* 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.

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
* configure: check for required Perl module XML::Parser.
2026-01-17 schoenebeck
* NKSP tests: split giant src/scriptvm/tests/NKSPCoreLangTest.cpp into multiple source files.

2026-03-26 schoenebeck
* Main Window: add column "Referenced" to scripts tree view (showing how often the script is referenced by some instrument).
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).
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn19).
2026-03-25 schoenebeck
* RegionChooser: draw colored rectangles (or stripes) for alternative values on regions.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn18).
2026-03-24 schoenebeck
* DimRegionChooser: draw alternative values each with a different color (and draw a dark box with rounded corners as background to increase contrast of that mulit-color text).
2026-03-24 schoenebeck
* DimRegionEdit: increase size of velocity curves graph.
2026-03-24 schoenebeck
DimRegionEdit: add respective unit to sound parameter controls' label
* Make it clear that LFO Frequency value is in Hz.
* Make it clear that LFO phase is in degree.
* Make it clear that fine tune is in cents.
2026-03-22 schoenebeck
* Show parameter name on lower right (over dimension zones) while hovering a sound parameter control.
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn17).
2026-03-21 schoenebeck
* DimRegionEdit: add vertical margin space between sample info labels.
2026-03-21 schoenebeck
DimRegionEdit: add mouse hover support for sample format
* Split sample format label into 3 parts that can be controlled separately but still appear as one line.
* Connect the 3 parts of the sample format label such that hovering e.g. over channels just shows the channels in the dimension zones, hovering over bits only shows the bit depth in dimension zones, and hovering over sample rate only the shows the latter on dimension zones.
2026-03-21 schoenebeck
DimRegionEdit: add mouse hover support for sample info labels
* Show sample group name(s) in dimension zones when hovering over sample group label.
* Show sample ID(s) in dimension zones when hovering over sample ID label.
* Show sample CRC in dimension zones when hovering over sample CRC label.
2026-03-21 schoenebeck
* Fix false positives on highlighting multiple values (caused by having compared unused dimension regions of dimensions that were not a power of two in size).
* Bump version (1.2.4.svn16).

2026-03-06 schoenebeck
* Serialization: fix order of type and version compatibility checks when syncing objects (type compatibility must be checked before version compatibility).
2026-03-06 schoenebeck
Serialization: fix automatic self-registration of pointer types
* So far pointers did only register themselfes exactly as pointer types, but not as their dereferenced types. This caused an assertion fault if the respective C++ class was used as a strong pointer without manual type registration. Fix this by automatically registering the dereferenced type of the pointer as well.
2026-02-27 schoenebeck
* helper: fix external linkage of helper functions (fixes helper tests from having failed with certain compiler optimization settings on non-Windows systems, as we are poking with defining _WIN32 to test behaviour of helper function on Windows, which fails if the compiler decided to not inline the helper functions).
2026-02-25 schoenebeck
Serialization: fix regression introduced by SVN r4505
* DataType resolver: depending on the underlying system, "int" and "long" types may not been covered by stdint typedefs, which caused an assertion fault on such systems.
2026-02-09 schoenebeck
* Serialization: drop superfluous DataType resolver implementation lines for native types size_t and ssize_t (as these are already handled by the prior typeid comparison checks for other native int/uint types).
2026-02-09 schoenebeck
* Serialization: fix preregistering native C++ object to correct Archive object (fixes SVN r4488).
2026-02-08 schoenebeck
* Serialization: move Serialization implementation specific (not public API) source files into a new subdirectory src/srx/.
* Bump version (4.5.2.svn9).
2026-02-07 schoenebeck
* Serialization: fix unnecessary need of explicit registration of polymorphic C++ classes (by applications) by auto registering those native C++ types earlier.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: fix superfluous commas in JSON array of serialized objects.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: fix superfluous spaces in "id" JSON value strings.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: only encode "version" and "min_version" JSON numbers if those were actually set by serializing application (i.e. if their value being non-zero).
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: don't encode line breaks on JSON array "custom_types", as this array only takes few characters anyway.
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
* src/SrxJSONFormat.cpp: don't encode a "custom_type" JSON array if the respective DataType does not contain any custom type(s).
2026-02-02 schoenebeck
Serialization: fix JSON exception on empty strings
* SrxJSONFormat: fix having not encoded a JSON string for empty strings, which caused an exception on decoder side due to the expected JSON "value" string being missed.
* Tests: Guard this Serialization issue with a test case.
* Tests: print the exception text instead of just silently catching them.
* Bump version (4.5.2.svn8).
