ChangeLog

0.9.2  2021-03-14  An End-of-Winter'21 release.

0.9.1  2021-02-07  A Winter'21 release.

0.9.0  2020-12-17  A Winter'20 release.

0.6.2  2019-03-24  A Spring'20 release.

                   Fixed compile errors on macOS.

                   Expose actual system error codes via client interface
                   instead of just -1 whenever a syscall failed.

                   Added new client interface function:
                     lscp_client_connection_lost();
                   for checking whether client lost connection to server.

                   Fixed potential missing NULL termination of locale strings.

0.6.1  2019-12-22  The Winter'19 Release.

0.6.0  2017-12-12  An Autumn'17 release.

0.5.8  2016-11-14  A Fall'16 release.

0.5.7  2013-12-31  Use getaddrinfo() instead of deprecated gethostbyname().

                   Update on newer autoconf macros (m4).

                   Fixes for building for Windows with configure and make.

                   Makefile fixes for building in separate directory.

                   Autoconf fix: AC_CONFIG_HEADER obsolete error (fixes #194).

0.5.6  2009-08-01  Fixed locale related parser bug (fixes #59).

                   Added new client interface functions, for managing
                   the global limit of maximum voices and disk streams:
                   lscp_get_voices(), lscp_set_voices(), lscp_get_streams(),
                   lscp_set_streams().

                   _lscp_device_port_info_query(): take port parameter
                   "NAME" into the result list.

                   Bugfix: _lscp_client_evt_proc() dropped LSCP events.

                   Bugfix in lscp_client_subscribe(): only the first
                   lscp_client_subscribe() call succeeded (per client),
                   all subsequent ones failed.

                   Added support for new (un)subscribable events:
                     LSCP_EVENT_CHANNEL_MIDI
                     LSCP_EVENT_DEVICE_MIDI
                   Caution: the bitflag approach for the event variable
                   is now abondoned, since otherwise we would soon hit the
                   limit of the bit range. The bitflag approach will
                   remain for events older at this point (that is all
                   events which occupy the lower 16 bits), but this new
                   and all following events will simply be enumared along
                   the upper 16 bits.

                   Added new client interface function, for renaming
                   effect send entities:
                     lscp_set_fxsend_name();

                   Added new client interface functions, for managing the
                   global limit of maximum voices and disk streams:
                     lscp_get_voices();
                     lscp_set_voices();
                     lscp_get_streams();
                     lscp_set_streams();

                   Bugfix: fixed buggy behavior on different locale
                   settings (e.g. when parsing floating point numbers).

0.5.5  2007-10-12  Changed client interface function, for editing
                   instrument, from:
                     lscp_edit_instrument();
                   to:
                     lscp_edit_channel_instrument();

0.5.4  2007-10-02  Added new client interface function, for editing
                   instrument:
                     lscp_edit_instrument();

                   Fixed some minor bugs in:
                     lscp_set_fxsend_midi_controller();
                     lscp_set_fxsend_level();

0.5.3  2007-01-15  Added new client interface functions, for sampler
                   channel effect sends control:
                     lscp_set_fxsend_midi_controller();
                     lscp_set_fxsend_level();

                   Added new field member to lscp_fxsend_info_t (level).

0.5.2  2007-01-11  Added new client interface functions, for sampler
                   channel effect sends control:
                     lscp_create_fxsend();
                     lscp_destroy_fxsend();
                     lscp_get_fxsends();
                     lscp_list_fxsends();
                     lscp_get_fxsend_info();
                     lscp_set_fxsend_audio_channel();
                   and for global volume:
                     lscp_get_volume();
                     lscp_set_volume();

                   Audio routing representation changed to integer array.

0.5.1  2006-12-22  Added support for new (un)subscribable events:
                     LSCP_EVENT_AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_COUNT,
                     LSCP_EVENT_AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_INFO,
                     LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE_COUNT,
                     LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE_INFO,
                     LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP_COUNT,
                     LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP_INFO,
                     LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INSTRUMENT_COUNT,
                     LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO.

                   Updated examples.

0.5.0  2006-12-17  MIDI instrument mapping, second round, according to
                   LSCP 1.2 draft document as of December 15, 2006.

