-Add a progress bar for sequence previews.
--Bug fixes
-Attempt to prevent crash when dragging in a new file while the previews from the current file are still rendering.
-Remove the Type field from the variations tree and instead just put the type indicator icon next to the variation name.
-Double clicking to toggle variation parameter spinners now resets the value to the default if there is one, else it uses zero. If it is already using the default, it is toggled to 0.
-Add a new button to toggle xaos on and off.
-When duplicating a flame, insert it immediately after the one being duplicated instead of at the end of the file.
-When switching between flames in a file, keep the same xform index selected rather than resetting it to the first xform each time.
-Create a threaded writer for the final render and EmberAnimate so the rendering process does not get delayed by file saving which may take a long time.
-Remove warning which said "Frames per rot cannot be greater than one while Rotations is zero" when generating a sequence.
-Add the Circle_Rand variation from Chaotica.
-Add tool tips to clarify the following items:
--Auto Unique Filenames checkbox in the options dialog.
--Xaos table headers.
--Bug fixes
-Generating sequences using the following variations would be done incorrectly: circletrans1, collideoscope, crob, curlsp, glynnsim1, glynnsim2, hypercrop, julian, julian, mobiusn, nblur, waves2, wavesn.
-Adding/removing nodes from the color curve had accidentally been disabled.
-The applied xaos weight table was not showing normalized weight values.
-Changing the size of a flame was not observing the Apply To All checkbox.
-Do not clamp the Rotate field to +/-180, because this causes the rotation to switch from CW to CCW during sequence generation. Instead, leave it exactly as the user entered it so the rotations proceed in the same direction.
-Fix stylesheets.
-Make various fields in the options window be resettable via double click.
-Get stylesheets working properly on Windows and Linux with Qt6.
-Set default style to Fusion.
--Code changes
-Get build and deployment scripts working with latest versions of Qt6, AppImage, and various library dependencies.
-Add two new macros so it would build with the latest gcc: SINGLETON_DERIVED_DECL_T and SINGLETON_DERIVED_IMPL_T.
-Small changes to opencl.hpp.
-Center progress bars on Linux.
-Proper sizing of vertical header on the xaos visualization table on Linux.
-Add new preset dimensions to the right click menu of the width and height fields in the editor.
-Change QSS stylesheets to properly handle tabs.
-Make tabs rectangular by default. For some reason, they had always been triangular.
--Bug fixes
-Incremental rendering times in the editor were wrong.
--Code changes
-Migrate to Qt6. There is probably more work to be done here.
-Migrate to VS2022.
-Migrate to Wix 4 installer.
-Change installer to install to program files for all users.
-Fix many VS2022 code analysis warnings.
-No longer use byte typedef, because std::byte is now a type. Revert all back to unsigned char.
-Upgrade OpenCL headers to version 3.0 and keep locally now rather than trying to look for system files.
-No longer link to Nvidia or AMD specific OpenCL libraries. Use the generic installer located at OCL_ROOT too.
-Add the ability to change OpenCL grid dimensions. This was attempted for investigating possible performance improvments, but made no difference.
This has not been verified on Linux or Mac yet.
--User changes
-Allow users to set the Exp value when using the Exp temporal filter type.
-Set the default temporal filter type to be Box, which does not alter the palette values at all during animation. This is done to avoid confusion when using Gaussian or Exp which can produce darkened images.
--Bug fixes
-Sending a sequence to the final render dialog when the keyframes had non zero rotate and center Y values would produce off center animations when rendered.
-Temporal filters were being unnecessarily recreated many times when rendering or generating sequences.
-Exp filter was always treated like a Box filter.
--Code changes
-Add a new member function SaveCurrentAsXml(QString filename = "") to the controllers which is only used for testing.
-Modernize some C++ code.
-Allow for specifying linear or smooth interpolation when generating a sequence in the Library tab (was formerly hardcoded to smooth). This has the effect of exposing the --unsmoother option used in EmberGenome in the GUI.
-Clarify tool tips of the sequence interpolation fields in the animation group on the Flame tab.
-Change caption of the Bounds tab to be Bounds & Log.
-Allow dragging in folders which will be recursively traversed for flame files.
-Allow for adjusting scale via keyboard with the < and > keys.
-Show the count of opened flames on the header of the library tree.
--Bug fixes
-Attempt to preserve xaos when pasting xforms.
--Code changes
-Default flam3 compatibility mode to true.
