                   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.

                   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.

104	capela	1031	0.5.3 2007-01-15 Added new client interface functions, for sampler
105			channel effect sends control:
106			lscp_set_fxsend_midi_controller();
107			lscp_set_fxsend_level();
108
109			Added new field member to lscp_fxsend_info_t (level).
110

112			channel effect sends control:
113			lscp_create_fxsend();
114			lscp_destroy_fxsend();
115			lscp_get_fxsends();
116			lscp_list_fxsends();
117			lscp_get_fxsend_info();

120	capela	1019	lscp_get_volume();
121			lscp_set_volume();
122
123	capela	1031	Audio routing representation changed to integer array.
124	capela	1020
125	capela	997	0.5.1 2006-12-22 Added support for new (un)subscribable events:
126	capela	994	LSCP_EVENT_AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_COUNT,
127			LSCP_EVENT_AUDIO_OUTPUT_DEVICE_INFO,

134	schoenebeck	1802
135	capela	994	Updated examples.
136	capela	983
137	capela	975	0.5.0 2006-12-17 MIDI instrument mapping, second round, according to
138			LSCP 1.2 draft document as of December 15, 2006.
139
140			New client interface functions:
141			lscp_set_channel_midi_map();
142			lscp_add_midi_instrument_map();
143			lscp_remove_midi_instrument_map();
144			lscp_get_midi_instrument_maps();
145			lscp_list_midi_instrument_maps();
146			lscp_get_midi_instrument_map_name();
147			lscp_set_midi_instrument_map_name();
148
149
150	capela	965	0.4.2 2006-12-04 MIDI instrument mapping fixed, previously missing
151	capela	963	the regular ON_DEMAND load mode.
152
153			Server error reporting is now effective; all server
154			numerical error and warning codes are added to 100,
155			thus giving a proper non-zero lscp_client_get_errno()
156			return value.
157
158	capela	948	0.4.1 2006-11-28 Fixed the flush timeout operation to be issued only
159			once, avoiding recurrent client failure after receive
160			timeout.
161
162			Support for very long command result sets have been
163			introduced, with the downside of strictly obeying
164			the LSCP draft.
165
166			list_midi_instruments() is now being implemented.
167
168			LGPL text is now back in COPYING.
169
170	capela	946	0.4.0 2006-11-27 As of the LSCP 1.2 working draft document, added
171			some missing client interface functions:
172			lscp_get_total_voice_count();
173			lscp_get_total_voice_count_max();
174			and for the new MIDI instrumenbt mapping features:
175			lscp_map_midi_instrument();
176			lscp_unmap_midi_instrument();
177			lscp_get_midi_instruments();
178			lscp_get_midi_instrument_info();
179			lscp_clear_midi_instruments();
180
181
182	capela	921	0.3.4 2006-09-24 GPL address update.
183
184	capela	869	0.3.3 2006-06-01 Fixed some compilation warnings due to suspicious type
185			casting and unsused header macros.
186
187			Changed deprecated copyright attribute to license
188			and added ldconfig to post-(un)install steps
189			to liblscp.spec (RPM).
190
191	capela	764	0.3.2 2005-08-29 Fixed missing initialization bug on lscp_channel_info_t
192	capela	749	new struct fields (mute/solo).
193
194			Include debian files into distribution.
195
196	capela	754	Renamed configure.in to newer configure.ac.
197
198	capela	735	0.3.1 2005-08-16 [bug #21] Fixed automake support for separate build
199	capela	712	directory.
200	capela	749
201	capela	735	Added support to sampler channel MUTE/SOLO states:
202			lscp_set_channel_mute();
203			lscp_set_channel_solo();
204			with corresponding new lscp_channel_info_t fields.
205	capela	712
206	capela	626	0.3.0 2005-06-10 [bug #11] Timeout flush idiosyncrasy is now a feature;
207	capela	623	this just tries to flush the receive buffer whenever
