# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * SFZ format engine:
4        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
5    
6      * general changes:
7        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
8        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
9        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
10          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
11        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
12          position within a list.
13        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
14          a raw element pointer.
15        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
16          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
17          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
18          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
19        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
20          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
21          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
22          script features.
23        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
24          (CC #64) events.
25        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
26          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
27        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
28          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
29          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
30    
31      * packaging changes:
32        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
33          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
34        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
35          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
36    
37      * Real-time instrument scripts:
38        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
39        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
40          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
41          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
42        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
43          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
44          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
45          microseconds.
46        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
47          potentially causing undefined behavior.
48        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
49          variable.
50        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
51          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
52          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
53        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
54        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
55          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
56          script editor applications.
57        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
58        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
59          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
60          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
61        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
62          editor.
63        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
64          like "on note end on".
65        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
66        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
67        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
68        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
69        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
70        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
71        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
72          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
73          "event_status()" function.
74        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
75          and ".not.".
76        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
77          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
78        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
79        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
80          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
81          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
82        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
83        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
84        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
85        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
86        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
87        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
88        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
89        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
90          associative instead of left (to right).
91        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
92          (i.e. "if end if").
93        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
94        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
95        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
96        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
97        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
98          handled by the script parser).
99        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
100        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
101        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
102        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".
103        - NKSP Language: Added support for user defined script functions.
104        - Implemented built-in script function "change_attack()".
105        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
106        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
107        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
108          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
109          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
110          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
111          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
112          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
113        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
114        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
115        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
116        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
117        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
118          was loaded.
119        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
120          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
121          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
122          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
123    
124    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
125    
126      * packaging changes:
127        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
128        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
129        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory

131          doing "make dist"
132        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
133        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
134        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
135        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
136        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
137          directories are separate
138        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
139          configure
140        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
141        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
142        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions

157        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
158        - support building with older jack versions
159        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
160        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
161          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
162          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
163    
164      * general changes:
165        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
166          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
167        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
168          respective profiling code is currently broken
169        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
170          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
171          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
172          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
173        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
174        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
175        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
176          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
177          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
178          effect type is)
179        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
180          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
181          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
182          effect type is)
183        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
184        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
185          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
186        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
187        - experimental support for per voice equalization
188        - added command line option --exec-after-init
189        - Introduced new C++ API method:
190          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
191          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
192          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
193          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
194          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
195        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
196        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
197        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
198        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
199        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
200        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
201          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
202          series (#182)
203        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
204          used it everywhere appropriate
205        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
206        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
207          SysEx way).
208        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
209          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
210          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
211        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
212        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
213          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
214          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
215          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
216          backward compatibility).
217        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
218          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
219        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
220        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
221          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
222        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
223        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
224        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
225        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
226          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
227          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
228          used so far).
229        - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
230          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
231          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
232          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
233    
234      * Gigasampler format engine:
235        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
236        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
237          dimension zones is not a power of two
238        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
239          key
240        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
241        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
242        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
243          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
244        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
245          min value
246        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
247          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
248        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
249        - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
250        - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
251          conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
252        - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
253    
254      * SFZ format engine:
255        - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
256        - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators
257        - added a fine-tuned v1 envelope generator instead of using the
258          one from the gig engine
259        - fixed memory leak and memory handling errors
260        - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
261        - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)
262        - "key" opcode now sets pitch_keycenter too
263        - fixed error when unloading instrument with same sample used by
264          multiple regions
265        - added some opcode aliases, like loopmode for loop_mode, to be
266          more compatible
267        - added support for trigger=release and rt_decay
268        - added support for off_mode=normal
269        - added support for random, seq_position, seq_length and volume
270        - added v1 LFO opcodes to parser (no support in engine yet)
271        - added support for amp_veltrack and amp_velcurve_N
272        - fine-tuned the default velocity curve
273        - added support for transpose
274        - fixed crash when using sw_down/up
275        - improved logic for sw_lokey/hikey/up/down/last
276        - added more v1 aliases to parser
277        - reduced memory usage for sfz data
278        - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
279        - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
280        - optimized sample lookup
281        - improved support for exclusive groups (group, off_by and
282          off_mode)
283        - added support for controller triggered regions (on_locc/on_hicc)
284        - added support for loop_mode=one_shot
285        - fixed playback of 16 bit wav files on big endian CPUs
286        - added support for Ogg Vorbis sample files
287        - use loop markers from sample file if loop_start and loop_end are
288          not set in sfz file
289        - implemeted filters. Filter types: lowpass, bandpass, bandreject
290          and highpass. 1, 2, 4 and 6 pole filters. Opcodes: fil_type,
291          cutoff, resonance, fil_veltrack, fil_keytrack, fil_keycenter,
292          cutoff_cc, cutoff_chanaft.
293        - bugfix: zero ampeg_sustain didn't work
294        - added support for velocity effect on amplifier envelope time
295          (ampeg_vel2attack, ampeg_vel2decay, ampeg_vel2sustain and
296          ampeg_vel2release)
297        - added support for EG hold (ampeg_hold)

