# 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        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
6        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
7          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
8        - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
9        - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
10        - sfz parser: allow missing space between header and opcode
11    
12      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
13        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
14          cutoff settings.
15        - Got rid of resembling an ancient GSt misbehavior which did not pitch at
16          all if an up-pitch of more than 40 semi tones was requested (I don't
17          think there is any stock gig sound that requires this behavior to
18          resemble its original sound).
19        - Added support for controlling whether the individual EGADSR stages may
20          be aborted (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4
21          format).
22    
23      * general changes:
24        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
25        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
26        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
27          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
28        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
29          position within a list.
30        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
31          a raw element pointer.
32        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
33          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
34          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
35          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
36        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
37          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
38          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
39          script features.
40        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
41          (CC #64) events.
42        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
43          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
44        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
45          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
46          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
47        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
48          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
49        - Added new C++ API method
50          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
51        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
52          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
53        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
54        - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
55        - Revised fundamental C++ classes "Thread", "Mutex" and "Condition" which
56          fixes potential undefined behavior.
57        - Fixed Note object leak when triggering notes on keys which did not
58          have a valid sample mapped (fixes bug #252).
59        - Fixed compilation errors when compiling with CONFIG_DEVMODE enabled.
60    
61      * packaging changes:
62        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
63          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
64        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
65          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
66        - Debian: Fixed packaging error about invalid "Source-Version"
67          substitution variable.
68        - Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch".
69    
70      * Real-time instrument scripts:
71        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
72        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
73          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
74          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
75        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
76          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
77          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
78          microseconds.
79        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
80          potentially causing undefined behavior.
81        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
82          variable.
83        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
84          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
85          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
86        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
87        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
88          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
89          script editor applications.
90        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
91        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
92          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
93          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
94        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
95          editor.
96        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
97          like "on note end on".
98        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
99        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
100        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
101        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
102        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
103        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
104        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
105          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
106          "event_status()" function.
107        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
108          and ".not.".
109        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
110          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
111        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
112        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
113          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
114          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
115        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
116        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
117        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
118        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
119        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
120        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
121        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
122        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
123          associative instead of left (to right).
124        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
125          (i.e. "if end if").
126        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
127        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
128        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
129        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
130        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
131          handled by the script parser).
132        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
133        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
134        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".
135        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_CONTROLLER".

138        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
139        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
140        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
141          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
142          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
143          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
144          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
145          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
146        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
147        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
148        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
149        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
150        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
151          was loaded.
152        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
153          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
154          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
155          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
156        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
157          threatening scripts.
158        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
159        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
160          initializer list to an array variable.
161        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
162        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".

165        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_depth()".
166        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
167        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_time()".
168        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_time()".
169        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_in()".
170        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_out()".
171        - Fixed acceptance of wrong data type of parameters passed to built-in
172          script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
173          "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
174          "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
175          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
176        - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
177          of its possible parameter selections.
178        - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
179          of its possible parameter selections.
180        - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
181        - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
182        - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
183          built-in function "ignore_controller()".
184        - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
185        - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
186        - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
187          intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
188          "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
189          assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
190          timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
191          changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
192          relevant).
193         - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
194         - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
195         - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".
196         - NKSP Fix: Never suspend "init" event handlers.
197         - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
198           available for gig format engine).
199         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
200         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
201         - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
202         - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
203         - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
204           offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
205           sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
206         - Built-in array variable %KEY_DOWN[] is now a read-only variable.
207         - Built-in variable $EVENT_NOTE is now a read-only variable.
208         - Built-in variable $EVENT_VELOCITY is now a read-only variable.
209         - built-in "play_note()" function now accepts -2 for its fourth argument
210           (note duration) which means the life time of the note shall be sticked
211           to the requested note number of argument 1.
212         - Fix: built-in "play_note()" function now returns 0 as result value if
213           -1 was passed for its fourth argument (note duration) and the respective
214           parent note is already gone.
215        - Implemented built-in script function "change_play_pos()".
216        - NKSP language: Added support for user declared const array variables.
217        - NKSP language: Raise parser warning if array variable is accessed with
218          an index that exceeds the array's size.
219        - NKSP language fix: Unknown characters were not handled correctly.
220        - NKSP language: Added support for "synchronized .. end synchronized"
221          code blocks.
222        - Implemented built-in script function "abort()" which allows to abort
223          another script handler by passing its callback ID.
224        - Fixed potential memory access bug and potential undefined behavior of
225          "init" event handlers.
226        - Print a time stamp along to each call of built-in function "message()".
227        - ScriptVM API: Added VMParserContext::preprocessorComments() which allows
228          to retrieve all code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor.
229        - Added built-in script function "fork()".
230        - Added built-in array variable %NKSP_CALLBACK_CHILD_ID[].
231        - Added built-in variable $NKSP_CALLBACK_PARENT_ID.
232        - Fixed potential crash when accessing dynamic built-in array variables.
233        - Added built-in script function "callback_status()".
234        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_TERMINATED.
235        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_QUEUE.
236        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_RUNNING.
237        - Removed max. value limitation of built-in functions "change_attack()",
238          "change_decay()" and "change_release()" to i.e. allow passing 2000000
239          for doubling the respective time.
240        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: Fixed app termination due
241          to a lexer start condition stack underrun.
242        - NKSP preprocessor: Fixed wrong behavior on nested USE_CODE_IF() and
243          USE_CODE_IF_NOT() preprocessor statements.
244        - NKSP: Added built-in preprocessor condition NKSP_NO_MESSAGE, which
245          can be set to disable all subsequent built-in "message()" function calls
246          on preprocessor level.
247        - Implemented built-in script function "change_sustain()".
248        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: catch all fatal lexer errors,
249          to avoid the editor app to crash on ill-formed text input.
250        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_time()".
251        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_curve()".
252    
253      * Instruments DB:
254        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
255          undefined behavior.
256        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
257        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
258          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
259        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
260        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
261        - Fixed undefined DB transaction behavior.
262

