1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
5          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
6          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
7          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
8        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
9        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
10        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
11        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
12        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
13        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
14        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
15        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
16          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
17          directory above)
18        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
19        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
20        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
21        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
22    
23      * general changes:
24        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
25          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
26          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
27        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
28          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
29        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
30        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
31          unnecessarily long after an update
32        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
33          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
34          of gigedit)
35        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
36        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
37        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
38          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
39          implementation, which is usually faster)
40        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
41        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
42          VST plugin
43        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
44          only when there are actual changes
45        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
46          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
47        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
48        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
49        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
50          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
51          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
52        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
53          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
54        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
55          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
56          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
57          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
58        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
59          model more strictly
60        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
61    
62      * audio driver:
63        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
64          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
65        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
66          opposed to the LSCP specs
67        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
68          reflected the wrong value
69        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
70        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
71        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
72          jack_client_new
73        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
74        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
75          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
76          (fixes #117)
77        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
78          win64)
79        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
80        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
81        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
82        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
83          energyXT)
84        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
85          stereo
86        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
87          stored in the plugin state
88        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
89          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
90          (if available)
91    
92      * MIDI driver:
93        - added JACK MIDI driver
94        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
95          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
96          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
97        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
98          CoreMidi or AU
99        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
100        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
101          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
102    
103      * instruments database:
104        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
105          to the instruments database
106        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
107        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
108          in the instruments database
109          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
110        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
111          instrument database compilable
112        - added instrument database support on Windows
113          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
114          the instruments DB file is located in
115          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
116          databases for each windows user
117          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
118          and then creates an empty DB
119        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
120    
121      * Gigasampler format engine:
122        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
123          while notes were playing
124        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
125          isn't running
126        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
127          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
128        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
129          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
130        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
131          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
132          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
133          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
134          on)
135        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
136          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
137          be played
138        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
139          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
140          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
141          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
142          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
143          defined for the sampler
144        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
145          audio thread isn't running
146        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
147        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
148          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
149          sampler engine anymore
150        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
151          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
152        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
153          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
154          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
155        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
156          instrument-level gig parameters
157        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
158        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
159        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
160        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
161        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
162          note was silent
163        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
164          same time a new instrument was loading
165    
166      * LSCP server:
167        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
168          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
169          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
170        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
171          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
172          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
173        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
174          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
175        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
176          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
177        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
178          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
179        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
180          was incorrect
181        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
182        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
183          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
184          be triggered respectively
185        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
186          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
187          which will be triggered respectively
188        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
189          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
190        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
191        - hard close of all sockets on exit
192        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
193          driver
194    
195      * Bug fixes:
196        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
197          to start instrument loading after another channel
198        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
199          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
200        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
201          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
202        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
203        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
204          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
205          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
206          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
207          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
208        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
209        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
210        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
211          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
212        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
213        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
214          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
215        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
216          plugin was unloaded
217        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
218          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
219        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
220          Windows
221    
222    
223    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
224    
225      * packaging changes:
226        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
227        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
228          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
229        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
230    
231      * general changes:
232        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
233          editor closed
234        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
235          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
236          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
237          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
238        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
239          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
240          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
241          bugs.
