1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3      * packaging changes:
4        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
6        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
7        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
8          doing "make dist"
9        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
10        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
11        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
12        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
13        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
14          directories are separate
15        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
16          configure
17        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
18        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
19        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
20        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
21          gcc 4.7 and C++11
22        - modernized configure script
23        - fixed linkage error when building with
24          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
25        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
26        - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES
27    
28      * general changes:
29        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
30          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
31        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
32          respective profiling code is currently broken
33        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
34          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
35          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
36          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
37        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
38        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
39        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
40          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
41          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
42          effect type is)
43        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
44          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
45          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
46          effect type is)
47        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
48        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
49          (as suggested by Alex Stone)

54          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
55          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
56          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
57          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
58          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
59        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
60        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
61        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
62        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
63        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
64        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
65          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
66          series (#182)
67        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
68          used it everywhere appropriate
69        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
70        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
71          SysEx way).
72    
73      * Gigasampler format engine:
74        - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
75        - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
76          dimension zones is not a power of two
77        - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
78          key
79        - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
80        - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
81        - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
82          filter parameters in each sub fragment)
83        - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
84          min value
85        - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
86          doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
87        - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
88

262          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
263        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
264        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
265          64 bit Windows
266        - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
267          stereo

277        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
278        - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present

281        - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
282        - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
283          port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.

285          and event
286        - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin

300        - MME: removed compiler warning
301        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
302          which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
303          to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
304        - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
305          the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
306          (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
307        - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
308        - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error

321          RT context.
322        - ASIO driver: removed compiler warnings
323    
324      * LSCP server:
325        - added support for sending MIDI CC messages via LSCP command

361      * Bug fixes:
362        - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
363        - minor valgrind fixes
364        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
365          channel to a different engine type
366        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
367          type while an instrument load was in progress
368        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
369          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
370        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
371          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
372        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
373          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
374        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
375        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
376          it caused hanging threads on Windows
377        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
378          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
379        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
380          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
381          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
382          instrument was completely reloaded again.
383        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
384          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
385          project, slightly adjusted)
386        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
387          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

