# Line 1  Line 1 
1    Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3      * general changes:
4        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
5    
6      * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
7        - added partial support for MIDI rules, only the Controller
8          Triggered rule is supported so far
9        - bugfix: removed another iterator invalidation in DeleteSample
10        - bugfix in Sample::LoadSampleData*(): reset sample read position to
11          sample start before trying to (re)load sample data from file (#82)
12    
13      * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
14        - bugfix: saving to the same file after the file size had been
15          increased made the file corrupt (#82)
16        - bugfix: refuse Chunk::Read() in case chunk has just been added, that
17          is not written physically yet (#82)
18        - bugfix: saving to the same file after the file size had been
19          decreased sometimes also made the file corrupt!
20        - bugfix: undefined behavior (e.g. endless loop) when opening zero
21          length files, now throws a RIFF::Exception instead (fixes bug #121)
22    
23    Version 3.2.1 (5 Dec 2007)
24    
25      * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
26        - avoid Windows to perform unnecessary file stream caching which would
27          decrease disk streaming performance on Windows systems otherwise
28    
29      * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
30        - added File::SetAutoLoad() and File::GetAutoLoad() for allowing
31          applications to retrieve very superficial informations like amount of
32          instruments and their names in a very fast way
33    
34    Version 3.2.0 (14 Oct 2007)
35    
36      * packaging changes:
37        - added Mac OSX XCode project files (patch by Toshi Nagata)
38        - Dev-C++ (win32) project file is automatically updated with
39          the version info from configure.in
40        - the configure script can now be used in Windows with MSYS
41        - added a mainpage for the Doxygen API documentation
42    
43      * src/DLS.cpp, src/DLS.h:
44        - added Sampler::AddSampleLoop() and Sampler::DeleteSampleLoop() methods
45        - fixed write support for big-endian systems
46        - improved handling of fixed length info strings - separate default
47          lengths can be specified for each INFO chunk
48        - added Resource::GenerateDLSID function
49        - write support fix: allow regions without mapped samples
50        - added method SetKeyRange() to the Region class which should be used
51          instead of setting the KeyRange member variable directly
52        - MoveRegion() method of Region class is now private
53        - added SetGain() method to Sampler class
54        - fixed crash when saving a file after a sample loop was added
55    
56      * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
57        - fixed segmentation fault in the gig::File destructor sequence which
58          happened when gig::Group informations were accessed before
59        - fixed write support for big-endian systems
60        - defined lengths of a fixed set of info strings. These strings
61          are saved when the file is written, even if they are empty.
62        - added missing parameter initalizations in sample, region and
63          instrument constructors
64        - clear unused fields when saving samples and regions
65        - fixed write support bugs: v3 dimension limits and chunksize
66          weren't saved, leverage controller of type controlchange
67          couldn't be saved, group name list chunk was placed wrong,
68          dimension region chunks also placed wrong
69        - added initialization of some fixed info strings in file and
70          instrument
71        - write support: files created by libgig will now have the RIFF

73        - write support: two previously unknown fields in dimension
74          definition are now saved
75        - added constants for gig file versions
76        - write support: the 3crc and einf chunks are now created or
77          updated when a file is saved (3crc contains sample checksums,
78          einf contains file statistics)
79        - write support: DLSID is now generated on the file and the
80          instruments
81        - write support: improved the default values for dimension region
82          parameters
83        - more write support fixes: crossfade parameters were not saved,
84          v3 dimension limits were not correctly initialized and saved
85          when dimensions were added or deleted, v3 wave pool offsets were
86          not saved correctly
87        - write support: 24 bit samples can now be written
88        - write support: version 3 is now the default for new files
89        - more write support fixes: the 3ewg chunk is now bigger for v3,
90          dimension regions without mapped samples are now allowed, 3gnl
91          list in v3 files now always has 128 entries, several parameters
92          where incorrectly saved due to an operator precedence mistake
93        - DeleteSample now removes all references to the deleted sample
94        - AddDimension now copies all parameters from existing dimension
95          regions and also makes sure that the samplechannel dimension is
96          placed first in the list of dimensions.
97        - added method GetParent() to class 'DimensionRegion', which returns its
98          parent Region
99        - fixed Instrument::UpdateRegionKeyTable() method which did not reset
100          unused areas
101        - added various setter methods to DimensionRegion class which take care
102          of updating lookup tables / caches.
103    
104      * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
105        - added File::SetByteOrder method
106        - Windows fix: saving a new file didn't work
107    
108      * src/gigdump.cpp:
109        - added some missing dimension strings
110    
111    Version 3.1.1 (24 Mar 2007)
112    
113      * packaging changes:

119        - custom velocity splits now works for gig v3 files too
120        - added support for custom splits points for other dimensions than
121          velocity (gig v3 feature)
122        - added "smart midi" and "round robin keyboard" dimensions
123        - added new method File::DeleteGroupOnly() which only deletes the given
124          group but moves all its members to another group, the other method,
125          that is File::DeleteGroup() now removes not just the group, but also
126          all the samples that belong to that group
127        - fixed crash which occured on interfering File::DeleteSample() and
128          File::GetNextSample() calls (due to iterator invalidation)

131          with the group
132        - added Instrument::MoveRegion method
133        - fixed constructor for Region, which did not initialize correctly
134          when used from Instrument::AddRegion
135        - when saving, override the gig::Regions sample reference simply by
136          the region's first dimension region's sample (avoids an exception
137          when trying to save a new instrument)
138        - fixed AddDimension() method which did not fill out all mandatory
139          dimension definition fields
140

144          causing an exception when trying to save a new instrument
145    
146      * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
147        - fixed RIFF::Chunk destructor which did not unregister previously
148          resized chunks, leading to a "zero size chunk" exception when
149          File::Save() was called
150        - added List::MoveSubChunk method
151    
152    Version 3.1.0 (24 Nov 2006)

162        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
163          instead of the wave chunk
164        - keyswitching dimension is changed from split type "normal" to
165          "bit"
166        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
167          16 bits anymore
168        - support for reading of ".art" files. (Merging of .art and .gig
169          files are not implemented yet.)

199    
200      * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:

215          after a Chunk::Resize() and before the File::Save() call to allow
216          placing the new data in the chunk's write buffer and perform the
217          resize and write operations in one rush
218    
219      * src/gigdump.cpp:
220        - fixed to show the correct amount of dimension regions instead of 32

228    
229      * packaging changes:
230        - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'

269    
270      * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
271        - experimental support for Gigasampler v3 format;
272          64 bit file offsets are truncated to 32 bit, 24 bit samples are

274          articulation informations are ignored at the moment
275          (patch by Andreas Persson)
276        - added some file format compatibility checks
277        - fixed vcf_type_lowpassturbo value (vcf_type_lowpassturbo was actually
278          never used, because the necessary check was made before
279          initialization)
280        - fixed crossfade points order (structure for big endian and little

324          used libgig version
325    
326    Version 1.0.0 (26 Nov 2004)
327    
328      * packaging changes:
329        - renamed 'libgig.pc.in' -> 'gig.pc.in' and renamed pkg-config lib name
330          'libgig' -> 'gig' as it's common practice to omit the 'lib' prefix
331        - fixed man pages automake install rule (which didn't work on Mandrake,
332          SuSE and Fedora)
333        - fixed generation of Doxygen API documentation (now also included in

347        - symbol prototyping of gig::Region (fixes build failure with qsampler)
348    
349      * src/gigextract.cpp:
350        - added support for libsndfile (if libaudiofile and libsndfile are
351          available then libsndfile is preferred)
352    
353      * src/gigdump.cpp:
354        - added printout for dimension informations (amount, type, bits, zones)
355        - added printout for velocity response curve parameters
356        - added printout for crossfade definitions
357        - added printout for panorama value for each DimensionRegion

360    
361    Version 0.7.1 (2 Jul 2004)
362    
363      * packaging changes:
364        - added libgig.spec and libgig.pc package configurations for generating
365          Redhat packages

368        - added support for generating Debian packages
369        - version of shared library can be set in configure.in
370    
371    Version 0.7.0 (3 May 2004)
372    
373      * general changes:
374        - various big endian specific corrections
375          (successfully tested now on PPC)
376        - minor adjustments to avoid compile errors on some systems
377          (using now pow() instead of powl() and --pedantic g++ compiler switch)
378        - libtoolized the library
379        - added man pages for the command line tools
380          (gigextract, gigdump, dlsdump, rifftree)
381    
382      * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
383        - fixed bug in decompression algorithm which caused it not to detect
384          the end of a stream
385        - added method GetVelocityAttenuation() to class 'DimensionRegion' which
386          takes the MIDI key velocity value as an argument and returns the
387          appropriate volume factor (0.0 ... 1.0) for the sample to be played
388          back, the velocity curve transformation functions used for this are
389          only an approximation so far
390        - fixed class attributes 'Sample::LoopStart', 'Sample::LoopEnd' and
391          'Sample::LoopSize' which reflected wrong values
392        - class attributes 'Sample::LoopStart' and 'Sample::LoopEnd' are now
393          measured in sample points instead of byte offset
394        - renamed misleading attribute name 'Sample::MIDIPitchFraction' to
395          'Sample::FineTune'
396        - added class attribute 'Sample::LoopSize'
397        - added method GetInstrument(uint index) to class 'File'
398        - added ReadAndLoop() method to class 'Sample' which is an extension to
399          the normal Read() method to honor the sample's looping information
400          while streaming from disk
401        - changed interface for 'attenuation_ctrl_t', 'eg1_ctrl_t' and
402          'eg2_ctrl_t': replaced this huge enumeration by a structure which
403          reflects the MIDI controller number in case of an ordinary control
404          change controller (this saves a huge switch-case block in the
405          application of the library user)
406        - renamed following attributes in class 'DimensionRegion':
407          'AttenuationContol' -> 'AttenuationController',
408          'InvertAttenuationControl' -> 'InvertAttenuationController',
409          'AttenuationControlTreshold' -> 'AttenuationControllerThreshold'
410        - minor fix in API documentation for method GetVelocityAttenuation() in
411          class 'DimensionRegion'
412    
413      * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
414        - added additional API documentation
415        - minor fix in Chunk::Read() method (only a minor efficiency issue)
416    
417      * src/gigdump.cpp:
418        - added printout of samples' looping informations
419    
420  Version 0.6.0 (3 Nov 2003)  Version 0.6.0 (3 Nov 2003)
