1  Version CVS HEAD (?)  Version SVN trunk (?)
2    
3      * general changes:
4        - 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    
51      * Real-time instrument scripts:
52        - Added method ScriptVM::setExitResultEnabled() which allows to
53          explicitly enable the built-in exit() function to optionally accept
54          one function argument; the value of the passed exit() function
55          argument will then become available by calling
56          VMExecContext::exitResult() after script execution.
57        - 64 bit support for NKSP integer scripts variables (declare $foo).
58        - Variable names, function names and preprocessor condition names must start
59          with a regular character (a-z or A-Z); starting them with a digit or
60          underscore is not allowed.
61        - NKSP parser fix: equal comparison operator "=" and not equal comparison
62          operator "#" must only accept integer operands.
63        - NKSP language: Implemented support for standard units like Hertz, seconds,
64          Bel including support for metric unit prefixes; so one can now e.g.
65          conveniently use numbers in scripts like "5us" meaning "5 microseconds",
66          or e.g. "12kHz" meaning "12 kilo Hertz", or e.g. "-14mdB" meaning
67          "minus 14 Millidecibel", or e.g. "28c" meaning "28 cents" (for tuning).
68        - NKSP language: Introduced "final" operator "!" which is specifically
69          intended for synthesis parameter values to denote that the synthesis
70          parameter value is intended to be the "final" value for that synthesis
71          parameter that should explicitly be used by the engine and thus causing
72          the sampler engine to ignore all other modulation sources for the same
73          synthesis parameter (like e.g. LFO, EG); by simply prefixing a value,
74          variable or formula with this new "!" operator the expression is marked as
75          being "final".
76        - NKSP script editor API: Added support for detecting standard unit tokens
77          and their potential metric prefix token.
78        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number literals and
79          arithmetic operations on them (e.g. "(3.9 + 2.9) / 12.3 - 42.0").
80        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) script
81          variables (declare ~foo).
82        - NKSP language: Added support for NKSP real number (floating point) array
83          script variables (declare ?foo[]).
84        - Built-in script function "message()" accepts now real number argument as
85          well.
86        - Added built-in script function "real_to_int()" and its short hand form
87          "int()" for casting from real number to integer in NKSP scripts.
88        - Added built-in script function "int_to_real()" and its short hand form
89          "real()" for casting from integer to real number in NKSP scripts.
90        - Allow built-in exit() function to potentially accept real number type
91          argument as well.
92        - Built-in script functions may have a different return type depending on
93          the arguments passed to the function.
94        - Built-in script function "abs()" optionally accepts and returns real
95          number.
96        - Built-in script functions "min()" and "max()" optionally accept real
97          number arguments and return real number as result in that case.
98        - NKSP VM API: Allow units and 'final'ness to be returned as result from
99          built-in functions (added methods VMFunction::returnUnitType() and
100          VMFunction::returnsFinal() for that purpose which must be implemented by
101          built-in function implementations).
102        - NKSP language: Allow metric unit prefixes of numeric scalar and array
103          variables to be changed freely at runtime (unlike unit types like Hz etc.
104          which are still sticky, parse-time features of variables which cannot be
105          changed at runtime for the intentional sake of determinism).
106        - NKSP language: 'final' values are prohibited for array variables for now
107          (attempt causes a parsers error).
108        - NKSP language: expressions with unit types (e.g. Hz) are prohibited for
109          conditions of runtime control structures like if(), while(), select()
110          (attempt causes a parser error).
111        - NKSP VM API: Allow built-in functions to perform their own, individual
112          parse time checks of arguments going to be passed to the function at
113          runtime (added method VMFunction::checkArgs() for that purpose).
114        - NKSP language: raise parser warning if only one operand of binary
115          operators (like logical 'or' comparison) contain a 'final' value (because
116          it would always yield in a 'final' result in such cases).
117        - NKSP language: Allow comparison (=, #, <, >, <=, >=) of values with
118          different metric unit prefixes, which will behave as expected (e.g.
119          result of expression '1000us < 2ms' is true).
120        - NKSP language: Allow adding values with different metric unit prefixes
121          (e.g. result of expression '100Hz + 5kHz' is '5100Hz').
122        - NKSP language: Allow subtracting values with different metric unit
123          prefixes (e.g. result of expression '1ms - 20us' is '980us').
124        - NKSP language: Allow multiplying with any metric unit prefixes
125          (e.g. result of expression '2k * 3ms' is '6s'), however multiplications
126          with unit types on both sides (e.g. '2s * 2s') is still prohibited since
127          we don't have any considerable practical use for a term like '4s^2'
128          (hence any attempt multiplying two unit types still causes parser error).
129        - NKSP language: Allow dividing by any metric unit prefixes and allow
130          division of same unit type on both sides (e.g. expression '8kHz / 1000Hz'
131          yields in unit free result '8'). So this is now a way to cast units away
132          e.g. for passing the result to other expressions, certain function calls
133          or variables which are not accepting any units (or that specific unit).
134        - NKSP language: integer arrays and real number arrays can now be converted
135          to strings (e.g. for dumping their content with message() calls for
136          script debugging purposes).
137        - NKSP language: expressions and variables with units are now correctly
138          casted to strings (e.g. with message() calls).
139        - NKSP language: comparing real numbers for equalness (e.g. '~foo = 3.1') or
140          unequalness (e.g. '~foo # 3.1') is now less strict and takes the expected
141          floating point tolerances into account.
142        - NKSP VM API: Added methods VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastInt() and
143          VMScalarNumberExpr::evalCastReal().
144        - NKSP VM API: Added base class 'VMNumberArrayExpr' for classes
145          'VMIntArrayExpr' and 'VMRealArrayExpr'.
146        - NKSP VM API: replaced all unitPrefix() (parse time) methods by
147          unitFactor() (runtime) methods.
148        - Built-in function "exit()" supports now returning units and 'final'ness
149          for test cases.
150        - The following built-in functions support now units as well: "abs()",
151          "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
152          "real_to_int()", "int()", "int_to_real()" and "real()".
153        - Built-in functions "array_equal()", "search()" and "sort()" support now
154          real number arrays (correctly) as well.
155        - Added individual parse time checks of arguments to be passed to built-in
156          functions "random()", "inc()", "dec()", "in_range()", "min()", "max()",
157          "array_equal()" and "search()" specific for their individual purposes.
158        - NKSP VM refactoring: Renamed all methods, functions and classes matching
159          pattern *ScalarNumber* to simply *Number* (that is i.e. classes
160          VMScalarNumberExpr -> VMNumberExpr, ScalarNumberExpr -> NumberExpr,
161          ScalarNumberVariable -> NumberVariable, ScalarNumberBinaryOp ->
162          NumberBinaryOp, VMScalarNumberResultFunction -> VMNumberResultFunction,
163          method VMExpr::asScalarNumberExpr() -> VMExpr::asNumber(), function
164          isScalarNumber() -> isNumber()).
165        - NKSP VM API: Added 4 overridden methods to class VMNumberExpr:
166          evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastInt(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t),
167          evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t), evalCastReal(MetricPrefix_t,MetricPrefix_t)
168          as convenient methods for automatically converting values to expected
169          metric value basis.
170        - Built-in function "wait()" accepts now both integers and real numbers as
171          argument.
172        - NKSP VM API cleanup: Get rid of legacy method
173          VMFunction::argType(vmint iArg) which was already superseded by its new
174          replacement VMFunction::acceptsArgType(vmint iArg, ExprType_t type).
175        - NKSP parser: if wrong argument type was passed to a built-in function and
176          that built-in function accepts more than one data type for the argument,
177          then show all supported data types as parser error message.
178        - Built-in function "play_note()" accepts now real numbers and seconds as
179          unit type as well for its 3rd and 4th function arguments.
180        - The following built-in functions accept now real numbers as well for their
181          2nd function argument: "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_cutoff()",
182          "change_attack()", "change_decay()", "change_release()",
183          "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_attack()", "change_cutoff_decay()",
184          "change_cutoff_sustain()", "change_cutoff_release()",
185          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
186          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()",
187          "change_pan_time()", "fade_in()", "fade_out()", "change_play_pos()".
188        - Fixed built-in function "change_play_pos()" not having accepted metric
189          prefixes at all.
190        - Fixed the following built-in functions having misinterpreted values given
191          with unit type (for their 2nd argument) as if they were relative values
192          (that is as if they were passed without a unit type): "change_attack()",
193          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
194          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()".
195        - Fixed the following built-in functions having applied completely wrong
196          'final' values: "change_sustain()", "change_cutoff_sustain()" (since the
197          respective EGs being their modulation sink assume uint data type with
198          value range 0..1000 instead of 0.0..1.0.
199        - Added individual parse-time checks of function arguments for the following
200          built-in functions: "play_note()", "note_off()", "set_event_mark()",
201          "delete_event_mark()", "by_marks()", "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
202          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
203          "change_cutoff_decay()", "change_cutoff_release()",
204          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
205          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()", "change_vol_time()", "change_tune_time()" and
206          "change_pan_time()".
207        - Don't abort function call if unit type was used and at the same time
208          'final' operator was omitted for the primary value argument of the
209          following built-in functions: "change_cutoff()", "change_attack()",
210          "change_decay()", "change_release()", "change_cutoff_attack()",
211          "change_cutoff_decay()", "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()", instead imply 'final'ness at runtime and raise an
215          appropriate parser warning at parse time.
216        - Added built-in real number functions "round()", "ceil()", "floor()",
217          "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()", "sin()",
218          "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
219        - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_PI".
220        - Added built-in script real number constant "~NI_MATH_E".
221        - NKSP language: Allow unary '+' operator.
222        - Added built-in script functions "msb()" and "lsb()".
223        - NKSP language: Added support for RPN event handler
224          ("on rpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
225        - NKSP language: Added support for NRPN event handler
226          ("on nrpn ... end on" in instrument scripts).
227        - Added built-in read-only variables "$RPN_ADDRESS" and "$RPN_VALUE" which
228          may be read from the new RPN/NRPN script handlers to get the (N)RPN
229          parameter that had been changed and its new value.
230        - Added built-in const variables "$NI_CB_TYPE_RPN" and "$NI_CB_TYPE_NRPN"
231          which are identifying the new (N)RPN handlers as such at script runtime.
232        - Implemented built-in script function "set_rpn()".
233        - Implemented built-in script function "set_nrpn()".
234        - Fix: built-in functions returning an array type were broken and caused a
235          crash when the built-in function's (supposed to be array) result value was
236          used by the script VM.
237        - Removed upper value constraint for 2nd argument of built-in functions
238          "change_amp_lfo_freq()", "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()",
239          "change_pitch_lfo_freq()","change_reso()", "change_cutoff()",
240          "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_cutoff_lfo_depth()" and
