Apr 11, 2024
  • A lot of player cleanup and refactoring, thanks to initial work by Azamat H. Hackimov, with addition of several safeguards and minor fixes.

  • New native audio output backends for player: coreaudio for macOS, sndio for OpenBSD, netbsd (sunaudio) for NetBSD.
  • Improved pkg-config file generation in cmake script (bug #236).
  • Workaround a link failure on AmigaOS4 with newer SDKs (bug #241).

  • Fixed MUS drum channels 9 and 15 being swapped if the same file is played twice from the same memory buffer (bug #234).
  • Player: Fixed save midi reading wrong argv if there are no path seperators (bug #227).

  • Fixed possible out of bounds reads in sysex commands (bug #190).
  • Fixed invalid reads during config parse with short patch file names.
  • Do not treat a missing end-of-track marker as an error for type-0
  • midi files (bug #183).
  • Fixed bad reading of high delta values in XMI converter (bug #199).
  • Fixed a memory leak when freeing a midi (bug #204).
  • Fixed slurred/echoy playback at quick tempos on looped instruments
  • (bug #185).
  • Fixed certain midis sounding different compared to timidity, as if
  • instruments not turned off (bug #186).

  • Worked around a build failure with newer FreeBSD versions failing to
  • retrieve the ONLCR constant (Bug #171).
  • Fixed a minor Windows unicode issue (PR #170).
  • A few other fixes / clean-ups.
