* Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
  after each other (fixes #231).

1 Version CVS HEAD (?)
2
3 * packaging changes:
4 - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5 - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
6 - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
7 - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when

22 - modernized configure script
23 - fixed linkage error when building with
24 LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)

39 in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
40
41 * general changes:
42 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
43 the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
44 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
45 respective profiling code is currently broken
46 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
47 "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
48 where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
49 (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
50 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
51 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
52 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
53 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
54 the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
55 effect type is)
56 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
57 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
58 the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
59 effect type is)
60 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
61 - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
62 (as suggested by Alex Stone)
63 - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
64 - experimental support for per voice equalization
65 - added command line option --exec-after-init
66 - Introduced new C++ API method:
67 EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
68 allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
69 instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
70 instruments for example are splitted over several files like
71 "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
72 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
73 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
74 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
75 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
76 - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
77 - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
78 applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
79 series (#182)
80 - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
81 used it everywhere appropriate
82 - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
83 - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
84 SysEx way).
85 - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
86 and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
87 used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
88 - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
89 - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
90 added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
91 C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
92 as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
93 backward compatibility).
94 - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
95 unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
96 - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
97 - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
98 sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
99 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
100 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
101 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
102 - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
103 polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
104 supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
105 used so far).
106 - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
107 code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
108 gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
109 (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
110
111 * Gigasampler format engine:
112 - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
113 - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
114 dimension zones is not a power of two
115 - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
116 key
117 - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
118 - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
119 - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
120 filter parameters in each sub fragment)
121 - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
122 min value
123 - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
124 doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
125 - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
126 - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
127 - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
128 conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
129
130 * SFZ format engine:
131 - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
132 - added support for v2 multiple stage envelope generators

136 - added support for trigger=first, trigger=legato and sw_previous
137 - allow non-numerical key values ("C#4" for example)

304 - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
305 - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
306 - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
307 changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
308 incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
309 - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
310 - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on

321 loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
322 similar fix was for Windows)
323 - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
324 - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present

326 Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
327 - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
328 - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
329 port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
330 - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
331 and event
332 - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin

350 - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
351 the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
352 (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
353 - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter
354 - CoreMIDI: fixed memory deallocation error
355 - Fixed variable underflow in VirtualMidiDevice, which caused graphical
356 virtual keyboards in frontends / instrument editors being stuck.

358 - Implemented missing handling of MIDI "running status".
359 - CoreMIDI fix: a MIDIPacket can contain more than one event per packet.
360 - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
361 - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
362 parameter "AUTO_BIND").

417 - Added support for auto completion by tab key.
418 - Show currently available auto completion while typing.
419 - Added support for browsing command history with up / down keys.
420 - Show all possible next symbols immediately right to the current command

422 be the case in other shells).
423 - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
424 - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
425 automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
426 as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command
427 line.

477
478 * Bug fixes:
479 - Fixed crash which may occur when MIDI key + transpose is out of range
480 - minor valgrind fixes
481 - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
482 channel to a different engine type
483 - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
484 type while an instrument load was in progress
485 - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
486 a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
487 - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
488 refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
489 - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
490 wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
491 - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
492 - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
493 it caused hanging threads on Windows
494 - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
495 after MIDI/audio device creation failure
496 - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
497 instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
498 took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
499 instrument was completely reloaded again.
500 - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
501 sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
502 project, slightly adjusted)
503 - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
504 which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate
505 - fixed bug #162