241          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()", to allow e.g. passing value 2000000 to double
242          the LFO frequency / resonance / cutoff frequency.
243    
244      * test cases:
245        - Fixed compiler errors in test cases.
246        - Updated README for how to compile & run test cases.
247        - Updated test case
248          MutexTest::testDoubleLockStillBlocksConcurrentThread() to latest
249          expected behaviour of the Mutex class implementation (recursive
250          mutex type).
251        - Added test cases for NKSP core language aspects and core built-in
252          functions.
253        - Fixed thread tests segfaulting on Linux.
254        - NKSP: Added real number test cases for built-in functions exit(),
255          int_to_real(), real(), real_to_int() and int(), as well as for the
256          plus, minus and negate language operators.
257        - Added massive amount of NKSP test cases for standard measuring units and
258          'final' operator usage cases.
259        - Added NKSP test cases for (floating point tolerance aware) real number
260          equalness / unequalness comparison.
261        - Added NKSP int array and real array tests for value assignment and
262          initialization of arrays.
263        - Added NKSP test cases for built-in functions "round()", "ceil()",
264          "floor()", "sqrt()", "log()", "log2()", "log10()", "exp()", "pow()",
265          "sin()", "cos()", "tan()", "asin()", "acos()", "atan()".
266        - Added NKSP test cases for unary '+' operator.
267        - Added NKSP test cases for core built-in variables.
268    
269      * GigaStudio/Gigasampler format engine:
270        - LFOTriangleIntMath and LFOTriangleIntAbsMath: Fixed FlipPhase=true
271          behaviour for start_level_mid.
272        - Changed LFO start levels: LFO1 and LFO2 both to mid, LFO3 to max. start
273          level (see discussion "GigaStudio LFO compatibility" on mailing list
274          from 2019-09-26 for details).
275        - Changed default wave form for all 3 LFOs to sine (instead of triangle;
276          see discussion "GigaStudio LFO compatibility" on mailing list from
277          2019-09-26 for details).
278        - Format extension: Added support for different LFO wave forms (currently
279          either sine [default], triangle, saw or square).
280        - Format extension: Added support for LFO phase displacement (0°..360°).
281        - Format extension: Added support for flipping LFO polarity on LFO 3
282          (in the original gig format this was only available for LFO 1 and LFO 2).
283        - Format extension: Support for additional filter types:
284          lowpass 1/2/4/6-pole, highpass 1/2/4/6-pole, bandpass 2-pole,
285          bandreject 2-pole.
286        - Fixd potential crash with polynomial interpolator and max. pitch.
287    
288      * SFZ format engine:
289        - Fixed support for regions with loccN/hiccN conditions on more than one
290          MIDI controller.
291    
292      * Benchmarks:
293        - Fixed benchmarks/triang.cpp falsely having favoured "int math abs"
294          algorithm (since result of 2nd run was not accumulated).
295        - Added benchmark for saw wave (benchmarks/saw.cpp).
296        - Added benchmark for sine wave (benchmarks/sine.cpp).
297        - Added benchmark for square wave (benchmarks/square.cpp).
298        - Increased amount of benchmarks runs by factor 6 to achieve benchmark times
299          which are large enough on modern systems.
300    
301    Version 2.1.1 (27 Jul 2019)
302    
303      * Real-time instrument scripts:
304        - Fixed behavior of built-in NKSP functions change_sustain(),
305          change_cutoff_attack(), change_cutoff_decay(), change_cutoff_sustain()
306          and change_cutoff_release().
307    
308      * general changes:
309        - Only play release trigger samples on sustain pedal up if this behaviour
310          was explicitly requested by the instrument (otherwise only on note-off).
311        - Fixed compiler warnings.
312        - Fixed compilation error when cross-compiling to Mac.
313        - FX Sends: Provide more useful error messages on routing problems
314          (see bug #169).
315        - LSCP doc: Be more clear describing the two distinct approaches
316          of using external vs. internal effects (see bug #169).
317        - "optional" class: Fixed comparison operators.
318    
319      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
320        - Format extension: If requested by instrument then don't play release
321          trigger sample on note-off events.
322    
323      * SFZ format engine:
324        - Fixed memory leak when releasing samples
325          (fixes bug #307, patch by Jacek Roszkowski)
326        - Fixed potential crash when a sample is shared by more than one region
327          (fixes bug #308, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
328        - Opcode 'sample': Added support for built-in sample '*silence'
329          (fixes bug #310, patch by Jacek Roszkowski).
330    
331    Version 2.1.0 (25 Nov 2017)
332    
333      * SFZ format engine:
334        - added support for <global>, <master> and #define (patch by Alby M)
335        - Removed code duplication in SFZ file loading code.
336        - Added support for sfz extension opcode 'script' which may be used to
337          load real-time instrument script file (NKSP script language).
338        - Implemented opcode set_ccN (initial patch by Giovanni Senatore).
339        - Fixed unintended volume fade-in of voices under certain conditions.
340        - sfz parser: allow missing space between header and opcode
341    
342      * Gigasampler/GigaStudio format engine:
343        - Fixed clicks and pumping noise with Lowpass Turbo filter on very low
344          cutoff settings.
345        - Got rid of resembling an ancient GSt misbehavior which did not pitch at
346          all if an up-pitch of more than 40 semi tones was requested (I don't
347          think there is any stock gig sound that requires this behavior to
348          resemble its original sound).
349        - Added support for controlling whether the individual EGADSR stages may
350          be aborted (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4
351          format).
352    
353      * general changes:
354        - fixed printf type errors (mostly in debug messages)
355        - use unique_ptr instead of auto_ptr when building with C++11
356        - Added RTAVLTree class which is a real-time safe ordered multi-map, thus
357          allowing to sort data efficiently in real-time safe manner.
358        - RTList class: added methods for moving/inserting elements to arbitrary
359          position within a list.
360        - RTList class: added method fromPtr() for creating an Iterator object from
361          a raw element pointer.
362        - Attempt to partly fix resetting engine channels vs. resetting engine, an
363          overall cleanup of the Reset*(), ConnectAudioDevice(),
364          DisconnectAudioDevice() API methods would still be desirable though,
365          because the current situation is still inconsistent and error prone.
366        - Active voices are now internally grouped to "Note" objects, instead of
367          being directly assigned to a keyboard key. This allows more fine graded
368          processing of voices, which is i.e. required for certain instrument
369          script features.
370        - Fix: Release trigger voices were not spawned on sustain pedal up
371          (CC #64) events.
372        - Fix: Release trigger voices can now also distinguish correctly between
373          note-off and sustain pedal up events.
374        - All engines: Increased ramp speed of volume smoother and pan smoother
375          (while slow rate of crossfade smoother is preserved) to allow quick
376          volume and pan changes by instrument scripts for instance.
377        - gig/sf2/sfz: Fixed aftertouch channel pressure events being processed
378          properly and thus were ignored for certain uses.
379        - Added new C++ API method
380          VirtualMidiDevice::SendChannelPressureToSampler().
381        - windows, 32-bit: fixed potential crashes by making sure the stack in
382          sub threads is 16-byte aligned
383        - fixed numerous compiler warnings
384        - Fixed invalid (note-on) event ID being assigned to new Note objects.
385        - Revised fundamental C++ classes "Thread", "Mutex" and "Condition" which
386          fixes potential undefined behavior.
387        - Fixed Note object leak when triggering notes on keys which did not
388          have a valid sample mapped (fixes bug #252).
389        - Fixed compilation errors when compiling with CONFIG_DEVMODE enabled.
390        - linuxsampler binary fix: option --create-instruments-db ignored
391          subsequent optional argument due to glibc's implementation oddity
392          which expects a "=" sign, but no space between them.
393    
394      * packaging changes:
395        - removed unnecessary dependency to libuuid
396          (originated by libgig's usage of it)
397        - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
398          auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
399        - Debian: Fixed packaging error about invalid "Source-Version"
400          substitution variable.
401        - Debian: Raised Debian compatibility level to Debian 9 "Stretch".
402        - Debian: Added build dependency to libsqlite3-dev for building
403          linuxsampler with instruments DB support.
404    
405      * Real-time instrument scripts:
406        - Implemented scheduler for delayed MIDI events and for suspended scripts.
407        - Built-in script function "wait()": implemented support for function's
408          "duration-us" argument, thus scripts using this function are now
409          correctly resumed after the requested amount of microseconds.
410        - Built-in script function "play_note()": implemented support for
411          function's "duration-us" argument, thus notes triggered with this
412          argument are now correctly released after the requested amount of
413          microseconds.
414        - Fix: script events were not cleared when engine channel was reset,
415          potentially causing undefined behavior.
416        - Fixed crash which happened when trying to reference an undeclared
417          variable.
418        - Built-in script function "play_note()": Added support for passing
419          special value -1 for "duration-us" argument, which will cause the
420          triggered note to be released once the original note was released.
421        - Instrument script classes now exported with the liblinuxsampler C++ API.
422        - Added new API method ScriptVM::syntaxHighlighting() which provides
423          a convenient syntax highlighting backend for external instrument
424          script editor applications.
425        - Added new C++ API class "ScriptVMFactory".
426        - Extended parser issues to provide not only first line and first
427          column, but also last line and last column of issue (thus marking
428          the precise span of the issue within the source code).
429        - Reload script automatically after being modified by an instrument
430          editor.
431        - NKSP language grammar correction: allow empty event handler bodies
432          like "on note end on".
433        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol()".
434        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune()".
435        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pan()".
436        - Implemented built-in script function "change_cutoff()".
437        - Implemented built-in script function "change_reso()".
438        - Implemented built-in script function "event_status()".
439        - Added built-in script constants "$EVENT_STATUS_INACTIVE" and
440          "$EVENT_STATUS_NOTE_QUEUE" both for being used as flags for
441          "event_status()" function.
442        - NKSP language: Added support for bitwise operators ".or.", ".and."
443          and ".not.".
444        - NKSP language scanner: Fixed IDs matching to require at least one
445          character (i.e. when matching function names or variable names).
446        - NKSP language scanner: disabled unusued rules.
447        - Fixed behavior of play_note() and note_off() functions which must
448          be distinguished engine internally from "real" MIDI note on/off
449          events in order to avoid misbehaviors like hanging notes.
450        - Implemented built-in script variable "$KSP_TIMER".
451        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_REAL_TIMER".
452        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_PERF_TIMER".
453        - Implemented built-in script variable "$ENGINE_UPTIME".
454        - Implemented built-in script function "inc()".
455        - Implemented built-in script function "dec()".
456        - NKSP language fix: division expressions were evaluated too often.
457        - NKSP language fix: string concatenation operator was right
458          associative instead of left (to right).
459        - NKSP language correction: allow empty statements in entire language
460          (i.e. "if end if").
461        - Implemented built-in script function "stop_wait()".
462        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_ID".
463        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NI_CALLBACK_TYPE".
464        - Implemented built-in script variable "$NKSP_IGNORE_WAIT".
465        - Added support for read-only built-in variables (respectively
466          handled by the script parser).
467        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_INIT".
468        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_NOTE".
469        - Added built-in script constant "$NI_CB_TYPE_RELEASE".

