25
26 * general changes:
27 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
28 the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
29 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
30 respective profiling code is currently broken
31 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
32 "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
33 where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
34 (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
35 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
36 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
37 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
38 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
39 the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
40 effect type is)
41 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
42 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
43 the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
44 effect type is)
45 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
46 - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
47 (as suggested by Alex Stone)
48 - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
49 - experimental support for per voice equalization
50 - added command line option --exec-after-init
51 - Introduced new C++ API method:
52 EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
53 allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
54 instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
55 instruments for example are splitted over several files like
56 "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
57

313 - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
314 refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
315 - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and

321 after MIDI/audio device creation failure
322 - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
323 instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
324 took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
325 instrument was completely reloaded again.
326 - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
327 sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
328 project, slightly adjusted)

341
342 * packaging changes:

344 causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
345 "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
346 (patch by Alexis Ballier)
347 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
348 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)

352 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
353 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
354 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
355 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
356 directory above)
357 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
358 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
359 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db

361
362 * general changes:
363 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
364 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
365 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
366 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
367 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
368 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
369 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
370 unnecessarily long after an update
371 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
372 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
373 of gigedit)
374 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
375 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
376 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
377 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
378 implementation, which is usually faster)
379 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
380 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
381 VST plugin
382 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
383 only when there are actual changes

385 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
386 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
387 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
388 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
389 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
390 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
391 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
392 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
393 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
394 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
395 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
396 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
397 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
398 model more strictly
399 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
400 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
401 when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
402 gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
403
404 * audio driver:
405 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
406 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
407 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
408 opposed to the LSCP specs
409 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
410 reflected the wrong value
411 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
412 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
413 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
414 jack_client_new

