# Line 1  Line 1 
1    Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3      * plugin changes:
4        - LV2 "state" extension 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).
31        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
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)
44        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
45        - experimental support for per voice equalization
46        - added command line option --exec-after-init
47        - Introduced new C++ API method:
48          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
49          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
50          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
51          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
52          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
53    
54      * Gigasampler format engine:
55        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
56        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
57          dimension zones is not a power of two
58        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
59          key
60    
61      * SFZ format engine:
62        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
63        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators

67        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
68        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
69        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
70        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
71          multiple regions
72        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
73          more compatible
74        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
75        - added support for off_mode=normal

78        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
79        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
80        - added support for transpose
81        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
82        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
83        - added more v1 aliases to parser

299      * Bug fixes:
300        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
301        - minor valgrind fixes
302        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
303          channel to a different engine type
304        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
305          type while an instrument load was in progress
306        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
307          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
308        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
309          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
310        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
311          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
312        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
313        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
314          it caused hanging threads on Windows
315        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
316          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
317        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
318          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
319          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
320          instrument was completely reloaded again.
321        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
322          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
323          project, slightly adjusted)
324        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
325          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
326        - fixed bug #162
327        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
328          multiple paths (#165)

338        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
339          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
340          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
341          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
342        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
343        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
344        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
345        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
346        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
347        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
348        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
349        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
350          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
351          directory above)
352        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
353        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
354        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
355        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
356    
357      * general changes:
358        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
359          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
360          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
361        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
362          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
363        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
364        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
365          unnecessarily long after an update
366        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
367          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
368          of gigedit)
369        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
370        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
371        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
372          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
373          implementation, which is usually faster)
374        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
375        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
376          VST plugin
377        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
378          only when there are actual changes
379        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
380          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
381        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
382        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
383        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
384          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
385          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
386        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
387          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
388        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
389          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
390          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
391          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
392        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
393          model more strictly
394        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
395        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
396          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
397          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
398    
399      * audio driver:
400        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
401          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
402        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
403          opposed to the LSCP specs
404        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
405          reflected the wrong value
406        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
407        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
408        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
409          jack_client_new
410        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
411        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
412          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
413          (fixes #117)
414        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
415          win64)
416        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
417        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
418        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
419        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
420          energyXT)
421        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
422          stereo
423        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
424          stored in the plugin state
425        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
426          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
427          (if available)
428        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
429          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
430    
431      * MIDI driver:
432        - added JACK MIDI driver
433        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
434          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
435          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
436        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
437          CoreMidi or AU
438        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
439        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
440          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
441        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
442    
443      * instruments database:
444        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
445          to the instruments database
446        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
447        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
448          in the instruments database
449          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
450        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
451          instrument database compilable
452        - added instrument database support on Windows
453          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
454          the instruments DB file is located in
455          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
456          databases for each windows user
457          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
458          and then creates an empty DB
459        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
460    
461      * Gigasampler format engine:
462        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
463          while notes were playing
464        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
465          isn't running
466        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
467          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
468        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
469          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
470        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
471          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
472          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
473          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
474          on)
475        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
476          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
477          be played
478        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
479          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
480          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
481          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
482          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
483          defined for the sampler
484        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
485          audio thread isn't running
486        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
487        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
488          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
489          sampler engine anymore
490        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
491          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
492        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
493          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
494          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
495        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
496          instrument-level gig parameters
497        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
498        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
499        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
500        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
501        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
502          note was silent
503        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
504          same time a new instrument was loading
505    
506      * LSCP server:
507        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
508          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
509          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
510        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
511          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
512          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
513        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
514          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
515        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
516          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
517        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
518          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
519        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
520          was incorrect
521        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
522        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
523          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
524          be triggered respectively
525        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
526          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
527          which will be triggered respectively
528        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
529          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
530        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
531        - hard close of all sockets on exit
532        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
533          driver
534    
535      * Bug fixes:
536        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
537          to start instrument loading after another channel
538        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
539          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
540        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
541          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
542        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
543        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
544          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
545          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
546          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
547          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
548        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
549        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
550        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
551          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
552        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
553        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
554          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
555        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
556          plugin was unloaded
557        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
558          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
559        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
560          Windows
561    
562    
563    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
564    
565      * packaging changes:
566        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
567        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
568          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
569        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
570    
571      * general changes:
572        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
573          editor closed
574        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
575          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
576          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
577          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
578        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
