2026-08-05 schoenebeck

2026-06-22 schoenebeck
* RingBuffer: fix undefined behaviour in case of buffer size 0 or 1.
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn6).
2026-04-09 schoenebeck
* Instrument Editor API: implement "prelisten" feature which e.g. allows a sound designer to listen to only one specific layer of a multi-layer instrument.
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn5).
2026-02-11 schoenebeck
* NKSP parser: fix empty scripts to be accepted as valid scripts as well (i.e. fix them having caused a syntax error).
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn4).
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
* VM C++ API: rename VMDeploymentCase -> VMDeploymentCase_t (and add deprecated alias for backward compatibility).
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
* VM C++ API: ParserIssue::dump(): append diagnostic type (in brackets) as string to output of warning/error message.
* VM C++ API: const-ify ParserIssue::dump() and move implementation from header to unit.
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
NKSP: allow promoting parser warnings to errors
* Replace C++ API method ScriptVM::setWarningEnabled() by ScriptVM::setDiagnostic() which now allows to configure a parser issue to be treated either as warning, error or suppressed.
* Replace C++ API method ScriptVM::isWarningEnabled() by ScriptVM::getDiagnostic().
* Add C++ API method ScriptVM::getDiagnosticDefault() which returns the default treatment of a particular parser issue.
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn3).
2026-01-23 schoenebeck
NKSP: make parser warnings configurable
* Add numeric list of diagnostic types (enum VMDiagnosticType_t) and associate each identified NKSP parser warning message with one of the numeric diagnostic types.
* Add C++ API methods ScriptVM::setWarningEnabled() and ScriptVM::isWarningEnabled() which can be used to enable or disable individual NKSP parser warning types and retrieving whether they are currently enabled.
* Add C++ API functions allDiagnosticTypes(), diagnosticTypeStr() and diagnosticType() which can be used by third-party apps to retrieve all available NKSP diagnostic flags, both as numeric values and string presentation, and for converting between numeric and string presentation.
* Bump version (2.4.2.svn2).
2026-01-17 schoenebeck
Revise build of auto generated source files (regression fix of SVN r4164).
* Split auto generation of 1) LSCP parser source files, 2) updating LSCP reference documentation's grammar section (Documentation/lscp.xml) and 3) auto generation of liblinuxsampler's built-in LSCP reference documentation, into 3 separate build tasks (instead of regenerating all of them always together).
* Fix build concurrency issue when running parallel builds (make -j) that caused crippled auto generated source files: prevent parallel run of tasks that auto generate source files, and fix those targets to not run more than once.
* Only update Documentation/lscp.xml (its grammar section that is) if src/network/lscp.y has been changed.
* Only regenerate src/network/lscp_shell_reference.cpp if Documentation/lscp.xml has been changed.
2026-01-17 schoenebeck

* DimRegionEdit: add play button to Sample tab (which triggers prelisten feature for main selection's dimension region).
2026-04-09 schoenebeck
* Implement "prelisten" feature: pressing and holding "Alt" key while clicking on a dimension zone triggers exactly one voice of that particular dimension region involved, the voice stops when the mouse button is released.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn20).
2026-03-26 schoenebeck

2026-03-26 schoenebeck
* Script Editor: fix unreadable text in bright mode when text was selected.
2026-03-26 schoenebeck
* Script Editor: implement highlighting of text matching currently selected text (e.g. double clicking on a variable and immediately seeing where the variable is used over entire script).
2026-03-26 schoenebeck
* DimRegionEdit: fine tune sorting of patch variables (they are still displayed sorted in alphabetically order, but starting by 2nd character, as the 1st charecter denotes the data type in NKSP).
2026-03-26 schoenebeck
* RegionChooser: round the corners of colored alternative-values stripes (to increase visual perceiption of region boundaries while hovering a sound parameter).

2026-03-24 schoenebeck

2026-09-04 schoenebeck
* src/SF.cpp: Fix Sample::Read*() silently ignoring 16-bit linked samples.

2026-09-04 schoenebeck
* src/SF.cpp: Fix Sample::Read() from losing the first sample of 16-bit right channel.
* Tests: guard this issue with a new SF2 test case.
2026-09-04 schoenebeck
* src/SF.cpp: Fix Sample::Read*() from reading out-of-bounds when the sample position is at or past the end of the sample.
* Bump version (4.6.0.svn7).
2026-09-03 schoenebeck
* src/SF.cpp: Fix region's STARTLOOP_ADDRS_COARSE_OFFSET and ENDLOOP_ADDRS_COARSE_OFFSET calculations (signed vs. unsigned issue).
* src/SF.cpp: Clamp region's out-of-range loop points instead of throwing an exception (since this prevented many SF2 files from being loaded).
2026-09-03 schoenebeck
* src/SF.cpp: Fix Sample::Read() corrupting 24-bit sample data on all systems: the sample data was assembled in-place inside the destination buffer and the loop overwrote bytes that later iterations still needed to read.
* src/SF.cpp: Fix Sample::ReadNoClear() corrupting the other channel of 24-bit stereo samples.
* src/SF.cpp: Fix 24-bit linked samples (LINKED_SAMPLE / ROM_LINKED_SAMPLE) being misrouted into the stereo spread, causing buffer overflow.
* src/helper.cpp, src/helper.h: Add function interleave16_8to24() which implements in-place merging of two separate 16-bit and 8-bit streams into one interleaved 24-bit stream.
* Tests: Introduce tests for SF2 classes.
* Bump version (4.6.0.svn6).
2026-08-29 schoenebeck
* src/gig.cpp: Fix CRC-32 calculation of 24-bit sample data on big-endian systems by omitting to byte-swap the sample data before the CRC calculation in this case, as 24 bit samples are already stored as little-endian on disk (fixes regression by SVN r4660).
* Tests: guard this 24-bit sample CRC issue with its own check.
* Bump version (4.6.0.svn5).
2026-08-18 schoenebeck
* src/SF.cpp: Fix Sample::Read*() for 24-bit samples on big-endian systems.
* Bump version (4.6.0.svn4).
2026-08-18 schoenebeck
* src/RIFF.cpp: fix big-endian 32-bit chunk size handling (fixes regression by SVN r4651).
* Tests: guard this issue by two new test cases.
2026-08-14 schoenebeck
* src/gig.cpp: Fix CRC-32 calculation of sample data on big-endian systems by ensuring __calculateCRC() operates on little-endian bytes as stored on disk.
* Tests: Guard this issue with a new test, which is necessary because it was so far masked with double-wrong match of the existing CRC tests.
* Bump version (4.6.0.svn3).
2026-08-14 schoenebeck
* src/gig.cpp: Fix access to 3CRC chunk data on big-endian systems in File::VerifySampleChecksumTable(), File::RebuildSampleChecksumTable() and File::UpdateChunks() from using raw uint32_t* pointer access on little-endian encoded data (patch by Pranav P).
* Bump version (4.6.0.svn2).
2026-08-13 schoenebeck
* src/RIFF.cpp: Fix Chunk::Write() from not having reverted temporary byte-swapping after non-native endian correction.
2026-08-13 schoenebeck
* src/RIFF.cpp: Fix wrong chunk size being read/written on big-endian systems if RIFF file offsets were encoded in 32-bit.
* Bump version (4.6.0.svn1).
2026-08-05 schoenebeck
* New release (4.6.0).
2026-03-06 schoenebeck
* Serialization: fix order of type and version compatibility checks when syncing objects (type compatibility must be checked before version compatibility).