420 win64)
421 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
422 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
423 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
424 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
425 energyXT)
426 - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
427 stereo
428 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
429 stored in the plugin state
430 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
431 AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
432 (if available)
433 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
434 exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
435
436 * MIDI driver:
437 - added JACK MIDI driver
438 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
439 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
440 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
441 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
442 CoreMidi or AU
443 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
444 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
445 moving the logic to a non-RT thread
446 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
447
448 * instruments database:
449 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
450 to the instruments database
451 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
452 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
453 in the instruments database
454 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
455 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
456 instrument database compilable
457 - added instrument database support on Windows
458 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
459 the instruments DB file is located in
460 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
461 databases for each windows user
462 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
463 and then creates an empty DB
464 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
465
466 * Gigasampler format engine:
467 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
468 while notes were playing
469 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
470 isn't running
471 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
472 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
473 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
474 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
475 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
476 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
477 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
478 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
479 on)
480 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
481 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
482 be played
483 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
484 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
485 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
486 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
487 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
488 defined for the sampler
489 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
490 audio thread isn't running
491 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
492 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
493 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
494 sampler engine anymore
495 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
496 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
497 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
498 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
499 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
500 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
501 instrument-level gig parameters
502 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
503 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
504 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
505 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
506 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
507 note was silent
508 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
509 same time a new instrument was loading
510
511 * LSCP server:
512 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
513 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
514 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
515 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
516 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
517 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
518 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
519 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
520 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
521 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
522 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
523 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
524 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
525 was incorrect
526 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
527 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
528 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
529 be triggered respectively
530 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
531 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
532 which will be triggered respectively
533 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
534 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
535 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
536 - hard close of all sockets on exit
537 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
538 driver
539
540 * Bug fixes:
541 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
542 to start instrument loading after another channel
543 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
544 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
545 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
546 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
547 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
548 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
549 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
550 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
551 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
552 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
553 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
554 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
555 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
556 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
557 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
558 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
559 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
560 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
561 plugin was unloaded
562 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
563 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
564 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
565 Windows
566
567
568 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
569
570 * packaging changes:
571 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
572 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
573 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
574 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
575
576 * general changes:
577 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
578 editor closed
579 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
580 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
581 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
582 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
583 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
584 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
585 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
586 bugs.
587 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
588 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
589 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
590 unaligned 32bit read and shift
591 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
592 output via ASIO)
593 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
594 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
595 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
596 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
597
598 * AUDIO driver:
599 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
600
601 * MIDI driver:
602 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
603
604 * LSCP server:
605 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
606 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
607 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
608 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
609 apostrophes as well
610 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
611 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
612 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
613 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
614 running on
615
616 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
617
618 * packaging changes:
619 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
620 API header files anymore
621 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
622 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
623 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
624 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
625 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
626 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
627 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
628 parameters
629 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
630 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
631 are now in global_private.h
632 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
633 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
634 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
635
636 * general changes:
637 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
638 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
639 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
640 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
641 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
642 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
643 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
644 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
645 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
646 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
647 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
648 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
649 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
650 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
651 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
652 drumkits is possible
653 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
654 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
655 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
656 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
657 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
658 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
659 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
660 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
661 controllers
662 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
663 - Implemented new, improved notification system
664 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
665 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
666 - implemented instruments database
667 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
668 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
669 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
670 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
671 startup, added a new LSCP command:
672 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
673 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
674 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
675 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
676 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
677 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
678 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
679 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
680 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
681 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
682 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
683 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
684 setting their own policy and priority
685 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
686 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
687 its output
688 - fixed some minor memory leaks
689 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
690 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
691 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
692 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
693 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
694
695 * MIDI driver:
696 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
697
698 * audio driver:
699 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
700 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
701 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
702
703 * Gigasampler format engine:
704 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
705 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
706 voice starvation for some gigs)
707 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
708 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
709 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
710 command
711 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
712 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
713 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
714 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
715 even if sustain is 100%
716 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
717 noises or crashes
718 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
719 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
720 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
721 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
722 instead of a fix value
723 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
724 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
725 changed
726
727 * LSCP server:
728 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
729 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
730 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
731 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
732 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
733 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
734 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
735 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
736 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
737 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
738 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
739 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
740 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
741 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
742 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
743 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
744 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
745 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
746 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
747 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
748 settings
749 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
750 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
751 (fixes #57)
752
753 * Bug fixes:
754 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
755 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
756 channel audio output device"
757 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
758 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
759 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
760 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
761 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
762 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
763 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
764 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
765 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
766 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
767 channel changes
768 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
769 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
770 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
771 an audio output device
772 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
773
774 * test cases:
775 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
776
777 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
778
779 * packaging changes:
780 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
781 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
782 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
783 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
784 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
785 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
786 (Doxygen required)
787 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
788 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
789 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
790 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
791 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
792 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
793 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
794 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
795 messages
796 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
797 MIDI drivers
798 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
799 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
800
801 * Gigasampler format engine:
802 - extensive synthesis optimization
803 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
804 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
805 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
806 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
807 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
808 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
809 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
810 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
811 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
812 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
813 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
814 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
815 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
816 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
817 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
818 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
819 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
820 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
821 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
822 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
823 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
824 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
825 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
826 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
827 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
828 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
829 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
830 parameter) and crossfade
831 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
832 parameter
833 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
834 messages
835 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
836 instead of the wave chunk
837 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
838 not equal to a power of two
839 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
840 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
841 and lowpass turbo.
842 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
843 16 bits anymore
844 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
845 aftertouch)
846 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
847 amplifying from 0)
848
849 * LSCP server:
850 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
851 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
852 network activity (fixes bug #26)
853 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
854 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
855
856 * audio driver:
857 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
858
859 * MIDI driver:
860 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
861 messages several times instead of once
862 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
863 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
864 - added checks for bad MIDI data
865
866 * linuxsampler application:
867 - show available sampler engine types on startup
868
869 * general changes:
870 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
871 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
872 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
873 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
874 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
875 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
876 processing of muted channels.
877 - support for sostenuto pedal
878 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
879 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
880 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
881 - fixed some memory management errors
882 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
883 LSCP commands were executed
884 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
885 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
886
887 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
888
889 * packaging changes:
890 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
891
892 * Gigasampler format engine:
893 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
894 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
895 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
896 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
897 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
898 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
899 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
900
901 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
902
903 * packaging changes:
904 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
905 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
906 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
907 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
908 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
909 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
910 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
911
912 * Gigasampler format engine:
913 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
914 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
915 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
916 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
917 note-off velocity.
918 - revised voice stealing
919 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
920 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
921 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
922 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
923 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
924 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
925 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
926 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
927 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
928 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
929 instrument or audio output device change
930
931 * LSCP server:
932 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)

934 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
935
936 * linuxsampler application:
937 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
938 default IP address and port of LSCP server