                   New client interface functions:
                     lscp_set_channel_midi_map();
                     lscp_add_midi_instrument_map();
                     lscp_remove_midi_instrument_map();
                     lscp_get_midi_instrument_maps();
                     lscp_list_midi_instrument_maps();
                     lscp_get_midi_instrument_map_name();
                     lscp_set_midi_instrument_map_name();


0.4.2  2006-12-04  MIDI instrument mapping fixed, previously missing
                   the regular ON_DEMAND load mode.

                   Server error reporting is now effective; all server
                   numerical error and warning codes are added to 100,
                   thus giving a proper non-zero lscp_client_get_errno()
                   return value.

0.4.1  2006-11-28  Fixed the flush timeout operation to be issued only
                   once, avoiding recurrent client failure after receive
                   timeout.

                   Support for very long command result sets have been
                   introduced, with the downside of strictly obeying
                   the LSCP draft.

                   list_midi_instruments() is now being implemented.

                   LGPL text is now back in COPYING.

0.4.0  2006-11-27  As of the LSCP 1.2 working draft document, added
                   some missing client interface functions:
                     lscp_get_total_voice_count();
                     lscp_get_total_voice_count_max();
                   and for the new MIDI instrumenbt mapping features:
                     lscp_map_midi_instrument();
                     lscp_unmap_midi_instrument();
                     lscp_get_midi_instruments();
                     lscp_get_midi_instrument_info();
                     lscp_clear_midi_instruments();


0.3.4  2006-09-24  GPL address update.

0.3.3  2006-06-01  Fixed some compilation warnings due to suspicious type
                   casting and unsused header macros.

                   Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license
                   and added ldconfig to post-(un)install steps
                   to liblscp.spec (RPM).

0.3.2  2005-08-29  Fixed missing initialization bug on lscp_channel_info_t
                   new struct fields (mute/solo).

                   Include debian files into distribution.

                   Renamed configure.in to newer configure.ac.

0.3.1  2005-08-16  [bug #21] Fixed automake support for separate build
                   directory.

                   Added support to sampler channel MUTE/SOLO states:
                     lscp_set_channel_mute();
                     lscp_set_channel_solo();
                   with corresponding new lscp_channel_info_t fields.

0.3.0  2005-06-10  [bug #11] Timeout flush idiosyncrasy is now a feature;
                   this just tries to flush the receive buffer whenever
                   any previous transaction has failed due to a timeout.

                   Fixed an off-by-one timeout quirk, that has been a real
                   showstopper on Mac OS X at least, which is incidental
                   to qsampler's default timeout setting of 1000 msecs,
                   giving up systematically on select() due to "Invalid
                   argument" (EINVAL).


0.2.8  2005-05-22  More LSCP command syntax changes, particularly on the
                   event subscription ones: the LSCP_EVENT_CHANNELS event
                   definition were renamed to LSCP_EVENT_CHANNEL_COUNT,
                   as to be more meaningful. Added support for the newest
                   LSCP command: GET SERVER INFO; lscp_get_server_info().

0.2.8  2005-05-08  [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
                   consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
                   sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers; this has
                   affected the signature of the following functions:
                     lscp_get_available_engines();
                     lscp_get_available_audio_drivers();
                     lscp_get_available_midi_drivers();
                   which are now returning an integer count of engines
                   and drivers, respectively, while the following
                   functions are now being introduced:
                     lscp_list_available_engines();
                     lscp_list_available_audio_drivers();
                     lscp_list_available_midi_drivers();
                   taking on the previous functionality, returning
                   a comma separated list of names.

0.2.7  2005-03-10  Mini bitsy regression; a severe crash (segfault)
                   was fixed on the device configuration functions:
                     lscp_set_audio_device_param();
                     lscp_set_midi_device_param();
                     lscp_set_audio_channel_param();
                     lscp_set_midi_port_param();

0.2.6  2005-03-01  Fixed nasty off-by-one bug on internal helpers.

0.2.5  2005-02-14  Added support for the new INSTRUMENT_NAME field
                   of GET CHANNEL INFO command.

0.2.4  2004-10-11  Fixed lscp_set_channel_midi_channel() again, MIDI
                   channels should be given in the range 0-15, and omni
                   mode with the LSCP_MIDI_CHANNEL_ALL symbol (16).

                   Fixed lscp_get_channel_info() to parse MIDI omni
                   (ALL) channels mode.