513 - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
514 - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
515 introduced in previous fix)
516 - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
517 playing a note in a key group
518 - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
519 (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
520 - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
521 crashes and noise on such transitions).
522 - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
523 (fixes #208)
524 - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
525 "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
526 practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
527 shell's auto completion feature).
528 - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
529 after each other (fixes #231).
530
531 Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
532
533 * packaging changes:
534 - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
535 causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
536 "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
537 (patch by Alexis Ballier)
538 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
539 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
540 - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
541 - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
542 - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
543 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
544 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
545 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
546 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
547 directory above)
548 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
549 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
550 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
551 - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
552
553 * general changes:
554 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
555 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
556 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
557 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
558 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
559 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
560 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
561 unnecessarily long after an update
562 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
563 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
564 of gigedit)
565 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
566 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
567 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
568 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
569 implementation, which is usually faster)
570 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
571 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
572 VST plugin
573 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
574 only when there are actual changes
575 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
576 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
577 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
578 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
579 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
580 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
581 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
582 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
583 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
584 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
585 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
586 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
587 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
588 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
589 model more strictly
590 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
591 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
592 when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
593 gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
594 - updated linuxsampler man page
595
596 * audio driver:
597 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
598 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
599 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
600 opposed to the LSCP specs
601 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
602 reflected the wrong value
603 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
604 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
605 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
606 jack_client_new
607 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
608 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
609 previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
610 (fixes #117)
611 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
612 win64)
613 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
614 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
615 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
616 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
617 energyXT)
618 - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
619 stereo
620 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
621 stored in the plugin state
622 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
623 AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
624 (if available)
625 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
626 exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
627
628 * MIDI driver:
629 - added JACK MIDI driver
630 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
631 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
632 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
633 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
634 CoreMidi or AU
635 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
636 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
637 moving the logic to a non-RT thread
638 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
639
640 * instruments database:
641 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
642 to the instruments database
643 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
644 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
645 in the instruments database
646 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
647 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
648 instrument database compilable
649 - added instrument database support on Windows
650 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
651 the instruments DB file is located in
652 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
653 databases for each windows user
654 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
655 and then creates an empty DB
656 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
657
658 * Gigasampler format engine:
659 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
660 while notes were playing
661 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
662 isn't running
663 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
664 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
665 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
666 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
667 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
668 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
669 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
670 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
671 on)
672 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
673 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
674 be played
675 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
676 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
677 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
678 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
679 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
680 defined for the sampler
681 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
682 audio thread isn't running
683 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
684 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
685 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
686 sampler engine anymore
687 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
688 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
689 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
690 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
691 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
692 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
693 instrument-level gig parameters
694 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
695 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
696 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
697 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
698 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
699 note was silent
700 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
701 same time a new instrument was loading
702
703 * LSCP server:
704 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
705 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
706 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
707 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
708 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
709 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
710 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
711 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
712 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
713 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
714 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
715 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
716 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
717 was incorrect
718 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
719 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
720 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
721 be triggered respectively
722 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
723 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
724 which will be triggered respectively
725 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
726 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
727 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
728 - hard close of all sockets on exit
729 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
730 driver
731
732 * Bug fixes:
733 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
734 to start instrument loading after another channel
735 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
736 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
737 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
738 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
739 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
740 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
741 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
742 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
743 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
744 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
745 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
746 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
747 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
748 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
749 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
750 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
751 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
752 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
753 plugin was unloaded
754 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
755 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
756 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
757 Windows
758
759
760 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
761
762 * packaging changes:
763 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
764 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
765 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
766 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
767
768 * general changes:
769 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
770 editor closed
771 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
772 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
773 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
774 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
775 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
776 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
777 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
778 bugs.
779 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
780 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
781 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
782 unaligned 32bit read and shift
783 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
784 output via ASIO)
785 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
786 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
787 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
788 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
789
790 * AUDIO driver:
791 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
792
793 * MIDI driver:
794 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
795
796 * LSCP server:
797 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
798 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
799 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
800 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
801 apostrophes as well
802 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
803 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
804 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
805 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
806 running on
807
808 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
809
810 * packaging changes:
811 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
812 API header files anymore
813 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
814 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
815 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
816 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
817 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
818 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
819 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
820 parameters
821 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
822 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
823 are now in global_private.h
824 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
