-Add animation sequence creation to Fractorium.
-Add two new options to EmberGenome which are used when generating an animation sequence.:
--startcount: Add this number to the filename of each flame.
--padding: Override the automatically calculated amount of padding zeroes added to each filename.
--Bug fixes
-Prevent filenames in command line programs from using scientific notation when rendering a large number of frames.
-Fix tab orders to match newer GUI items which were overlooked in previous releases.
-Re-render previews if transparency value in the options dialog was changed. Re-rendering was previously only done if early clip or y axis up was changed.
-Use transparency when rendering thumbnail previews.
--Code changes
-Wrap EmberCommon.h in a namespace called EmberCommon.
-Move FormatName() from EmberGenome to EmberCommon.h/cpp
-Add a prefix parameter to EmberFile::DefaultFilename() to allow for creating a default filename for sequences.
-When showing the final render dialog, allow specifying where it came from: the toolbar or the render sequence button.
-Refactor all preview rendering code out into its own class hierarchy with overrides for the main window and the final render dialog.
-Remove all preview render cancelling functions, they are now built into the new class hierarchy and a new render will not start until the previous one is stopped.
-Add two new function ConstrainLow() and ConstrainHigh() which wrap constraining two min/max spinboxes to each others' values.
-Add a bool to FractoriumEmberControllerBase::CopyEmberFile() to specify whether to copy the main file or the sequence file. This is somewhat of a hack and was done in a rush.
-Add a bool to FractoriumEmberControllerBase::SetEmberFile() to specify whether to move the file rather than copy. This is used in FinalRenderEmberController and improves efficiency.
-Add wrapper functions for variations filter dialog settings.
-Highlight power is now on by default.
-Allow for adjustments on the Flame tab to apply to all open flames in the file.
-Add two new buttons to the color tab to randomize and toggle the xform color indices.
-Remove the --strip option from EmberGenome. It was useless and was likely just a carry over from flam3 during its early debugging stages when testing strips.
-Make randoms in EmberGenome have default dimensions of 1920 x 1080.
-Prevent --inter and --rotate in EmberGenome from rotating backward before the first flame since it doesn't really make sense.
-Ensure every loaded flame has at least one xform in it.
-Change dark.qss to hide dotted selection outline around checkboxes. Users must reload it to take effect.
--Bug fixes
-The saving of last.flame during editing was appending the file when it should have been replacing.
-It was impossible for EmberGenome to create a random flame. It can now be done by specifying no arguments: EmberGenome.exe

--Bug fixes
-dc_perlin was crashing on Nvidia when using SP.
-Duplicate images were randomly getting added to the file in memory.
-Crash when opening an Xml with less than 2 flames in it.
--Code changes
-Use raw array of floats in OpenCL for perlin noise, rather than float3/double3.
-Add some default cases to dc_perlin.
-Redo singleton pattern yet again. Deriving from a templated Singleton<T> class was creating a separate instance per module. Now only one instance of each type will ever be created and it will be wrapped in a shared_ptr which guarantees its deletion as main() exits.
-Remove the option --intpalette to format the palette in the xml as ints. If they are not hex formatted, then they should always be float. This option was pointless.
-Cleanup some options text for the command line programs.
-Allow for dragging around flames in the library tab. This is useful for setting up the order of an animation.
-Make the opening of large files in Fractorium much more efficient when not-appending.
-Make the opening of large files in all EmberRender and EmberAnimate more efficient.
-Better error reporting when opening files.
--Bug fixes

