  - vector extension code was always to tried be compiled, even though the
    compiler didn't support vector extensions

* VST: look for the Fantasia binary in liblinuxsampler.dll's directory and
  in its parent directory (required for the next Windows installer which
  allows to install the 64 bit and 32 bit version of LinuxSampler VST

  to start instrument loading after another channel

* bugfix: the bank number provided by MIDI_INSTRUMENT_INFO notifications

  LS however one can switch between the first 16 MIDI instrument maps
  of all ones defined for the sampler
* bumped version to 0.5.1.6cvs

  SET DB_INSTRUMENT FILE_PATH

* added support for GM global device volume SysEx message

* dispatch bank select as ordinary CC as well, the user might seriously
  want to (mis)use it for some purpose ("fixed" in all current MIDI
  input drivers: ALSA, CoreMIDI, JACK, MidiShare, MME)
* minor fix: only mark FX sends as being modified if really the
  respective FX send MIDI controller was used

* fixed compilation with gcc 4.3

- added partial support for the "Controller Triggered" MIDI rule,
  enough for piano gigs with pedal noise samples

* added new LSCP event "DEVICE_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
  react on MIDI data arriving on certain MIDI input devices (so far only
  Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
* bumped version to 0.5.1.4cvs

- added new LSCP event "CHANNEL_MIDI" which can be used by frontends to
  react on MIDI data arriving on certain sampler channels (so far only
  Note-On and Note-Off events are sent via this LSCP event)
- bumped LSCP compliance version to 1.4
- bumped LS version to 0.5.1.3cvs

- fixed di-harmonic triangle LFO implementation (this LFO implementation
  is only used by very few systems, most pick the int math

* added support for triggering notes by instrument editors
  (still some cleanup / refactoring ahead, but it should work)
* bumped version to 0.5.1.1cvs

  while notes were playing
* fixed memory management bug in ASIO driver
* optimized the SynchronizedConfig class so it doesn't wait
  unnecessarily long after an update

* autoconf bugfix: the PKG_CONFIG variable wasn't initialized properly,
  causing e.g. the libgig test to fail when
  "./configure --disable-jack-driver" was used
  (patch by Alexis Ballier)

* bugfix: the SAMPLERATE parameter of some drivers (e.g. JACK)
  reflected the wrong value

* bugfix: JACK audio driver did not offer a device parameter
  "SAMPLERATE" as opposed to the LSCP specs which requires
  all audio drivers to provide it

* avoid time consuming samples scanning when
  adding instruments to the instruments database

* fixed endless loop which occured when loading an instrument editor
  plugin DLL on Windows systems failed (note: completely untested yet :) )

* bugfix: on some POSIX systems instrument editor plugins refused to
  load as we used a non-portable Linux specific struct field
  (fixes bug #70, patch by Ronald Baljeu)

* removed the nonsense audio channel constraint (which was hard coded to
  max. 100 audio channels) for most audio drivers

* minor code refactoring of win32 Condition code
* preparations for release 0.5.1

- Added support for monitoring the total number of active disk streams
  (new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_STREAM_COUNT,

* made signal handling a bit more robust

* LSCP: added new LSCP commands: "GET FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>",
  "LIST FILE INSTRUMENTS <file>" and
  "GET FILE INSTRUMENT INFO <file> <index>" for retrieving informations
  about an arbitrary instrument file on the system where the sampler is
  running on (LSCP specs yet to be updated!)
* bumped version to 0.5.0.1cvs
* bumped LSCP compliance to LSCP version 1.3

* win32 port, work in progress: added autoconf checks for Windows
 - win32 additions in linuxsampler.cpp

* win32 port, work in progress:
 - added ASIO low latency audio output driver
* MME MIDI input driver:
 - fixed number of PORTS to 1 as the win32 MME MIDI API
 allows to connect to only one MIDI port at time,

* LSCP: allow naughty liblscp to send non-string device parameters
  within apostrophes as well

* win32 port, work in progress:
* added MME MIDI Input driver
* Resampler.h, gig/Synthesizer.h:
* changed return type of getSample() from int to int32_t

* fixes in Ringbuffer.h:
 - fill_write_space_with_null() did not zero out all the space
 - operator--() did not apply size_mask after decrementing the read_ptr
  (might fix bug #48)
 - DEFAULT_WRAP_ELEMENTS set to 0 in order to avoid problems with
  the _NonVolatileReader functions.