242        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
243          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
244          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
245          unaligned 32bit read and shift
246        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
247          output via ASIO)
248        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
249        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
250          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
251          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
252    
253      * AUDIO driver:
254        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
255    
256      * MIDI driver:
257        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
258    
259      * LSCP server:
260        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
261          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
262          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
263        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
264          apostrophes as well
265        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
266          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
267          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
268          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
269          running on
270    
271    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
272    
273      * packaging changes:
274        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
275          API header files anymore
276        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
277          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
278        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
279          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
280          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
281          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
282        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
283          parameters
284        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
285          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
286          are now in global_private.h
287        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
288        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
289        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
290    
291      * general changes:
292        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
293          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
294          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
295          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
296          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
297          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
298          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
299          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
300          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
301          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
302          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
303          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
304          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
305          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
306          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
307          drumkits is possible
308        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
309          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
310        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
311          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
312          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
313        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
314          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
315          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
316          controllers
317        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
318        - Implemented new, improved notification system
319        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
320          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
321        - implemented instruments database
322        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
323        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
324          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
325          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
326          startup, added a new LSCP command:
327          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
328          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
329          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
330          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
331        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
332          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
333          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
334          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
335        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
336          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
337          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
338          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
339          setting their own policy and priority
340        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
341          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
342          its output
343        - fixed some minor memory leaks
344        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
345          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
346        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
347          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
348        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
349    
350      * MIDI driver:
351        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
352    
353      * audio driver:
354        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
355          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
356          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
357    
358      * Gigasampler format engine:
359        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
360          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
361          voice starvation for some gigs)
362        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
363        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
364          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
365          command
366        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
367        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
368        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
369          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
370          even if sustain is 100%
371        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
372          noises or crashes
373        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
374        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
375          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
376        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
377          instead of a fix value
378        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
379          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
380          changed
381    
382      * LSCP server:
383        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
384          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
385        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
386          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
387        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
388          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
389          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
390          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
391        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
392          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
393          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
394          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
395          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
396          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
397          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
398          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
399        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
400          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
401          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
402        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
403          settings
404        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
405          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
406          (fixes #57)
407    
408      * Bug fixes:
409        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
410        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
411          channel audio output device"
412        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
413          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
414        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
415          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
416          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
417        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
418          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
419          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
420        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
421        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
422          channel changes
423        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
424          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
425        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
426          an audio output device
427        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
428    
429      * test cases:
430        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
431    
432    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
433    
434      * packaging changes:
435        - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
436          to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
437          to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
438        - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
439          applications to link against liblinuxsampler
440        - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
441          (Doxygen required)
442        - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
443          implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
444          di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
445          with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
446          configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
447        - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
448          provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
449        - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
450          messages
451        - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
452          MIDI drivers
453        - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
454          (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
455    
456      * Gigasampler format engine:
457        - extensive synthesis optimization
458          (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
459          prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
460          each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
461          constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
462          linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
463          --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
464        - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
465        - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
466          following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
467          controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
468          curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
469          cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
470        - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
471        - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
472        - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
473          which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
474        - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
475          accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
476          ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
477          time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
478        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
479        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
480        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
481          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
482          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
483          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
484        - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
485          parameter) and crossfade
486        - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
487          parameter
488        - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
489          messages
490        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
491          instead of the wave chunk
492        - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
493          not equal to a power of two
494        - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
495          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
496          and lowpass turbo.
497        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
498          16 bits anymore
499        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
500          aftertouch)
501        - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
502          amplifying from 0)
503    
504      * LSCP server:
505        - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
506        - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
507          network activity (fixes bug #26)
508        - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
509          (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
510    
511      * audio driver:
512        - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
513    
514      * MIDI driver:
515        - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
516          messages several times instead of once
517        - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
518          for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
519        - added checks for bad MIDI data
520    
521      * linuxsampler application:
522        - show available sampler engine types on startup
523    
524      * general changes:
525        - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
526          LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
527          fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
528          introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
529          (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
530          --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
531          processing of muted channels.
532        - support for sostenuto pedal
533        - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
534          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
535          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
536        - fixed some memory management errors
537        - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
538          LSCP commands were executed
539        - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
540          sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
541    
542    Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
543    
544      * packaging changes:
545        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
546    
547      * Gigasampler format engine:
548        - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
549          disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
550        - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
551          for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
552          stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
553          about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
554          appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
555    
556    Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
557    
558      * packaging changes:
559      - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X      - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
560        (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)        (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
561      - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with      - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
# Line 15  Version CVS HEAD (?) Line 570  Version CVS HEAD (?)
570      - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,      - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
571        note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of        note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
572        note-off velocity.        note-off velocity.
573      - revised voice stealing (fixes crash caused by voice stealing)      - revised voice stealing
574          (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
575      - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change      - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
576        - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
577          instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
578          (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
579          this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
580        - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
581          (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
582          resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
583        - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
584          instrument or audio output device change
585    
586    * LSCP server:    * LSCP server:
