* MME driver bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly

1 Version CVS HEAD (?)
2
3 * packaging changes:
4 - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
5 - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
6 - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
7 - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
8 doing "make dist"
9 - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
10 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
11 - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
12 - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
13 - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
14 directories are separate
15 - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
16 configure
17 - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
18 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
19 - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
20 - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
21 gcc 4.7 and C++11
22 - modernized configure script
23 - fixed linkage error when building with
24 LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
25 - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
26 - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES
27
28 * general changes:
29 - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
30 the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
31 - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
32 respective profiling code is currently broken
33 - Introduced support for optional environment variable
34 "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
35 where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
36 (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
37 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
38 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
39 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
40 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
41 the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
42 effect type is)
43 - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
44 note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
45 the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
46 effect type is)
47 - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
48 - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
49 (as suggested by Alex Stone)
50 - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
51 - experimental support for per voice equalization
52 - added command line option --exec-after-init
53 - Introduced new C++ API method:
54 EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
55 allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
56 instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
57 instruments for example are splitted over several files like
58 "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
59 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
60 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
61 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
62 - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
63 - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
64 - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
65 applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
66 series (#182)
67 - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
68 used it everywhere appropriate
69 - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
70 - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
71 SysEx way).
72
73 * Gigasampler format engine:
74 - implemented the "round robin keyboard" dimension
75 - fixed round robin and random dimensions for cases when number of
76 dimension zones is not a power of two
77 - made round robin use a counter for each region instead of each
78 key
79 - bugfix: pitch LFO controller "internal+aftertouch" was broken
80 - bugfix: filter keyboard tracking was broken
81 - filter performance fix (an unnecessary copy was made of the
82 filter parameters in each sub fragment)
83 - handle special case when pan parameter in gig file has max or
84 min value
85 - Exclusive Groups: don't ever stop voices of the same note,
86 doesn't sound naturally with a drumkit
87 - fixed EG1 modulation when attack or release is zero
88
89 * SFZ format engine:

407
408 * packaging changes:

417 - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
418 - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
419 - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
420 - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
421 directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
422 directory above)
423 - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
424 - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
425 - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
426 - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
427
428 * general changes:
429 - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
430 load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
431 (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
432 - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
433 plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
434 - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
435 - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
436 unnecessarily long after an update
437 - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
438 events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
439 of gigedit)
440 - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
441 - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
442 - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
443 is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
444 implementation, which is usually faster)
445 - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
446 - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
447 VST plugin
448 - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
449 only when there are actual changes
450 - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
451 multi-core and multi-cpu systems
452 - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
453 - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
454 - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
455 be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
456 stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
457 - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
458 a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
459 - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
460 liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
461 InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
462 InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
463 - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
464 model more strictly
465 - fixes for using large audio device buffers
466 - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
467 when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
468 gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
469
470 * audio driver:
471 - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
472 max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
473 - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
474 opposed to the LSCP specs
475 - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
476 reflected the wrong value
477 - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
478 - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
479 - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
480 jack_client_new
481 - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
482 - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
483 previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
484 (fixes #117)
485 - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
486 win64)
487 - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
488 - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
489 - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
490 - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
491 energyXT)
492 - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
493 stereo
494 - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
495 stored in the plugin state
496 - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
497 AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
498 (if available)
499 - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
500 exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
501
502 * MIDI driver:
503 - added JACK MIDI driver
504 - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
505 want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
506 input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
507 - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
508 CoreMidi or AU
509 - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
510 - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
511 moving the logic to a non-RT thread
512 - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
513
514 * instruments database:
515 - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
516 to the instruments database
517 - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
518 - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
519 in the instruments database
520 (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
521 - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
522 instrument database compilable
523 - added instrument database support on Windows
524 works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
525 the instruments DB file is located in
526 %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
527 databases for each windows user
528 if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
529 and then creates an empty DB
530 - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
531
532 * Gigasampler format engine:
533 - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
534 while notes were playing
535 - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
536 isn't running
537 - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
538 enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
539 - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
540 respective FX send MIDI controller was used
541 - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
542 (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
543 whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
544 connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
545 on)
546 - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
547 sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
548 be played
549 - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
550 which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
551 drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
552 part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
553 LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
554 defined for the sampler
555 - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
556 audio thread isn't running
557 - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
558 - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
559 un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
560 sampler engine anymore
561 - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
562 e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
563 - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
564 same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
565 same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
566 - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
567 instrument-level gig parameters
568 - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
569 - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
570 - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
571 - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
572 - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
573 note was silent
574 - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
575 same time a new instrument was loading
576
577 * LSCP server:
578 - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
579 react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
580 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
581 - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
582 react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
583 Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
584 - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
585 SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
586 - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
587 frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
588 - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
589 KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
590 - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
591 was incorrect
592 - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
593 - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
594 amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
595 be triggered respectively
596 - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
597 amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
598 which will be triggered respectively
599 - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