431        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
432          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
433          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
434        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
435        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
436          64 bit Windows

452        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
453        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI

466        - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
467          informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
468          spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
469          with the sampler.
470    
471      * MIDI driver:
472        - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
473          the ALSA sequencer client name

475          there is no reason for this limit
476        - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
477        - MME: removed compiler warning
478        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
479          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
480          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
481        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
482          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports

489        - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
490        - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
491        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
492        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
493          parameter "AUTO_BIND").
494        - CoreMIDI: fixed auto bind feature to CoreMIDI ports that go online
495        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
496    
497      * audio driver:
498        - ASIO driver fixes for newer gcc versions (fix from PortAudio)
499        - JACK audio: react on sample rate changes.

502          RT context.
503        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
504        - CoreAudio: fixed minor error handling bug
505        - ASIO driver: be more verbose when no ASIO card could be found (fixes #203)

621          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
622        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
623          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
624        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads

627        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
628          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
629        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
630          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
631          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
632          instrument was completely reloaded again.
633        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
634          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
635          project, slightly adjusted)

648          introduced in previous fix)
649        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
650          playing a note in a key group
651        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
652          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
653        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
654          crashes and noise on such transitions).
655        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
656          (fixes #208)
657        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
658          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
659          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
660          shell's auto completion feature).
661        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
662          after each other (fixes #231).

664    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
665    
666      * packaging changes:
667        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,

690        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
691          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
692        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded

694          unnecessarily long after an update
695        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
696          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
697          of gigedit)
698        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
699        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
700        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
701          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
702          implementation, which is usually faster)
703        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
704        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
705          VST plugin
706        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
707          only when there are actual changes
708        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
709          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
710        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
711        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
712        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
713          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
714          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
715        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
716          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
717        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
718          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
719          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
720          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
721        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
722          model more strictly
723        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
724        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
725          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
726          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
727        - updated linuxsampler man page
728    
729      * audio driver:
730        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
731          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
732        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
733          opposed to the LSCP specs
734        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
735          reflected the wrong value
736        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
737        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
738        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
739          jack_client_new
740        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
741        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
742          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
743          (fixes #117)
744        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
745          win64)
746        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
747        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
748        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
749        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
750          energyXT)
751        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
752          stereo
753        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
754          stored in the plugin state
755        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
756          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
757          (if available)
758        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
759          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
760    
761      * MIDI driver:
762        - added JACK MIDI driver
763        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
764          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
765          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
766        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
767          CoreMidi or AU
768        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
769        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
770          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
771        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
772    
773      * instruments database:
774        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
775          to the instruments database
776        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
777        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
778          in the instruments database
779          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
780        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
781          instrument database compilable
782        - added instrument database support on Windows
783          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
784          the instruments DB file is located in
785          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
786          databases for each windows user
787          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
788          and then creates an empty DB
789        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
790    
791      * Gigasampler format engine:
792        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
793          while notes were playing
794        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
795          isn't running
796        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
797          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
798        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
799          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
800        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
801          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
802          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
803          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
804          on)
805        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
806          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
807          be played
808        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
809          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
810          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
811          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
812          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
813          defined for the sampler
814        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
815          audio thread isn't running
816        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
817        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
818          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
819          sampler engine anymore
820        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
821          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
822        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
823          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
824          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
825        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
826          instrument-level gig parameters
827        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
828        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
829        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
830        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
831        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
832          note was silent
833        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
834          same time a new instrument was loading
835    
836      * LSCP server:
837        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
838          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
839          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
840        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
841          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
842          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
843        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
844          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
845        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
846          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
847        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
848          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
849        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
850          was incorrect
851        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
852        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
853          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
854          be triggered respectively
855        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
856          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
857          which will be triggered respectively
858        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
859          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
860        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
861        - hard close of all sockets on exit
862        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
863          driver
864    
865      * Bug fixes:
866        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
867          to start instrument loading after another channel
868        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
869          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
870        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
871          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
872        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
873        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
874          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
875          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
876          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
877          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
878        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
879        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
880        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
881          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
882        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
883        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
884          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
885        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
886          plugin was unloaded
887        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
888          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
889        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
890          Windows
891    
892    
893    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
894    
895      * packaging changes:
896        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
897        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
898          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
899        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
900    
901      * general changes:
902        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
903          editor closed
904        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
905          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
906          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
907          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
908        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
909          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
910          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
911          bugs.
912        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
913          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
914          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
915          unaligned 32bit read and shift
916        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
917          output via ASIO)
918        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
919        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
920          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
921          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
922    
923      * AUDIO driver:
924        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
925    
926      * MIDI driver:
927        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
928    
929      * LSCP server:
930        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
931          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
932          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
933        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
934          apostrophes as well
935        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
936          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
937          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
938          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
939          running on
940    
941    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
942    
943    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
944        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
945          API header files anymore
946        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
947          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
948        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
949          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
950          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
951          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
952        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
953          parameters
954        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
955          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
956          are now in global_private.h
957        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
958        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
959        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
960    
961      * general changes:
962        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
963          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
964          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
965          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
966          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
967          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
968          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
969          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
970          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
971          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
972          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
973          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
974          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
975          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
976          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
977          drumkits is possible
978        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
979          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
980        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
981          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
982          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
983        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
984          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
985          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
986          controllers
987        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
988        - Implemented new, improved notification system
989        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
990          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
991        - implemented instruments database
992        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
993        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
994          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
995          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
996          startup, added a new LSCP command:
997          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
998          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
999          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
1000          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
1001        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
1002          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
1003          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
1004          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
1005        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
1006          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
1007          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
1008          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
1009          setting their own policy and priority
1010        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
1011          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
1012          its output
1013        - fixed some minor memory leaks
1014        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
1015          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
1016        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
1017          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
1018        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
1019    
1020      * MIDI driver:
1021        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
1022    
1023      * audio driver:
1024        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
1025          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
1026          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
1027    
1028      * Gigasampler format engine:
1029        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
1030          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
1031          voice starvation for some gigs)
1032        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
1033        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
1034          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
1035          command
1036        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
1037        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
1038        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
1039          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
1040          even if sustain is 100%
1041        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
1042          noises or crashes
1043        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1044        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
1045          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
1046        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
1047          instead of a fix value
1048        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
1049          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
1050          changed
1051    
1052      * LSCP server:
1053        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
1054          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
1055        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
1056          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
1057        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
1058          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
1059          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
1060          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
1061        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
1062          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
1063          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
1064          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
1065          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
1066          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
1067          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
1068          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
1069        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
1070          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1071          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1072        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1073          settings
1074        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
1075          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
1076          (fixes #57)
1077    
1078      * Bug fixes:
1079        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
1080        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
1081          channel audio output device"
1082        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
1083          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
1084        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
1085          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1086          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1087        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1088          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1089          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1090        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1091        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1092          channel changes
1093        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1094          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1095        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1096          an audio output device
1097        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
