3      * general changes:
4        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
5          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
6          (MIDI bank MSB, MIDI bank LSB, MIDI program) triplets with arbitrary
7          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
8          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
9          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
10          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
11          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
12          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
13          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
14          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
15          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
16          the instrument files
17    
18      * MIDI driver:
19        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
20    
21      * Gigasampler format engine:
22        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
23          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
24          voice starvation for some gigs)
25    
26      * Bug fixes:
27        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
28    
29    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
30    
31      * packaging changes:
32        - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
33          to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
34          to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
35        - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
36          applications to link against liblinuxsampler
37        - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
38          (Doxygen required)
39        - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
40          implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
41          di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
42          with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
43          configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
44        - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
45          provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
46        - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
47          messages
48        - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
49          MIDI drivers
50        - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
51          (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
52    
53      * Gigasampler format engine:
54        - extensive synthesis optimization
55          (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
56          prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
57          each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
58          constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
59          linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
60          --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
61        - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
62        - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
63          following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
64          controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
65          curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
66          cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
67        - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
68        - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
69        - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
70          which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
71        - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
72          accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
73          ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
74          time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
75        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
76        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
77        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
78          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
79          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
80          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
81        - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
82          parameter) and crossfade
83        - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
84          parameter
85        - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
86          messages
87        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
88          instead of the wave chunk
89        - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
90          not equal to a power of two
91        - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
92          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
93          and lowpass turbo.
94        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
95          16 bits anymore
96        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
97          aftertouch)
98        - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
99          amplifying from 0)
100    
101      * LSCP server:
102        - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
103        - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
104          network activity (fixes bug #26)
105        - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
106          (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
107    
108      * audio driver:
109        - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
110    
111      * MIDI driver:
112        - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
113          messages several times instead of once
114        - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
115          for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
116        - added checks for bad MIDI data
117    
118      * linuxsampler application:
119        - show available sampler engine types on startup
120    
121      * general changes:
122        - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
123          LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
124          fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
125          introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
126          (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
127          --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
128          processing of muted channels.
129        - support for sostenuto pedal
130        - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
131          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
132          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
133        - fixed some memory management errors
134        - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
135          LSCP commands were executed
136        - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
137          sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
138    
139    Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
140    
141      * packaging changes:
142        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
143    
144      * Gigasampler format engine:
145        - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
146          disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
147        - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
148          for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
149          stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
150          about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
151          appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
152    
153    Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
154    
155    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
156      - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X      - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
157        (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)        (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
# Line 15  Version CVS HEAD (?) Line 167  Version CVS HEAD (?)
167      - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,      - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
168        note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of        note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
169        note-off velocity.        note-off velocity.
170      - revised voice stealing (fixes crash caused by voice stealing)      - revised voice stealing
171          (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
172      - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change      - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
173        - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
174          instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
175          (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
176          this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
177        - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
178          (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
179          resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
180        - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
181          instrument or audio output device change
182

187    
188      * linuxsampler application:
