1    Version 1.2.0 (2021-05-09)
2    
3      This release provides various new features and as always of course also
4      numerous fixes.
5    
6      A C++11 compliant compiler is now at least required to build Gigedit from
7      source.
8    
9      The real-time instrument script editor supports now syntax highlighting for
10      LinuxSampler's new standard measuring units (kHz, c, ms, dB, etc.) feature for
11      the NKSP script language. On the right hand side of Gigedit (the main working
12      area actually) there is now a new tab "Script" which reveals a list of so
13      called NKSP "patch" variables, which are variables published by instrument
14      script authors to be directly accessible from the instrument editor and allows
15      to override the values of certain instrument script variables on a per
16      instrument basis in order to fine tune certains aspects of a script for
17      individual instruments.
18    
19      Latest LinuxSampler 2.2.0 added various gig format extensions which are now
20      available on Gigedit side as well: for instance for LFOs you can select from
21      multiple wave forms (sine, triangle, square and saw) and you can fine tune
22      the start phase of each LFO. To make it more intuitive the resulting LFO wave
23      is drawn as preview on screen according to the chosen LFO parameters. Another
24      gig format extension by latest LinuxSampler are new filter types which can be
25      chosen from (along to the already existing filter types which will continue to
26      co-exist): lowpass 1/2/4/6-pole, highpass 1/2/4/6-pole, bandpass 2-pole and
27      bandreject 2-pole.
28    
29      A new dialog has been added to access the meta info of individual samples,
30      similar to the meta info dialog that already existed for individual
31      instruments.
32    
33      Gain can now be set to any arbitary value between -96 dB .. +96 dB. Previously
34      it was only possible to set gain to max. 0 dB and there was a checkbox which
35      allowed a hard coded boost to exactly +6 dB. The previous appearance
36      replicated the appearance of GigaStudio's original instrument editor. The
37      previous limitation of having just a single possible value for positive gain
38      was unfortunate, but as it turned out this was actually not a limitation of
39      the original gig file format. And in fact we have not added any gig file
40      format extension for this reason to achieve this new freedom of arbitrary gain
41      settings. So setting a positive gain of e.g. let's say +1.45 dB does not break
42      compatibility of your sounds with GigaStudio.
43    
44      And last but not least various minor convenience functions have been added,
45      for instance the default double click behaviour on instruments (which would
46      open their meta info dialog) can now optionally be disabled, window size,
47      position and vertical spliter position are now auto saved and restored among
48      Gigedit sessions and the up/down buttons' steps have been individually
49      adjusted to make more sense for the individual synthesis parameters they
50      control. And regarding the latter: remember that the up/down steppers do
51      actually have two distinct operations per button: a regular left-mouse click
52      for small changes and middle-mouse click for larger changes. Both have been
53      adjusted appropriately for the individual synthesis parameters they control.
