1  Version SVN trunk (?)  Version 2.2.0 (9 May 2021)
2    
3    * general changes:    * general changes:
4      - Fixed compiler error in Pool.h.      - Fixed compiler error in Pool.h.
5        - Require C++14 compiler support.
6        - Autoconf: Added m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 macro which is used
7          for checking in configure for C++14 support (as mandatory
8          requirement) and automatically adds compiler argument if required
9          (e.g. -std=C++14).
10        - RTMath: Implemented floating point comparison methods
11          fEqual32(float,float) and fEqual64(double,double) which take the
12          expected floating point tolerances into account.
13        - Added public API C++ class "LFO", which is a cluster class encapsulating
14          all the sampler's LFO implementations to be used by 3rd party applications
15          (e.g. by Gigedit).
16        - Added int math square LFO implementation.
17        - Added int math saw LFO implementation.
18        - Added numeric complex nr sine LFO implementation.
19        - Marked class LFOTriangleDiHarmonic as deprecated
20          (will be removed in future).
21        - Added LFOAll.h which includes all LFO implementation's header files.
22        - Refactored LFO class names and their file names (PulseLFO -> LFOPulse,
23          LFOSawIntMath -> LFOSawIntMathNew, SawLFO -> LFOSawIntMathOld,
24          SineLFO -> LFOSineBuiltinFn, LFOSine -> LFOSineNumericComplexNr,
25          SquareLFO -> LFOSquarePulse and separated the latter to its own header
26          file).
27        - Renamed type LFOSigned -> LFOTriangleSigned.
28        - Renamed type LFOUnsigned -> LFOTriangleUnsigned.
29        - Using now cubic interpolation as resampling algorithm by default; and
30          linear interpolation is deprecated now.
31        - Event:Init(): memset() entire Event::Param union to zero instead of trying
32          to do that for its individual members; the latter became error prone due
33          to the union's growing complexity meanwhile.
34        - EngineChannel: Overhaul of RPN/NRPN related methods: Added new
35          *Rpn*Parameter*() methods as replacement for previous *Rpn*Controller*()
36          methods and marked the old ones as deprecated; and likewise added new
37          *Nrpn*Parameter*() methods as replacement for previous *Nrpn*Controller*()
38          methods and marked those old ones deprecated as well.
39        - Added support for MIDI CC #38 (data entry LSB): this allows higher value
40          resolution for certain (e.g. hard coded) RPN and NRPN parameters.
41        - Implemented support for compressed RPN/NRPN message sequences (that is to
42          allow processing MIDI data entry messages without always having to be
43          preceded strictly by RPN/NRPN parameter selection messages on each value
44          change).
45        - Added support for MIDI CC #96 (data increment) and MIDI CC #97 (data
46          decrement).
47        - Added support for 'null function RPN/NRPN' (which is RPN/NRPN parameter
48          MSB=127 and LSB=127) and which is disabling subsequent data
49          entry/increment/decrement CC messages.
50        - Fixed crash when editing key groups (a.k.a. exclusive groups) with an
51          instrument editor.
52        - Fixed playing noise at the end of a disk stream under certain conditions.
53        - Fixed potential crash with high pitch at end of RAM playback.
54        - Added configure checks whether C++ compiler supports so called
55          'designated initializers'.
56        - Added global backtraceAsString() function for debugging purposes
57          (POSIX systems only, no Windows implementation yet).
58        - Thread class: Added new methods pushCancelable(), popCancelable(), name(),
59          nameOfCaller() and setNameOfCaller().
60        - configure: Always check for availability of pthread_testcancel() and use
61          it if so (previously it was only used if explicitly enabled by configure
62          option).
63        - Thread class: raise compiler warning if pthread_testcancel() is not
64          available, because it can lead to deadlocks.
65        - Mutex class: Implemented optional bug detection and deadlock debugging
66          features.
67        - Ref<> class is now thread safe (as lock-free and wait-free
68          implementation).
69        - Fixed compilation error with Bison >= 3.6.0.
70        - Fixed rare crash when switching between instruments that had instrument
71          scripts loaded.
