2    
3      This is a maintenance release with various fixes. There are only two
4      minor new features in this release:
5    
6      The Giga format engine adds a format extension which allows sound
7      designers to define whether release trigger samples shall be played when
8      the sustain pedal is released. In the previous release this was actually
9      the default behaviour by the sampler, but meanwhile there was a consensus
10      on the mailing list that release samples being triggered by sustain pedal
11      is not the common, expected behaviour. So this is no longer the default
12      behaviour, but you can still opt in to this old behaviour by using this
13      new format extension option (i.e. by using latest release version of
14      libgig and gigedit and enabling the respective checkbox for your
15      gig instrument). If you don't enable this option then release samples are
16      now only triggered by note-off events.
17    
18      The sfz engine adds support for the commonly used built-in sample
19      '*silence' of the sfz format. It does what you think it does; it
20      instructs the sampler to play no sound at all. This is commonly used
21      in sfz files for instance for the lowest velocity switch to not play any
22      sample. With the previous release trying to load sfz files which used this
23      built-in sample caused a file loading error. There are various other
24      commonly used built-in samples in sfz files which you can denote by the
25      leading star character in the sample name, however the '*silence' one is
26      currently the only supported built-in sample by our sfz engine yet. Trying
27      to load sfz files which are using other built-in samples does not prevent
28      your instrument from being loaded by the sampler, however you will get a
29      warning message on the console that the built-in sample is not supported
30      yet and the sampler will simply play silence for that non supported
31      built-in sample.