600 a gigedit file dialog is opened)
601 - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
602 - hard close of all sockets on exit
603 - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
604 driver
605
606 * Bug fixes:
607 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
608 to start instrument loading after another channel
609 - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
610 instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
611 - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
612 instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
613 - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
614 - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
615 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
616 GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
617 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
618 GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
619 - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
620 - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
621 - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
622 channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
623 - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
624 - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
625 PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
626 - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
627 plugin was unloaded
628 - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
629 problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
630 - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
631 Windows
632
633
634 Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
635
636 * packaging changes:
637 - added autoconf checks for pthread library
638 - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
639 glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
640 - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
641
642 * general changes:
643 - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
644 editor closed
645 - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
646 out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
647 decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
648 order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
649 - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
650 GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
651 the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
652 bugs.
653 - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
654 24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
655 endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
656 unaligned 32bit read and shift
657 - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
658 output via ASIO)
659 - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
660 - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
661 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
662 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
663
664 * AUDIO driver:
665 - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
666
667 * MIDI driver:
668 - added MME Windows MIDI driver
669
670 * LSCP server:
671 - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
672 forward slash path separators instead of backslash
673 (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
674 - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
675 apostrophes as well
676 - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
677 "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
678 "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
679 about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
680 running on
681
682 Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
683
684 * packaging changes:
685 - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
686 API header files anymore
687 - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
688 the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
689 - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
690 capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
691 to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
692 OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
693 - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
694 parameters
695 - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
696 C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
697 are now in global_private.h
698 - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
699 - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
700 - fixed warnings in API doc generation
701
702 * general changes:
703 - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
704 flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
705 (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
706 (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
707 loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
708 messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
709 strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
710 instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
711 quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
712 respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
713 global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
714 dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
715 the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
716 MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
717 a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
718 drumkits is possible
719 - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
720 MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
721 - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
722 due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
723 dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
724 - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
725 output channels for being processed by external effect processors
726 (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
727 controllers
728 - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
729 - Implemented new, improved notification system
730 - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
731 (patch by Toshi Nagata)
732 - implemented instruments database
733 - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
734 - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
735 within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
736 you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
737 startup, added a new LSCP command:
738 "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
739 to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
740 given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
741 time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
742 - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
743 in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
744 without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
745 wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
746 - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
747 policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
748 thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
749 threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
750 setting their own policy and priority
751 - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
752 main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
753 its output
754 - fixed some minor memory leaks
755 - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
756 enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
757 - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
758 register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
759 - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
760
761 * MIDI driver:
762 - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
763
764 * audio driver:
765 - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
766 parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
767 (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
768
769 * Gigasampler format engine:
770 - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
771 die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
772 voice starvation for some gigs)
773 - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
774 - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
775 playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
776 command
777 - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
778 - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
779 - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
780 above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
781 even if sustain is 100%
782 - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
783 noises or crashes
784 - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
785 - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
786 supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
787 - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
788 instead of a fix value
789 - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
790 127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
791 changed
792
793 * LSCP server:
794 - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
795 (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
796 - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
797 (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
798 - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
799 sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
800 \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
801 code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
802 - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
803 least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
804 "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
805 "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
806 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
807 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
808 "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
809 "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
810 - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
811 occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
812 character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
813 - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
814 settings
815 - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
816 of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
817 (fixes #57)
818
819 * Bug fixes:
820 - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
821 - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
822 channel audio output device"
823 - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
824 on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
825 - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
826 device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
827 to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
828 - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
829 the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
830 unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
831 - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
832 - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
833 channel changes
834 - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
835 audio output channels and MIDI input ports
836 - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
837 an audio output device
838 - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
839
840 * test cases:
841 - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
842
843 Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
844
845 * packaging changes:
846 - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
847 to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
848 to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
849 - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
850 applications to link against liblinuxsampler
851 - liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
852 (Doxygen required)
853 - added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
854 implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
855 di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
856 with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
857 configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
858 - do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user already
859 provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)
860 - added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off MIDI
861 messages
862 - added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and
863 MIDI drivers
864 - fixed automatic GCC CPU switch detection on PPC
865 (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)
866
867 * Gigasampler format engine:
868 - extensive synthesis optimization
869 (reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s), removed synthesis parameter
870 prerendering and the synthesis parameter matrix in general, splitting
871 each audio fragment into subfragments now where each subfragment uses
872 constant pitch and filter coefficients. The volume coefficient is
873 linearly interpolated inside a subfragment, unless
874 --disable-interpolate-volume is set.)