473        - Implemented built-in script function "change_decay()".
474        - Implemented built-in script function "change_release()".
475        - Fixed all change_*() built-in script functions to apply their
476          synthesis parameter changes immediately in case the respective note
477          was triggered at the same time, instead of scheduling the parameter
478          change, especially because it would cause some parameter types's
479          changes either to be ramped (i.e. change_vol()) or other types even
480          to have not effect at all (i.e. change_attack()).
481        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_left()".
482        - Implemented built-in script function "sh_right()".
483        - Implemented built-in script function "min()".
484        - Implemented built-in script function "max()".
485        - NKSP Fix: "init" event handler was not always executed when a script
486          was loaded.
487        - NKSP built-in wait() script function: abort script execution if
488          a negative or zero wait time was passed as argument (since this is
489          a common indication of a bug either of the script or even of the
490          engine, which could lead to RT instability or even worse).
491        - ScriptVM: Implemented automatic suspension of RT safety
492          threatening scripts.
493        - Provide more user friendly error messages on syntax errors.
494        - Fixed NKSP parser warning "Not a statement" when assigning an
495          initializer list to an array variable.
496        - Implemented built-in script array variable "%ALL_EVENTS".
497        - Implemented built-in script function "in_range()".
498        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_depth()".
499        - Implemented built-in script function "change_amp_lfo_freq()".
500        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_depth()".
501        - Implemented built-in script function "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
502        - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_time()".
503        - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_time()".
504        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_in()".
505        - Implemented built-in script function "fade_out()".
506        - Fixed acceptance of wrong data type of parameters passed to built-in
507          script functions "change_vol()", "change_tune()", "change_pan()",
508          "change_cutoff()", "change_reso()", "change_attack()", "change_decay()",
509          "change_release()", "change_amp_lfo_depth()", "change_amp_lfo_freq()",
510          "change_pitch_lfo_depth()" and "change_pitch_lfo_freq()".
511        - Added built-in script function "get_event_par()" and implemented some
512          of its possible parameter selections.
513        - Added built-in script function "set_event_par()" and implemented some
514          of its possible parameter selections.
515        - Fixed a bunch of scheduler time related bugs.
516        - Fixed polyphonic variables not being reset to zero after usage.
517        - Built-in "ignore_event()" function: argument is now optional, like with
518          built-in function "ignore_controller()".
519        - Implemented built-in script function "change_velo()".
520        - Implemented built-in script function "change_note()".
521        - Adjusted behavior of "change_vol()" and "change_tune()" to a more
522          intuitive behavior if used in combination with "change_vol_time()" or
523          "change_tune_time()" respectively: now tuning/volume changes are only
524          assigned (without delay) immediately to a new note if the respective
525          timing function has not been called before, otherwise the volume/tuning
526          changes are automatically faded (before, only the event's time stamp was
527          relevant).
528         - Implemented built-in script function "array_equal()".
529         - Implemented built-in script function "search()".
530         - Implemented built-in script function "sort()".
531         - NKSP Fix: Never suspend "init" event handlers.
532         - Implemented built-in script function "same_region()" (currently only
533           available for gig format engine).
534         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_LINEAR".
535         - Added built-in script constant "$NKSP_EASE_IN_EASE_OUT".
536         - Implemented built-in script function "change_vol_curve()".
537         - Implemented built-in script function "change_tune_curve()".
538         - built-in "play_note()" function now supports a sample playback start
539           offset with argument 3, where special value -1 means to use the regular
540           sample offset as defined by the instrument file.
541         - Built-in array variable %KEY_DOWN[] is now a read-only variable.
542         - Built-in variable $EVENT_NOTE is now a read-only variable.
543         - Built-in variable $EVENT_VELOCITY is now a read-only variable.
544         - built-in "play_note()" function now accepts -2 for its fourth argument
545           (note duration) which means the life time of the note shall be sticked
546           to the requested note number of argument 1.
547         - Fix: built-in "play_note()" function now returns 0 as result value if
548           -1 was passed for its fourth argument (note duration) and the respective
549           parent note is already gone.
550        - Implemented built-in script function "change_play_pos()".
551        - NKSP language: Added support for user declared const array variables.
552        - NKSP language: Raise parser warning if array variable is accessed with
553          an index that exceeds the array's size.
554        - NKSP language fix: Unknown characters were not handled correctly.
555        - NKSP language: Added support for "synchronized .. end synchronized"
556          code blocks.
557        - Implemented built-in script function "abort()" which allows to abort
558          another script handler by passing its callback ID.
559        - Fixed potential memory access bug and potential undefined behavior of
560          "init" event handlers.
561        - Print a time stamp along to each call of built-in function "message()".
562        - ScriptVM API: Added VMParserContext::preprocessorComments() which allows
563          to retrieve all code blocks filtered out by the preprocessor.
564        - Added built-in script function "fork()".
565        - Added built-in array variable %NKSP_CALLBACK_CHILD_ID[].
566        - Added built-in variable $NKSP_CALLBACK_PARENT_ID.
567        - Fixed potential crash when accessing dynamic built-in array variables.
568        - Added built-in script function "callback_status()".
569        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_TERMINATED.
570        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_QUEUE.
571        - Added built-in constant $CALLBACK_STATUS_RUNNING.
572        - Removed max. value limitation of built-in functions "change_attack()",
573          "change_decay()" and "change_release()" to i.e. allow passing 2000000
574          for doubling the respective time.
575        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: Fixed app termination due
576          to a lexer start condition stack underrun.
577        - NKSP preprocessor: Fixed wrong behavior on nested USE_CODE_IF() and
578          USE_CODE_IF_NOT() preprocessor statements.
579        - NKSP: Added built-in preprocessor condition NKSP_NO_MESSAGE, which
580          can be set to disable all subsequent built-in "message()" function calls
581          on preprocessor level.
582        - Implemented built-in script function "change_sustain()".
583        - NKSP script editor syntax highlighting API: catch all fatal lexer errors,
584          to avoid the editor app to crash on ill-formed text input.
585        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_time()".
586        - Added built-in script function "change_pan_curve()".
587        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_attack()".
588        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_decay()".
589        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_sustain()".

