-Remove Hue as a saved parameter, as well as animation parameters associated with it. It's now a GUI-only field that is never saved.
-Make histogram, density filter buffer, and all associated fields always float, even when using double. In that case, only the iteration calculations are now double. Suggested by Thomas Ludwig.
-Print all three kernels in EmberRender when the --dump_kernel option is specified.
-Apply variations filter to randoms.
--Bug fixes
-Fix bug where hue was not being preserved when switching controllers and embers. Very hard to repro bug, but mostly overcome by eliminating hue as a saved parameter.
--Code changes
-De-templatized DEOpenCLKernelCreator and FinalAccumOpenCLKernelCreator. They now just take a bool as a parameter to specify double precision.
-To accommodate the buffers being float, introduce a new #define types in EmberCL called real4_bucket, and real4reals_bucket.
-Density and spatial filtering structs now use this type.
-ConvertDensityFilter() and ConvertSpatialFilter() no longer return a value, they just assign to the member.
Allow for detaching of top level tabs in the dock widget so workspaces can be customized.
Save workspace between runs.
Only correct variation names/params during parsing when the source of the Xml file is not from Ember/Fractorium.
Allow for setting rendering thread priorities from the command line and final render dialog. Currently only implemented on Windows.
Show estimated time left on the final render dialog.
Sort palette list by name, instead of by index in the palette file.
Sorting can be flipped by clicking the column headers of the palette table.
--Code changes
Remove unnecessary connect() statement in Variations tab.

Thread image writing in EmberAnimate and when doing animation sequence in final render dialog.
Add total time output for verbose mode in EmberAnimate to match EmberRender.
--Bug Fixes
Fix incorrect iters ran/requested percentage in EmberAnimate to match EmberRender.
Fix motion blur being disabled when doing animations in final render dialog.
Allow for boolean command line options which default to true to be set to false.
--Code Changes
Minor changes to enable a Mac build.
Double the memory required for the final output buffer in RendererBase::MemoryRequired() when threading image writing.
Reuse same buffer for RgbaToRgb() in EmberRender and EmberAnimate.
Only resize in RgbaToRgb() if the two vectors are not the same.
Add a final output buffer ping-ponging mechanism to facilitate threaded writes in controllers.
Make EmberRender and EmberAnimate place their output renders in the same folder of the input parameter file. Previously it was just placing them in the same folder as the executable, which is wrong.
RendererBase: Add ComputeCamera() as a virtual function. Add strips parameter to TotalIterCount().
Renderer: Implement ComputeCamera() as an override.
SpatialFilter: Ensure filters that are too small are made large enough to create.
FinalRenderDialog: Add estimated iters table row and populate on all UI updates.
FractoriumParams: Zoom was not being saved, loaded. Fixed.
GLWidget: Prevent mouse wheel event from being passed to the scroll bars. It should only affect the scale.
--User Changes
Size is no longer fixed to the window size.
Size scaling is done differently in the final render dialog. This fixes several bugs.
Remove Xml saving size from settings and options dialog, it no longer applies.
Final render can be broken into strips.
Set default save path to the desktop if none is found in the settings file.
Set default output size to 1920x1080 if none is found in the settings file.
--Bug Fixes
Better memory size reporting in final render dialog.
--Code Changes
Migrate to C++11, Qt 5.3.1, and Visual Studio 2013.
Change most instances of unsigned int to size_t, and int to intmax_t.
Add m_OrigPixPerUnit and m_ScaleType to Ember for scaling purposes.
Replace some sprintf_s() calls in XmlToEmber with ostringstream.
Move more non-templated members into RendererBase.
Add CopyVec() overload that takes a per element function pointer.
Add vector Memset().
Replace '&' with '+' instead of "&" in XmlToEmber for much faster parsing.
Break strips rendering out into EmberCommon and call from EmberRender and Fractorium.
Make AddAndWriteBuffer() just call WriteBuffer().
Make AddAndWriteImage() delete the existing image first before replacing it.
Add SetOutputTexture() to RendererCL to support making new textures in response to resize events.
Remove multiple return statements in RendererCL, and replace with a bool that tracks results.
Add ToDouble(), MakeEnd(), ToString() and Exists() wrappers in Fractorium.
Add Size() wrapper in EmberFile.
Make QString function arguments const QString&, and string with const string&.
Make ShowCritical() wrapper for invoking a message box from another thread.
Add combo box to TwoButtonWidget and rename.
--User Changes
Add --yaxisup and --supersample options for command line programs.
--Bug Fixes
Make certain options available only to the command line programs in
which they make sense. Most were good, some were misplaced.
--Code Changes
Include pure render time as part of stats.
Output iters/sec measurement in EmberRender and EmberAnimate.
--Bug Fixes
Spatial filter would not be correctly recreated on subsequent runs of
differing supersample values during final render.
Fix DCBubble, Funnel, SphericalN,
Wrong logic with some usage of DO_DOUBLE. Only relevant for testing.
Use uint64 for iters/sec calculation on final render dialog. int was
overflowing on extremely fast GPU renders.
--Code Changes
Make density, spatial and temporal filters preserve the values they were
created with. This helps in determining when a new instance is needed.
Better NULL checks when copying embers and xforms.
Rename members in FractoriumEmberControllerBase.h to omit duplicating
the members declared in the base.
0.4.0.9 Beta 07/27/2014
--User Changes
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.
Make Interference2 and ho use fabs().
0.4.0.7 Beta 07/26/2014
--User Changes
Color code xforms like Apo does.
Change other aspects of xform color drawing.
Add option to invert the Y axis to both the options final render
dialogs.
Coordinate Y axis setting with preview renders.
Add option to show all xforms when dragging. Previously, only the
current one was shown.
Make final render dialog appear in the middle of the screen.
Immediately draw yellow selection dot on mouse down.
--Bug Fixes
Resize final render dialog vertically if it's taller than the 90% of the
desktop area.
Add scrollbars to various UI areas to be more friendly to low resolution
monitors. This works well down to vertical resolutions of 960. Below
that, things will get scrunched.
