--User changes
-Make all fonts be MS Shell Dlg 2. This will require reloading dark.qss if users are already using it.
-Limit size of the left side of the palette editor.
-Disable create from image buttons in the palette editor when working on a fixed palette.
--Bug fixes
-The following variations were wrong: coshq, cothq.

--Code changes
-Make the following variations safer by using Zeps(): sinq, sinhq, secq, sechq, tanq, tanhq, cosq, coshq, cotq, cothq, cscq, cschq, estiq.
-Always pass -cl-no-signed-zeros -cl-denorms-are-zero to kernel compiles for both single and double.
-Flush all denormals to zero for all executable programs. This will likely lead to a speedup for badly behaving programs.
--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

-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.

-Split conditional out of accumulation loop on the CPU for better performance.

-Remove default param values for IterOpenCLKernelCreator<T>::SharedDataIndexDefines in cpp file.
-Change more NULL to nullptr.
-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.

-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
-Get rid of leftover artifacts that would appear on preview thumbnails when either switching SP/DP or re-rendering previews.
-Filename extension was not being appended on Linux when saving as Xml, thus making it impossible to drag that file back in becase drop is filtered on extension.
--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 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.

-Unitialized local variables in hexaplay3D, crob, pRose3D.

-Inform user of the start and stop of file parsing in EmberAnimate because the files could potentially be very large.
-Move the follwing fields to a new table called Animation: Interpolation, Affine Interpolation, Temporal Samples, Temporal Filter Width, Temporal Filter Type.
-These currently have no effect on the interactive renderer and instead are used when running flames through EmberGenome to generate sequences, and then animating them in Fractorium or EmberAnimate.
-Add new parameter overrides for EmberRender and EmberAnimate which directly assign values to all flames being rendered, rather than scale:
--quality
--demin
--demax
--Bug fixes
-Left pad instead of right pad names of sequence outputs from EmberGenome.
-Unique file naming was broken for files which already had an underscore in them.
-Properly report that png is the default format of EmberRender and EmberAnimate output instead of erroneously claiming it was jpg.

/usr/share/fractorium
/usr/local/share/fractorium

--Code changes
-Generalize Variation::PrecalcHelper() and rename to PrePostPrecalcHelper().

--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.

-Allow for pre/post versions of dc_bubble, dc_cylinder and dc_linear whereas before they were omitted.
-When saving a file with multiple embers in it, detect if time values are all the same and if so, start them at zero and increment by 1 for each ember.
-Allow for numerous quality increases to be coalesced into one. It will pick up at the end of the current render.
-Show selection highlight on variations tree in response to mouse hover. This makes it easier to see for which variation or param the current mouse wheel action will apply.
-Make default temporal samples be 100, whereas before it was 1000 which was overkill.
-Require the shift key to be held with delete for deleting an ember to prevent it from triggering when the user enters delete in the edit box.
-This wasn't otherwise fixable without writing a lot more code.
--Bug fixes
-EmberGenome was crashing when generating a sequence from a source file with more than 2 embers in it.

-Disallow renaming of an ember in the library tree to an empty string.
-Severe bug that prevented some variations from being read correctly from params generated outside this program.
-Severe OpenCL randomization bug. The first x coordinates of the first points in the first kernel call of the first ember of a render since the OpenCL renderer object was created were not random and were mostly -1.
-Severe bug when populating xform selection distributions that could sometimes cause a crash due to roundoff error. Fix by using double.
-Limit the max number of variations in a random ember to MAX_CL_VARS, which is 8. This ensures they'll look the same on CPU and GPU.
-Prevent user from saving stylesheet to default.qss, it's a special reserved filename.
--Code changes

-Print all three kernels in EmberRender when the --dump_kernel option is specified.

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.