266        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
267        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
268        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
269        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
270          doing "make dist"
271        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
272        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
273        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
274        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
275        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
276          directories are separate
277        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
278          configure
279        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
280        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
281        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
282        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
283          gcc 4.7 and C++11
284        - modernized configure script
285        - fixed linkage error when building with
286          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
287        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2

297        - support building with older jack versions
298        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
299        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
300          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
301          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
302    
303      * general changes:
304        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
305          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
306        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
307          respective profiling code is currently broken
308        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
309          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
310          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
311          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
312        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
313        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
314        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
315          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
316          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
317          effect type is)
318        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
319          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
320          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
321          effect type is)
322        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
323        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
324          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
325        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
326        - experimental support for per voice equalization
327        - added command line option --exec-after-init
328        - Introduced new C++ API method:
329          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
330          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
331          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
332          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
333          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
334        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
335        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
336        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
337        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
338        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
339        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
340          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
341          series (#182)
342        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
343          used it everywhere appropriate
344        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
345        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
346          SysEx way).
347        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
348          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
349          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
350        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
351        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
352          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
353          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
354          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
355          backward compatibility).
356        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
357          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
358        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
359        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
360          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
361        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
362        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
363        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
364        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
365          polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
366          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
367          used so far).

572          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
573        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
574        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on

630        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
631        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
632          parameter "AUTO_BIND").

696        - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
697        - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
698          automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
699          as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command
700          line.
701

745        - Built-in script functions "ignore_event()", "note_off()" and
746          "gig_set_dim_zone()" now also accept an array of event IDs as argument
747          (i.e. return value of new script function "by_marks()").
748        - Pass/preserve polyphonic variable data from respective "note" event
749          handler to "release" event handler.
750        - Fixed crash when using built-in script function "by_marks()".
751    
752      * Bug fixes:
753        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
754        - minor valgrind fixes
755        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
756          channel to a different engine type
757        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
758          type while an instrument load was in progress
759        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
760          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
761        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
762          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
763        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
764          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
765        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
766        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
767          it caused hanging threads on Windows
768        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
769          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
770        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
771          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
772          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
773          instrument was completely reloaded again.
774        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
775          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
776          project, slightly adjusted)
777        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
778          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
779        - fixed bug #162
780        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
781          multiple paths (#165)

