3    * general changes:    * general changes:
4        - AbstractEngineChannel: fixed CCs not being forwarded to all
5          VirtualMIDIDevices.
6        - Fix compiler error with release tarball if no Bison installed
7          (SVN version still requires Flex and Bison being installed).
8    
9      * Real-time instrument scripts:
10        - Fix: Do not share compiled instrument scripts among multiple engine
11          channels (sampler parts) as this can lead to crashes and would allow the
12          same global script variables to be accessible from multiple engine
13          channels which would not be the expected behaviour by instrument script
14          authors.
15    
16      * GigaStudio/Gigasampler format engine:
17        - Use libgig's new IO-per-thread feature to avoid file I/O concurrency
18          issues with .gig file.
19        - Use libgig's new method gig::File::GetSample() with method
20          gig::File::CountSamples() instead of now deprecated
21          gig::File::GetFirstSample() / gig::File::GetNextSample() pair.
22        - Use libgig's new method gig::Instrument::GetRegionAt() with method
23          gig::Instrument:CountRegions() instead of now deprecated
24          gig::Instrument::GetFirstRegion() / gig::Instrument::GetNextRegion() pair.
25        - Use libgig's gig::File::GetInstrument() method with method
26          gig::File::CountInstruments() instead of now deprecated
27          gig::File::GetFirstInstrument() / gig::File::GetNextInstrument() pair.
28        - Show a more detailed error message on terminal if an appropriate editor
29          could not be found for a .gig instrument (if there is not any editor then
30          say so, if there is one but not capable to handle the instrument, then
31          make this case clear to the user; in both cases print the expected
32          location for instrument editor plugins).
33        - Fixed wrong velocity for release triggered samples: if and only if
34          note-off velocity is exactly zero (which means MIDI keyboard does not have
35          release velocity sensors) then use previous note-on velocity as note-off
36          velocity for release triggered samples instead.
37    
38      * SFZ format engine:
39        - Fixed wrong velocity for release triggered samples: if and only if
40          note-off velocity is exactly zero (which means MIDI keyboard does not have
41          release velocity sensors) then use previous note-on velocity as note-off
42          velocity for release triggered samples instead.
43        - sfz.h: Added File::filename() method.
44        - sfz.h: Added File::checkFileModified() method allowing to detect file
45          changes (e.g. by other apps).
46        - sfz.h: Added Instrument::GetFile() method.
47        - Automatically reload .sfz files on file changes (e.g. by some external
48          text editor).
49    
50      * MIDI driver:
51        - VirtualMidiDevice: added method Reset() which is e.g. intended to be used
52          in "panic" / MIDI "all sound off" / MIDI "all note off" situations.
53        - VirtualMidiDevice: release all notes on MIDI CC #120 and CC #123.
54    
55    Version 2.2.0 (9 May 2021)
56    
57      * general changes:
58      - Fixed compiler error in Pool.h.      - Fixed compiler error in Pool.h.
59      - Require C++14 compiler support.      - Require C++14 compiler support.
60      - Autoconf: Added m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 macro which is used      - Autoconf: Added m4/ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 macro which is used

82      - Renamed type LFOUnsigned -> LFOTriangleUnsigned.      - Renamed type LFOUnsigned -> LFOTriangleUnsigned.
83      - Using now cubic interpolation as resampling algorithm by default; and      - Using now cubic interpolation as resampling algorithm by default; and
84        linear interpolation is deprecated now.        linear interpolation is deprecated now.
85        - Event:Init(): memset() entire Event::Param union to zero instead of trying
86          to do that for its individual members; the latter became error prone due
87          to the union's growing complexity meanwhile.
88        - EngineChannel: Overhaul of RPN/NRPN related methods: Added new
89          *Rpn*Parameter*() methods as replacement for previous *Rpn*Controller*()
90          methods and marked the old ones as deprecated; and likewise added new
91          *Nrpn*Parameter*() methods as replacement for previous *Nrpn*Controller*()
92          methods and marked those old ones deprecated as well.
93        - Added support for MIDI CC #38 (data entry LSB): this allows higher value
94          resolution for certain (e.g. hard coded) RPN and NRPN parameters.
95        - Implemented support for compressed RPN/NRPN message sequences (that is to
96          allow processing MIDI data entry messages without always having to be
97          preceded strictly by RPN/NRPN parameter selection messages on each value
98          change).
99        - Added support for MIDI CC #96 (data increment) and MIDI CC #97 (data
100          decrement).
101        - Added support for 'null function RPN/NRPN' (which is RPN/NRPN parameter
102          MSB=127 and LSB=127) and which is disabling subsequent data
103          entry/increment/decrement CC messages.
104        - Fixed crash when editing key groups (a.k.a. exclusive groups) with an
105          instrument editor.
106        - Fixed playing noise at the end of a disk stream under certain conditions.
107        - Fixed potential crash with high pitch at end of RAM playback.
108        - Added configure checks whether C++ compiler supports so called
109          'designated initializers'.
110        - Added global backtraceAsString() function for debugging purposes
111          (POSIX systems only, no Windows implementation yet).
112        - Thread class: Added new methods pushCancelable(), popCancelable(), name(),
113          nameOfCaller() and setNameOfCaller().
114        - configure: Always check for availability of pthread_testcancel() and use
115          it if so (previously it was only used if explicitly enabled by configure
116          option).
117        - Thread class: raise compiler warning if pthread_testcancel() is not
118          available, because it can lead to deadlocks.
119        - Mutex class: Implemented optional bug detection and deadlock debugging
120          features.
121        - Ref<> class is now thread safe (as lock-free and wait-free
122          implementation).
123        - Fixed compilation error with Bison >= 3.6.0.
124        - Fixed rare crash when switching between instruments that had instrument
125          scripts loaded.
126        - Allow EffectChain::InsertEffect() as alternative to
127          EffectChain::AppendEffect() (i.e. with index equal to current chain size).
128        - ConstCapacityArray class: Fixed bug in remove() method.
129        - Fixed crash on certain MIDI RPN and NRPN messages that occurred if no
130          real-time instrument script was loaded.
131    
132    * Real-time instrument scripts:    * Real-time instrument scripts:
133      - Added method ScriptVM::setExitResultEnabled() which allows to      - Added method ScriptVM::setExitResultEnabled() which allows to

