                   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.

0.6.0  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.

113			lscp_get_fxsends();
114			lscp_list_fxsends();
115			lscp_get_fxsend_info();

120
121	capela	1031	Audio routing representation changed to integer array.
122	capela	1020

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

277	capela	946
278	capela	103	0.1.9 2004-05-18 More fixes for MSVC++ example build.
279
280			0.1.8 2004-05-17 Fix for MSVC++ example build; snprintf replaced by
281			buffer overflow friendlier sprintf.
282
283			0.1.7 2004-05-10 Missing version.h now included on install; WIN32 is
284			only now conditionally defined.
285
286			0.1.6 2004-05-04 WIN32 build support; LPGL disclaimer consistency;
287			versioning functions introduced.
288
289			0.1.5 2004-04-26 Server stuff moved into examples.
290
291			0.1.4 2004-04-24 Initial auto/libtool preparation.