* LSCP server: added support for Windows style path / filenames, however
  with forward slash path separators instead of backslash
  (i.e. "C:/foo/bar.gig")

* bugfix: the thread used by an editor plugin didn't die when the
  editor closed

* added autoconf checks for pthread library
* added autoconf check for pthread bug found on certain NPTL-enabled
  glibc versions (see Gentoo bug report #194076)

* code cleanup:
- global.h now only covers global definitions that are needed for the C++
  API header files, all implementation internal global definitions are now
  in global_private.h
- atomic.h is not exposed to the C++ API anymore (replaced the references
  in SynchronizedConfig.h for this with local definitions)
- no need to include config.h anymore for using LS's API header files
- DB instruments classes are not exposed to the C++ API
- POSIX callback functions of Thread.h are hidden
- the (optional) gig Engine benchmark compiles again
- updated Doxyfile.in
- fixed warnings in API doc generation
* preparations for release 0.5.0

* slightly renamed recently added "EDIT INSTRUMENT <sampler-chan>" LSCP
  command to "EDIT CHANNEL INSTRUMENT <sampler-chan>"

* the following LSCP commands now also support escape sequences for at
  least one of their text-based arguments (i.e. name, description):
  "ADD MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP", "SET MIDI_INSTRUMENT_MAP NAME",
  "SET FX_SEND NAME", "CREATE FX_SEND"
* the LSCP spec doc now lists all LSCP commands which support escape
  sequences as one of their arguments

* bugfix in LSCP parser: all comma separated lists of strings were treated
  as being one string containing commas, this affected device parameter
  LSCP commands (fixes #57)
* minor code refactoring regarding DB paths in src/network/lscp.y

* fixed buggy boolean --enable-foo / --disable-foo configure script
  parameters

* made sure that LSCP syntax is not affected by gigedit locale
  settings

* behavior fix: on MIDI CC# 65 (portamento on / off), 126 (mono mode),
  127 (solo mode) only kill voices if the respective mode really changed

* added support for escape sequences to the instruments database

* bugfix: files with slash in their path or filename could not be loaded

* added highly experimental code for synchronizing instrument editors
  hosted in the sampler's process to safely edit instruments while playing
  without a crash (hopefully) by either suspending single regions wherever
  possible or - if unavoidable - whole engine(s)
* disk thread: queue sizes are now proportional to CONFIG_MAX_STREAMS
  instead of fix values
* removed legacy Makefiles in meanwhile deleted src/lib directory and its
  subdirectories
* bumped version to 0.4.0.7cvs

* minor assembly fix in x86 features detection (don't use the PIC
  register, to avoid relocations in the text segment at runtime)

- updating changelog

* added default min and max values to restrict the number of allowed
  audio output channels and MIDI input ports
* the connection to the PCM interface is now closed when destroying
  an audio output device

* ensure that a notification event is sent when already
  loaded instrument is assigned to another sampler channel

* bugfix: the active stream/voice count statistic was incorrect

* bugfix: The previous bindings were not been disconnected when
  altering the ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS parameter.
* Introduced a NONE keyword for unsubscribing from all bindings
  (e.g. SET MIDI_INPUT_PORT_PARAMETER 0 0 ALSA_SEQ_BINDINGS=NONE).

* fixed a crash which occurs when changing the number of ports of a MIDI
  device connected to a sampler channel to number less then or equal
  to the index of the port to which the sampler channel is connected

* fixed a crash which occurs when reassigning the same engine
  on a sampler channel with connected MIDI device

* reenabled assembly features support, at the moment only for
  enabling a fast denormal FPU mode (x86 platforms supporting SSE2)
* bumped version to 0.4.0.6cvs

* LSCP server returns verbose syntax errors (line and column where
  syntax error occured, the unexpected character and the actually
  expected, possible character(s), the latter only if less than 5
  possibilities)