72        - Allow EffectChain::InsertEffect() as alternative to
73          EffectChain::AppendEffect() (i.e. with index equal to current chain size).
74        - ConstCapacityArray class: Fixed bug in remove() method.
75        - Fixed crash on certain MIDI RPN and NRPN messages that occurred if no
76          real-time instrument script was loaded.
77    
78    * Real-time instrument scripts:    * Real-time instrument scripts:

83        VMExecContext::exitResult() after script execution.        VMExecContext::exitResult() after script execution.
84        - 64 bit support for NKSP integer scripts variables (declare $foo).
85        - Variable names, function names and preprocessor condition names must start
86          with a regular character (a-z or A-Z); starting them with a digit or
87          underscore is not allowed.
88        - NKSP parser fix: equal comparison operator "=" and not equal comparison
89          operator "#" must only accept integer operands.
90        - NKSP language: Implemented support for standard units like Hertz, seconds,
91          Bel including support for metric unit prefixes; so one can now e.g.
92          conveniently use numbers in scripts like "5us" meaning "5 microseconds",
93          or e.g. "12kHz" meaning "12 kilo Hertz", or e.g. "-14mdB" meaning
94          "minus 14 Millidecibel", or e.g. "28c" meaning "28 cents" (for tuning).
95        - NKSP language: Introduced "final" operator "!" which is specifically
96          intended for synthesis parameter values to denote that the synthesis
97          parameter value is intended to be the "final" value for that synthesis
98          parameter that should explicitly be used by the engine and thus causing
99          the sampler engine to ignore all other modulation sources for the same
100          synthesis parameter (like e.g. LFO, EG); by simply prefixing a value,
101          variable or formula with this new "!" operator the expression is marked as
102          being "final".
103        - NKSP script editor API: Added support for detecting standard unit tokens
104          and their potential metric prefix token.
105        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number literals and
106          arithmetic operations on them (e.g. "(3.9 + 2.9) / 12.3 - 42.0").
107        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) script
108          variables (declare ~foo).
109        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) array
110          script variables (declare ?foo[]).
111        - Built-in script function "message()" accepts now real number argument as
112          well.
113        - Added built-in script function "real_to_int()" and its short hand form
114          "int()" for casting from real number to integer in NKSP scripts.
115        - Added built-in script function "int_to_real()" and its short hand form
116          "real()" for casting from integer to real number in NKSP scripts.
117        - Allow built-in exit() function to potentially accept real number type
118          argument as well.
119        - Built-in script functions may have a different return type depending on
120          the arguments passed to the function.
121        - Built-in script function "abs()" optionally accepts and returns real
122          number.
123        - Built-in script functions "min()" and "max()" optionally accept real
124          number arguments and return real number as result in that case.
125        - NKSP VM API: Allow units and 'final'ness to be returned as result from
126          built-in functions (added methods VMFunction::returnUnitType() and
127          VMFunction::returnsFinal() for that purpose which must be implemented by
128          built-in function implementations).
129        - NKSP language: Allow metric unit prefixes of numeric scalar and array
130          variables to be changed freely at runtime (unlike unit types like Hz etc.
131          which are still sticky, parse-time features of variables which cannot be
132          changed at runtime for the intentional sake of determinism).
133        - NKSP language: 'final' values are prohibited for array variables for now
134          (attempt causes a parsers error).
135        - NKSP language: expressions with unit types (e.g. Hz) are prohibited for
136          conditions of runtime control structures like if(), while(), select()
137          (attempt causes a parser error).
138        - NKSP VM API: Allow built-in functions to perform their own, individual
139          parse time checks of arguments going to be passed to the function at
140          runtime (added method VMFunction::checkArgs() for that purpose).
141        - NKSP language: raise parser warning if only one operand of binary
142          operators (like logical 'or' comparison) contain a 'final' value (because
143          it would always yield in a 'final' result in such cases).
144        - NKSP language: Allow comparison (=, #, <, >, <=, >=) of values with
145          different metric unit prefixes, which will behave as expected (e.g.
146          result of expression '1000us < 2ms' is true).
