File size: 63970 byte(s)
* Reload instrument script automatically after being modified by an
  instrument editor.
* Bumped version (2.0.0.svn8).

1 Version SVN trunk (?)
2
3 * SFZ format engine:
4 - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
5
6 * general changes:
7 - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
8 - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
9 - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
10 allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
11 - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
12 position within a list.
13 - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
14 a raw element pointer.
15 - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
16 overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
17 DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
18 because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
19 - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
20 being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
21 processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
22 script features.
23
24 * packaging changes:
25 - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
26 (originated by libgig's usage of it)
27 - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
28 auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
29
30 * Real-time instrument scripts:
31 - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
32 - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
33 "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
34 correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
35 - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
36 function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
37 argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
38 microseconds.
39 - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
40 potentially causing undefined behavior.
41 - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
42 variable.
43 - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
44 special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
45 triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
46 - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
47 - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
48 a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
49 script editor applications.
50 - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
51 - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
52 column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
53 the precise span of the issue within the source code).
54 - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
55 editor.
56
57 Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
58
59 * packaging changes:
60 - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64

77 gcc 4.7 and C++11
78 - modernized configure script
79 - fixed linkage error when building with
80 LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
81 - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
82 - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES
83 - fixed building with C++11
84 - build fix: ChangeFlagRelaxed.h was missing in makefile
85 - build fix: libsndfile compiler flags were missing in some
86 makefiles
87 - fix for building with bison 3.0 (#202)
88 - Mac OS X: added temporary hack allowing to spawn gigedit as callback
89 on the process's main thread
90 - fixed build error on newer MinGW
91 - support building with older jack versions
92 - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
93 - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
94 source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
95 in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
96
97 * general changes:
98 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
99 the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
100 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
101 respective profiling code is currently broken
102 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
103 "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
104 where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
105 (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
106 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
107 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
108 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
109 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
110 the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
111 effect type is)
112 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
113 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
114 the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
115 effect type is)
116 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
117 - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
118 (as suggested by Alex Stone)
119 - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
120 - experimental support for per voice equalization
121 - added command line option --exec-after-init
122 - Introduced new C++ API method:
123 EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
124 allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
125 instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
126 instruments for example are splitted over several files like
127 "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
128 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
129 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
130 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
131 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
132 - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
133 - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
134 applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
135 series (#182)
136 - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
137 used it everywhere appropriate
138 - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
139 - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
140 SysEx way).
141 - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
142 and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
143 used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
144 - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
145 - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
146 added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
147 C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
148 as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
149 backward compatibility).
150 - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
151 unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
152 - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
153 - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
154 sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
155 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
156 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
157 - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
158 - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and
159 polyphonic key pressure events (so far polyphonic pressure was not
160 supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
161 used so far).
162 - Added initial support for real-time instrument scripts. The script VM
163 code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
164 gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
165 (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).
166
167 * Gigasampler format engine:
168 - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
169 - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
170 dimension zones is not a power of two
171 - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
172 key
173 - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
174 - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
175 - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
176 filter parameters in each sub fragment)
177 - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
178 min value
179 - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
180 doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
181 - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
182 - Fixed support for 'aftertouch' attenuation controller.
183 - Fixed crash that happened with velocity split sounds under certain
184 conditions (see also previous commit on libgig).
185 - fixed behaviour of filter LFO
186
187 * SFZ format engine:
188 - Initial implementation (not usable yet)

349 - bugfix: line numbers in error messages were wrong after "#include"
350 - added support for float and 32 bit sample files
351
352 * SoundFont format engine:
353 - Initial implementation (not usable yet)
354 - RT-safeness: avoid malloc in audio thread
355 - fixed a bug that could cause voice stealing to fail
356 - fine-tuned amplitude EG (by switching from gig to sfz EG)
357 - initial implementation of Vibrato LFO and Modulation LFO
358 - initial implementation of cutoff filter
359 - use linear decay and release for filter and pitch EG
360
361 * Host plugins (VST, AU, LV2, DSSI):
362 - AU bugfix: failed to destroy its audio/MIDI devices
363 - Listen to all interfaces on Mac OS X (INADDR_ANY)
364 - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
365 changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
366 incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
367 - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
368 - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on
369 64 bit Windows
370 - AU: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
371 stereo
372 - VST: made it possible to build the VST plugin for Mac
373 - AU: link AU plugin dynamically if --disable-shared isn't
374 specified
375 - LV2 "state" extension support (patch by David Robillard)
376 - VST bugfix: instrument loading hang and crashed the host when
377 the plugin was loaded a second time (#174)
378 - plugin bugfix: instrument loading hang when the plugin was
379 loaded a second time (this time it's for Linux and Mac, previous
380 similar fix was for Windows)
381 - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
382 - LV2: use the new lv2 package if present
383 - VST: try to open Fantasia automatically on Linux and Mac too (on
384 Linux, the Fantasia jar should be placed in <prefix>/share/java)
385 - VST: fixed crashes on Linux Ardour and EnergyXT
386 - DSSI bugfix: it wasn't possible to change engine type. The MIDI
387 port and audio channel routing for DSSI plugins are now visible.
388 - LV2: use urid and atom extensions instead of deprecated uri-map
389 and event
390 - LV2: lv2 package 1.0 is now required to build the LV2 plugin
391 - LV2: changed number of output channels to 16 stereo, just like
392 the VST and AU plugins
393 - LV2: fixed save/restore of SFZ state (patch by David Robillard)
394 - LV2: made LV2 plugin buildable on Windows and Mac
395 - VST: implemented retrieval and switching of programs using the
396 sampler's internal MIDI instrument mapping system
397
398 * Instrument editor interface:
399 - Changed instrument editor plugin interface, providing additional
400 informations like the EngineChannel for which the instrument editor was
401 spawned for. This allows the instrument editors to interact more actively
402 with the sampler.
403
404 * MIDI driver:
405 - ALSA MIDI driver supports now "NAME" device parameter, for overriding
406 the ALSA sequencer client name
407 - removed limit of maximum amount of MIDI ports per MIDI device, since
408 there is no reason for this limit
409 - MME: fixed memory handling bug found with cppcheck
410 - MME: removed compiler warning
411 - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",
412 which allows to retrieve the list of CoreMIDI clients / ports and to connect
413 to them a la JACK, via the usual sampler APIs
414 - CoreMIDI: added driver specific port parameter "AUTO_BIND", if enabled
415 the driver will automatically connect to other CoreMIDI clients' ports
416 (e.g. external MIDI devices being attached to the Mac)
417 - added support for MIDI note on velocity filter

548 channel to a different engine type
549 - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
550 type while an instrument load was in progress
551 - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
552 a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
553 - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
554 refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
555 - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
556 wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
557 - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
558 - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
559 it caused hanging threads on Windows
560 - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
561 after MIDI/audio device creation failure
562 - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
563 instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
564 took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
565 instrument was completely reloaded again.
566 - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
567 sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
568 project, slightly adjusted)

583 playing a note in a key group
584 - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
585 (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
586 - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
587 crashes and noise on such transitions).
588 - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
589 (fixes #208)
590 - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
591 "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
592 practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
593 shell's auto completion feature).
594 - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
595 after each other (fixes #231).
596
597 Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
598
599 * packaging changes:
600 - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,

602 "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
603 (patch by Alexis Ballier)
604 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
605 - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)

610 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
611 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
612 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
613 directory above)
614 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
615 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
616 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
617 - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
618
619 * general changes:
620 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
621 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
622 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
623 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
624 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
625 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
626 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
627 unnecessarily long after an update
628 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
629 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
630 of gigedit)
631 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
632 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
633 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
634 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
635 implementation, which is usually faster)
636 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
637 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
638 VST plugin
639 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
640 only when there are actual changes