301      - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_E".      - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_E".
302      - NKSP language: Allow unary '+' operator.      - NKSP language: Allow unary '+' operator.
303      - Added built-in script functions "msb()" and "lsb()".      - Added built-in script functions "msb()" and "lsb()".
304        - NKSP language: Added support for RPN event handler
305          ("on rpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
306        - NKSP language: Added support for NRPN event handler
307          ("on nrpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
308        - Added built-in read-only variables "$RPN_ADDRESS" and "$RPN_VALUE" which
309          may be read from the new RPN/NRPN script handlers to get the (N)RPN
310          parameter that had been changed and its new value.
311        - Added built-in const variables "$NI_CB_TYPE_RPN" and "$NI_CB_TYPE_NRPN"
312          which are identifying the new (N)RPN handlers as such at script runtime.
313        - Implemented built-in script function "set_rpn()".
314        - Implemented built-in script function "set_nrpn()".
315        - Fix: built-in functions returning an array type were broken and caused a
316          crash when the built-in function's (supposed to be array) result value was
317          used by the script VM.
318        - Removed upper value constraint for 2nd argument of built-in functions
319          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
320          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()","change_reso()", "change_cutoff()",
321          "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_cutoff_lfo_depth()" and
322          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()", to allow e.g. passing value 2000000 to double
323          the LFO frequency / resonance / cutoff frequency.
324        - Reduced code involved for parsing NKSP variable declarations by using 2
325          generalized grammar rules with optional components (i.e. optional value
326          assignment and optional variable qualifiers) instead of previous linear
327          combinations of grammar rules, which also fixes some edge case.
328        - NKSP language parser: track code block locations also by a) raw byte
329          position in NKSP source code string and b) length of that code block in
330          bytes (along to the already existing code block tracking by line/column);
331          and added appropriate new members to public C++ API classes like
332          'firstByte' and 'lengthBytes' to class VMSourceToken and struct CodeBlock.
333        - NKSP language: Added support for 'patch' variable qualifier (capture their
334          locations and allow replacement of their assignment expression via VM C++
335          API).
336        - Fixed incorrect EG times if standard measuring unit was passed to built-in
337          functions "change_attack()", "change_decay()" or "change_release()".
338        - Fixed intermediate function result values never having reflected any
339          standard measuring unit type.
340        - Fixed re-entrant issue with function calls which caused wrong result
341          values if the same function was called multiple times in a term
342          (specifically if metric prefixes were used).
343        - NKSP language: Just throw a warning, not an error if an array variable of
344          size zero was declared.
345        - NKSP language: Allow omitting explicit array size on array variable
346          declaration if combined with immediate value assignment
347          (e.g. declare %foo[] := ( 1, 2, 3 ) ).
348        - NKSP language: emit warning if an array variable was declared with bigger
349          array size than amount of initial values been assigned, and initialize the
350          missing array elements with zero in this case.
351        - Fixed built-in NKSP exit() function to behave as return statement.
352        - NKSP parser: Fixed crash if unary '-' operator was used on a non-number
353          data type.
354        - NKSP VM: Fixed the "release" handler being executed too often under
355          certain situations if polyphonic data was passed from "note" handler to
356          "release" handler.
357        - Fixed memory leak in NKSP parser: string tokens were allocated as C
358          strings and never freed.
359        - Fixed incorrect polyphonic data transfer from wrong note handler to
360          release handler; which also fixes no release handler being executed
361          sometimes, and due to the latter it also fixes potential crashes as some
362          polyphonic script events were never released and the engine hence was
363          running out of free script events.
364        - Fixed crash when handling array results of built-in functions
365          (e.g. "num_elements(by_marks($MARK_1)").
366        - NKSP VM: Fixed dead note events not been removed from user's event groups
367          (i.e. causing incorrect behaviour of built-in NKSP functions by_marks()
368          and set_event_mark() after max. size of event group list was exhausted).
369    
370    * test cases:    * test cases:
371      - Fixed compiler errors in test cases.      - Fixed compiler errors in test cases.

390        "floor()", "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()",        "floor()", "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()",
391        "sin()", "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".        "sin()", "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
392      - Added NKSP test cases for unary '+' operator.      - Added NKSP test cases for unary '+' operator.
393        - Added NKSP test cases for core built-in variables.
394        - Added thorough NKSP test cases for variable declarations.

410      - Format extension: Support for additional filter types:      - Format extension: Support for additional filter types:
411        lowpass 1/2/4/6-pole, highpass 1/2/4/6-pole, bandpass 2-pole,        lowpass 1/2/4/6-pole, highpass 1/2/4/6-pole, bandpass 2-pole,
412        bandreject 2-pole.        bandreject 2-pole.
413        - Fixd potential crash with polynomial interpolator and max. pitch.
414        - If minimum cutoff is defined, remap cutoff controller CC values to really
415          span the entire possible cutoff range (and avoiding a dead controller
416          zone).
417        - Implemented support for loading instrument scripts with 'patch' variables
418          (by patching these script variables with potentially overridden ones by
419          gig Instrument).
420