147        - NKSP language: Allow adding values with different metric unit prefixes
148          (e.g. result of expression '100Hz + 5kHz' is '5100Hz').
149        - NKSP language: Allow subtracting values with different metric unit
150          prefixes (e.g. result of expression '1ms - 20us' is '980us').
151        - NKSP language: Allow multiplying with any metric unit prefixes
152          (e.g. result of expression '2k * 3ms' is '6s'), however multiplications
153          with unit types on both sides (e.g. '2s * 2s') is still prohibited since
154          we don't have any considerable practical use for a term like '4s^2'
155          (hence any attempt multiplying two unit types still causes parser error).
156        - NKSP language: Allow dividing by any metric unit prefixes and allow
157          division of same unit type on both sides (e.g. expression '8kHz / 1000Hz'
158          yields in unit free result '8'). So this is now a way to cast units away
159          e.g. for passing the result to other expressions, certain function calls
160          or variables which are not accepting any units (or that specific unit).
161        - NKSP language: integer arrays and real number arrays can now be converted
162          to strings (e.g. for dumping their content with message() calls for
163          script debugging purposes).
164        - NKSP language: expressions and variables with units are now correctly
165          casted to strings (e.g. with message() calls).
166        - NKSP language: comparing real numbers for equalness (e.g. '~foo = 3.1') or
167          unequalness (e.g. '~foo # 3.1') is now less strict and takes the expected
168          floating point tolerances into account.
169        - NKSP VM API: Added methods VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastInt() and
170          VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastReal().
171        - NKSP VM API: Added base class 'VMNumberArrayExpr' for classes
172          'VMIntArrayExpr' and 'VMRealArrayExpr'.
173        - NKSP VM API: replaced all unitPrefix() (parse time) methods by
174          unitFactor() (runtime) methods.
175        - Built-in function "exit()" supports now returning units and 'final'ness
176          for test cases.
177        - The following built-in functions support now units as well: "abs()",
178          "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
179          "real_to_int()", "int()", "int_to_real()" and "real()".
180        - Built-in functions "array_equal()", "search()" and "sort()" support now
181          real number arrays (correctly) as well.
182        - Added individual parse time checks of arguments to be passed to built-in
183          functions "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
184          "array_equal()" and "search()" specific for their individual purposes.
185        - NKSP VM refactoring: Renamed all methods, functions and classes matching
186          pattern *ScalarNumber* to simply *Number* (that is i.e. classes
187          VMScalarNumberExpr -> VMNumberExpr, ScalarNumberExpr -> NumberExpr,
188          ScalarNumberVariable -> NumberVariable, ScalarNumberBinaryOp ->
189          NumberBinaryOp, VMScalarNumberResultFunction -> VMNumberResultFunction,
190          method VMExpr::asScalarNumberExpr() -> VMExpr::asNumber(), function
191          isScalarNumber() -> isNumber()).
192        - NKSP VM API: Added 4 overridden methods to class VMNumberExpr:
193          evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t),
194          evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t)
195          as convenient methods for automatically converting values to expected
196          metric value basis.
197        - Built-in function "wait()" accepts now both integers and real numbers as
198          argument.
199        - NKSP VM API cleanup: Get rid of legacy method
200          VMFunction::argType(vmint iArg) which was already superseded by its new
201          replacement VMFunction::acceptsArgType(vmint iArg, ExprType_t type).
202        - NKSP parser: if wrong argument type was passed to a built-in function and
203          that built-in function accepts more than one data type for the argument,
204          then show all supported data types as parser error message.
205        - Built-in function "play_note()" accepts now real numbers and seconds as
206          unit type as well for its 3rd and 4th function arguments.
207        - The following built-in functions accept now real numbers as well for their
208          2nd function argument: "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_cutoff()",
209          "change_attack()", "change_decay()", "change_release()",
210          "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_attack()", "change_cutoff_decay()",
211          "change_cutoff_sustain()", "change_cutoff_release()",
212          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
213          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()",
214          "change_pan_time()", "fade_in()", "fade_out()", "change_play_pos()".
