        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
805        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
806        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
807        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
808        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
809          note was silent
810        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
811          same time a new instrument was loading
812    
813      * LSCP server:
814        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
815          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
816          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
817        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
818          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
819          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
820        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
821          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
822        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
823          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
824        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
825          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
826        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
827          was incorrect
828        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
829        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
830          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
831          be triggered respectively
832        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
833          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
834          which will be triggered respectively
835        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
836          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
837        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
838        - hard close of all sockets on exit
839        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
840          driver
841    
842      * Bug fixes:
843        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
844          to start instrument loading after another channel
845        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
846          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
847        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
848          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
849        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
850        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
851          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
852          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
853          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
854          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
855        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
856        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
857        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
858          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
859        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
860        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
861          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
862        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
863          plugin was unloaded
864        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
865          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
866        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
867          Windows
868    
869    
870    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
871    
872      * packaging changes:
873        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
874        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
875          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
876        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
877    
878      * general changes:
879        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
880          editor closed
881        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
882          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
883          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
884          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
885        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
886          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
887          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
888          bugs.
889        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
890          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
891          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
892          unaligned 32bit read and shift
893        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
894          output via ASIO)
895        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
896        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
897          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
898          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
899    
900      * AUDIO driver:
901        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
902    
903      * MIDI driver:
904        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
905    
906      * LSCP server:
907        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
908          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
909          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
910        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
911          apostrophes as well
912        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
913          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
914          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
915          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
916          running on
917    
918    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
919    
920      * packaging changes:
921        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
922          API header files anymore
923        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
924          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
925        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
926          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
927          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
928          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
929        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
930          parameters
931        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
932          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
933          are now in global_private.h
934        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
935        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
936        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
937    
938      * general changes:
939        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
940          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
941          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
942          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
943          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
944          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
945          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
946          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
947          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
948          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
949          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
950          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
951          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
952          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
953          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
954          drumkits is possible
955        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
956          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
957        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
958          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
959          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
960        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
961          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
962          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
963          controllers
964        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
965        - Implemented new, improved notification system
966        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
967          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
968        - implemented instruments database
969        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
970        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
971          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
972          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
973          startup, added a new LSCP command:
974          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
975          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
976          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
977          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
978        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
979          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
980          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
981          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
982        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
983          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
984          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
985          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
986          setting their own policy and priority
987        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
988          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
989          its output
990        - fixed some minor memory leaks
991        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
992          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
993        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
994          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
995        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
996    
997      * MIDI driver:
998        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
999    
1000      * audio driver:
1001        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
1002          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
1003          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
1004    
1005      * Gigasampler format engine:
1006        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
1007          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
1008          voice starvation for some gigs)
1009        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
1010        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
1011          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
1012          command
1013        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
1014        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
1015        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
1016          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
1017          even if sustain is 100%
1018        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
1019          noises or crashes
1020        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1021        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
1022          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
1023        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
1024          instead of a fix value
1025        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
1026          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
1027          changed
1028    
1029      * LSCP server:
1030        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
1031          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
1032        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
1033          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
1034        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
1035          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
1036          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
1037          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
1038        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
1039          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
1040          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
1041          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
1042          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
1043          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
1044          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
1045          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
1046        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
1047          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1048          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1049        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1050          settings
1051        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
1052          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
1053          (fixes #57)
1054    
1055      * Bug fixes:
1056        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
1057        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
1058          channel audio output device"
1059        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
1060          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
1061        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
1062          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1063          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1064        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1065          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1066          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1067        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1068        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1069          channel changes
1070        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1071          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1072        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1073          an audio output device
1074        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
1075    
1076      * test cases:
1077        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
1078    
1079    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
1080    
1081      * packaging changes:
1082        - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
1083          to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
1084          to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
1085        - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
1086          applications to link against liblinuxsampler
1087        - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
1088          (Doxygen required)
1089        - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
1090          implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
1091          di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
1092          with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
1093          configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
1094        - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
1095          provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
1096        - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
1097          messages
1098        - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
1099          MIDI drivers
1100        - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
1101          (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
1102    
1103      * Gigasampler format engine:
1104        - extensive synthesis optimization
1105          (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
1106          prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
1107          each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
1108          constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
1109          linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
1110          --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
1111        - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
1112        - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
1113          following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
1114          controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
1115          curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
1116          cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
1117        - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
1118        - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
1119        - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
1120          which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
1121        - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
1122          accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
1123          ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
1124          time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
1125        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
1126        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
1127        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
1128          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
1129          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
1130          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
1131        - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
1132          parameter) and crossfade
1133        - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
1134          parameter
1135        - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
1136          messages
1137        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
1138          instead of the wave chunk
1139        - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
1140          not equal to a power of two
1141        - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
1142          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1143          and lowpass turbo.
1144        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1145          16 bits anymore
1146        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1147          aftertouch)
1148        - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1149          amplifying from 0)
1150    
1151      * LSCP server:
1152        - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
1153        - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
1154          network activity (fixes bug #26)
1155        - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
1156          (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
1157    
1158      * audio driver:
1159        - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
1160    
1161      * MIDI driver:
1162        - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
1163          messages several times instead of once
1164        - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
1165          for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
1166        - added checks for bad MIDI data
1167    
1168      * linuxsampler application:
1169        - show available sampler engine types on startup
1170    
1171      * general changes:
1172        - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
1173          LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
1174          fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
1175          introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
1176          (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
1177          --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
1178          processing of muted channels.
1179        - support for sostenuto pedal
1180        - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
1181          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
1182          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
1183        - fixed some memory management errors
1184        - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
1185          LSCP commands were executed
1186        - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
1187          sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
1188    
1189    Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
1190    
1191      * packaging changes:
1192        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
1193    
1194      * Gigasampler format engine:
1195        - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
1196          disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
1197        - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
1198          for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
1199          stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
1200          about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
1201          appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
1202    
1203    Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
1204    
1205    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:

1209        './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)        './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
1210    * support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response"      - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
1211      curves      - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
1212    * fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope        (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
1213    
1214      * Gigasampler format engine:
1215        - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
1216        - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
1217        - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
1218          note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
1219          note-off velocity.
1220        - revised voice stealing
1221          (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
1222        - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
1223        - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
1224          instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
1225          (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
1226          this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
1227        - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
1228          (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
1229          resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
1230        - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
1231          instrument or audio output device change
1232

1234      - fixed some crashs (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)      - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
1235        - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
1236          (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
1237    
1238      * linuxsampler application:
1239        - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
1240          default IP address and port of LSCP server
