2.5.0

Starting with 2.5.0, a C++11-compliant compiler and standard library will be \ 
required to compile fluidsynth! Additionally, users now have to link \ 
Fluidsynth's library libfluidsynth against the C++ standard library that was \ 
used when compiling fluidsynth.

It is now possible to compile fluidsynth without GLib! Pass -Dosal=cpp11 \ 
-Denable-libinstpatch=0 to CMake when compiling fluidsynth. In addition, if you \ 
use a C++17-compliant compiler, fluidsynth will be compiled with native DLS \ 
support! Precompiled Windows binaries will be provided for both flavors: glib \ 
and C++11 as OSAL.

Support for GLib and libinstpatch is hereby deprecated. They will be removed in \ 
2.6.0.

New Features

Add a C++11-based OS abstraction layer as a replacement for glib, bringing these \ 
minor limitations when C++17 is unavailable
Add native support for Downloadable Soundfont Format
Fluidsynth now recognizes the DMOD INFO-subchunk
A new positional flag has been introduced: -b, --bank-offset,
Fluidsynth now natively supports the long CLI option flags on Windows
Fluidsynth now supports native Android logging

Breaking Changes

Support for SDL2 has been removed - pls. use SDL3 instead
The processing order of fluidsynth's configuration files has been changed
The legacy shell commands for reverb and chorus have been removed

Musically Breaking Changes

It was discovered that fluidsynth was mapping some modulators slightly \ 
inaccurately into their normalized range
Some Roland GS NPRN Params are now mapped to CC numbers
Fluidsynth now auto-detects whether Portamento Time is 7bit or 14bit wide - this \ 
fixes the infamous Descent Game08 tune
Previously, fluidsynth's default behavior was to use portamento only for those \ 
notes, that were played in a successive / legato manner; to further improve the \ 
portamento experience, this was changed and fluidsynth now plays portamento for \ 
all notes by default

Other Changes

Fix drum kits not always being selected after SysEx GS Rythm Part
The LGPL license now uses the remote-only FSF address
The logic for parsing INFO chunks has been revised to improve handling of \ 
unknown INFO-subchunks
Fix a race condition in fluid_synth_alloc_voice() public API function
Fix installing static and shared libs cmake targets on the same prefix
The auto-generated lookup tables - that vcpkg and cross-compiling users have \ 
learned to love so much - are gone!
