3 * plugin changes:
4 - LV2 Persist + Files support (patch by David Robillard)
5
6 * packaging changes:
7 - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
8 - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
9 - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
10 - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
11 doing "make dist"
12 - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
13 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
14 - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
15 - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
16 - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
17 directories are separate
18 - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
19 configure
20 - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
21
22 * general changes:
23 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
24 the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
25 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
26 respective profiling code is currently broken

35 the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
36 effect type is)
37 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
38 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39 the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40 effect type is)

182 stereo
183 - VST: made it possible to build the VST plugin for Mac
184 - AU: link AU plugin dynamically if --disable-shared isn't

187 * MIDI driver:
188 - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
189 the ALSA sequencer client name

237 channel to a different engine type
238 - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
239 type while an instrument load was in progress
240 - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
241 a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
242 - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
243 refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded

251
252 Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
253
254 * packaging changes:
255 - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
256 causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
257 "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
258 (patch by Alexis Ballier)
259 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
260 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
261 - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
262 - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
263 - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
264 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
265 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
266 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
267 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
268 directory above)
269 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
270 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
271 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
272 - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
273
274 * general changes:
275 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
276 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
277 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
278 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
279 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
280 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
281 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
282 unnecessarily long after an update
283 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
284 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
285 of gigedit)
286 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
287 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
288 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
289 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
290 implementation, which is usually faster)
291 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
292 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
293 VST plugin
294 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
295 only when there are actual changes
296 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
297 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
298 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
299 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
300 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
301 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
302 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
303 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
304 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
305 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
306 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
307 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
308 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
309 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
310 model more strictly
311 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
312 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
313 when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
314 gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
315
316 * audio driver:
317 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
318 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
319 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
320 opposed to the LSCP specs
321 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
322 reflected the wrong value
323 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
324 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
325 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
326 jack_client_new
327 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
328 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
329 previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
330 (fixes #117)
331 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
332 win64)
333 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
334 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
335 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
336 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
337 energyXT)
338 - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
339 stereo
340 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
341 stored in the plugin state
342 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
343 AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
344 (if available)
345 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
346 exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
347
348 * MIDI driver:
349 - added JACK MIDI driver
350 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
351 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
352 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
353 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
354 CoreMidi or AU
355 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
356 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
357 moving the logic to a non-RT thread
358 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
359
360 * instruments database:
361 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
362 to the instruments database
363 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
364 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
365 in the instruments database
366 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
367 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
368 instrument database compilable
369 - added instrument database support on Windows
370 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
371 the instruments DB file is located in
372 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
373 databases for each windows user
374 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
375 and then creates an empty DB
376 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
377
378 * Gigasampler format engine:
379 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
380 while notes were playing
381 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
382 isn't running
383 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
384 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
385 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
386 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
387 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
388 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
389 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
390 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
391 on)
392 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
393 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
394 be played
395 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
396 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
397 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
398 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
399 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
400 defined for the sampler
401 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
402 audio thread isn't running
403 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
404 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
405 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
406 sampler engine anymore
407 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
408 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
409 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
410 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
411 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
412 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
413 instrument-level gig parameters
414 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
415 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
416 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
417 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
418 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
419 note was silent
420 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
421 same time a new instrument was loading
422
423 * LSCP server:
424 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
425 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
426 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
427 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
428 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
429 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
430 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
431 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
432 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
433 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
434 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
435 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
436 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
437 was incorrect
438 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
439 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
440 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
441 be triggered respectively
442 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
443 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
444 which will be triggered respectively
445 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
446 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
447 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
448 - hard close of all sockets on exit
449 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
450 driver
451
452 * Bug fixes:
453 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
454 to start instrument loading after another channel
455 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
456 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
457 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
458 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
459 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
460 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
461 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
462 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
463 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
464 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
465 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
466 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
467 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
468 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
469 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
470 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
471 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
472 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
473 plugin was unloaded
474 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
475 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
476 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
477 Windows
478
479
480 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
481
482 * packaging changes:
483 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
484 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
485 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
486 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
487
488 * general changes:
489 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
490 editor closed
491 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
492 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
493 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
494 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
495 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
496 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
497 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
498 bugs.
499 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
500 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
501 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
502 unaligned 32bit read and shift
503 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
504 output via ASIO)
505 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
506 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
507 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
508 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
509
510 * AUDIO driver:
511 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
512
513 * MIDI driver:
514 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
515
516 * LSCP server:
517 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
518 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
519 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
520 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
521 apostrophes as well
522 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
523 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
524 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
525 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
526 running on
527
528 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
529
530 * packaging changes:
531 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
532 API header files anymore