215        - Fixed built-in function "change_play_pos()" not having accepted metric
216          prefixes at all.
217        - Fixed the following built-in functions having misinterpreted values given
218          with unit type (for their 2nd argument) as if they were relative values
219          (that is as if they were passed without a unit type): "change_attack()",
220          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
221          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()".
222        - Fixed the following built-in functions having applied completely wrong
223          'final' values: "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_sustain()" (since the
224          respective EGs being their modulation sink assume uint data type with
225          value range 0..1000 instead of 0.0..1.0.
226        - Added individual parse-time checks of function arguments for the following
227          built-in functions: "play_note()", "note_off()", "set_event_mark()",
228          "delete_event_mark()", "by_marks()", "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
229          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
230          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()",
231          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
232          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()" and
233          "change_pan_time()".
234        - Don't abort function call if unit type was used and at the same time
235          'final' operator was omitted for the primary value argument of the
236          following built-in functions: "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
237          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
238          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()",
239          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
240          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()",
241          "change_pan_time()", instead imply 'final'ness at runtime and raise an
242          appropriate parser warning at parse time.
243        - Added built-in real number functions "round()", "ceil()", "floor()",
244          "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()", "sin()",
245          "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
246        - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_PI".
247        - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_E".
248        - NKSP language: Allow unary '+' operator.
249        - Added built-in script functions "msb()" and "lsb()".
250        - NKSP language: Added support for RPN event handler
251          ("on rpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
252        - NKSP language: Added support for NRPN event handler
253          ("on nrpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
254        - Added built-in read-only variables "$RPN_ADDRESS" and "$RPN_VALUE" which
255          may be read from the new RPN/NRPN script handlers to get the (N)RPN
256          parameter that had been changed and its new value.
257        - Added built-in const variables "$NI_CB_TYPE_RPN" and "$NI_CB_TYPE_NRPN"
258          which are identifying the new (N)RPN handlers as such at script runtime.
259        - Implemented built-in script function "set_rpn()".
260        - Implemented built-in script function "set_nrpn()".
261        - Fix: built-in functions returning an array type were broken and caused a
262          crash when the built-in function's (supposed to be array) result value was
263          used by the script VM.
264        - Removed upper value constraint for 2nd argument of built-in functions
265          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
266          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()","change_reso()", "change_cutoff()",
267          "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_cutoff_lfo_depth()" and
268          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()", to allow e.g. passing value 2000000 to double
269          the LFO frequency / resonance / cutoff frequency.
270        - Reduced code involved for parsing NKSP variable declarations by using 2
271          generalized grammar rules with optional components (i.e. optional value
272          assignment and optional variable qualifiers) instead of previous linear
273          combinations of grammar rules, which also fixes some edge case.
274        - NKSP language parser: track code block locations also by a) raw byte
275          position in NKSP source code string and b) length of that code block in
276          bytes (along to the already existing code block tracking by line/column);
277          and added appropriate new members to public C++ API classes like
278          'firstByte' and 'lengthBytes' to class VMSourceToken and struct CodeBlock.
279        - NKSP language: Added support for 'patch' variable qualifier (capture their
280          locations and allow replacement of their assignment expression via VM C++
281          API).
282        - Fixed incorrect EG times if standard measuring unit was passed to built-in
283          functions "change_attack()", "change_decay()" or "change_release()".
284        - Fixed intermediate function result values never having reflected any
285          standard measuring unit type.
286        - Fixed re-entrant issue with function calls which caused wrong result
287          values if the same function was called multiple times in a term
288          (specifically if metric prefixes were used).
289        - NKSP language: Just throw a warning, not an error if an array variable of
290          size zero was declared.
291        - NKSP language: Allow omitting explicit array size on array variable
292          declaration if combined with immediate value assignment
293          (e.g. declare %foo[] := ( 1, 2, 3 ) ).
294        - NKSP language: emit warning if an array variable was declared with bigger
295          array size than amount of initial values been assigned, and initialize the
296          missing array elements with zero in this case.
297        - Fixed built-in NKSP exit() function to behave as return statement.