396        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
397        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
398          introduced in previous fix)
399        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
400          playing a note in a key group
401        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
402          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
403        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
404          crashes and noise on such transitions).
405    
406    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
407    
408      * packaging changes:
409        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
410          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
411          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
412          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
413        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
414        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
415        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
416        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
417        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
418        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
419        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
420        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
421          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
422          directory above)
423        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
424        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
425        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
426        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
427    
428      * general changes:
429        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
430          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
431          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
432        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
433          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
434        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
435        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
436          unnecessarily long after an update
437        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
438          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
439          of gigedit)
440        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
441        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
442        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
443          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
444          implementation, which is usually faster)
445        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
446        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
447          VST plugin
448        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
449          only when there are actual changes
450        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
451          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
452        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
453        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
454        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
455          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
456          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
457        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
458          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
459        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
460          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
461          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
462          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
463        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
464          model more strictly
465        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
466        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
467          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
468          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
469    
470      * audio driver:
471        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
472          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
473        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
474          opposed to the LSCP specs
475        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
476          reflected the wrong value
477        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
478        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
479        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
480          jack_client_new
481        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
482        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
483          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
484          (fixes #117)
485        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
486          win64)
487        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
488        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
489        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
490        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
491          energyXT)
492        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
493          stereo
494        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
495          stored in the plugin state
496        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
497          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
498          (if available)
499        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
500          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
501    
502      * MIDI driver:
503        - added JACK MIDI driver
504        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
505          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
506          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
507        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
508          CoreMidi or AU
509        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
510        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
511          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
512        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
513    
514      * instruments database:
515        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
516          to the instruments database
517        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
518        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
519          in the instruments database
520          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
521        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
522          instrument database compilable
523        - added instrument database support on Windows
524          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
525          the instruments DB file is located in
526          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
527          databases for each windows user
528          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
529          and then creates an empty DB
530        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
531    
532      * Gigasampler format engine:
533        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
534          while notes were playing
535        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
536          isn't running
537        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
538          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
539        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
540          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
541        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
542          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
543          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
544          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
545          on)
546        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
547          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
548          be played
549        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
550          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
551          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
552          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
553          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
554          defined for the sampler
555        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
556          audio thread isn't running
557        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
558        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
559          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
560          sampler engine anymore
561        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
562          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
563        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
564          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
565          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
566        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
567          instrument-level gig parameters
568        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
569        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
570        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
571        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
572        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
573          note was silent
574        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
575          same time a new instrument was loading
576    
577      * LSCP server:
578        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
579          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
580          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
581        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
582          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
583          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
584        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
585          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
586        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
587          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
588        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
589          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
590        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
591          was incorrect
592        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
593        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
594          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
595          be triggered respectively
596        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
597          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
598          which will be triggered respectively
599        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
600          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
601        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
602        - hard close of all sockets on exit
603        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
604          driver
605    
606      * Bug fixes:
607        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
608          to start instrument loading after another channel
609        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
610          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
611        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
612          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
613        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
614        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
615          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
616          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
617          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
618          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
619        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
620        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
621        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
622          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
623        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
624        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
625          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
626        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
627          plugin was unloaded
628        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
629          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
630        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
631          Windows
632    
633    
634    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
635    
636      * packaging changes:
637        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
638        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
639          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
640        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
641    
642      * general changes:
643        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
644          editor closed
645        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
646          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
647          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
648          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
649        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
650          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
651          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
652          bugs.
653        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
654          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
655          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
656          unaligned 32bit read and shift
657        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
658          output via ASIO)
659        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
660        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
661          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
662          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
663    
664      * AUDIO driver:
665        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
666    
667      * MIDI driver:
668        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
669    
670      * LSCP server:
671        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
672          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
673          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
674        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
675          apostrophes as well
676        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
677          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
678          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
679          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
680          running on
681    
682    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
683    
684      * packaging changes:
685        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
686          API header files anymore
687        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
688          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
689        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
690          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
691          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
692          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
693        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
694          parameters
695        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
696          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
697          are now in global_private.h
698        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
699        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
700        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
701    
702    * general changes:    * general changes:
703      - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a      - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a

719        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
720          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
721        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
722          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
723          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
724        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
725          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
726          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
727          controllers
728        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
729        - Implemented new, improved notification system
730        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
731          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
732        - implemented instruments database
733        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
734        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
735          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
736          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
737          startup, added a new LSCP command:
738          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
739          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
740          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
741          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
742        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
743          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
744          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
745          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
746        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
747          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
748          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
749          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
750          setting their own policy and priority
751        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
752          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
753          its output
754        - fixed some minor memory leaks
755        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
756          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
757        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
758          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
759        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
760    
761    * MIDI driver:    * MIDI driver:
762      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages      - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
763    
764      * audio driver:
765        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
766          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
767          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
768    
769    * Gigasampler format engine:    * Gigasampler format engine:
770      - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice      - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
771        die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and        die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
772        voice starvation for some gigs)        voice starvation for some gigs)
773        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
774        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
775          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
776          command
777        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
778        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
779        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
780          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
781          even if sustain is 100%
782        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
783          noises or crashes
784        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
785        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
786          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
787        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
788          instead of a fix value
789        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
790          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
791          changed
792    
793      * LSCP server:
794        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
795          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
796        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
797          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
798        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
799          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
800          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
801          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
802        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
803          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
804          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
805          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
806          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
807          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
808          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
809          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
810        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
811          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
812          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
813        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
814          settings
815        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
816          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
817          (fixes #57)
818    
819    * Bug fixes:    * Bug fixes:
820      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)      - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
821        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
822          channel audio output device"
823        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
824          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
825        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
826          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
827          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
828        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
829          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
830          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
831        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
832        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
833          channel changes
834        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
835          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
836        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
837          an audio output device
838        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
839    
840      * test cases:
841        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