0.2.3  2004-09-28  Fixed lscp_set_channel_midi_channel() where MIDI
                   channels should be given in the range 1-16, and
                   omni mode with the new LSCP_MIDI_CHANNEL_ALL
                   symbol (0).

                   Rearrangement on main command requester executive.

0.2.2  2004-07-29  In sync with LSCP document draf (v.12).

                   New functions added: lscp_client_get_events() and
                   lscp_reset_sampler().

                   Added support for generating Debian packages;
                   renamed pkg-config lib name 'liblscp' -> 'lscp' as
                   it's common practice to omit the 'lib' prefix.

0.2.1  2004-07-09  Potential cripling defects habve been fixed.

0.2.0  2004-07-06  New LSCP extension draft (v.11) initial support.
                   (still a work in progress...)


0.1.9  2004-05-18  More fixes for MSVC++ example build.

0.1.8  2004-05-17  Fix for MSVC++ example build; snprintf replaced by
                   buffer overflow friendlier sprintf.

0.1.7  2004-05-10  Missing version.h now included on install; WIN32 is
                   only now conditionally defined.

0.1.6  2004-05-04  WIN32 build support; LPGL disclaimer consistency;
                   versioning functions introduced.

0.1.5  2004-04-26  Server stuff moved into examples.

0.1.4  2004-04-24  Initial auto/libtool preparation.

114
115	capela	1031	Audio routing representation changed to integer array.
116	capela	1020
117	capela	997	0.5.1 2006-12-22 Added support for new (un)subscribable events:
118	capela	994	LSCP_EVENT_AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_COUNT,
119			LSCP_EVENT_AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_INFO,
120			LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE_COUNT,
121			LSCP_EVENT_MIDI_INPUT_DEVICE_INFO,