642 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
643 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
644 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
645 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
646 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
647 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
648 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
649 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
650 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
651 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
652 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
653 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
654 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
655 model more strictly
656 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
657 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
658 when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
659 gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
660 - updated linuxsampler man page
661
662 * audio driver:
663 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
664 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
665 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
666 opposed to the LSCP specs
667 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
668 reflected the wrong value
669 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
670 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
671 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
672 jack_client_new

678 win64)
679 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
680 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
681 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
682 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
683 energyXT)
684 - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
685 stereo
686 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
687 stored in the plugin state
688 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
689 AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
690 (if available)
691 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
692 exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
693
694 * MIDI driver:
695 - added JACK MIDI driver
696 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
697 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
698 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
699 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
700 CoreMidi or AU
701 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
702 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
703 moving the logic to a non-RT thread
704 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
705
706 * instruments database:
707 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
708 to the instruments database

710 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
711 in the instruments database
712 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
713 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
714 instrument database compilable
715 - added instrument database support on Windows
716 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
717 the instruments DB file is located in
718 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
719 databases for each windows user
720 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
721 and then creates an empty DB
722 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
723
724 * Gigasampler format engine:
725 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
726 while notes were playing
727 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
728 isn't running
729 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
730 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
731 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
732 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
733 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
734 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
735 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
736 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
737 on)
738 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
739 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
740 be played
741 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
742 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
743 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
744 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
745 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
746 defined for the sampler
747 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
748 audio thread isn't running
749 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
750 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
751 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
752 sampler engine anymore
753 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
754 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
755 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
756 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
757 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
758 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
759 instrument-level gig parameters
760 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
761 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
762 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
763 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
764 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
765 note was silent
766 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
767 same time a new instrument was loading
768
769 * LSCP server:
770 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
771 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
772 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
773 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
774 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
775 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
776 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
777 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
778 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
779 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
780 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
781 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
782 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
783 was incorrect
784 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
785 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
786 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
787 be triggered respectively
788 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
789 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
790 which will be triggered respectively
791 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
792 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
793 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
794 - hard close of all sockets on exit
795 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
796 driver
797
798 * Bug fixes:
799 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
800 to start instrument loading after another channel
801 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
802 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
803 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
804 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
805 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
806 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
807 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
808 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
809 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
810 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
811 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
812 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
813 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
814 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
815 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
816 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
817 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
818 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
819 plugin was unloaded
820 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
821 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
822 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
823 Windows
824
825
826 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
827
828 * packaging changes:
829 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
830 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
831 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
832 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
833
834 * general changes:
835 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
836 editor closed
837 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
838 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
839 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
840 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
841 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
842 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
843 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
844 bugs.
845 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
846 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
847 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
848 unaligned 32bit read and shift
849 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
850 output via ASIO)
851 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
852 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
853 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
854 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
855
856 * AUDIO driver:
857 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
858
859 * MIDI driver:
860 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
861

