# Line 1  Line 1 
1    Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * SFZ format engine:
4        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
5    
6      * general changes:
7        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
8        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
9        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
10          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
11        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
12          position within a list.
13        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
14          a raw element pointer.
15        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
16          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
17          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
18          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
19    
20      * packaging changes:
21        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
22          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
23    
24      * Real-time instrument scripts:
25        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
26        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
27          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
28          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
29        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
30          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
31          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
32          microseconds.
33        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
34          potentially causing undefined behavior.
35        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
36          variable.
37    
38    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
39    
40      * packaging changes:
41        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
42        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
43        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
44        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
45          doing "make dist"
46        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
47        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
48        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
49        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
50        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
51          directories are separate
52        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
53          configure
54        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
55        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
56        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
57        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
58          gcc 4.7 and C++11
59        - modernized configure script
60        - fixed linkage error when building with
61          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
62        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
63        - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES
64        - fixed building with C++11
65        - build fix: ChangeFlagRelaxed.h was missing in makefile
66        - build fix: libsndfile compiler flags were missing in some
67          makefiles
68        - fix for building with bison 3.0 (#202)
69        - Mac OS X: added temporary hack allowing to spawn gigedit as callback
70          on the process's main thread
71        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
72        - support building with older jack versions
73        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
74        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
75          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
76          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
77    
78      * general changes:
79        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
80          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
81        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
82          respective profiling code is currently broken
83        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
84          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
85          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
86          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
87        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
88        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
89        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
90          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
91          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
92          effect type is)
93        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
94          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
95          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
96          effect type is)
97        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
98        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
99          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
100        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
101        - experimental support for per voice equalization
102        - added command line option --exec-after-init
103        - Introduced new C++ API method:
104          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
105          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
106          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
107          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
108          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
109        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
110        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
111        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
112        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
113        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
114        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
115          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
116          series (#182)
117        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
118          used it everywhere appropriate
119        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
120        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
121          SysEx way).
122        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
123          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
124          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
125        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
126        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
127          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
128          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
129          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
130          backward compatibility).
131        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
132          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
133        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
134        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
135          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
136        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
137        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
138        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
139        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
140          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
141          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
142          used so far).
143        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
144          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
145          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
146          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
147    
148      * Gigasampler format engine:
149        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
150        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
151          dimension zones is not a power of two
152        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
153          key
154        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
155        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
156        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
157          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
158        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
159          min value
160        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
161          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
162        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
163        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
164        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
165          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
166        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
167    
168      * SFZ format engine:
169        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
170        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
171        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
172          one from the gig engine

174        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
175        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
176        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
177        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
178          multiple regions

186        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
187        - added support for transpose

337        - fine-tuned amplitude EG (by switching from gig to sfz EG)
338        - initial implementation of Vibrato LFO and Modulation LFO
339        - initial implementation of cutoff filter
340        - use linear decay and release for filter and pitch EG
341    
342      * Host plugins (VST, AU, LV2, DSSI):
343        - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
344        - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
345        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
346          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
347          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
348        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
349        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
350          64 bit Windows
351        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
352          stereo
353        - VST: made it possible to build the VST plugin for Mac
354        - AU: link AU plugin dynamically if --disable-shared isn't
355          specified
356        - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)

358          the plugin was loaded a second time (#174)
359        - plugin bugfix: instrument loading hang when the plugin was
360          loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
361          similar fix was for Windows)
362        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
363        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
364        - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
365          Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
366        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
367        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
368          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
369        - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
370          and event
371        - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin
372        - LV2: changed number of output channels to 16 stereo, just like
373          the VST and AU plugins
374        - LV2: fixed save/restore of SFZ state (patch by David Robillard)
375        - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac
376        - VST: implemented retrieval and switching of programs using the
377          sampler's internal MIDI instrument mapping system
378    
379      * Instrument editor interface:
380        - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
381          informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
382          spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
383          with the sampler.
384    
385      * MIDI driver:
386        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
387          the ALSA sequencer client name
388        - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
389          there is no reason for this limit
390        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
391        - MME: removed compiler warning
392        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
393          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
394          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
395        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
396          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
397          (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
398        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
399        - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
400        - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
401          virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.
402        - Bugfix in VirtualMidiDevice: process note on with velocity 0 as note off.
403        - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
404        - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
405        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
406        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
407          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
408        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
409        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
410    
411      * audio driver:
412        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
413        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.
414        - JACK audio: react on buffer size changes.