127	capela	994	Updated examples.
128	capela	983
129	capela	975	0.5.0 2006-12-17 MIDI instrument mapping, second round, according to
130			LSCP 1.2 draft document as of December 15, 2006.
131
132			New client interface functions:
133			lscp_set_channel_midi_map();
134			lscp_add_midi_instrument_map();
135			lscp_remove_midi_instrument_map();
136			lscp_get_midi_instrument_maps();
137			lscp_list_midi_instrument_maps();
138			lscp_get_midi_instrument_map_name();
139			lscp_set_midi_instrument_map_name();
140
141
142	capela	965	0.4.2 2006-12-04 MIDI instrument mapping fixed, previously missing
143	capela	963	the regular ON_DEMAND load mode.
144
145			Server error reporting is now effective; all server
146			numerical error and warning codes are added to 100,
147			thus giving a proper non-zero lscp_client_get_errno()
148			return value.
149
150	capela	948	0.4.1 2006-11-28 Fixed the flush timeout operation to be issued only
151			once, avoiding recurrent client failure after receive
152			timeout.
153
154			Support for very long command result sets have been
155			introduced, with the downside of strictly obeying
156			the LSCP draft.
157
158			list_midi_instruments() is now being implemented.
159
160			LGPL text is now back in COPYING.
161
162	capela	946	0.4.0 2006-11-27 As of the LSCP 1.2 working draft document, added
163			some missing client interface functions:
164			lscp_get_total_voice_count();
165			lscp_get_total_voice_count_max();
166			and for the new MIDI instrumenbt mapping features:
167			lscp_map_midi_instrument();
168			lscp_unmap_midi_instrument();
169			lscp_get_midi_instruments();
170			lscp_get_midi_instrument_info();
171			lscp_clear_midi_instruments();
172
173
174	capela	921	0.3.4 2006-09-24 GPL address update.
175
176	capela	869	0.3.3 2006-06-01 Fixed some compilation warnings due to suspicious type
177			casting and unsused header macros.
178
179			Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license
180			and added ldconfig to post-(un)install steps
181			to liblscp.spec (RPM).
182
183	capela	764	0.3.2 2005-08-29 Fixed missing initialization bug on lscp_channel_info_t
184	capela	749	new struct fields (mute/solo).
185
186			Include debian files into distribution.
187
188	capela	754	Renamed configure.in to newer configure.ac.
189
190	capela	735	0.3.1 2005-08-16 [bug #21] Fixed automake support for separate build
191	capela	712	directory.
192	capela	749
193	capela	735	Added support to sampler channel MUTE/SOLO states:
194			lscp_set_channel_mute();
195			lscp_set_channel_solo();
196			with corresponding new lscp_channel_info_t fields.
197	capela	712
198	capela	626	0.3.0 2005-06-10 [bug #11] Timeout flush idiosyncrasy is now a feature;
199	capela	623	this just tries to flush the receive buffer whenever
200			any previous transaction has failed due to a timeout.
201
202	capela	626	Fixed an off-by-one timeout quirk, that has been a real
203			showstopper on Mac OS X at least, which is incidental
204			to qsampler's default timeout setting of 1000 msecs,
205			giving up systematically on select() due to "Invalid
206			argument" (EINVAL).
207
208	capela	946
209	capela	562	0.2.8 2005-05-22 More LSCP command syntax changes, particularly on the
210			event subscription ones: the LSCP_EVENT_CHANNELS event
211			definition were renamed to LSCP_EVENT_CHANNEL_COUNT,
212	capela	564	as to be more meaningful. Added support for the newest
213			LSCP command: GET SERVER INFO; lscp_get_server_info().
214	capela	562
215	schoenebeck	1802	0.2.8 2005-05-08 [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
216			consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
217			sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers; this has
218	capela	523	affected the signature of the following functions:
219			lscp_get_available_engines();
220			lscp_get_available_audio_drivers();
221			lscp_get_available_midi_drivers();
222			which are now returning an integer count of engines
223	schoenebeck	1802	and drivers, respectively, while the following
224	capela	523	functions are now being introduced:
225			lscp_list_available_engines();
226			lscp_list_available_audio_drivers();
227			lscp_list_available_midi_drivers();
228			taking on the previous functionality, returning
229			a comma separated list of names.
230
231	capela	445	0.2.7 2005-03-10 Mini bitsy regression; a severe crash (segfault)
232	capela	435	was fixed on the device configuration functions:
233			lscp_set_audio_device_param();
234			lscp_set_midi_device_param();
235			lscp_set_audio_channel_param();
236			lscp_set_midi_port_param();
237	capela	419
238	capela	415	0.2.6 2005-03-01 Fixed nasty off-by-one bug on internal helpers.
239
240	capela	380	0.2.5 2005-02-14 Added support for the new INSTRUMENT_NAME field
241	capela	378	of GET CHANNEL INFO command.
242
243	capela	278	0.2.4 2004-10-11 Fixed lscp_set_channel_midi_channel() again, MIDI
244			channels should be given in the range 0-15, and omni
245			mode with the LSCP_MIDI_CHANNEL_ALL symbol (16).
246	capela	415
247	capela	279	Fixed lscp_get_channel_info() to parse MIDI omni
248			(ALL) channels mode.
249	capela	278
250	capela	257	0.2.3 2004-09-28 Fixed lscp_set_channel_midi_channel() where MIDI
251			channels should be given in the range 1-16, and
252			omni mode with the new LSCP_MIDI_CHANNEL_ALL
253			symbol (0).
254	capela	415
255	capela	253	Rearrangement on main command requester executive.
256
257	capela	213	0.2.2 2004-07-29 In sync with LSCP document draf (v.12).
258
259			New functions added: lscp_client_get_events() and
260			lscp_reset_sampler().
261
262			Added support for generating Debian packages;
263	schoenebeck	199	renamed pkg-config lib name 'liblscp' -> 'lscp' as
264			it's common practice to omit the 'lib' prefix.
265
266	capela	194	0.2.1 2004-07-09 Potential cripling defects habve been fixed.
267	capela	187
268	capela	178	0.2.0 2004-07-06 New LSCP extension draft (v.11) initial support.
269	capela	103	(still a work in progress...)
270
271	capela	946
272	capela	103	0.1.9 2004-05-18 More fixes for MSVC++ example build.
273
274			0.1.8 2004-05-17 Fix for MSVC++ example build; snprintf replaced by
275			buffer overflow friendlier sprintf.
276
277			0.1.7 2004-05-10 Missing version.h now included on install; WIN32 is
278			only now conditionally defined.
279
280			0.1.6 2004-05-04 WIN32 build support; LPGL disclaimer consistency;
281			versioning functions introduced.
282
283			0.1.5 2004-04-26 Server stuff moved into examples.
284
285			0.1.4 2004-04-24 Initial auto/libtool preparation.
