[LAA] FluidSynth 1.0.8 released

I'm pleased to announce the release of FluidSynth 1.0.8. Dubbed "Its about funky time!", since it was almost 2 years ago since the last release. If you like HTML change logs, have a look at: http://fluidsynth.resonance.org/trac/wiki/ChangeLog1_0_8 Features and improvements ------------------------- * Improved synthesis interpolation (around loops for smoother looping, optimizations and improved flexibility) * Dithering on 16 bit converted output (thanks to Mihail Zenkov for noting the problem and providing patches) * Updated fluidmax plugin with polyphony parameter * Improved ALSA audio and sequencer drivers. * Fixed some Floating Point Exceptions which were causing excessive CPU usage * Some fixes to Chorus and Reverb parameters (thanks to David Hilvert for noting problems and providing patches) Bug fixes --------- * Looping/tuning problem when loop end close to end of sample (Ticket #4 - Thanks to Tomas Nykung for reporting and providing example SoundFonts). * FluidSynth crashes with QSynth and audio meters turned on (Ticket #5 - Thanks to David Hilvert for reporting) * ALSA sequencer driver no longer prints out false error messages * Many memory leaks plugged (thanks to Paul Millar for pointing out issues and providing some patches) * Warning message printed if a non option is not a valid SoundFont or MIDI file (thanks to Nick Daly for the patch). Code cleanup other misc. stuff ------------------------------ * Fixed Visual Studio Windows project files and other fixes to build on this platform * Removed broken SSE support. * Removed memory alignment hacks (no longer needed). * Function comments sprinkled throughout the code (not finished yet) * Updated fluidsynth man page. * Updated README-OSX (from Ebrahim Mayat) * Added --enable-fpe-check and --enable-trap-on-fpe configure options to aid in Floating Point Exception debugging Grab it directly from: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/fluid/ Main project page: http://www.fluidsynth.org Best regards, Josh Green
