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.

--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.
Fix small bug when setting the current ember in the final render dialog when showing it.
Have Wix installer point to proper location for installed vcredist DLLs.
Remove VS2010 builds dir.
--User Changes
None.
--Bug Fixes
Fix broken continuity of randomness in OpenCL when using strips, broken in last build.
Fix broken density filtering dimensions in OpenCL which left black lines, broken in last build.
Fix broken preview update on when the only change is scale.
Update density filtering progress bar to 100% in final render dialog when DE radius is 0 (disabled).
--Code Changes
Make RendererBase::RandVec() virtual.
--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.
--Bug Fixes
Fix severe randomization bug with OpenCL.
Fix undo list off by one error when doing a new edit anywhere but the end of the undo list.
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.
--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.
0.4.0.5 Beta 07/18/2014
--User Changes
Allow for vibrancy values > 1.
Add flatten and unflatten menu items.
Automatically flatten like Apophysis does.
Add plugin and new_linear tags to Xml to be compatible with Apophysis.
--Bug Fixes
Fix blur, blur3d, bubble, cropn, cross, curl, curl3d, epispiral, ho,
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.
