File size: 29750 byte(s)
* InstrumentsDB on Windows now works in both standalone and VST mode
* DB is stored in %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db
* removed stat() implementation as mingw already provides it

1 Version CVS HEAD (?)
2
3 * packaging changes:
4 - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
5 causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
6 "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
7 (patch by Alexis Ballier)
8 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
9 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
10 - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
11 - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
12 - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
13 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
14 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
15 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
16 directory of liblinuxsampler dll
17 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
18
19 * general changes:
20 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
21 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
22 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
23 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
24 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
25 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
26 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
27 unnecessarily long after an update
28 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
29 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
30 of gigedit)
31 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
32 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
33 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
34 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
35 implementation, which is usually faster)
36 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
37 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
38 VST plugin
39 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
40 only when there are actual changes
41 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
42 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
43 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
44 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
45 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
46 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
47 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
48 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
49 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
50 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
51 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
52 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
53 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
54 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
55 model more strictly
56 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
57
58 * audio driver:
59 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
60 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
61 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
62 opposed to the LSCP specs
63 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
64 reflected the wrong value
65 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
66 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
67 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
68 jack_client_new
69 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
70 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
71 previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
72 (fixes #117)
73 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
74 win64)
75 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
76 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
77 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
78 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
79 energyXT)
80
81 * MIDI driver:
82 - added JACK MIDI driver
83 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
84 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
85 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
86 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
87 CoreMidi or AU
88 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
89
90 * instruments database:
91 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
92 to the instruments database
93 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
94 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
95 in the instruments database
96 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
97 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
98 instrument database compilable
99 - added instrument database support on Windows
100 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
101 the instruments DB file is located in
102 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
103 databases for each windows user
104
105 * Gigasampler format engine:
106 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
107 while notes were playing
108 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
109 isn't running
110 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
111 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
112 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
113 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
114 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
115 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
116 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
117 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
118 on)
119 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
120 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
121 be played
122 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
123 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
124 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
125 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
126 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
127 defined for the sampler
128 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
129 audio thread isn't running
130 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
131 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
132 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
133 sampler engine anymore
134 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
135 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
136 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
137 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
138 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
139 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
140 instrument-level gig parameters
141 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
142 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
143 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
144 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
145 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
146 note was silent
147
148 * LSCP server:
149 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
150 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
151 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
152 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
153 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
154 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
155 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
156 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
157 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
158 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
159 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
160 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
161 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
162 was incorrect
163 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
164 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
165 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
166 be triggered respectively
167 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
168 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
169 which will be triggered respectively
170 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
171 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
172 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
173 - hard close of all sockets on exit
174 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
175 driver
176
177 * Bug fixes:
178 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
179 to start instrument loading after another channel
180 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
181 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
182 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
183 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
184 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
185 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
186 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
187 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
188 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
189 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
190 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
191 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
192 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
193 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
194 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
195 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
196 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
197 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
198 plugin was unloaded
199 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
200 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
201
202
203 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
204
205 * packaging changes:
206 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
207 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
208 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
209 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
210
211 * general changes:
212 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
213 editor closed
214 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
215 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
216 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
217 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
218 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
219 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
220 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
221 bugs.
