|
* packaging changes: |
| 4 |
|
- config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's |
| 5 |
|
API header files anymore |
| 6 |
|
- only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to |
| 7 |
|
the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in) |
| 8 |
|
- added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now |
| 9 |
|
capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore |
| 10 |
|
to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for |
| 11 |
|
OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
| 12 |
|
- fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script |
| 13 |
|
parameters |
| 14 |
|
- global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the |
| 15 |
|
C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions |
| 16 |
|
are now in global_private.h |
| 17 |
|
- atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore |
| 18 |
|
- no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files |
| 19 |
|
- fixed warnings in API doc generation |
| 20 |
|
|
| 21 |
|
* general changes: |
| 22 |
|
- replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a |
| 23 |
|
flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary |
| 24 |
|
(MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary |
| 25 |
|
(engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be |
| 26 |
|
loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change |
| 27 |
|
messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time |
| 28 |
|
strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the |
| 29 |
|
instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch |
| 30 |
|
quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the |
| 31 |
|
respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a |
| 32 |
|
global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume |
| 33 |
|
dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify |
| 34 |
|
the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such |
| 35 |
|
MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually |
| 36 |
|
a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and |
| 37 |
|
drumkits is possible |
| 38 |
|
- new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices, |
| 39 |
|
MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume. |
| 40 |
|
- sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background |
| 41 |
|
due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a |
| 42 |
|
dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO |
| 43 |
|
- added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio |
| 44 |
|
output channels for being processed by external effect processors |
| 45 |
|
(i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI |
| 46 |
|
controllers |
| 47 |
|
- global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime |
| 48 |
|
- Implemented new, improved notification system |
| 49 |
|
- fixed compilation errors regarding OSX |
| 50 |
|
(patch by Toshi Nagata) |
| 51 |
|
- implemented instruments database |
| 52 |
|
- added support for escape sequences to the instruments database |
| 53 |
|
- added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing |
| 54 |
|
within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins), |
| 55 |
|
you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on |
| 56 |
|
startup, added a new LSCP command: |
| 57 |
|
"EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>" |
| 58 |
|
to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the |
| 59 |
|
given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile |
| 60 |
|
time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir |
| 61 |
|
- added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted |
| 62 |
|
in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing |
| 63 |
|
without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions |
| 64 |
|
wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s) |
| 65 |
|
- fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling |
| 66 |
|
policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for |
| 67 |
|
thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT |
| 68 |
|
threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of |
| 69 |
|
setting their own policy and priority |
| 70 |
|
- minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the |
| 71 |
|
main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish |
| 72 |
|
its output |
| 73 |
|
- fixed some minor memory leaks |
| 74 |
|
- reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for |
| 75 |
|
enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2) |
| 76 |
|
- minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC |
| 77 |
|
register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime) |
| 78 |
|
- POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden |
| 79 |
|
|
| 80 |
|
* MIDI driver: |
| 81 |
|
- dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages |
| 82 |
|
|
| 83 |
|
* audio driver: |
| 84 |
|
- the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct |
| 85 |
|
parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card |
| 86 |
|
(patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended) |
| 87 |
|
|
| 88 |
|
* Gigasampler format engine: |
| 89 |
|
- if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice |
| 90 |
|
die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and |
| 91 |
|
voice starvation for some gigs) |
| 92 |
|
- playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading |
| 93 |
|
- all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep |
| 94 |
|
playing with the old instrument until they get a note off |
| 95 |
|
command |
| 96 |
|
- EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash |
| 97 |
|
- handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB) |
| 98 |
|
- EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level |
| 99 |
|
above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase |
| 100 |
|
even if sustain is 100% |
| 101 |
|
- more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause |
| 102 |
|
noises or crashes |
| 103 |
|
- minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata) |
| 104 |
|
- fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was |
| 105 |
|
supplied to the configure script (fixes #46) |
| 106 |
|
- disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS |
| 107 |
|
instead of a fix value |
| 108 |
|
- behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode), |
| 109 |
|
127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really |
| 110 |
|
changed |
| 111 |
|
|
| 112 |
|
* LSCP server: |
| 113 |
|
- fixed compile time error for old Bison versions |
| 114 |
|
(i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata) |
| 115 |
|
- parser now supports extended ASCII character set |
| 116 |
|
(up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents) |
| 117 |
|
- filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape |
| 118 |
|
sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r, |
| 119 |
|
\f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII |
| 120 |
|
code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24) |
| 121 |
|
- the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at |
| 122 |
|
least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description): |
| 123 |
|
"ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT", |
| 124 |
|
"SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND", |
| 125 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME", |
| 126 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME", |
| 127 |
|
"SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS", |
| 128 |
|
"FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES" |
| 129 |
|
- returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error |
| 130 |
|
occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible |
| 131 |
|
character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities) |
| 132 |
|
- made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale |
| 133 |
|
settings |
| 134 |
|
- bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists |
| 135 |
|
of strings were treated as being one string containing commas |
| 136 |
|
(fixes #57) |
| 137 |
|
|
| 138 |
|
* Bug fixes: |
| 139 |
|
- fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39) |
| 140 |
|
- another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set |
| 141 |
|
channel audio output device" |
| 142 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine |
| 143 |
|
on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device |
| 144 |
|
- fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI |
| 145 |
|
device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal |
| 146 |
|
to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected. |
| 147 |
|
- The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering |
| 148 |
|
the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for |
| 149 |
|
unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE). |
| 150 |
|
- The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect. |
| 151 |
|
- notification events were not been sent for some sampler |
| 152 |
|
channel changes |
| 153 |
|
- added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed |
| 154 |
|
audio output channels and MIDI input ports |
| 155 |
|
- the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying |
| 156 |
|
an audio output device |
| 157 |
|
- files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded |
| 158 |
|
|
| 159 |
