1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version CVS HEAD (?)
2    
3    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
4        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
5          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
6          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
7          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
8        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
9        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
10        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
11        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
12        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
13        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
14        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
15        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
16          directory of liblinuxsampler dll
17        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
18        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
19    
20      * general changes:
21        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
22          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
23          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
24        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
25          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
26        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
27        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
28          unnecessarily long after an update
29        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
30          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
31          of gigedit)
32        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
33        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
34        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
35          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
36          implementation, which is usually faster)
37        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
38        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
39          VST plugin
40        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
41          only when there are actual changes
42        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
43          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
44        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
45        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
46        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
47          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
48          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
49        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
50          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
51        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
52          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
53          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
54          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
55        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
56          model more strictly
57        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
58    
59      * audio driver:
60        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
61          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
62        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
63          opposed to the LSCP specs
64        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
65          reflected the wrong value
66        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
67        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
68        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
69          jack_client_new
70        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
71        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
72          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
73          (fixes #117)
74        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
75          win64)
76        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
77        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
78        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
79        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
80          energyXT)
81        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
82          stereo
83        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
84          stored in the plugin state
85    
86      * MIDI driver:
87        - added JACK MIDI driver
88        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
89          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
90          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
91        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
92          CoreMidi or AU
93        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
94        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
95          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
96    
97      * instruments database:
98        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
99          to the instruments database
100        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
101        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
102          in the instruments database
103          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
104        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
105          instrument database compilable
106            - added instrument database support on Windows
107              works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
108              the instruments DB file is located in
109              %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
110              databases for each windows user
111              if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
112              and then creates an empty DB
113    
114      * Gigasampler format engine:
115        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
116          while notes were playing
117        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
118          isn't running
119        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
120          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
121        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
122          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
123        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
124          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
125          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
126          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
127          on)
128        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
129          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
130          be played
131        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
132          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
133          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
134          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
135          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
136          defined for the sampler
137        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
138          audio thread isn't running
139        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
140        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
141          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
142          sampler engine anymore
143        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
144          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
145        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
146          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
147          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
148        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
149          instrument-level gig parameters
150        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
151        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
152        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
153        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
154        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
155          note was silent
156        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
157          same time a new instrument was loading
158    
159      * LSCP server:
160        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
161          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
162          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
163        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
164          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
165          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
166        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
167          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
168        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
169          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
170        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
171          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
172        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
173          was incorrect
174        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
175        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
176          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
177          be triggered respectively
178        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
179          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
180          which will be triggered respectively
181        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
182          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
183        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
184        - hard close of all sockets on exit
185        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
186          driver
187    
188      * Bug fixes:
189        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
190          to start instrument loading after another channel
191        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
192          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
193        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
194          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
195        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
196        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
197          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
198          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
199          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
200          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
201        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
202        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
203        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
204          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
205        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
206        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
207          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
208        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
209          plugin was unloaded
210        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
211          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
212    
213    
214    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