* fixed some minor memory leaks

* filename arguments in LSCP commands now allow to use escape
  sequences, that is directly literal as one of: \', \", \\, \n, \r,
  \f, \t, \v, or as octal ASCII code value like \132, or as hex ASCII
  code value like \xf2) (fixes bug #24)
* parser now supports extended ASCII character set
  (up to ASCII code 255, i.e. includes now umlauts and accents)
* LSCP parser C++ files are now automatically regenerated when
  yacc input source file (lscp.y) was modified

* fixed compile time error for old Bison versions
  (i.e. v1.28 found on MacOS 10.4, patch by Toshi Nagata)

* minor fix in our automatic stack trace mechanism on crashes, the
  main process did not wait for the stack trace process to finish
  and thus killed the whole application before the stack trace was
  completely shown on the console

* fixed several issues in fundamental "Thread" class: set scheduling
  policy and priority on thread level, set a minimum stack size for
  thread (TODO: a reasonable value yet to be tested), bugfix: non-RT
  threads simply inherited properties of starting thread instead of
  setting their own policy and priority
* updated and fixed test cases (haven't been touched in a while, but
  are now all running successfully through all cases)

* added highly experimental support for on-the-fly instrument editing
  within the sampler's process (by using instrument editor plugins),
  you'll notice the new "Registered instrument editors:" message on
  startup, the plugin path can be overridden at compile time with
  ./configure --enable-plugin-dir=/some/dir
* added a new LSCP command "EDIT INSTRUMENT <sampler-channel>" to spawn
  a matching instrument editor for the instrument on the given sampler
  channel (LSCP command syntax might be subject to change soon)
* config.h is not going to be installed along with liblinuxsampler's
  API header files anymore (not necessary anymore)
* take care of $(DESTDIR) when creating the instruments DB on 'make
  install' rule (needed for packaging and cross compilation)
* bumped version to 0.4.0.5cvs

* fixed compiler error when --enable-override-filter-type was
  supplied to the configure script (fixes #46)

* added completely new XCode project files for Mac OSX which is now
  capable to execute our autoconf environment, thus no need anymore
  to maintain the compile time configuration file (osx/version.h) for
  OSX manually (patch by Toshi Nagata)

* Implemented instruments database

* minor fix of EGDecay
* fixed compilation errors regarding OSX
(patch by Toshi Nagata)

* fixed some more EG bugs that could cause noises or crashes

* Implemented new, improved notification system

* Added new notification events for tracking
effect send changes and global volume changes

- only the API relevant header (and source) files will be exported to
  the Doxygen API documentation (explicitly listed in Doxyfile.in)

* the ALSA audio output driver parameters now reflect the correct
  parameter value ranges for the respective selected sound card
  (patch by Till Wimmer, a bit fixed and extended)
* bumped version to 0.4.0.4cvs

* EG fine tuning: when attack is zero the EG starts at a level above
  max sustain level, which means that there is a decay phase even if
  sustain is 100%

* handle MIDI coarse tuning messages (MIDI RPN #0 MSB, #2 LSB),
  currently lazy implementation, transpose value is simply added on the
  note on/off values instead only at the mandatory places, thus when
  altering transpose while playing, voices can unintendedly survive

* EG fix: a release value of zero could cause noises or crash
* fix of previous thread safety fix, which in some cases locked the
  engine

* playback is no longer disabled during instrument loading
* all notes playing on a channel that changes its instrument keep
  playing with the old instrument until they get a note off command
* new thread safety fix for lscp "load engine" and "set channel audio
  output device"

* global volume can now be altered at runtime
  (added two new LSCP commands for this, LSCP specs updated)

* implemented effect sends (also added new LSCP commands for this feature,
  updated LSCP spec document along with this commit batch as well)

forgot to commit ChangeLog

* Added new notification events for tracking audio/MIDI device changes,
MIDI instrument map changes and MIDI instrument changes

* revised and extended MIDI instrument mapping feature to allow managing
  arbitrary amount of maps and assigning each sampler channel individually
  to one map (this commit batch includes LSCP spec document update and
  respective implementation on LS side)

* fixed crash occurring on certain LSCP scripts (Bug 39)