579          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
580          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
581          bugs.
582        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
583          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
584          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
585          unaligned 32bit read and shift
586        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
587          output via ASIO)
588        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
589        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
590          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
591          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
592    
593      * AUDIO driver:
594        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
595    
596      * MIDI driver:
597        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
598    
599      * LSCP server:
600        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
601          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
602          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
603        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
604          apostrophes as well
605        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
606          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
607          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
608          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
609          running on
610    
611    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
612    
613      * packaging changes:
614        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
615          API header files anymore
616        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
617          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
618        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
619          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
620          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
621          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
622        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
623          parameters
624        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
625          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
626          are now in global_private.h
627        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
628        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
629        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
630    
631      * general changes:
632        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
633          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
634          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
635          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
636          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
637          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
638          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
639          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
640          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
641          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
642          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
643          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
644          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
645          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
646          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
647          drumkits is possible
648        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
649          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
650        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
651          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
652          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
653        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
654          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
655          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
656          controllers
657        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
658        - Implemented new, improved notification system
659        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
660          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
661        - implemented instruments database
662        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
663        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
664          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
665          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
666          startup, added a new LSCP command:
667          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
668          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
669          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
670          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
671        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
672          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
673          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
674          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
675        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
676          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
677          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
678          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
679          setting their own policy and priority
680        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
681          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
682          its output
683        - fixed some minor memory leaks
684        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
685          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
686        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
687          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
688        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
689    
690      * MIDI driver:
691        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
692    
693      * audio driver:
694        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
695          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
696          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
697    
698      * Gigasampler format engine:
699        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
700          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
701          voice starvation for some gigs)
702        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
703        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
704          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
705          command
706        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
707        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
708        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
709          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
710          even if sustain is 100%
711        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
712          noises or crashes
713        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
714        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
715          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
716        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
717          instead of a fix value
718        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
719          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
720          changed
721    
722      * LSCP server:
723        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
724          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
725        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
726          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
727        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
728          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
729          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
730          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
731        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
732          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
733          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
734          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
735          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
736          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
737          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
738          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
739        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
740          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
741          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
742        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
743          settings
744        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
745          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
746          (fixes #57)
747    
748      * Bug fixes:
749        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
750        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
751          channel audio output device"
752        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
753          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
754        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
755          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
756          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
757        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
758          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
759          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
760        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
761        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
762          channel changes
763        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
764          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
765        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
766          an audio output device
767        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
768    
769      * test cases:
770        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
771    
772    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
773    
774      * packaging changes:
775        - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
776          to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
777          to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
778        - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
779          applications to link against liblinuxsampler
780        - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
781          (Doxygen required)
782        - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
783          implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
784          di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
785          with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
786          configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
787        - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
788          provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
789        - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
790          messages
791        - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
792          MIDI drivers
793        - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
794          (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
795    
796      * Gigasampler format engine:
797        - extensive synthesis optimization
798          (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
799          prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
800          each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
801          constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
802          linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
803          --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
804        - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
805        - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
806          following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
807          controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
808          curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
809          cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
810        - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
811        - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
812        - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
813          which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
814        - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
815          accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
816          ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
817          time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
818        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
819        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
820        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
821          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
822          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
823          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
824        - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
825          parameter) and crossfade
826        - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
827          parameter
828        - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
829          messages
830        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
831          instead of the wave chunk
832        - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
833          not equal to a power of two
834        - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
835          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
836          and lowpass turbo.
837        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
838          16 bits anymore
839        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
840          aftertouch)
841        - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
842          amplifying from 0)
843    
844      * LSCP server:
845        - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
846        - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
847          network activity (fixes bug #26)
848        - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
849          (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
850    
851      * audio driver:
852        - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
853    
854      * MIDI driver:
855        - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
856          messages several times instead of once
857        - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
858          for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
859        - added checks for bad MIDI data
860    
861      * linuxsampler application:
862        - show available sampler engine types on startup
863    
864      * general changes:
865        - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
866          LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
867          fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
868          introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
869          (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
870          --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
871          processing of muted channels.
872        - support for sostenuto pedal
873        - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
874          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
875          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
876        - fixed some memory management errors
877        - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
878          LSCP commands were executed
879        - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
880          sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
881    
882    Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
883    
884      * packaging changes:
885        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
886    
887      * Gigasampler format engine:
888        - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
889          disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
890        - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
891          for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
892          stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
893          about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
894          appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
895