222 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
223 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
224 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
225 unaligned 32bit read and shift
226 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
227 output via ASIO)
228 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
229 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
230 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
231 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
232
233 * AUDIO driver:
234 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
235
236 * MIDI driver:
237 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
238
239 * LSCP server:
240 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
241 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
242 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
243 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
244 apostrophes as well
245 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
246 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
247 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
248 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
249 running on
250
251 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
252
253 * packaging changes:
254 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
255 API header files anymore
256 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
257 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
258 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
259 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
260 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
261 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
262 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
263 parameters
264 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
265 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
266 are now in global_private.h
267 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
268 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
269 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
270
271 * general changes:
272 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
273 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
274 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
275 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
276 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
277 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
278 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
279 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
280 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
281 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
282 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
283 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
284 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
285 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
286 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
287 drumkits is possible
288 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
289 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
290 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
291 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
292 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
293 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
294 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
295 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
296 controllers
297 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
298 - Implemented new, improved notification system
299 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
300 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
301 - implemented instruments database
302 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
303 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
304 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
305 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
306 startup, added a new LSCP command:
307 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
308 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
309 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
310 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
311 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
312 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
313 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
314 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
315 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
316 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
317 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
318 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
319 setting their own policy and priority
320 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
321 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
322 its output
323 - fixed some minor memory leaks
324 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
325 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
326 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
327 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
328 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
329
330 * MIDI driver:
331 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
332
333 * audio driver:
334 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
335 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
336 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
337
338 * Gigasampler format engine:
339 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
340 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
341 voice starvation for some gigs)
342 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
343 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
344 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
345 command
346 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
347 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
348 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
349 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
350 even if sustain is 100%
351 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
352 noises or crashes
353 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
354 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
355 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
356 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
357 instead of a fix value
358 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
359 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
360 changed
361
362 * LSCP server:
363 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
364 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
365 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
366 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
367 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
368 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
369 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
370 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
371 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
372 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
373 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
374 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
375 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
376 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
377 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
378 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
379 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
380 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
381 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
382 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
383 settings
384 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
385 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
386 (fixes #57)
387
388 * Bug fixes:
389 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
390 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
391 channel audio output device"
392 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
393 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
394 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
395 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
396 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
397 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
398 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
399 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
400 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
401 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
402 channel changes
403 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
404 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
405 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
406 an audio output device
407 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
408
409 * test cases:
410 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
411
412 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
413
414 * packaging changes:
415 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
416 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
417 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
418 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
419 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
420 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
421 (Doxygen required)
422 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
423 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
424 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
425 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
426 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
427 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
428 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
429 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
430 messages
431 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
432 MIDI drivers
433 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
434 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
435
436 * Gigasampler format engine:
437 - extensive synthesis optimization
438 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
439 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
440 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
441 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
442 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
443 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
444 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
445 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
446 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
447 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
448 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
449 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
450 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
451 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
452 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
453 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
454 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
455 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
456 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
457 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
458 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
459 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
460 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
461 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
462 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
463 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
464 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
465 parameter) and crossfade
466 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
467 parameter
468 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
469 messages
470 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
471 instead of the wave chunk
472 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
473 not equal to a power of two
474 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
475 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
476 and lowpass turbo.
477 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
478 16 bits anymore
479 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
480 aftertouch)
481 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
482 amplifying from 0)
483
484 * LSCP server:
485 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
486 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
487 network activity (fixes bug #26)
488 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
489 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
490
491 * audio driver:
492 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
493
494 * MIDI driver:
495 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
496 messages several times instead of once
497 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
498 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
499 - added checks for bad MIDI data
500
501 * linuxsampler application:
502 - show available sampler engine types on startup
503
504 * general changes:
505 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
506 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
507 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
508 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
509 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
510 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
511 processing of muted channels.
512 - support for sostenuto pedal
513 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
514 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
515 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
516 - fixed some memory management errors
517 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
518 LSCP commands were executed
519 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
520 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
521
522 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
523
524 * packaging changes:
525 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
526
527 * Gigasampler format engine:
528 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
529 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
530 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
531 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
532 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
533 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
534 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
535
536 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
537
538 * packaging changes:
539 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
540 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
541 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
542 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
543 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
544 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
545 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
546
547 * Gigasampler format engine:
548 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
549 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
550 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
551 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
552 note-off velocity.
553 - revised voice stealing
554 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
555 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
556 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
557 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
558 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
559 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
560 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
561 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
562 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
563 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
564 instrument or audio output device change
565
566 * LSCP server:
567 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
568 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
569 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
570
571 * linuxsampler application:
572 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
573 default IP address and port of LSCP server
574
575 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
576
577 * initial release