298        - NKSP parser: Fixed crash if unary '-' operator was used on a non-number
299          data type.
300        - NKSP VM: Fixed the "release" handler being executed too often under
301          certain situations if polyphonic data was passed from "note" handler to
302          "release" handler.
303        - Fixed memory leak in NKSP parser: string tokens were allocated as C
304          strings and never freed.
305        - Fixed incorrect polyphonic data transfer from wrong note handler to
306          release handler; which also fixes no release handler being executed
307          sometimes, and due to the latter it also fixes potential crashes as some
308          polyphonic script events were never released and the engine hence was
309          running out of free script events.
310        - Fixed crash when handling array results of built-in functions
311          (e.g. "num_elements(by_marks($MARK_1)").
312        - NKSP VM: Fixed dead note events not been removed from user's event groups
313          (i.e. causing incorrect behaviour of built-in NKSP functions by_marks()
314          and set_event_mark() after max. size of event group list was exhausted).
315

325      - Fixed thread tests segfaulting on Linux.      - Fixed thread tests segfaulting on Linux.
326        - NKSP: Added real number test cases for built-in functions exit(),
327          int_to_real(), real(), real_to_int() and int(), as well as for the
328          plus, minus and negate language operators.
329        - Added massive amount of NKSP test cases for standard measuring units and
330          'final' operator usage cases.
331        - Added NKSP test cases for (floating point tolerance aware) real number
332          equalness / unequalness comparison.
333        - Added NKSP int array and real array tests for value assignment and
334          initialization of arrays.
335        - Added NKSP test cases for built-in functions "round()", "ceil()",
336          "floor()", "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()",
337          "sin()", "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
338        - Added NKSP test cases for unary '+' operator.
339        - Added NKSP test cases for core built-in variables.
340        - Added thorough NKSP test cases for variable declarations.
341    
342      * GigaStudio/Gigasampler format engine:
343        - LFOTriangleIntMath and LFOTriangleIntAbsMath: Fixed FlipPhase=true
344          behaviour for start_level_mid.
345        - Changed LFO start levels: LFO1 and LFO2 both to mid, LFO3 to max. start
346          level (see discussion "GigaStudio LFO compatibility" on mailing list
347          from 2019-09-26 for details).
348        - Changed default wave form for all 3 LFOs to sine (instead of triangle;
349          see discussion "GigaStudio LFO compatibility" on mailing list from
350          2019-09-26 for details).
351        - Format extension: Added support for different LFO wave forms (currently
352          either sine [default], triangle, saw or square).
353        - Format extension: Added support for LFO phase displacement (0°..360°).
354        - Format extension: Added support for flipping LFO polarity on LFO 3
355          (in the original gig format this was only available for LFO 1 and LFO 2).
356        - Format extension: Support for additional filter types:
357          lowpass 1/2/4/6-pole, highpass 1/2/4/6-pole, bandpass 2-pole,
358          bandreject 2-pole.
359        - Fixd potential crash with polynomial interpolator and max. pitch.
360        - If minimum cutoff is defined, remap cutoff controller CC values to really
361          span the entire possible cutoff range (and avoiding a dead controller
362          zone).
363        - Implemented support for loading instrument scripts with 'patch' variables
364          (by patching these script variables with potentially overridden ones by
365          gig Instrument).
366    
367      * SFZ format engine:
368        - Fixed support for regions with loccN/hiccN conditions on more than one
369          MIDI controller.
370        - Fixed internal opcode 'xfin_hivel' falsely being set by user opcode
371          'xfin_lovel' (patch by Christian Czezatke).
372    
373      * Benchmarks:
374        - Fixed benchmarks/triang.cpp falsely having favoured "int math abs"
375          algorithm (since result of 2nd run was not accumulated).
376        - Added benchmark for saw wave (benchmarks/saw.cpp).
377        - Added benchmark for sine wave (benchmarks/sine.cpp).
378        - Added benchmark for square wave (benchmarks/square.cpp).
379        - Increased amount of benchmarks runs by factor 6 to achieve benchmark times
380          which are large enough on modern systems.