875 - fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters
876 - improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
877 following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
878 controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
879 curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now scales
880 cutoff frequency instead of resonance.
881 - added support for gig parameter Resonance.
882 - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
883 - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
884 which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
885 - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
886 accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
887 ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
888 time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
889 - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
890 - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
891 - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
892 all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
893 altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
894 mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
895 - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
896 parameter) and crossfade
897 - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
898 parameter
899 - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
900 messages
901 - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
902 instead of the wave chunk
903 - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
904 not equal to a power of two
905 - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
906 accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
907 and lowpass turbo.
908 - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
909 16 bits anymore
910 - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
911 aftertouch)
912 - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
913 amplifying from 0)
914
915 * LSCP server:
916 - fixed application exit on broken pipe error (fixes bug #20)
917 - fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
918 network activity (fixes bug #26)
919 - fixed parser bug which occured on space(s) within device parameters
920 (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
921
922 * audio driver:
923 - added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)
924
925 * MIDI driver:
926 - fixed legacy sysex code which caused dispatching of MIDI SysEx
927 messages several times instead of once
928 - API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact time stamps
929 for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)
930 - added checks for bad MIDI data
931
932 * linuxsampler application:
933 - show available sampler engine types on startup
934
935 * general changes:
936 - support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
937 LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
938 fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
939 introduced for this, the behavior is the same like on a mixer console
940 (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted). Also added configure option
941 --enable-process-muted-channels which can be used to enable the
942 processing of muted channels.
943 - support for sostenuto pedal
944 - support for monitoring the total number of active voices
945 (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX,
946 SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT)
947 - fixed some memory management errors
948 - fixed some concurrency problems that could lead to crashes when
949 LSCP commands were executed
950 - fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
951 sampler channel (fixes bug #36)
952
953 Version 0.3.3 (15 July 2005)
954
955 * packaging changes:
956 - fixed compilation with gcc 4.0
957
958 * Gigasampler format engine:
959 - LFO preprocessing was performed even though the respective LFO was
960 disabled by the instrument patch (minor efficiency fix)
961 - if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
962 for volume ramp downs in the same fragment (needed for current voice
963 stealing implementation) then simply inform the user with a warning
964 about possible click sounds and reduce the volume ramp down
965 appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device connection
966
967 Version 0.3.2 (24 June 2005)
968
969 * packaging changes:
970 - updated autotools build files to compile on OS X
971 (conditional compilation of CoreMIDI and MidiShare drivers)
972 - hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
973 './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)
974 - fixed 'make dist' rule to include all necessary files
975 - require automake (>= 1.5) for 'make -f Makefile.cvs'
976 (due to 'dist-bzip2' automake option)
977
978 * Gigasampler format engine:
979 - support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response" curves
980 - fine tuning of the EGADSR envelope
981 - volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
982 note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
983 note-off velocity.
984 - revised voice stealing
985 (fixes crash and endless loop caused by voice stealing)
986 - don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change
987 - handle key group conflicts right at the beginning of each fragment
988 instead of when the respective voice is actually launched
989 (fixes undefined behavior if stolen voices belonged to a key group -
990 this case was followed by a "killed voice survived" error message)
991 - fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
992 (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
993 resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)
994 - don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on
995 instrument or audio output device change
996
997 * LSCP server:
998 - fixed some crashes (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)
999 - fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
1000 (e.g. did not notify on volume changes or MIDI program change events)
1001
1002 * linuxsampler application:
1003 - added command line parameters --lscp-addr and --lscp-port to override
1004 default IP address and port of LSCP server
1005
1006 Version 0.3.1 (24 May 2005)
1007
1008 * initial release