863 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
864 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
865 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
866 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
867 apostrophes as well
868 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
869 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
870 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
871 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
872 running on
873
874 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
875
876 * packaging changes:
877 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
878 API header files anymore
879 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
880 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
881 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
882 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
883 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
884 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
885 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
886 parameters
887 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
888 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
889 are now in global_private.h
890 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
891 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
892 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
893
894 * general changes:
895 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
896 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
897 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
898 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
899 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
900 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
901 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
902 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
903 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
904 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
905 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
906 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
907 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
908 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
909 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
910 drumkits is possible
911 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
912 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
913 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
914 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
915 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
916 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
917 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
918 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
919 controllers
920 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
921 - Implemented new, improved notification system
922 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
923 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
924 - implemented instruments database
925 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
926 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
927 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
928 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
929 startup, added a new LSCP command:
930 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
931 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
932 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
933 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
934 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
935 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
936 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
937 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
938 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
939 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
940 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
941 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
942 setting their own policy and priority
943 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
944 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
945 its output
946 - fixed some minor memory leaks
947 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
948 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
949 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
950 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
951 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
952
953 * MIDI driver:
954 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
955
956 * audio driver:
957 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
958 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
959 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
960
961 * Gigasampler format engine:
962 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
963 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
964 voice starvation for some gigs)
965 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
966 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
967 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
968 command
969 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
970 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
971 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
972 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
973 even if sustain is 100%
974 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
975 noises or crashes
976 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
977 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
978 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
979 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
980 instead of a fix value
981 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
982 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
983 changed
984
985 * LSCP server:
986 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
987 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
988 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
989 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
990 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
991 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
992 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
993 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
994 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
995 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
996 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
997 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
998 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
999 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
1000 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
1001 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
1002 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
1003 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1004 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1005 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1006 settings
1007 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
1008 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
1009 (fixes #57)
1010
1011 * Bug fixes:
1012 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
1013 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
1014 channel audio output device"
1015 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
1016 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
1017 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
1018 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1019 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1020 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1021 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1022 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1023 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1024 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1025 channel changes
1026 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1027 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1028 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1029 an audio output device
1030 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
1031
1032 * test cases:
1033 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
1034
1035 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
1036
1037 * packaging changes:
1038 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
1039 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
1040 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
1041 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
1042 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
1043 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
1044 (Doxygen required)
1045 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
1046 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
1047 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
1048 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
1049 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
1050 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
1051 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
1052 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
1053 messages
1054 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
1055 MIDI drivers
1056 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
1057 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
1058
1059 * Gigasampler format engine:
1060 - extensive synthesis optimization
1061 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
1062 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
1063 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
1064 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
1065 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
1066 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
1067 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
1068 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
1069 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
1070 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
1071 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
1072 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
1073 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
1074 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
1075 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
1076 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
1077 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
1078 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
1079 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
1080 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
1081 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
1082 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
1083 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
1084 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
1085 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
1086 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
1087 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
1088 parameter) and crossfade
1089 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
1090 parameter
1091 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
1092 messages
1093 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
1094 instead of the wave chunk
1095 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
1096 not equal to a power of two
1097 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
1098 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1099 and lowpass turbo.
1100 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1101 16 bits anymore
1102 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1103 aftertouch)
1104 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1105 amplifying from 0)
1106
1107 * LSCP server:
1108 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
1109 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
1110 network activity (fixes bug #26)
1111 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
1112 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
1113
1114 * audio driver:
1115 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
1116
1117 * MIDI driver:
1118 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
1119 messages several times instead of once
1120 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
1121 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
1122 - added checks for bad MIDI data
1123
1124 * linuxsampler application:
1125 - show available sampler engine types on startup
1126
1127 * general changes:
1128 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
1129 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
1130 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
1131 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
1132 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
1133 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
1134 processing of muted channels.
1135 - support for sostenuto pedal
1136 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
1137 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
1138 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
1139 - fixed some memory management errors
1140 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
1141 LSCP commands were executed
1142 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
1143 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
1144
1145 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
1146
1147 * packaging changes:
1148 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
1149
1150 * Gigasampler format engine:
1151 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
1152 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
1153 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
1154 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
1155 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
1156 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
1157 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
1158
1159 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
1160
1161 * packaging changes:
1162 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
1163 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
1164 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
1165 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
1166 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
1167 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
1168 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
1169
1170 * Gigasampler format engine:
1171 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
1172 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
1173 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
1174 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
1175 note-off velocity.
1176 - revised voice stealing
1177 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
1178 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
1179 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
1180 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
1181 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
1182 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
1183 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
1184 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
1185 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
1186 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
1187 instrument or audio output device change
1188
1189 * LSCP server:
1190 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
1191 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
1192 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
1193
1194 * linuxsampler application:
1195 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
1196 default IP address and port of LSCP server
1197
1198 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
1199
1200 * initial release