592        - Added built-in script function "change_cutoff_lfo_freq()".
593    
594      * Instruments DB:
595        - Fixed memory access bug of general DB access code which lead to
596          undefined behavior.
597        - Cleanup of instruments DB file creation and opening code.
598        - The instrument DB path of linuxsampler's --create-instruments-db argument
599          is now optional, if it is missing, then a default location is used.
600        - Added support for scanning SFZ (.sfz) files.
601        - Added support for scanning Sound Font (.sf2) files.
602        - Fixed undefined DB transaction behavior.
603    
604    Version 2.0.0 (15 July 2015)
605    
606      * packaging changes:
607        - fixed building with newer MinGW-w64
608        - Mac OS X: support the new dir for Core Audio SDK
609        - Mac OS X: fixed building outside source directory
610        - made sure all source files for hostplugins are included when
611          doing "make dist"
612        - removed empty directories left from the cvs to svn migration
613        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.6.1
614        - another "make dist" fix, for the LV2 plugin
615        - made --enable-pthread-testcancel default on Mac OS X
616        - minor Makefile fix for building lscpparser when build and source
617          directories are separate
618        - Mac OS X: made it possible to specify plugin installation dir to
619          configure
620        - Mac OS X: Makefile fix for the install-strip target
621        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.7
622        - fixed configure script error with old autoconf versions
623        - lsatomic.h: use gcc provided atomic functions if building with
624          gcc 4.7 and C++11
625        - modernized configure script
626        - fixed linkage error when building with
627          LDFLAGS="-Wl,--no-undefined" (#190)
628        - fixed compilation with Clang 3.2
629        - removed usage of deprecated Automake variable INCLUDES

631        - build fix: ChangeFlagRelaxed.h was missing in makefile
632        - build fix: libsndfile compiler flags were missing in some
633          makefiles

635        - Mac OS X: added temporary hack allowing to spawn gigedit as callback
636          on the process's main thread
637        - fixed build error on newer MinGW
638        - support building with older jack versions
639        - support building with spaces in vst sdk path
640        - enabled automake 'subdir-objects' option and moved external
641          source references (vst, au, asio) from makefiles to cpp files,
642          in order to get rid of warnings from automake 1.14
643    
644      * general changes:
645        - Refactoring: moved the independent code from
646          the Gigasampler format engine to base classes
647        - command line option '--profile' is currently disabled, since the
648          respective profiling code is currently broken
649        - Introduced support for optional environment variable
650          "LINUXSAMPLER_PLUGIN_DIR" which allows to override the directory
651          where the sampler shall look for instrument editor plugins
652          (patch by Luis Garrido, slightly modified).
653        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ArrH which allows to set volume per note
654        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1CrrH which allows to set pan per note
655        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1DrrH which allows to set reverb send per
656          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
657          the 1st effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
658          effect type is)
659        - implemented Roland GS NRPN 1ErrH which allows to set chorus send per
660          note (in this implementation of the sampler its simply hard routed to
661          the 2nd effect send of the sampler channel, no matter what the actual
662          effect type is)
663        - implemented support for internal LADSPA effects
664        - raised limit of program change queue from 100 to 512
665          (as suggested by Alex Stone)
666        - implemented sine LFO, pulse LFO and saw LFO
667        - experimental support for per voice equalization
668        - added command line option --exec-after-init
669        - Introduced new C++ API method:
670          EngineChannel::InstrumentFileName(int index)
671          allowing to retrieve the whole list of files used for the loaded
672          instrument on an engine channel (a.k.a. part). Some GigaStudio
673          instruments for example are splitted over several files like
674          "Foo.gig", "Foo.gx01", "Foo.gx02", ...
675        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxVoices().
676        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::GetGlobalMaxStreams().
677        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxVoices().
678        - Added new C++ API method Sampler::SetGlobalMaxStreams().
679        - Various "const" and "restrict" optimizations.
680        - all engines: add pan CC value to instrument pan parameter before
681          applying panning, instead of using two separate pan functions in
682          series (#182)
683        - added a lock guard class for exception safe mutex handling and
684          used it everywhere appropriate
685        - Immediately apply scale tuning changes to active voices.
686        - Exposed scale tuning to C++ API (along to the already existing standard
687          SysEx way).
688        - lsatomic.h fixes: seq_cst load and store were suboptimal for x86
689          and broken for ppc64. (Seq_cst loads and stores are actually not
690          used in LS, so the bug wasn't noticable.)
691        - lsatomic.h: added ARMv7 support
692        - Added support for multiple MIDI input ports per sampler channel (and
693          added various new C++ methods for this new feature / design change, old
694          C++ API methods for managing SamplerChannel's MIDI inputs are now marked
695          as deprecated but are still there and should provide full behavior
696          backward compatibility).
697        - AbstractEngine::GSChecksum(): don't allocate memory on the stack (was
698          unsafe and caused compilation error with clang 2.x).
699        - Bugfix: only process the latest MIDI program change event.
700        - Introducing the LSCP shell, which provides convenient control of the
701          sampler from the command line by providing LSCP aware features.
702        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for program change.
703        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for bank select (MSB & LSB).
704        - VirtualMidiDevice: Added support for pitch bend.
705        - Aftertouch: extended API to explicitly handle channel pressure and

707          supported at all, and channel pressure was rerouted as CC128 but not
708          used so far).

710          code is shared by all sampler engine implemementations, however only the
711          gig file format currently provides support for storing instrument scripts
712          (as LinuxSampler extension to the original GigaStudio 4 format).

911        - VST bugfix: If the host called resume() before and after
912          changing sample rate or block size, the number of channels was
913          incorrectly set to two. This caused silence in Cubase 5.
914        - save engine type (gig, sfz or sf2) in plugin state
915        - VST: when opening Fantasia, look for both 32 and 64 bit Java on

957        - MME: removed compiler warning
958        - CoreMIDI: implemented driver specific port parameter "CORE_MIDI_BINDINGS",

971        - MME bugfix: driver wasn't closed properly
972        - CoreMIDI: automatically connect to all input sources by default (driver
973          parameter "AUTO_BIND").

975        - CoreMIDI: fixed minor memory leak
976    
977      * audio driver:

1033        - Added support for browsing command history with up / down keys.
1034        - Show all possible next symbols immediately right to the current command
1035          line while typing (no double tab required for this feature, as it would
1036          be the case in other shells).
1037        - Added support for moving cursor left/right with arrow keys.
1038        - Added support for built-in LSCP reference documentation, which will
1039          automatically show the relevant LSCP reference section on screen as soon
1040          as one specific LSCP command was detected while typing on the command

1086        - Built-in script functions "ignore_event()", "note_off()" and
1087          "gig_set_dim_zone()" now also accept an array of event IDs as argument
1088          (i.e. return value of new script function "by_marks()").
1089        - Pass/preserve polyphonic variable data from respective "note" event
1090          handler to "release" event handler.

1095        - minor valgrind fixes
1096        - fixed crash which occurred when changing an already deployed sampler
1097          channel to a different engine type
1098        - fixed crash when deleting a sampler channel or changing engine
1099          type while an instrument load was in progress
1100        - bugfix: playing a note while changing the instrument could cause
1101          a crash, or give "Handing back unknown region" error messages
1102        - bugfix: calling SET VOICES (which Fantasia does on start and
1103          refresh) could cause instruments to be unloaded
1104        - Mac OS X: fixed name collision of enum in EffectControl and
1105          wrong name of destructor in AudioOutputDeviceCoreAudio.cpp
1106        - Mac OS X: fixed hanging threads
1107        - Windows: disabled the previous thread fix on non-Mac systems, as
1108          it caused hanging threads on Windows
1109        - Fixed possible crashes due to corrupted MIDI/audio device list
1110          after MIDI/audio device creation failure
1111        - When creating MIDI instrument map entries with "PERSISTENT" type, the
1112          instruments were uselessly precached with zero samples, however it still
1113          took the full preloading time and on 1st program change the respective
1114          instrument was completely reloaded again.
1115        - fixed handling of rapid bank select and program change messages
1116          sent to the same sampler channel (patch from the Open Octave
1117          project, slightly adjusted)
1118        - fixed crash when trying to create an effect instance with controls
1119          which min and/or max values depend on the sample rate

1121        - bugfix: LADSPA_PATH was not evaluated correctly when containing
1122          multiple paths (#165)
1123        - thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
1124        - bugfix: instrument loading crashed for sfz and sf2 in Ardour
1125          (#176)
1126        - more thread safety fixes for the instrument loading thread
1127        - sfz/sf2 engine: fixed crash when using small audio fragment size
1128        - Mac OS X: fixed crash when unloading plugin on 10.7 and later
1129        - Mac OS X: fixed process hang when unloading 32-bit plugin (bug
1130          introduced in previous fix)
1131        - fixed crash when a channel received a program change while
1132          playing a note in a key group
1133        - fixed erroneous error message piping in VoiceBase.h
1134          (labelled "Disk stream not available in time")
1135        - Update effects on sample rate & period size changes (to avoid
1136          crashes and noise on such transitions).
1137        - ignore missing LADSPA paths without ignoring valid LADSPA paths
1138          (fixes #208)
1139        - Fixed bug in LSCP grammar definition which caused a statement like
1140          "GET SERVER INFOasdf\n" to be accepted as valid statement (was so far
1141          practically irrelevant, however it caused problems with the new LSCP
1142          shell's auto completion feature).
1143        - Fixed MIDI program change messages being ignored if quickly executed
1144          after each other (fixes #231).
1145    
1146    Version 1.0.0 (31 July 2009)
1147    
1148    * packaging changes:    * packaging changes:
1149        - autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
1150          causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
1151          "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
1152          (patch by Alexis Ballier)
1153        - fixed compilation with gcc 4.3
1154        - fixes for building on OS X (thanks to Ebrahim Mayat for testing)
1155        - fixed configure so it detects x86_64 (#107)
1156        - fixes for building with newer MinGW versions
1157        - fix for building with bison 2.4 (#111)
1158        - fixed building with libgig installed in a non-standard directory
1159        - minor fix in configure for mmsystem.h detection on MinGW
1160        - Windows: look for editor plugins and Fantasia using base
1161          directory of liblinuxsampler dll (look in the same directory and one
1162          directory above)
1163        - configure script fix: removed unconditional use of SSE
1164        - fixed building with sqlite installed in a non-standard directory
1165        - when cross-compiling, don't try to create instruments.db
1166        - fix for new mingw-w64 version, which has usleep
1167    
1168      * general changes:
1169        - bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
1170          load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
1171          (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)
1172        - fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
1173          plugin DLL on Windows systems failed
1174        - fixed memory leaks that occurred when liblinuxsampler was unloaded
1175        - optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
1176          unnecessarily long after an update
1177        - added support for notifying instrument editors on note-on / note-off
1178          events (e.g. to highlight the pressed keys on the virtual keyboard
1179          of gigedit)
1180        - added support for triggering notes by instrument editors (see above)
1181        - be verbose on DLL load errors (on Linux)
1182        - fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
1183          is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math
1184          implementation, which is usually faster)
1185        - fixes for audio drivers with varying buffer sizes
1186        - experimental support for running LinuxSampler as a DSSI, LV2 and
1187          VST plugin
1188        - notification events for stream/voice count statistics are now sent
1189          only when there are actual changes
1190        - added memory ordering constraints to improve stability on
1191          multi-core and multi-cpu systems
1192        - maximum voices and disk streams can now be altered at runtime
1193        - fixed CPU feature detection on x86_64 (maybe fixes #108)
1194        - automatic stacktrace mechanism is now turned off by default and can
1195          be switched on by command line option "--stacktrace" (the automatic
1196          stacktrace mechanism seems to be broken on most systems at the moment)
1197        - C++ API method InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor() now returns
1198          a pointer to the launched InstrumentEditor object
1199        - added optional 3rd party user data parameter for following
1200          liblinuxsampler C++ API methods: InstrumentEditor::Main(),
1201          InstrumentEditor::Launch(),
1202          InstrumentManager::LaunchInstrumentEditor()
1203        - theoretical fix: made SynchronizedConfig follow C++0x memory
1204          model more strictly
1205        - fixes for using large audio device buffers
1206        - Windows: add the installation directory to the DLL search path
1207          when loading an editor plugin (solves problems with VST and
1208          gigedit on systems with other GTK versions installed)
1209        - updated linuxsampler man page
1210    
1211      * audio driver:
1212        - removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
1213          max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers
1214        - JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter "SAMPLERATE" as
1215          opposed to the LSCP specs
1216        - bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
1217          reflected the wrong value
1218        - fixed a memory management bug in ASIO driver
1219        - Makefile fix: JACK_CFLAGS wasn't used
1220        - JACK: use jack_client_open instead of the deprecated
1221          jack_client_new
1222        - added (experimental) CoreAudio driver
1223        - applied old fixes to the ASIO driver that were included in the
1224          previous binary release but accidentally never committed to CVS
1225          (fixes #117)
1226        - fixes for ASIO on mingw-w64 (iasio wrapper is not needed on
1227          win64)
1228        - VST: added support for sample rate and buffer size changes
1229        - VST: close editor (Fantasia) when the VST is removed
1230        - VST: avoid opening Fantasia more than once for each VST instance
1231        - VST: export main function as "main" on Linux too (fix for
1232          energyXT)
1233        - VST: changed number of output channels from one stereo to 16
1234          stereo
1235        - added channel routing, fxsends and midi maps to the settings
1236          stored in the plugin state
1237        - performance optimization of AudioChannel::MixTo() and
1238          AudioChannel::CopyTo() methods using GCC vector exensions
1239          (if available)
1240        - ASIO fixes: avoid initializing the device twice, avoid throwing
1241          exception when getting parameters from a disconnected device
1242    
1243      * MIDI driver:
1244        - added JACK MIDI driver
1245        - dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
1246          want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
1247          input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
1248        - bugfix: pitch bend wasn't working with JackMidi, VST, LV2, MME,
1249          CoreMidi or AU
1250        - fixed mingw-w64 compilation error in MME driver
1251        - made program change handling in MIDI thread real-time safe by
1252          moving the logic to a non-RT thread
1253        - fixed minor memory leak in ALSA driver
1254    
1255      * instruments database:
1256        - avoid time consuming samples scanning when adding instruments
1257          to the instruments database
1258        - added support for handling lost files in the instruments database
1259        - Implemented option for adding instruments in separate directories
1260          in the instruments database
1261          (patch by Chris Cherrett & Andrew Williams, a bit adjusted)
1262        - work-around for missing fnmatch function on Windows to make
1263          instrument database compilable
1264        - added instrument database support on Windows
1265          works with both standalone mode and VST plugin.
1266          the instruments DB file is located in
1267          %USERPROFILE%\.linuxsampler\instruments.db which allows different
1268          databases for each windows user
1269          if no DB is present it automatically creates the .linuxsampler subdir
1270          and then creates an empty DB
1271        - fixed recursive import, which was broken on Windows
1272    
1273      * Gigasampler format engine:
1274        - fixed a memory leak that could happen when a channel was deleted
1275          while notes were playing
1276        - made it possible to load an instrument even if the audio thread
1277          isn't running
1278        - added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
1279          enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples
1280        - minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
1281          respective FX send MIDI controller was used
1282        - added support for GM global device volume SysEx message
1283          (can be selected at compile time to either apply globally to the
1284          whole sampler [default] or only to the sampler channels that are
1285          connected to the respective MIDI input port the SysEx message arrived
1286          on)
1287        - bugfix: notes triggered at position 0 in the audio buffer were
1288          sometimes wrongly killed in the same buffer, causing no sound to
1289          be played
1290        - added support for chromatic / drumkit mode Roland GS Sysex message
1291          which is usally used to switch a part between chromatic sounds and
1292          drumkit sounds (as opposed to their common default setting of MIDI
1293          part 10 being a drumkit part and all other ones chromatic parts), in
1294          LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
1295          defined for the sampler
1296        - made it possible to create multiple sample channels even if the
1297          audio thread isn't running
1298        - fixed crash when removing channel with active voices (#116)
1299        - bugfix: on sample reference changes (instrument editor), only
1300          un-cache the respective sample if it's really not used by any
1301          sampler engine anymore
1302        - re-cache samples in case they were changed by an instrument editor,
1303          e.g. when a sample was added while playing (#82)
1304        - fixed hanging notes which occured when note-off event had the exact
1305          same time stamp as the voice's note-on event and occured both in the
1306          same audio fragment cycle (fixes bug #112)
1307        - added support for the "fine tune" and "pitch bend range"
1308          instrument-level gig parameters
1309        - fixed minor artifacts in pitch bend handling
1310        - added support for GS Reset SysEx message
1311        - allow gig files to use unlimited downward pitch shifting
1312        - added a limit check for upward pitch shifting
1313        - bugfix: sometimes, when playing a note twice fast, the second
1314          note was silent
1315        - fixed crash happening when a pitch bend event arrived at the
1316          same time a new instrument was loading
1317    
1318      * LSCP server:
1319        - added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1320          react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
1321          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1322        - added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
1323          react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
1324          Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
1325        - added new LSCP commands: FIND LOST DB_INSTRUMENT_FILES and
1326          SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH
1327        - added new LSCP command: SEND CHANNEL MIDI_DATA which can be used by
1328          frontends to send MIDI messages to specific sampler channel
1329        - added two additional fields to GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO command -
1330          KEY_BINDINGS and KEYSWITCH_BINDINGS
1331        - bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications
1332          was incorrect
1333        - Optimized the retrieval of the MIDI instrument mappings
1334        - added new LSCP command "SET VOICES" to globally alter the maximum
1335          amount of voices, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:VOICES" which will
1336          be triggered respectively
1337        - added new LSCP command "SET STREAMS" to globally alter the maximum
1338          amount of disk streams, added new LSCP event "GLOBAL_INFO:STREAMS"
1339          which will be triggered respectively
1340        - bugfix: retry if "select" returns EINTR (this fixes a crash when
1341          a gigedit file dialog is opened)
1342        - close all connections when LSCPServer is deleted
1343        - hard close of all sockets on exit
1344        - bugfix: SET CHANNEL MIDI_INPUT_TYPE didn't work with the MME
1345          driver
1346    
1347      * Bug fixes:
1348        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel waiting
1349          to start instrument loading after another channel
1350        - fixed a crash which occurs when removing a sampler channel with
1351          instrument loading in progress (bug #113)
1352        - fixed termination caused by uncaught exception when adding MIDI
1353          instrument with PERSISTENT load mode
1354        - fixed possible iterator invalidations when resetting the sampler
1355        - fixed memory leaks when issuing the following LSCP commands:
1356          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER INFO
1357          GET AUDIO_OUTPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1358          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER INFO
1359          GET MIDI_INPUT_DRIVER_PARAMETER INFO
1360        - fixed possible compilation error when sqlite is not present
1361        - fixed orphaned pointers when setting maximum voices limit (bug #118)
1362        - fixed crash when changing the audio output device of a sampler
1363          channel with loaded instrument and start playing notes
1364        - fixed endless loop in Engine::SuspendAll() (bug #120)
1365        - fixed a low-level atomic load function that was broken on 64-bit
1366          PowerPC, which probably could cause crashes on that platform
1367        - fixed a memory management error which could cause a crash when a
1368          plugin was unloaded
1369        - bugfix: two private structs had the same name, which could cause
1370          problems if the linker chose the wrong constructor
1371        - fixed low-level ConditionServer usage bug that caused lockups on
1372          Windows
