20170701
* Thanks to Brian Collins @ linuxsynths.com, added over 100 new patches to
the default patch set.
* Added a 'category' field to each patch.
* Converted the patch list to GtkTreeView, and made it sortable by program
number, name, or category.
* Updated gtkknob.[ch], which swapped the default to linear/angular button
bindings.
* Removed support for GTK+ earlier than version 2.24.
* Removed compiler-specific optimization flags.
* Fix a number of security problems, minor bugs, compiler warnings, and
documentation errors. Thanks to Olivier Humbert and dcb314.
20130224
* Added buttons to center the pan controls, on the suggestion of
Robert from Germany.
20121128
* Jonathan H. Pickard added support for panning of the output mix via
MIDI control change 10.
20120918 smbolton
* Fixed GUI to respect Y_MAX_POLYPHONY.
20120903
* Luke Andrew added three new filter modes: 2-pole high-pass, 4-pole
high-pass, and band-reject (plus he did some nice code
refactoring.)
20120729 smbolton
* Removed all code enabled by '--enable-developer', except for the
option to write patch files as 'C' code. Under-development
functions are now contained in git branches.
* Promoted Wavecycle Chorus to regular (non-developer-only)
oscillator mode.
* Promoted resonz to regular (non-developer-only) filter mode.
* Fixed a click that occurred with several oscillator modes (Wave
Cycle, PADsynth, and FM) when using portamento in a monophonic
mode, due to the oscillator phase being reset spuriously.
* Added icon (32x32 only for now, not installing).
* Added some new patches to the default set, including several
contributed by Ken Restivo.
* Fixed configure.ac for FreeBSD (thanks, downstream.)
* Removed developer-only filters resonr (unneeded) and Neosweep
(unremarkable; license unclear). Removed ESQ-1 patch import
code, which never really worked anyway.
20100922 smbolton
* Added minBLEP oscillator waveform: clipped saw (thanks to Gordon
JC Pearce for the inspiration).
* Added effect: Sean Costello's reverbsc from Csound.
* Added a few new patches to the default set, including a
contribution from Idiomdrottning.
* Cleaned up effect common memory allocation and dirty buffer
silencing (somewhat).
* Use new cairo-rendered knobs, when cairo is available (requires
GTK+ >= 2.8; old knobs will be used if < 2.8 is found).
* Seriously: two consecutive copies of an inlined function that are
not in cache can take longer to execute than two subroutine
calls to the function's non-inlined version. Re-thought
WhySynth inlining.
* Debastardization of the GUI combo boxes (or, the death of
popmenu).
* Reworked the minBLEP code for more even processor usage over
successive process cycles.
* Consolidated some voice buffers for better cache utilization.
* On Mac OS X only (since it doesn't have a working mlockall()),
added code at startup to page each wavetable into memory (and
thus hopefully minimize page faults later.)
* Doh. Thread-safe, user-friendly locale flexibility.
20090531 smbolton
* Fix patchfile load and save to be locale-neutral (thanks to Martin
Tarenskeen for the bug report.)
20090403 smbolton
* Silently ignore 'sample-rate' method.
* Fixed GtkSpinButton adjustments to avoid page_size warning with
GTK+ >=2.14.
* configure.ac: added check for ladspa.h, removed some obsolete
macros.
20080411 smbolton
* Use GtkFileChooserWidget instead of GtkFileSelection. Requires
GTK+ >= 2.4.0.
* Fixed a bug in the XSynth-DSSI patch import.
20080204 smbolton
* Added extra/COPYING-patches and fixed README and
src/patch_tables.c to clearly declare patches as being in the
public domain.
* Added config.h.ac, doc/voice_block_diagram.png, and
extra/COPYING-patches to Makefile.am EXTRA_DIST. The first two
have been inadvertently omitted from previous distributions, and
the block diagram at least shouldn't have been.
20070418 smbolton
* Added 'FM Wave->LF Sine' and 'Phase Distortion' oscillator types.
* Enhanced the GUI by replacing all the mode selection spinbuttons
with popup menu buttons.
* Improved the envelope generator code so that already-playing notes
will respond to parameter changes to envelope segments that have
not yet begun.
* Added a 75% partial width scaling setting to the PADsynth
parameters.
* Added a few new patches to the default set, including a
contribution from Ken Restivo.
* Made several GCC 4 fixes, including more sane inlining.
20060122 smbolton
* Added 'Copy' and 'Paste' buttons for the filters and effect.
* Changed the autotools setup to keep the plugin and GUI libraries
separate (since the plugin doesn't need liblo and the GUI
doesn't need FFTW.)
* Added a non-realtime worker thread and 'PADsynth' oscillator type.
20051231 smbolton
* Recreated the wavetables, without the boneheaded bandlimiting
error that was causing several of the the tables to alias badly
over portions of their key range. Added several new waveforms,
including some missing SQ-80 ones, and the Bristol 'jagged-edged
ramp'.
* Added the 'Dual Delay' effect.
* Incorporated the 4-pole lowpass filter from amSynth.
* Added a persistent comment field to the patches.
* Updated the default patches, with a number of new native patches
(including contributions from Nigel Henry and Garett Shulman),
and redid the K4 interpretations after fixing some bugs in the
import code. Included in the extra/ directory are the WhySynth
20051005 default patches, in case anyone needs them for
backwards compatibility, and 454 new K4 interpretations.
* A new Configuration option, 'Cancel Notes On Program Change',
controls whether WhySynth will stop any playing notes before it
performs a program change, which can prevent nasty surprises if
the previous and new patches are not compatible. Defaults to
'On'.
* WhySynth now uses gcc/glibc 'constructor' and 'destructor'
attributes instead of the deprecated _init() and _fini()
functions (needed for OS X 10.4 'Tiger').
* WhySynth_gtk no longer echos host-initiated control changes back
to the host.
* DSSI 'hide' now hides the patch edit window, too.
20051005 smbolton
* First release.
20050710 smbolton
* On this dark and stormy night, Xsynth-DSSI began a series of
profound and rapid mutations, acquired K4-ish wavetable
oscillators, and was reborn as WhySynth.
