-Add motion support from Simon Detheridge at the ember level instead of just individual xforms:
Add the ability to manipulate camera pitch, yaw and other goodies during flame rotation using a new element specified at the top-level of the flame.
Create a new 'saw' motion function, so that these values can effectively be looped (e.g. yaw -1 to +1) over the course of a rotation.
Add an offset to existing motion elements, to start them partway through their cycle. This would (for example) enable creating circular motion of xform affines, by combining two offset sine waves, one with an offset of 0.25 or 0.75.
Fix loops in EmberGenome (they only had an on/off effect - this was broken in flame-genome as well) and make the loop count floating-point as well. For sequence animations, it's not necessary for clips to loop precisely if they're not designed specifically for the ES project.
Similarly, there's no need for motion_frequency to be an integer value either so this was changed to allow motion that doesn't necessarily start or end at the loop boundary.
I've attempted to keep each bit of functionality in its own commit.
There's an argument as to whether to call the new flame motion elements <flame_motion/> (to differentiate programmatically) or just <motion/> (for consistency within the file) -- I opted for the former because it was easier to modify the xml parser that way.
--Code changes
-Change FlameMotion.h to EmberMotion.h to keep the naming convention consistent.
-Made elements of EmberMotion.m_MotionParams into their own type, MotionParam, which allows for CopyVec() to work.
-Change m_FlameMotionElements to m_EmberMotionElements in Ember.
-Use CopyVec() for EmberMotion instead of manual copy in copy constructors.
-Add exports in Ember.cpp for EmberMotion.
-Format eEmberMotionParam enum with one entry per line since it has many entries.
-Use fabs() in XmlToEmber instead of glm::abs.
-Minor formatting.
-Allow for continuous update during interactive rendering.
--Code changes
-Make some variation related functions const where appropriate.
-Use auto keyword more.

Have Wix installer point to proper location for installed vcredist DLLs.
Remove VS2010 builds dir.
--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.

Iteration optimizations on both CPU and GPU.

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.

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.

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.
