-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.
-Give tabs a height of 4px in the qss files. Looks a little large on 4k screens, but just right on HD screens which are much more common.
-Allow for styling of zero and non-zero variation tree nodes via qss.
-Allow for toggling whether to interpolate between colors in the palette editor, or to do hard cuts between colors.
-Allow for adjusting spinner values with the + = or up arrow keys to increase, and - _ or down arrow keys to decrease.
-Allow for responding to global presses of + = and - _ to cycle up or down to specify which xform is set as the current one.
-Allow for adding "layers" via xaos which will add a user-specified number of xforms, and set certain xaos values to 0 or 1.
-Add a new menu item under the Edit menu to copy the OpenCL iteration kernel source to the clipboard.
-Show text on the status bar which indicates that an OpenCL kernel compilation is taking place.
-Show xform name on xform combo box when expanded. Adjust size to fit all names.
-Draw post affine circles using dashed lines.
-Prevent QSS dialog from styling its editor, which makes it easier to see text when creating styles which have custom colors for text boxes.
--Bug fixes
-Fix up some table layouts which seemed to have regressed/decayed over time for reasons unknown.
-Using undo/redo would create a new flame in the library every time.
-Solo was not being preserved when using undo/redo.
--Code changes
-Make the solo flag be a part of the flame data now.
-Fix some tabification in the OpenCL code for EllipticVariation.
-Fix tabification in the varState code for OpenCL.
-Add an event called m_CompileBegun to RendererCL that is called right before an OpenCL compile is begun.
--This required making RendererCLBase not a pure virtual base class. Member functions just return defaults.
-Filter key presses on main window to only process the third one. This is due to Qt triggering three events for every key press.
-The palette preview table was installing an event filter for seemingly no reason. Remove it.
-Mark certain virtual functions as override in SpinBox and DoubleSpinBox.
--User changes
-dark.qss is now per-OS.
-Properly set/reload palette when coming from the palette editor. The latter must be done if they've modified the current palette even if they've clicked cancel.
--Bug fixes
-Make the following variations safer by using Zeps(): conic, bipolar, edisc, whorl, tan, csc, cot, tanh, sech, csch, coth, auger, bwraps, hypertile3d, hypertile3d1, ortho, poincare, rational3, barycentroid, sschecks, cscq, cschq, scry_3D, splitbrdr, hexcrop, nblur, crob.
-Fix bug enabling/disabling overwrite button in palette editor.
-Small optimization for gdoffs, use precalcAtanYX.
-Properly propagate z through circlesplit, cylinder2 and tile_log variations.
-Some values in truchet_fill could've been NaN.
--Code changes
-Make most installation files read only.
-Qualify many calls with std:: to ensure they're not colliding with glm::
-Use auto in more places.
--User changes
-Add support for adjusting xform color indices in the palette editor. Fixed palettes can now be displayed there, but they will have no color arrows as they are not editable.
-Add support for independent dimension scaling in the EmberRender and EmberAnimate programs to bring them in line with the final render dialog Fractorium.
--Bug fixes
-File paths with a space in them did not work in the command line programs.
-Any Xml file in the search paths would erroneously be treated as a palette file.
--Code changes
-Change some for loops to while loops when iterating through xforms.
-Allow FractoriumEmberController<T>::UpdateXform() to be able to apply the action to an xform at a specific index.
-Remove old code blocks build files that were never used.
-Make GetPath() return empty string if no path is present in the passed in file path.
-GetTotalXform() was always counting the final xform, even if it was unused.
-Add a palette editor.
-Add support for reading .ugr/.gradient/.gradients palette files.
-Allow toggling on spinners whose minimum value is not zero.
-Allow toggling display of image, affines and grid.
-Add new variations: cylinder2, circlesplit, tile_log, truchet_fill, waves2_radial.
--Bug fixes
-cpow2 was wrong.
-Palettes with rapid changes in color would produce slightly different outputs from Apo/Chaotica. This was due to a long standing bug from flam3.
-Use exec() on Apple and show() on all other OSes for dialog boxes.
-Trying to render a sequence with no frames would crash.
-Selecting multiple xforms and rotating them would produce the wrong rotation.
-Better handling when parsing flames using different encoding, such as unicode and UTF-8.
-Switching between SP/DP didn't reselect the selected flame in the Library tab.
--Code changes
-Make all types concerning palettes be floats, including PaletteTableWidgetItem.
-PaletteTableWidgetItem is no longer templated because all palettes are float.
-Include the source colors for user created gradients.
-Change parallel_for() calls to work with very old versions of TBB which are lingering on some systems.
-Split conditional out of accumulation loop on the CPU for better performance.
-Vectorize summing when doing density filter for better performance.
-Make all usage of palettes be of type float, double is pointless.
-Allow palettes to reside in multiple folders, while ensuring only one of each name is added.
-Refactor some palette path searching code.
-Make ReadFile() throw and catch an exception if the file operation fails.
-A little extra safety in foci and foci3D with a call to Zeps().
-Cast to (real_t) in the OpenCL string for the w variation, which was having trouble compiling on Mac.
-Fixing missing comma between paths in InitPaletteList().
-Move Xml and PaletteList classes into cpp to shorten build times when working on them.
-Remove default param values for IterOpenCLKernelCreator<T>::SharedDataIndexDefines in cpp file.
-Change more NULL to nullptr.