1373    
1374    
1375    Version 0.5.1 (6 December 2007)
1376    
1377      * packaging changes:
1378        - added autoconf checks for pthread library
1379        - added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
1380          glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)
1381        - added autoconf checks for MS Windows
1382    
1383      * general changes:
1384        - bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
1385          editor closed
1386        - bugfix: Ringbuffer.h: fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero
1387          out all the space. operator--() did not apply size_mask after
1388          decrementing the read_ptr. DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in
1389          order to avoid problems with the _NonVolatileReader functions.
1390        - bugfix: Stream.h: added a missing divide by BytesPerSample in
1391          GetWriteSpace(). Since this function is currently only used in
1392          the stream's qsort() compare function, it didn't trigger any
1393          bugs.
1394        - Resampler.h, Synthesizer.h: cubic interpolation now works in
1395          24bit mode too. Faster method to read 24bit words on little
1396          endian machines (x86): replaced 3 byte reads + shifts with a 1
1397          unaligned 32bit read and shift
1398        - experimental support for MS Windows (MIDI input via MME, AUDIO
1399          output via ASIO)
1400        - made handling of SIGINT signal (Ctrl-C) a bit more robust
1401        - support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
1402          (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,
1403          SUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT, UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT)
1404    
1405      * AUDIO driver:
1406        - added Windows ASIO low latency audio driver
1407    
1408      * MIDI driver:
1409        - added MME Windows MIDI driver
1410    
1411      * LSCP server:
1412        - added support for Windows style path / filenames, however with
1413          forward slash path separators instead of backslash
1414          (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")
1415        - allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters within
1416          apostrophes as well
1417        - added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
1418          "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
1419          "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
1420          about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
1421          running on
1422    
1423    Version 0.5.0 (15 October 2007)
1424    
1425      * packaging changes:
1426        - config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
1427          API header files anymore
1428        - only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
1429          the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)
1430        - added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
1431          capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
1432          to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
1433          OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1434        - fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
1435          parameters
1436        - global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the
1437          C++ API header files, all implementation internal global definitions
1438          are now in global_private.h
1439        - atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore
1440        - no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
1441        - fixed warnings in API doc generation
1442    
1443      * general changes:
1444        - replaced the old, confusing MIDI program change mechanism by a
1445          flexible MIDI instrument mapper which allows to map arbitrary
1446          (MIDI bank, MIDI program) pairs with arbitrary
1447          (engine type, instrument file, file index) triplets which will be
1448          loaded on the respective channel when such MIDI program change
1449          messages arrive, beside that, each entry allows to define a life-time
1450          strategy for the instrument, so the user can define whether the
1451          instrument should i.e. be permanently loaded (to be able to switch
1452          quickly among sounds) or i.e. loaded just on demand when the
1453          respective program change arrives (to safe RAM space), as well as a
1454          global volume factor for each entry, so the user can adjust the volume
1455          dynamic of his mapped instrument collection without having to modify
1456          the instrument files, also one can manage arbitrary amount of such
1457          MIDI instrument maps and assign each sampler channel individually
1458          a certain map, so that i.e. separation of normal instruments and
1459          drumkits is possible
1460        - new notification events for tracking changes to audio/MIDI devices,
1461          MIDI instrument maps, MIDI instruments, FX sends, global volume.
1462        - sampler was limited to load max. 200 instruments in the background
1463          due to a constant size RingBuffer FIFO which is now replaced by a
1464          dynamic (unlimited) size std::list FIFO
1465        - added FX sends, these allow to route audio signals to arbitrary audio
1466          output channels for being processed by external effect processors
1467          (i.e. jack-rack), the send levels are controllable via arbitrary MIDI
1468          controllers
1469        - global (sampler wide) volume can now be controlled at runtime
1470        - Implemented new, improved notification system
1471        - fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
1472          (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1473        - implemented instruments database
1474        - added support for escape sequences to the instruments database
1475        - added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
1476          within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
1477          you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
1478          startup, added a new LSCP command:
1479          "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>"
1480          to spawn a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the
1481          given sampler channel, the plugin path can be overridden at compile
1482          time with ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
1483        - added experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors hosted
1484          in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
1485          without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions
1486          wherever possible or if unavoidable whole engine(s)
1487        - fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
1488          policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
1489          thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
1490          threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
1491          setting their own policy and priority
1492        - minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
1493          main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
1494          its output
1495        - fixed some minor memory leaks
1496        - reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
1497          enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
1498        - minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
1499          register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)
1500        - POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
1501    
1502      * MIDI driver:
1503        - dispatch bank select (MSB and LSB) messages
1504    
1505      * audio driver:
1506        - the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
1507          parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
1508          (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
1509    
1510      * Gigasampler format engine:
1511        - if a filter is used and EG2 finishes before EG1, let the voice
1512          die when EG2 has finished (this fixes a problem with clicks and
1513          voice starvation for some gigs)
1514        - playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
1515        - all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
1516          playing with the old instrument until they get a note off
1517          command
1518        - EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
1519        - handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB #2 LSB)
1520        - EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level
1521          above max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase
1522          even if sustain is 100%
1523        - more EG fixes: the level could sometimes go below zero and cause
1524          noises or crashes
1525        - minor fix of EGDecay (patch by Toshi Nagata)
1526        - fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
1527          supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)
1528        - disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
1529          instead of a fix value
1530        - behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
1531          127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really
1532          changed
1533    
1534      * LSCP server:
1535        - fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
1536          (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)
1537        - parser now supports extended ASCII character set
1538          (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
1539        - filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
1540          sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
1541          \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
1542          code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
1543        - the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
1544          least one of their text-based parameters (i.e. name, description):
1545          "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "MAP MIDI_INSTRUMENT",
1546          "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME", "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND",
1547          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY NAME",
1548          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORY DESCRIPTION", "SET DB_INSTRUMENT NAME",
1549          "SET DB_INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION", "FIND DB_INSTRUMENTS",
1550          "FIND DB_INSTRUMENT_DIRECTORIES"
1551        - returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where syntax error
1552          occured, the unexpected character and the actually expected, possible
1553          character(s), the latter only if less than 5 possibilities)
1554        - made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
1555          settings
1556        - bugfix regarding strings parameter lists: all comma separated lists
1557          of strings were treated as being one string containing commas
1558          (fixes #57)
1559    
1560      * Bug fixes:
1561        - fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)
1562        - another thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set
1563          channel audio output device"
1564        - fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
1565          on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device
1566        - fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
1567          device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
1568          to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected.
1569        - The previous bindings were not been disconnected when altering
1570          the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter. Introduced a NONE keyword for
1571          unsubscribing from all bindings (e.g. ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).
1572        - The active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect.
1573        - notification events were not been sent for some sampler
1574          channel changes
1575        - added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
1576          audio output channels and MIDI input ports
1577        - the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
1578          an audio output device
1579        - files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded
1580    
1581      * test cases:
1582        - updated and fixed (haven't been touched in a while)
1583    
1584    Version 0.4.0 (24 November 2006)
1585    
1586      * packaging changes:
1587        - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
1588          to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
1589          to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)
1590      - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party      - install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party

1623      - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)      - fixed bug in sysex handling (patch by Juan Linietsky)
1624        - added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
1625          which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation
1626        - EG fixes: made the length of "attack hold" stage more
1627          accurate. Release stage can now start before attack stage
1628          ends. Cancel release didn't work when sustain was zero. Attack
1629          time now has a minimal value to prevent clicks.
1630        - fixed pitch changes larger than one octave
1631        - fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
1632        - implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
1633          all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
1634          altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
1635          mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
1636        - fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7), pan (CC10 and gig
1637          parameter) and crossfade
1638        - added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
1639          parameter
1640        - added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change
1641          messages
1642        - sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
1643          instead of the wave chunk
1644        - fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits
1645          not equal to a power of two
1646        - reimplementation of the filter algorithm. The new filter is more
1647          accurate and supports all gig filter types, including bandreject
1648          and lowpass turbo.
1649        - real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to
1650          16 bits anymore
1651        - support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic
1652          aftertouch)
1653        - LFO1 behaviour fixed (dampening from max volume instead of
1654          amplifying from 0)

1661          (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
1662    
1663      * audio driver:
