The following list shows which features have already been implemented in |
152 |
|
|
current CVS version of LinuxSampler and what is planned to be done in |
153 |
|
|
(hopefully) near future. If you are missing something that is not already |
154 |
|
|
listed below, you can write a proposol to the |
155 |
|
|
<a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxsampler-devel"> |
156 |
|
|
developers mailing list |
157 |
schoenebeck |
1576 |
</a>, open an "enhancement" request on our |
158 |
|
|
<a href="http://bugs.linuxsampler.org">bug tracking system</a> |
159 |
|
|
or even better send us your patch if you have done something. Even |
160 |
senoner |
542 |
if features are listed to be planned below, it can be that it takes a |
161 |
|
|
while until somebody finds the time to implement it. So if you have the |
162 |
|
|
time and will to finish one of them, let us know! |
