TODO LIST:
==============================================================================


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Architectural changes:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Eliminate memory leak in ALSA restart / shutdown.  Find and
  eliminate remaining memory leaks.

* Move GUI, phasex synth engine, audio and MIDI support, and
  application framework into separate shared libraries.

* Add thread-safe signal handlers for SIGQUIT and SIGTERM for saving
  patches, SIGUSR1 for LADISH, and SIGSTOP and SIGCONT for suspending
  workloads.

* Handle misconfigured / missing audio or MIDI driver gracefully.

* Use a table and loop to speed up init_params().

* Add CPU affinity and cgroup configuration support.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build system:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Add build / packaging options to exclude MIDI clock code.

* Add build rules to render knob and icon images from .svg files.

* Use tagged version from git for version referenced from build system.

* Create dev logo to use as main icon/logo in dev builds.

* Add --disable-inputs as a build option to configure.ac.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
API support:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Support DSSI/OSC for DSSI plugin build.  (low priority)

* Support LV2 for LV2 plugin build.  (low priority)

* LV2 plugin support in input/output signal chain.

* Support LV2 and DSSI instrument plugin hosting.

* LADSPA plugin support in signal chain.

* PortAudio / PortMIDI support.  (low priority)

* Better integration between LASH and native session management.

* Add LADISH support.

* Add Non Session Manager (NSM) support.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUI improvements:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Enable re-routing of JACK/ALSA audio connections in GUI.

* Create an improved ComboKnob widget that consists of a knob, an
  editable MIDI cc value w/ up & down arrows, and a non-editable
  display value in real units (like note value, freq in hz, dB, etc.)

* Add standard menus and menuitems where applicable.

* Add mouseover hints to show that param labels are clickable.

* Add BPM controller offset to the preferences.

* Add per-channel (per-part?) MIDI status indicators.

* Implement knob color switching (or even alpha-channel glowing rings)
  to indicate status (locked, mapped, etc.)

* Add proper finalization for GtkKnob and GtkKnobAnim, possibly
  turning GtkKnobAnim into a properl GTK class in the process.

* Finish alternate color themes.

* Add support for color coded knobs.

* Standardize config options with generic config item data structure.

* Add support and graphics to gtkknob for sliders.

* New layouts with parameters in horizontally arranged groups.

* New multi-tab layout (multiple pages of param groups).

* Add sensitivity_parent, sensitivity_parent_value_min,
  sensitivity_parent_value_max, visibility_parent,
  visibility_parent_value_min, and visibility_parent_value_max to
  PARAM struct for improved sensitivity tracking and added visibility
  tracking for auto-show / auto-hide parameters.

* Proper detection of desktop size for configuring theme on first launch.

* Add fixed-layout and skin support.

* New compact design for navigator bar.

* Error / Warning dialog popups and message log.  Currently, there is
  no mechanism in place to pass error, warning, or debug messages back
  up to the GUI.  This is a key step in eliminating the dependency of
  the command line.

* Standardize naming and use of callback arguments.

* Add user-verification for Reset Patch.

* Add laptop mode to gtkknob button handling:  Click once to grab a
  knob.  Once knob is grabbed, all touchpad L-R (or up-down) movements
  are translated into relative knob movements.  Any button events
  received while the knob is grabbed release the grab.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Synth improvements / new parameters:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Mono multichannel mode.  Optionally map oscillators to different
  MIDI channels.

* Optimize DSP algorithms.  Use vectorization where possible.  Replace
  conditionals with the use of function pointers in key places
  (starting with run_lfo() and run_osc()).

* Add fine tune and one-shot parameters for LFOs.

* Add Filter Cutoff Mod Amount to oscillators.

* Add modulations for Pan.

* Add pan flipping option to alternate pan between new notes.

* Implement generic parameter smoothing.

* Find a faster way than lookup tables for wave generation, that still
  works with current phase accumulator algorithms.

* Fine tune input follower a little better.

* Compressor section that integrates with input follower.

* Add option to play filter cutoff frequencies as MIDI notes on
  another MIDI channel.

* Add support for user loaded oscillator samples.

* Add support for full length sample playback.

* White / Pink noise generator w/ ability to modulate filter.

* Add a second filter with linking controls.

* Implement Hermite interpolation for under/over-sampling.

* Implement internal parameter smoothing for Chours Time.

* Add support for alternate tuning systems.

* More thorough support for velocity and aftertouch.

* Add a somewhat flexible modulation matrix.

* Implement an N-pole filter.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MIDI improvements:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Add MIDI clock event handling and integrate with new MIDI clock.

* Implement handling of MIDI song position pointer messages for LFO
  resync.

* Implement MMC and MTC.

* Add support for modwheel and generic high-res controllers.

* Add MIDI Program Change option to select sessions with values >= 64;


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JACK improvements:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Fix JACK Transport Tempo and LFO sync.

* Add JACK Freewheel mode.

* Add JACK audio connection tracking / routing.

* Add JACK connection tracking to save session state.

* Add JACK server selection support.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALSA improvements:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Allow connection to multiple (>2) outputs.

* Add ALSA persistent connection handling.

* Fix crash on changing ALSA PCM device when device is not ready.

* Implement retry on busy opening.

* Implement buffer size detection for no-config startup.

* Fix alsa_pcm_mix_parts() for 64-bit sample_t.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New major features:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Create a programmable arpeggiator.

* Command line / console interface.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New minor features:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Add configuration state to saved sessions.

* Print useful comments in patch output, like the real values that
  correspond to the MIDI cc values.
