 Version CVS HEAD (?)
 
+  * general changes:
+    - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
+      flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
+      (MIDI bank MSB, MIDI bank LSB, MIDI program) triplets with arbitrary
+      (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
+      loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
+      messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
+      strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
+      instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
+      quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
+      respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
+      global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
+      dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
+      the instrument files
+
+  * MIDI driver:
+    - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
+
+  * Gigasampler format engine:
+    - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
+      die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
+      voice starvation for some gigs)
+
+  * Bug fixes:
+    - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)

   * packaging changes:
+    - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
+      to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
+      to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
     - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
       applications to link against liblinuxsampler
     - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
