wxMidi: Changes between versions

wxMidi 2.0 (2015/Jan/12)

Length of wxMidiSysExMessage uses now a 'long' instead of an 'int'. Therefore:
- method wxMidiSysExMessage::Length() now returns a long.
- method wxMidiSysExMessage::SetLength() now requires a long as parameter.
This change was required to avoid a limit of 32KB for SysEx messages.

Fixed bug causing occasional problems when receiving sysex messages (thanks to Brian Walton for reporting this bug, tracing its origin and helping in tests).
Added code to detect and signal a timeout in the recepcion of SysEx messages. This could happend if midi cable is disconnected during a SysEx transmision.
Added optional parameter to wxMidiDeviceIn() constructor for specifying the wait time (seconds) to finish an incomplete SysEx message before reporting a timeout error. By default, 5 seconds.
Added optional parameter to method wxMidiDeviceIn::Open() for specifying the buffer size to be used by the portmidi library. Default value has been increased to 4KB.
Removed artificial limitation for receiving SysEx messages larger that 10,000 bytes. As a consequence, error code wxMIDI_ERROR_BadSysExMsg_Length has been removed.
Added two new translations: German, thanks to Undine Peters; Simplified Chinese, thanks to 卢文汐 (Wenxi Lu).
Documentation updated and rewriten for using Doxygen.
Minor changes in code, mainly for avoiding a couple of compilation warnings and for including documentation in source code.
Added more functionality to midisound sample application to allow to test more MIDI commands.

Portmidi latest version (217) has changed the definition of PmTimestamp from 'long' to 'int'. This causes some compilation problems in wxMidi that has been fixed. Code reviewed to ensure compatibility.
Fixed a couple of compilation errors due to changes introduced by wxWidgets 2.8.12
Added optional parameter to method wxMidiDatabaseGM::PopulateWithInstruments for optionally adding a sequence number to the listed items.
Added three new translations: Italian (Mauro Giubileo), Basque (Karlos del Olmo Serna) and Galician (Emilio Mesías and Xema Sanxurxo Rodríguez)

Static string initializations removed. This caused problems for internationalization.
Added 'locale' folder with .po and .mo language files. Spanish translation added.
Distributed wxMidi libraries precompiled with wxWidgets 2.6.3
lib names changed. No longer include version number

Added patch to PortMidi (contributed by Andreas Micheler) to fix memory leaks problem in PortMidi.
Distributed wxMidi libraries precompiled with wxWidgets 2.6.2
