--Bug fixes
Prevent xform index flickering whenever changing the number of xforms.
--Code changes
Remove ForEach() wrappers and replace with range based for loops with auto.

Update tool tips accordingly.
--Bug fixes
Fix NAN in equalized weight calculation when all weights are set to 0.
--Code changes
Clean up strange nested usage of Update([&]()) calls when changing xform color index via either the spinner or scroll bar. Made no sense.
Make ISAAC RandBit() use RandByte() to be slightly more efficient.
Put FillXforms() in the controller where it belongs, rather than the main window class.
Add UpdateXform() function to the controller to handle applying operations to multiple xforms.
Remove the word "Current" out of most xform related functions because they now operate on whatever is selected.
Properly use Update() for various xform operations whereas before it was manually calling UpdateRender().
Also properly use Update() in places where it was erroneously using UpdateXform() for things that did not involve xforms.
Block signals in FillXaosTable().
Add new file named FractoriumXformsSelect.cpp to handle new xform selection code.
--User changes
Use actual strips count when computing memory requirements in the final render dialog.

--Code Changes
Major work to get it running on Linux.
Migrate from QGLWidget to QOpenGLWidget.
Delayed init due to QOpenGLWidget.
Break RendererBase::MemoryRequired() into two functions, it and HistMemRequired() and return a tuple.
Add GlobalMemSize() and MaxAllocSize() functions in OpenCLWrapper.
Change CHOOSE_XFORM_GRAIN to be 16384, so we can & with 16383 instead of using modulo when selecting an xform. This results in a 9% speed increase on the CPU.
Save each newly loaded ember in a file called "last.flame" in the executable folder. This will help diagnose crashes that occur when switching embers.
Use nullptr instead of NULL in the Fractorium project. It had previously been done in all other places.
--User Changes
Remove limit on the number of xforms allowable on the GPU. This was previously 21.
Show actual strips count to be used in parens outside of user specified strips count on final render dialog.
Allow for adjustment of iteration depth and fuse count per ember and save/read these values with the xml.
Iteration optimizations on both CPU and GPU.
Automatically adjust default quality spinner value when using CPU/GPU to 10/30, respectively.

Make integer variation parameters use 4 decimal places in the variations list like all the others.
New build of the latest Qt to fix scroll bar drawing bug.
Prevent grid from showing as much when pressing control to increase a spinner's increment speed. Still shows sometimes, but better than before.
--Code Changes
Pass count and fuse to iterator as a structure now to allow for passing more params in the future.
Slightly different grid/block logic when running DE filtering on the GPU.
Attempt a different way of doing DE, but #define out because it ended up not being faster.
Restructure some things to allow for a variable length xforms buffer to be passed to the GPU.
Add sub batch size and fuse count as ember members, and remove them from the renderer classes.
Remove m_LastPass from Renderer. It should have been removed with passes.
Pass seeds as a buffer to the OpenCL iteration kernel, rather than a single seed that gets modified.
Slight optimization on CPU accum.
Use case statement instead of if/else for xform chosing in OpenCL for a 2% speedup on params with large numbers of xforms.
Add SizeOf() wrapper around sizeof(vec[0]) * vec.size().
Remove LogScaleSum() functions from the CPU and GPU because they're no longer used since passes were removed.
Make some OpenCLWrapper getters const.
Better ogranize RendererCL methods that return grid dimensions.
0.4.0.9 Beta 07/27/2014

Properly set tab order on all controls.
Calculate and report iters/second in the final render dialog.
Immediately draw yellow dot on xform mouse down on previously unselected
xform.
--Bug Fixes
Fix GlynnSim1, GlynnSim2, GlynnSim3 and juliaNab by ensuring the first
argument to pow() is >= 0.
Ensure OpenCL platform and device combo boxes in the final render dialog
expand as needed.
--Code Changes
Make VariationTreeSpinbox take its parent VariationTreeWidgetItem as a
constructor argument. This makes SetupVariationTree() and
VariationSpinBoxValueChanged() more efficient.

julia3d, julia3dz, loonie, mirror_x, mirror_y, mirror_z, rotate_x,
sinusoidal, spherical, spherical3d, stripes.
Unique filename on final render was completely broken.
Two severe OpenCL bugs. Random seeds were biased and fusing was being
reset too often leading to results that differ from the CPU.
Subtle, but sometimes severe bug in the setup of the xaos weights.
Use properly defined epsilon by getting the value from
std::numeric_limits, rather than hard coding 1e-6 or 1e-10.
Omit incorrect usage of epsilon everywhere. It should not be
automatically added to denominators. Rather, it should only be used if
the denominator is zero.
Force final render progress bars to 100 on completion. Sometimes they
didn't seem to make it there.
Make variation name and params comparisons be case insensitive.
--Code Changes
Make ForEach and FindIf wrappers around std::for_each and std::find_if.