825 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
826 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
827
828 * general changes:
829 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
830 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
831 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
832 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
833 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
834 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
835 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
836 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
837 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
838 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
839 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
840 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
841 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
842 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
843 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
844 drumkits is possible
845 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
846 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
847 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
848 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
849 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
850 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
851 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
852 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
853 controllers
854 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
855 - Implemented new, improved notification system
856 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
857 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
858 - implemented instruments database
859 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
860 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
861 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
862 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
863 startup, added a new LSCP command:
864 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
865 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
866 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
867 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
868 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
869 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
870 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
871 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
872 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
873 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
874 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
875 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
876 setting their own policy and priority
877 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
878 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
879 its output
880 - fixed some minor memory leaks
881 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
882 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
883 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
884 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
885 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
886
887 * MIDI driver:
888 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
889
890 * audio driver:
891 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
892 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
893 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
894
895 * Gigasampler format engine:
896 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
897 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
898 voice starvation for some gigs)
899 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
900 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
901 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
902 command
903 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
904 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
905 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
906 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
907 even if sustain is 100%
908 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
909 noises or crashes
910 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
911 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
912 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
913 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
914 instead of a fix value
915 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
916 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
917 changed
918
919 * LSCP server:
920 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
921 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
922 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
923 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
924 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
925 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
926 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
927 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
928 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
929 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
930 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
931 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
932 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
933 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
934 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
935 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
936 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
937 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
938 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
939 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
940 settings
941 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
942 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
943 (fixes #57)
944
945 * Bug fixes:
946 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
947 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
948 channel audio output device"
949 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
950 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
951 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
952 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
953 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
954 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
955 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
956 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
957 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
958 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
959 channel changes
960 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
961 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
962 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
963 an audio output device
964 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
965
966 * test cases:
967 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
968
969 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
970
971 * packaging changes:
972 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
973 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
974 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
975 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
976 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
977 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
978 (Doxygen required)
979 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
980 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
981 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
982 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
983 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
984 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
985 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
986 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
987 messages
988 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
989 MIDI drivers
990 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
991 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
992
993 * Gigasampler format engine:
994 - extensive synthesis optimization
995 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
996 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
997 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
998 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
999 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
1000 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
1001 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
1002 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
1003 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
1004 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
1005 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
1006 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
1007 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
1008 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
1009 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
1010 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
1011 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
1012 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
1013 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
1014 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
1015 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
1016 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
1017 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
1018 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
1019 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
1020 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
1021 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
1022 parameter) and crossfade
1023 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
1024 parameter
1025 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
1026 messages
1027 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
1028 instead of the wave chunk
1029 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
1030 not equal to a power of two
1031 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
1032 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1033 and lowpass turbo.
1034 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1035 16 bits anymore
1036 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1037 aftertouch)
1038 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1039 amplifying from 0)
1040
1041 * LSCP server:
1042 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
1043 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
1044 network activity (fixes bug #26)
1045 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
1046 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
1047
1048 * audio driver:
1049 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
1050
1051 * MIDI driver:
1052 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
1053 messages several times instead of once
1054 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
1055 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
1056 - added checks for bad MIDI data
1057
1058 * linuxsampler application:
1059 - show available sampler engine types on startup
1060
1061 * general changes:
1062 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
1063 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
1064 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
1065 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
1066 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
1067 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
1068 processing of muted channels.
1069 - support for sostenuto pedal
1070 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
1071 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
1072 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
1073 - fixed some memory management errors
1074 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
1075 LSCP commands were executed
1076 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
1077 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
1078
1079 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
1080
1081 * packaging changes:
1082 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
1083
1084 * Gigasampler format engine:
1085 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
1086 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
1087 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
1088 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
1089 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
1090 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
1091 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
1092
1093 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
1094
1095 * packaging changes:
1096 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
1097 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
1098 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
1099 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
1100 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
1101 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
1102 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
1103
1104 * Gigasampler format engine:
1105 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
1106 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
1107 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
1108 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
1109 note-off velocity.
1110 - revised voice stealing
1111 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
1112 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
1113 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
1114 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
1115 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
1116 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
1117 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
1118 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
1119 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
1120 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
1121 instrument or audio output device change
1122
1123 * LSCP server:
1124 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
1125 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
1126 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
1127
1128 * linuxsampler application:
1129 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
1130 default IP address and port of LSCP server
1131
1132 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
1133
1134 * initial release
