1    Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3      * plugin changes:
4        - LV2 Persist + Files support (patch by David Robillard)
5    
6      * packaging changes:
7        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
8        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
9        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
10        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
11          doing "make dist"
12        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
13        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
14        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
15        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
16        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
17          directories are separate
18        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
19          configure
20        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
21    
22      * general changes:
23        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
24          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
25        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
26          respective profiling code is currently broken
27        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
28          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
29          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
30          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).

32        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
33        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
34          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
35          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
36          effect type is)
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
38          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40          effect type is)
41        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
42        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
43          (as suggested by Alex Stone)

45    
46      * Gigasampler format engine:
47        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
48        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
49          dimension zones is not a power of two
50        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
51          key
52    
53      * SFZ format engine:
54        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
55        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
56        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
57          one from the gig engine

62        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
63          multiple regions

243        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
244          type while an instrument load was in progress

258    
259      * packaging changes:
260        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
261          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
262          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
263          (patch by Alexis Ballier)

270        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
271        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
272          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
273          directory above)
274        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
275        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
276        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
277        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
278    
279      * general changes:
280        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
281          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
282          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
283        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
284          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
285        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
286        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
287          unnecessarily long after an update
288        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
289          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
290          of gigedit)
291        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
292        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
293        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
294          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
295          implementation, which is usually faster)
296        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
297        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
298          VST plugin
299        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
300          only when there are actual changes

303        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
304        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
305        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
306          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
307          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
308        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
309          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
310        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
311          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
312          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
313          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
314        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
315          model more strictly
316        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
317        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
318          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
319          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
320    
321      * audio driver:
322        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
323          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
324        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
325          opposed to the LSCP specs
326        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
327          reflected the wrong value
328        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
329        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used

331          jack_client_new
332        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
333        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
334          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
335          (fixes #117)
336        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
337          win64)
338        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
339        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
340        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance

344          stereo
345        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
346          stored in the plugin state
347        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
348          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
349          (if available)
350        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
351          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
352    
353      * MIDI driver:
354        - added JACK MIDI driver
355        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
356          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
357          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
358        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
359          CoreMidi or AU
360        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
361        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
362          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
363        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver

370          in the instruments database
371          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
372        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
373          instrument database compilable
374        - added instrument database support on Windows
375          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
376          the instruments DB file is located in
377          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
378          databases for each windows user
379          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
380          and then creates an empty DB
381        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
382    
383      * Gigasampler format engine:
384        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
385          while notes were playing
386        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
387          isn't running
388        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
389          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
390        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
391          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
392        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
393          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
394          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
395          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
396          on)
397        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
398          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
399          be played
400        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
401          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
402          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
403          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
404          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
405          defined for the sampler
406        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
407          audio thread isn't running
408        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
409        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
410          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
411          sampler engine anymore
412        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
413          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
414        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
415          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
416          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
417        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
418          instrument-level gig parameters
419        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
420        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
421        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
422        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
423        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
424          note was silent
425        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
426          same time a new instrument was loading
427    
428      * LSCP server:
429        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
430          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
431          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
432        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
433          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
434          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
435        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
436          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
437        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
438          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
439        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
440          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
441        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
442          was incorrect
443        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
444        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
445          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
446          be triggered respectively
447        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
448          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
449          which will be triggered respectively
450        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
451          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
452        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
453        - hard close of all sockets on exit
454        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
455          driver
456    
457      * Bug fixes:
458        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
459          to start instrument loading after another channel
460        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
461          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
462        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
463          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
464        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
465        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
466          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
467          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
468          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
469          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
470        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
471        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
472        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
473          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
474        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
475        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
476          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
477        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
478          plugin was unloaded
479        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
480          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
481        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
482          Windows
483    
484    
485    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
486    
487      * packaging changes:
488        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
489        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
490          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
491        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
492    
493      * general changes:
494        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
495          editor closed
496        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
497          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
498          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
499          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
500        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
501          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
502          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
503          bugs.
504        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
505          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
506          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
507          unaligned 32bit read and shift
508        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
509          output via ASIO)
510        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
511        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
512          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
513          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
514    
515      * AUDIO driver:
516        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
517    
518      * MIDI driver:
519        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
520    
521      * LSCP server:
522        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
523          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
524          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
525        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
526          apostrophes as well
527        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
528          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
529          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
530          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
531          running on
532    
533    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
534    
535      * packaging changes:
536        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
537          API header files anymore
538        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
539          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
540        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
541          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
542          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
543          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
544        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
545          parameters
546        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
547          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
548          are now in global_private.h
549        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
550        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
551        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
552    
553      * general changes:
554        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
555          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
556          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
557          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
558          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
559          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
560          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
561          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
562          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
563          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
564          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
565          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
566          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
567          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
568          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
569          drumkits is possible
570        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
571          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
572        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
573          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
574          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
575        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
576          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
577          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
578          controllers
579        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
580        - Implemented new, improved notification system
581        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
582          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
583        - implemented instruments database
584        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
585        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
586          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
587          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
588          startup, added a new LSCP command:
589          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
590          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
591          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
592          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
593        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
594          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
595          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
596          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
597        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
598          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
599          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
600          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
601          setting their own policy and priority
602        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
603          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
604          its output
605        - fixed some minor memory leaks
606        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
607          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
608        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
609          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
610        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
611    
612      * MIDI driver:
613        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
614    
615      * audio driver:
616        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
617          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
618          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
619    
620      * Gigasampler format engine:
621        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
622          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
623          voice starvation for some gigs)
624        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
625        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
626          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
627          command
628        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
629        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
630        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
631          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
632          even if sustain is 100%
633        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
634          noises or crashes
635        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
636        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
637          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
638        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
639          instead of a fix value
640        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
641          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
642          changed
643    
644      * LSCP server:
645        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
646          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
647        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
648          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
649        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
650          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
651          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
652          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
653        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
654          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
655          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
656          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
657          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
658          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
659          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
660          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
661        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
662          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
663          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
664        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
665          settings
666        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
667          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
668          (fixes #57)
669    
670      * Bug fixes:
671        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
672        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
673          channel audio output device"
674        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
675          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
676        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
677          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
678          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
679        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
680          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
681          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
682        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
683        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
684          channel changes
685        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
686          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
687        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
688          an audio output device
689        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
690    
691      * test cases:
692        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
693    
694    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
695    
696      * packaging changes:
697        - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
698          to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
699          to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
700        - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
701          applications to link against liblinuxsampler
702        - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
703          (Doxygen required)
704        - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
705          implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
706          di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
707          with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
708          configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
709        - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
710          provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
711        - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
712          messages
713        - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
714          MIDI drivers
715        - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
716          (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
717    
718      * Gigasampler format engine:
719        - extensive synthesis optimization
720          (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
721          prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
722          each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
723          constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
724          linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
725          --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
726        - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
727        - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
728          following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
729          controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
730          curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
731          cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
732        - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
733        - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
734        - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
735          which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
736        - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
737          accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
738          ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
739          time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
740        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
741        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
742        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
743          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
744          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
745          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
746        - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
747          parameter) and crossfade
748        - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
749          parameter
750        - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
751          messages
752        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
753          instead of the wave chunk
754        - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
755          not equal to a power of two
756        - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
757          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
758          and lowpass turbo.
759        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
760          16 bits anymore
761        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
762          aftertouch)
763        - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
764          amplifying from 0)
765    
766      * LSCP server:
767        - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
768        - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
769          network activity (fixes bug #26)
770        - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
771          (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
772    
773      * audio driver:
774        - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
775    
776      * MIDI driver:
777        - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
778          messages several times instead of once
779        - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
780          for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
781        - added checks for bad MIDI data
782    
783      * linuxsampler application:
784        - show available sampler engine types on startup
785    
786      * general changes:
787        - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
788          LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
789          fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
790          introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
791          (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
792          --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
793          processing of muted channels.
794        - support for sostenuto pedal
795        - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
796          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
797          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
798        - fixed some memory management errors
799        - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
800          LSCP commands were executed
801        - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
802          sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
803    
804    Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
805    
806      * packaging changes:
807        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
808    
809      * Gigasampler format engine:
810        - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
811          disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
812        - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
813          for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
814          stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
815          about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
816          appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
817