--Code changes
-Move GCC compiler spec to C++14. Building with 5.3 now on linux.
-Use inline member data initializers.
-Make a #define for static for use in Utils.h to make things a little cleaner.
-Make various functions able to take arbitrary collections as their parameters rather than just vectors.
-Make library collection a list rather than vector. This alleviates the need to re-sync pointers whenever the collection changes.
-Subclass QTreeWidget for the library tree. Two new files added for this.
-Remove all usage of #ifdef ROW_ONLY_DE in DEOpenCLKernelCreator, it was never used.
-Add move constructor and assignment operator to EmberFile.
-Add the ability to use a pointer to outside memory in the renderer for the vector of Ember<T>.
-Make a lot more functions const where they should be.
-Better handling of crossed min/max DE filter values on the GUI.
-Changes to spatial and density filter values will no longer restart the entire render.
-Support reading cam_zoom from xml as zoom since JWildfire uses cam_zoom.
-Change drag n drop behavior: the default is now to append, hold Ctrl to overwrite.
-Set max value of zoom to 25 because it will crash with values around 28 or 29 due to numeric overflow when scaling quality.
-Update links in About Dialog.
-Rename some controls in Options Dialog.
-Move the color curves control to the Palette tab.
--Bug fixes
-Remove extra space in info tree text when dealing with a linked xform.
-Update summary xform name field whenever xform name changes.

-Use stl data() member to get pointer to first element instead of &vec[0].
-Eliminate extra calls in renderer to ComputeBounds(), CreateSpatialFilter() and CreateTemporalFilter() to only be done at the start of a render.
-Another attempt at vectorizing LogScaleDensityFilter(). Vectorizes, but not sure if it helps.
-Some other loop optimizations in Renderer.
-No longer check temporal samples in response to some control changes, they are always 1 in the interactive renderer.
-Split VariationList into .h/cpp files.
--Make VariationList.cpp the only place where the variations files are included from. This speeds up the build, but variations can no longer be directly instantiated.
--Variations are no longer exported.
-Add variations changes to the list of functionality that can be applied to all xforms using the Select tab.
-Allow for graphical affine adjustments to apply to multiple selected xforms.
-Slight optimization of the pie variation.
-Undo state is only saved when the render completes and the mouse buttons are released. This helps avoid intermediate steps for quickly completing renders while dragging.
-Add some keyboard shortcuts for toolbar and menu items.
-Make info tab tree always expanded.
--Bug fixes
-Make precalcs for all hypertile variations safer by using Zeps() for denominators.
-Changing the current xform with more than one selected would set all xform's color index value that of the current one.
-Use hard found palette path information for randoms as well.

--Bug fixes
-Direct color calculations were wrong.
-Flattening was not applied to final xform.
-Fix "pure virtual function call" error on shutdown.
--Code changes
-Allow for array precalc params in variations by adding a size member to the ParamWithName class.
-In IterOpenCLKernelCreator, memcpy precalc params instead of a direct assign since they can now be of variable length.
-Add new file VarFuncs to consolidate some functions that are common to multiple variations. This also contains texture data for crackle and dc_perlin.
-Place OpenCL versions of these functions in the FunctionMapper class in the EmberCL project.
-Add new Singleton class that uses CRTP, is thread safe, and deletes after the last reference goes away. This fixes the usual "delete after main()" problem with singletons that use the static local function variable pattern.
-Began saving files with AStyle autoformatter turned on. This will eventually touch all files as they are worked on.
-Add missing backslash to CUDA include and library paths for builds on Nvidia systems.

-VariationsDC.h: Fix NVidia OpenCL compilation error in DCTriangleVariation.
-FractoriumXformsColor.cpp: Checking for null pixmap pointer is not enough, must also check if the underlying buffer is null via call to QPixmap::isNull().

-EmberCommonPch.h: #pragma once only on Windows.
-EmberOptions.h:
--Remove --platform option, it's just sequential device number now with the --device option.
--Make --out be OPT_USE_RENDER instead of OPT_RENDER_ANIM since it's an error condition when animating. It makes no sense to write all frames to a single image.

-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.

-Add export statements to FractoriumInfo.cpp.
-Remove image parameter from SetPaletteTableItem(), it was a bad design.
-InitToolbarUI() is now empty since toolbar initialization happens automatically. Leave as a placeholder.

Block signals in FillXaosTable().
Add new file named FractoriumXformsSelect.cpp to handle new xform selection code.
Make xaos display a matrix rather than a single column. This will be moved out into its own tab since it's no longer xform dependent, but that will be in a future commit.

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.

Make some OpenCLWrapper getters const.
Better ogranize RendererCL methods that return grid dimensions.
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.

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.