787        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
788        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
789          introduced in previous fix)
790        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
791          playing a note in a key group
792        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
793          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
794        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
795          crashes and noise on such transitions).
796        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
797          (fixes #208)
798        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
799          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
800          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
801          shell's auto completion feature).
802        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
803          after each other (fixes #231).
804    
805    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
806    
807      * packaging changes:
808        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
809          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
810          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
811          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
812        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
813        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
814        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
815        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
816        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
817        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
818        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
819        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
820          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
821          directory above)
822        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
823        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
824        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
825        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
826    
827      * general changes:
828        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
829          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
830          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
831        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
832          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
833        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
834        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
835          unnecessarily long after an update
836        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
837          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
838          of gigedit)
839        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
840        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
841        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
842          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
843          implementation, which is usually faster)
844        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
845        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
846          VST plugin
847        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
848          only when there are actual changes
849        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
850          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
851        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
852        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
853        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
854          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
855          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
856        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
857          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
858        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
859          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
860          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
861          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
862        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
863          model more strictly
864        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
865        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
866          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
867          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
868        - updated linuxsampler man page
869    
870      * audio driver:
871        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
872          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
873        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
874          opposed to the LSCP specs
875        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
876          reflected the wrong value
877        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
878        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
879        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
880          jack_client_new
881        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
882        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
883          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
884          (fixes #117)
885        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
886          win64)
887        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
888        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
889        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
890        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
891          energyXT)
892        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
893          stereo
894        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
895          stored in the plugin state
896        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
897          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
898          (if available)
899        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
900          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
901    
902      * MIDI driver:
903        - added JACK MIDI driver
904        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
905          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
906          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
907        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
908          CoreMidi or AU
909        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
910        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
911          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
912        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
913    
914      * instruments database:
915        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
916          to the instruments database
917        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
918        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
919          in the instruments database
920          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
921        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
922          instrument database compilable
923        - added instrument database support on Windows
924          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
925          the instruments DB file is located in
926          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
927          databases for each windows user
928          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
929          and then creates an empty DB
930        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
931    
932      * Gigasampler format engine:
933        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
934          while notes were playing
935        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
936          isn't running
937        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
938          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
939        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
940          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
941        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
942          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
943          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
944          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
945          on)
946        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
947          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
948          be played
949        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
950          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
951          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
952          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
953          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
954          defined for the sampler
955        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
956          audio thread isn't running
957        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
958        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
959          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
960          sampler engine anymore
961        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
962          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
963        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
964          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
965          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
966        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
967          instrument-level gig parameters
968        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
969        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
970        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
971        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
972        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
973          note was silent
974        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
975          same time a new instrument was loading
976    
977      * LSCP server:
978        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
979          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
980          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
981        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
982          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
983          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
984        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
985          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
986        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
987          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
988        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
989          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
990        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
991          was incorrect
992        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
993        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
994          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
995          be triggered respectively
996        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
997          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
998          which will be triggered respectively
999        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
1000          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
1001        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
1002        - hard close of all sockets on exit
1003        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
1004          driver
1005    
1006      * Bug fixes:
1007        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
1008          to start instrument loading after another channel
1009        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
1010          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
1011        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
1012          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
1013        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
1014        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
1015          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
1016          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1017          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
1018          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1019        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
1020        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
1021        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
1022          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
1023        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
1024        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
1025          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
1026        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
1027          plugin was unloaded
1028        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
1029          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
1030        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
1031          Windows
1032    
1033    
1034    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
1035    
1036      * packaging changes:
1037        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
1038        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
1039          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
1040        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
1041    
1042      * general changes:
1043        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
1044          editor closed
1045        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
1046          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
1047          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
1048          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
1049        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
1050          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
1051          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
1052          bugs.
1053        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
1054          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
1055          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
1056          unaligned 32bit read and shift
1057        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
1058          output via ASIO)
1059        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
1060        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
1061          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1062          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
1063    
1064      * AUDIO driver:
1065        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
1066    
1067      * MIDI driver:
1068        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
1069    
1070      * LSCP server:
1071        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1072          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1073          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1074        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1075          apostrophes as well
1076        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1077          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1078          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1079          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
1080          running on
1081    
1082    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
1083    
1084      * packaging changes:
1085        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
1086          API header files anymore
1087        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
1088          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
1089        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
1090          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
1091          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
1092          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1093        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
1094          parameters
1095        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
1096          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
1097          are now in global_private.h
1098        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
1099        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
1100        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
1101    
1102      * general changes:
1103        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
1104          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
1105          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
1106          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
1107          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
1108          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
1109          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
1110          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
1111          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
1112          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
1113          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
1114          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
1115          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
1116          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
1117          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
1118          drumkits is possible
1119        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
1120          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
1121        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
1122          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
1123          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
1124        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
1125          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
1126          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
1127          controllers
1128        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
1129        - Implemented new, improved notification system
1130        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
1131          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1132        - implemented instruments database
1133        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
1134        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
1135          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
1136          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
1137          startup, added a new LSCP command:
1138          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
1139          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
1140          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
1141          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
1142        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
1143          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
1144          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
1145          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
1146        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
1147          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
1148          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
1149          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
1150          setting their own policy and priority
1151        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
1152          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
1153          its output
1154        - fixed some minor memory leaks
1155        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
1156          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
1157        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
1158          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
1159        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
1160    
1161      * MIDI driver:
1162        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
1163    
1164      * audio driver:
1165        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
1166          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
1167          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
1168    
1169      * Gigasampler format engine:
1170        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
1171          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
1172          voice starvation for some gigs)
1173        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
1174        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
1175          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
1176          command
1177        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
1178        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
1179        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
1180          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
1181          even if sustain is 100%
1182        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
1183          noises or crashes
1184        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1185        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
1186          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
1187        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
1188          instead of a fix value
1189        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
1190          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
1191          changed
1192    
1193      * LSCP server:
1194        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
1195          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
1196        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
1197          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
1198        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
1199          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
1200          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
1201          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
1202        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
1203          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
1204          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
1205          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
1206          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
1207          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
1208          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
1209          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
1210        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
1211          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1212          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1213        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1214          settings
1215        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
1216          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
1217          (fixes #57)
1218    
1219      * Bug fixes:
1220        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
1221        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
1222          channel audio output device"
1223        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
1224          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
1225        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
1226          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1227          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1228        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1229          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1230          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1231        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1232        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1233          channel changes
1234        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1235          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1236        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1237          an audio output device
1238        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
1239    
1240      * test cases:
1241        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
1242
