Subject: [Audio-engine-dev] Gervill 0.7 just released
Message-ID: <36EC82E93EB0AD40A4301DAD654323868C9B0EC656@mail.midverk.is>

Hi,

Version 0.7 has also just been released,  and can be downloaded here:
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=175084&package_id=246500&release_id=570228

Gervill project page at java.net is:
  http://gervill.dev.java.net/

Change log:
  - Fix: General MIDI mode,
    and voice_allocation_mode flag wasn't reseted on open/close cycle.
  - Fix: Added support for implicit open/close
    (as described in http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/sound/midi/MidiDevice.html)
    (JTreg test also added)
    This done by implementing com.sun.media.sound.ReferenceCountingDevice interface.
  - Fix: SoftReceiver.close doesn't throw exception if closed.
    (now behaves like SoftSynthesizer.close)
  - Fix: Close variable wasn't accessed in Thread safe way in:
    SoftReceiver, SoftSynthesizer.
  - Fix: Hang in SoftSynthesizer.close.
        SoftAudioPusher must not be closed synchronized against control_mutex
        this may result in synchronized conflict between pusher and caller thread.
  - Fix: Bad handling of mono output in SoftVoice.processAudioLogic,
    this error was found running the new SoftSynthesizer/TestRender1 jtreg test.
  - Added: ModelDirector to support conditional layers/performers.
  - Added: ReleaseTrigger property to ModelPerformer.
  - Added: ModelAbstractOscillator to simplify creation custom oscillators.
  - Added: ModelChannelMixer to support for example non-voice oriented instruments.
  - Added: Support for more than 16 midi channels.
  - Added: JARSoundBankReader.
  - Change default latency from 400 to 200 mec.