533 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
534 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
535 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
536 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
537 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
538 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
539 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
540 parameters
541 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
542 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
543 are now in global_private.h
544 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
545 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
546 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
547
548 * general changes:
549 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
550 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
551 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
552 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
553 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
554 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
555 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
556 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
557 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
558 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
559 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
560 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
561 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
562 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
563 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
564 drumkits is possible
565 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
566 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
567 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
568 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
569 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
570 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
571 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
572 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
573 controllers
574 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
575 - Implemented new, improved notification system
576 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
577 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
578 - implemented instruments database
579 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
580 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
581 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
582 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
583 startup, added a new LSCP command:
584 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
585 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
586 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
587 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
588 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
589 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
590 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
591 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
592 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
593 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
594 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
595 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
596 setting their own policy and priority
597 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
598 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
599 its output
600 - fixed some minor memory leaks
601 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
602 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
603 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
604 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
605 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
606
607 * MIDI driver:
608 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
609
610 * audio driver:
611 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
612 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
613 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
614
615 * Gigasampler format engine:
616 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
617 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
618 voice starvation for some gigs)
619 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
620 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
621 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
622 command
623 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
624 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
625 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
626 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
627 even if sustain is 100%
628 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
629 noises or crashes
630 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
631 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
632 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
633 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
634 instead of a fix value
635 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
636 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
637 changed
638
639 * LSCP server:
640 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
641 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
642 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
643 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
644 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
645 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
646 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
647 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
648 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
649 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
650 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
651 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
652 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
653 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
654 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
655 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
656 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
657 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
658 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
659 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
660 settings
661 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
662 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
663 (fixes #57)
664
665 * Bug fixes:
666 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
667 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
668 channel audio output device"
669 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
670 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
671 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
672 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
673 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
674 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
675 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
676 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
677 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
678 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
679 channel changes
680 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
681 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
682 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
683 an audio output device
684 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
685
686 * test cases:
687 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
688
689 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
690
691 * packaging changes:
692 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
693 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
694 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
695 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
696 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
697 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
698 (Doxygen required)
699 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
700 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
701 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
702 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
703 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
704 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
705 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
706 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
707 messages
708 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
709 MIDI drivers
710 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
711 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
712
713 * Gigasampler format engine:
714 - extensive synthesis optimization
715 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
716 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
717 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
718 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
719 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
720 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
721 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
722 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
723 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
724 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
725 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
726 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
727 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
728 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
729 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
730 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
731 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
732 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
733 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
734 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
735 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
736 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
737 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
738 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
739 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
740 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
741 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
742 parameter) and crossfade
743 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
744 parameter
745 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
746 messages
747 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
748 instead of the wave chunk
749 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
750 not equal to a power of two
751 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
752 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
753 and lowpass turbo.
754 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
755 16 bits anymore
756 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
757 aftertouch)
758 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
759 amplifying from 0)
760
761 * LSCP server:
762 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
763 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
764 network activity (fixes bug #26)
765 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
766 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
767
768 * audio driver:
769 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
770
771 * MIDI driver:
772 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
773 messages several times instead of once
774 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
775 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
776 - added checks for bad MIDI data
777
778 * linuxsampler application:
779 - show available sampler engine types on startup
780
781 * general changes:
782 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
783 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
784 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
785 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
786 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
787 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
788 processing of muted channels.
789 - support for sostenuto pedal
790 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
791 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
792 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
793 - fixed some memory management errors
794 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
795 LSCP commands were executed
796 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
797 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
798
799 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
800
801 * packaging changes:
802 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
803
804 * Gigasampler format engine:
805 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
806 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
807 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
808 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
809 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
810 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
811 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
812
813 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
814
815 * packaging changes:
816 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
817 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
818 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
819 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
820 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
821 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
822 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
823
824 * Gigasampler format engine:
825 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
826 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
827 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
828 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
829 note-off velocity.
830 - revised voice stealing
831 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
832 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
833 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
834 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
835 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
836 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
837 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
838 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
839 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
840 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
841 instrument or audio output device change
842
843 * LSCP server:
844 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
845 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
846 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
847
848 * linuxsampler application:
849 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
850 default IP address and port of LSCP server
851
852 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
853
854 * initial release