- added forgotten notice in ChangeLog
- fixed LIST MIDI_INSTRUMENTS

* implemented MIDI instrument mapping according to latest LSCP draft

* preparations for release 0.4.0

* fixed crash when instrument loading failed previously on the same
  sampler channel (fixes bug #36)

* small fix of LFO1 behaviour (dampening from max volume instead of
  amplifying from 0)
* added checks for bad MIDI data

* little configure.in fix for PPC
  (patch by Ebrahim Mayat)

* MIDI driver API extension for MIDI drivers which already supply exact
  time stamps for events (i.e. for offline rendering based MIDI drivers)

* real support for 24 bit samples - samples are not truncated to 16
  bits anymore
* support for aftertouch (channel pressure, not polyphonic aftertouch)

* src/Sampler.h, src/Sampler.cpp: allow 3rd party applications to
  retrieve available drivers and sampler engines
* src/linuxsampler.cpp: show available engines on startup (on the console)

* new filter implementation, which is more accurate and supports all
  filter types including bandreject and lowpass turbo

* packaging changes:
    - changed deprecated copyright attribute to license; added ldconfig
      to post-(un)install steps; added devel package for liblinuxsampler;
      to linuxsampler.spec (RPM)

* sample loop parameters are now taken from the DimensionRegion
  instead of the wave chunk
* fixed keyswitching for v3 gigs with a number of keyswitch splits not
  equal to a power of two

* added compile time options to allow disabling the various audio and MIDI
  drivers (./configure --disable-foo-driver)

* added compile time option to disable processing of All-Notes-Off
  MIDI messages

* fixed concurrency problems between the main thread doing
  lscp notifications and the lscp thread
* bug fix: the LFOs were not properly initialized

* fixed some concurrency problems between the lscp thread and the
  audio/midi threads for these commands: load engine, set channel
  audio output device, set channel midi input device/port/channel and
  remove channel. Thanks to Vincent Bongiorno for bug reports and
  testing.
* removed an autotools warning
* fixed an iterator bug
* minor code clean-ups

* added aRts audio output driver (by no means RT safe)

* fixed some memory management errors

* added smoothing of volume changes caused by control change messages
* fine tuning of the crossfade volume curve

* fixed global pan (CC10) which hasn't been working for a while
* fine tuning of the curves for volume (CC7) and pan (CC10 and gig
  parameter)
* added support for the "attenuation controller threshold" gig
  parameter

* added linear interpolation of volume modulation inside a
  subfragment; this prevents clicks during voice stealing. Can be
  switched off with the --disable-interpolate-volume configure option.

* implemented portamento mode and solo mode (a.k.a 'mono mode'):
  all modes can be altered via standard GM messages, that is CC5 for
  altering portamento time, CC65 for enabling / disabling portamento
  mode, CC126 for enabling solo mode and CC127 for disabling solo mode
* fixed EG3 (pitch envelope) synthesis which was neutral all the time
* configure.in: do not automatically pick optimized gcc flags if the user
  already provided some on his own (as CXXFLAGS)

* bugfix in LSCP parser which was confused by space(s) within device
  parameters
  (e.g. "SET AUDIO_OUTPUT_CHANNEL_PARAMETER 0 0 SOMEPARAM='foo bar'")
* changed version to 0.3.3cvs

* Bug-fixes: pitch changes larger than one octave didn't work. Looped
  samples small enough to fit in RAM didn't work.

* minor EG fine tuning: attack time now has a minimum value to prevent
  clicks

* fixed the notification messages delay due to lack of
network activity (fixes bug #26)

* Filter tuning: calculation of cutoff frequency and bandwidth
  improved. Removed use of "BasicBPFilter". Changed bandpass filter
  from constant peak to constant skirt. Use gig parameter Resonance if
  no resonance controller is set. Removed keyboard tracking influence
  on resonance.

* EG fixes: the length of "attack hold" stage was wrong. Release stage
  can now start before attack stage ends. Cancel release didn't work
  when sustain was zero.