416          RT context.
417        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
418        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
419        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)
420        - JACK audio: return the JACK server's current sample rate as default value
421          for audio device parameter "SAMPLERATE" (fixes #166).
422    
423      * LSCP server:
424        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command

458          "SUBSCRIBE SEND_EFFECT_CHAIN_INFO"
459        - provide comprehensive error messages on LSCP syntax errors
460          (suggesting expected next non-terminal symbols)
461    
462      * LSCP shell:
463        - Added support for auto correction of obvious and trivial syntax mistakes.

469          be the case in other shells).
470        - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
471        - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
472          automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
473          as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command
474          line.
475

491        - Implemented built-in script function "ignore_controller()" (may have one
492          or no argument).
493        - Implemented built-in script function "set_controller()".
494        - Added extended script VM for the Gigasampler/GigaStudio format sampler
495          engine, which extends the general instrument script VM with Giga format
496          specific variables and functions.
497        - Giga format scripts: added built-in script int constant variables
498          $GIG_DIM_CHANNEL, $GIG_DIM_LAYER, $GIG_DIM_VELOCITY, $GIG_DIM_AFTERTOUCH,

522        - Pass/preserve polyphonic variable data from respective "note" event
523          handler to "release" event handler.
524    
525      * Bug fixes:

527        - minor valgrind fixes
528        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
529          channel to a different engine type
530        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
531          type while an instrument load was in progress
532        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
533          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
534        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
535          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
536        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
537          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
538        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
539        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
540          it caused hanging threads on Windows
541        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
542          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
543        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
544          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
545          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
546          instrument was completely reloaded again.
547        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
548          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
549          project, slightly adjusted)
550        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
551          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

556        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
557          (#176)
558        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
559        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
560        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
561        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
562          introduced in previous fix)
563        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
564          playing a note in a key group
565        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
566          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
567        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
568          crashes and noise on such transitions).
569        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
570          (fixes #208)
571        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
572          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
573          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
574          shell's auto completion feature).
575        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
576          after each other (fixes #231).
577    
578    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
579    
580      * packaging changes:
581        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
582          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
583          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
584          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
585        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
586        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
587        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
588        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
589        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
590        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
591        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
592        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
593          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
594          directory above)
595        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
596        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
597        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
598        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
599    
600      * general changes:
601        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
602          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
603          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
604        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
605          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
606        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
607        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
608          unnecessarily long after an update
609        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
610          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
611          of gigedit)
612        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
613        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
614        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
615          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
616          implementation, which is usually faster)
617        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
618        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
619          VST plugin
620        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
621          only when there are actual changes
622        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
623          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
624        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
625        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
626        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
627          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
628          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
629        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
630          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
631        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
632          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
633          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
634          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
635        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
636          model more strictly
637        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
638        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
639          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
640          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
641        - updated linuxsampler man page
642    
643      * audio driver:
644        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
645          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
646        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
647          opposed to the LSCP specs
648        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
649          reflected the wrong value
650        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
651        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
652        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
653          jack_client_new
654        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
655        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
656          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
657          (fixes #117)
658        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
659          win64)
660        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
661        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
662        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
663        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
664          energyXT)
665        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
666          stereo
667        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
668          stored in the plugin state
669        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
670          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
671          (if available)
672        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
673          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
674    
675      * MIDI driver:
676        - added JACK MIDI driver
677        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
678          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
679          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
680        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
681          CoreMidi or AU
682        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
683        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
684          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
685        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
686    
687      * instruments database:
688        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
689          to the instruments database
690        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
691        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
692          in the instruments database
693          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
694        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
695          instrument database compilable
696        - added instrument database support on Windows
697          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
698          the instruments DB file is located in
699          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
700          databases for each windows user
701          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
702          and then creates an empty DB
703        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
704    
705      * Gigasampler format engine:
706        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
707          while notes were playing
708        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
709          isn't running
710        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
711          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
712        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
713          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
714        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
715          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
716          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
717          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
718          on)
719        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
720          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
721          be played
722        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
723          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
724          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
725          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
726          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
727          defined for the sampler
728        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
729          audio thread isn't running
730        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
731        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
732          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
733          sampler engine anymore
734        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
735          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
736        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
737          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
738          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
739        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
740          instrument-level gig parameters
741        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
742        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
743        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
744        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
745        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
746          note was silent
747        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
748          same time a new instrument was loading
749    
750      * LSCP server:
751        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
752          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
753          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
754        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
755          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
756          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
757        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
758          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
759        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
760          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
761        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
762          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
763        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
764          was incorrect
765        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
766        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
767          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
768          be triggered respectively
769        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
770          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
771          which will be triggered respectively
772        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
773          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
774        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
775        - hard close of all sockets on exit
776        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
777          driver
778    
779      * Bug fixes:
780        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
781          to start instrument loading after another channel
782        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
783          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
784        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
785          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
786        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
787        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
788          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
789          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
790          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
791          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
792        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
793        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
794        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
795          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
796        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
797        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
798          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
799        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
800          plugin was unloaded
801        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
802          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
803        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
804          Windows
805    
806    
807    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
808    
809      * packaging changes:
810        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
811        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
812          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
813        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
814    
815      * general changes:
816        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
817          editor closed
818        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
819          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
820          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
821          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
822        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
823          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
824          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
825          bugs.
826        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
827          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
828          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
829          unaligned 32bit read and shift
830        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
831          output via ASIO)
832        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
833        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
834          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
835          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
836    
837      * AUDIO driver:
838        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
839    
840      * MIDI driver:
841        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
842    
843      * LSCP server:
844        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
845          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
846          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
847        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
848          apostrophes as well
849        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
850          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
851          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
852          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
853          running on
854    
855    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
856    
857      * packaging changes:
858        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
859          API header files anymore
860        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
861          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
862        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
863          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
864          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
865          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
866        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
867          parameters
868        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
869          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
870          are now in global_private.h
871        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
872        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
873        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
874    
875      * general changes:
876        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
877          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
878          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
879          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
880          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
881          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
882          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
883          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
884          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
885          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
886          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
887          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
888          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
889          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
890          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
891          drumkits is possible
892        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
893          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
894        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
895          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
896          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
897        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
898          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
899          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
900          controllers
901        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
902        - Implemented new, improved notification system
903        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
904          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
905        - implemented instruments database
906        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
907        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
908          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
909          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
910          startup, added a new LSCP command:
911          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
912          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
913          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
914          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
915        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
916          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
917          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
918          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
919        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
920          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
921          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
922          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
923          setting their own policy and priority
924        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
925          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
926          its output
927        - fixed some minor memory leaks
928        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
929          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
930        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
931          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
932        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
933    
934      * MIDI driver:
935        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
936    
937      * audio driver:
938        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
939          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
940          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
941    
942      * Gigasampler format engine:
943        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
944          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
945          voice starvation for some gigs)
946        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
947        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
948          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
949          command
950        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
951        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
952        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
953          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
954          even if sustain is 100%
955        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
956          noises or crashes
957        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
958        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
959          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
960        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
961          instead of a fix value
962        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
963          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
964          changed
965    
966      * LSCP server:
967        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
968          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
969        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
970          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
971        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
972          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
973          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
974          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
975        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
976          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
977          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
978          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
979          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
980          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
981          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
982          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
983        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
984          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
985          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
986        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
987          settings
988        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
989          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
990          (fixes #57)
991    
992      * Bug fixes:
993        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
994        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
995          channel audio output device"
996        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
997          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
998        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
999          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1000          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1001        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1002          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1003          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1004        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1005        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1006          channel changes
1007        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1008          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1009        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1010          an audio output device
1011        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
1012    
1013      * test cases:
1014        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
1015    
1016    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
1017    
1018      * packaging changes:
1019        - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
1020          to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
1021          to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
1022        - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
1023          applications to link against liblinuxsampler
1024        - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
1025          (Doxygen required)
1026        - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
1027          implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
1028          di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
1029          with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
1030          configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
1031        - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
1032          provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
1033        - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
1034          messages
1035        - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
1036          MIDI drivers
1037        - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
1038          (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
1039    
1040      * Gigasampler format engine:
1041        - extensive synthesis optimization
1042          (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
1043          prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
1044          each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
1045          constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
1046          linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
1047          --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
1048        - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
1049        - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
1050          following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
1051          controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
1052          curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
1053          cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
1054        - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
1055        - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
1056        - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
1057          which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
1058        - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
1059          accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
1060          ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
1061          time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
1062        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
1063        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
1064        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
1065          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
1066          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
1067          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
1068        - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
1069          parameter) and crossfade
1070        - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
1071          parameter
1072        - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
1073          messages
1074        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
1075          instead of the wave chunk
1076        - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
1077          not equal to a power of two
1078        - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
1079          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1080          and lowpass turbo.
1081        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1082          16 bits anymore
1083        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1084          aftertouch)
1085        - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1086          amplifying from 0)
1087    
1088      * LSCP server:
1089        - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
1090        - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
1091          network activity (fixes bug #26)
1092        - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