208			any previous transaction has failed due to a timeout.
209
210	capela	626	Fixed an off-by-one timeout quirk, that has been a real
211			showstopper on Mac OS X at least, which is incidental
212			to qsampler's default timeout setting of 1000 msecs,
213			giving up systematically on select() due to "Invalid
214			argument" (EINVAL).
215
216	capela	946
217	capela	562	0.2.8 2005-05-22 More LSCP command syntax changes, particularly on the
218			event subscription ones: the LSCP_EVENT_CHANNELS event
219			definition were renamed to LSCP_EVENT_CHANNEL_COUNT,
220	capela	564	as to be more meaningful. Added support for the newest
221			LSCP command: GET SERVER INFO; lscp_get_server_info().
222	capela	562
223	schoenebeck	1802	0.2.8 2005-05-08 [bug #9] Fixed for a LSCP command syntax convention
224			consistency, regarding the enumeration of available
225			sampler engines, Audio and MIDI drivers; this has
226	capela	523	affected the signature of the following functions:
227			lscp_get_available_engines();
228			lscp_get_available_audio_drivers();
229			lscp_get_available_midi_drivers();
230			which are now returning an integer count of engines
231	schoenebeck	1802	and drivers, respectively, while the following
232	capela	523	functions are now being introduced:
233			lscp_list_available_engines();
234			lscp_list_available_audio_drivers();
235			lscp_list_available_midi_drivers();
236			taking on the previous functionality, returning
237			a comma separated list of names.
238
239	capela	445	0.2.7 2005-03-10 Mini bitsy regression; a severe crash (segfault)
240	capela	435	was fixed on the device configuration functions:
241			lscp_set_audio_device_param();
242			lscp_set_midi_device_param();
243			lscp_set_audio_channel_param();
244			lscp_set_midi_port_param();
245	capela	419
246	capela	415	0.2.6 2005-03-01 Fixed nasty off-by-one bug on internal helpers.
247
248	capela	380	0.2.5 2005-02-14 Added support for the new INSTRUMENT_NAME field
249	capela	378	of GET CHANNEL INFO command.
250
251	capela	278	0.2.4 2004-10-11 Fixed lscp_set_channel_midi_channel() again, MIDI
252			channels should be given in the range 0-15, and omni
253			mode with the LSCP_MIDI_CHANNEL_ALL symbol (16).
254	capela	415
255	capela	279	Fixed lscp_get_channel_info() to parse MIDI omni
256			(ALL) channels mode.
257	capela	278
258	capela	257	0.2.3 2004-09-28 Fixed lscp_set_channel_midi_channel() where MIDI
259			channels should be given in the range 1-16, and
260			omni mode with the new LSCP_MIDI_CHANNEL_ALL
261			symbol (0).
262	capela	415
263	capela	253	Rearrangement on main command requester executive.
264
265	capela	213	0.2.2 2004-07-29 In sync with LSCP document draf (v.12).
266
267			New functions added: lscp_client_get_events() and
268			lscp_reset_sampler().
269
270			Added support for generating Debian packages;
271	schoenebeck	199	renamed pkg-config lib name 'liblscp' -> 'lscp' as
272			it's common practice to omit the 'lib' prefix.
273
274	capela	194	0.2.1 2004-07-09 Potential cripling defects habve been fixed.
275	capela	187
276	capela	178	0.2.0 2004-07-06 New LSCP extension draft (v.11) initial support.
277	capela	103	(still a work in progress...)
278
279	capela	946
280	capela	103	0.1.9 2004-05-18 More fixes for MSVC++ example build.
281
282			0.1.8 2004-05-17 Fix for MSVC++ example build; snprintf replaced by
283			buffer overflow friendlier sprintf.
284
285			0.1.7 2004-05-10 Missing version.h now included on install; WIN32 is
286			only now conditionally defined.
287
288			0.1.6 2004-05-04 WIN32 build support; LPGL disclaimer consistency;
289			versioning functions introduced.
290
291			0.1.5 2004-04-26 Server stuff moved into examples.
292
293			0.1.4 2004-04-24 Initial auto/libtool preparation.