* fixed event handling bug which was introduced by the recent synthesis
  optimizations (events were only processed for the first active voice)
* added global volume attenuation of -9 dB (0.35f) to prevent clipping
  which can be overridden with --enable-global-attenuation

* Added new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT,
GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX, SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT

Added new LSCP commands: GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT,
GET TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT_MAX, SUBSCRIBE/UNSUBSCRIBE TOTAL_VOICE_COUNT

- Added support for sostenuto pedal

* src/drivers/MidiInputPort.cpp: fixed legacy SysEx code which caused
  dispatching of MIDI SysEx messages several times instead of once
* src/engines/gig/Engine.cpp: fixed bug in SysEx handling
  (patch by Juan Linietsky)

* extensive synthesis optimization: reimplementation of EGs and LFO(s),
  removed synthesis parameter prerendering and the synthesis parameter
  matrix in general, splitting each audio fragment into subfragments now
  where each subfragment uses constant synthesis parameters
  (everything's still very buggy ATM)

* improved filter cutoff calculation by adding support for the
  following gig parameters: Cutoff freq (used when no cutoff
  controller is defined), Control invert, Minimum cutoff, Velocity
  curve and Velocity range. The keyboard tracking now also scales
  cutoff frequency, not just resonance.

* Added configure option --enable-process-muted-channels
which can be used to enable the processing of muted channels

added benchmark to automatically detect the best triangle LFO
implementation (currently either an integer math solution or a
di-harmonic approximation), automatic detection can be overriden
with --enable-signed-triang-algo=x and --enable-unsigned-triang-algo=x
configure script argument though (mandatory for cross-compilation)
---
actual implementation of the new LFO implementations in LS will follow soon

updated ChangeLog to Grigor's latest changes

* support for muting sampler channels and solo mode of the same, two new
  LSCP commands ("SET CHANNEL MUTE" and "SET CHANNEL SOLO") and two new
  fields ("MUTE" and "SOLO") for command "GET CHANNEL INFO" were
  introduced for this (patch by Grigor Iliev, a bit adjusted)

* install necessary development header files for allowing 3rd party
  applications to link against liblinuxsampler
* liblinuxsampler's API documentation can be generated with 'make docs'
  (Doxygen required)

* fine tuning of the EG modulation parameters

* preparation for bugfix release 0.3.3

* if period time of chosen audio device is too small (< MIN_RELEASE_TIME)
  then simply show a warning about possible click sounds and reduce the
  volume ramp down appropriately instead of cancelling the audio device
  connection

* minor efficiency fix (LFO preprocessing was performed even though the
  respective LFO was disabled by the instrument patch)

oops, the last change is not contained in release 0.3.2

* gcc 4.0 compilation fixes

* final preparations for bugfix release 0.3.2

* don't reset volume, pan, pitch and MIDI controller values on instrument
  or audio output device change
* send 'CHANNEL_INFO' LSCP event on MIDI program change messages

* fixed minor issue with null/silence samples
  (those stole voices even though they don't need a voice at all which
  resulted in "voice stealing didn't work out" messages)

* fixed a key group bug which caused undefined behavior in conjunction with
  stolen voices (this case was usually followed by a "killed voice
  survived" or "voice stealing didn't work out" error message)

* another voice stealing fix
  (endless loop occured when voices were stolen from other engine channels)

* LSCP server: fixed LSCP event "CHANNEL_INFO" notification
  (e.g. did not notify on volume changes)

* don't reset scale tuning on instrument or audio output device change

* fixed 'make dist' build rule to include all necessary files

* revised voice stealing (fixes crash caused by voice stealing)

* volume of release triggered samples now depends on note-on velocity,
  note length and gig parameter "release trigger decay" instead of
  note-off velocity.

* fixed some crashs in LSCP server
  (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #19)

* hand-crafted assembly optimization code can be disabled with
  './configure --disable-asm' (definitely not recommended)

* support for the gig parameters for "release velocity response"
  curves, which means the decay and release times now depends on
  velocity. The softer velocity, the longer release.
* fine tuning of the envelope curves. Decay1 and release now have two
  parts, first linear and then exponential at the end.

* updated autotools build files for conditional compilation of CoreMIDI
  (OS X) and MidiShare (Linux, OS X, Windows) drivers

* src/network/lscpserver.cpp: fixed segfault
  (patch by Grigor Iliev, fixes #17)
* added man page
* final preparations for the first official release (which will be 0.3.1)
