-No longer constrain pitch, yaw or depth spinners to -180 - 180.
--Bug fixes
-Properly set color index on padded xforms.
-Adding a padding final xform included a linear variation with a weight of zero to not appear empty. Made it have a weight of 1.
-Always write animate tag on final xform when saving to Xml.
-Motion was being applied to the wrong flame in SheepTools::Edge(), so apply it to the correct one.
-Prevent divide by zero when normalizing variation weights.
-Was accidentally adding the placeholder value of -9999 for motion_offset to varation weights and parameters when applying motion. Set to zero if no value present.
-Clamp flame rotation values to -180 - 180 when reading a flame from Xml.
-Events were not properly wired for user changes in the random rotations per blend controls in the sequencer.
-Fix major UI bugs with sequencer min/max random controls which made it nearly impossible to hand type values.
-Values from rotations per blend and rotations per blend max were not being saved to file between program runs.
-Checking animate for an xform was not applied to all flames even if Apply All was checked.
-Changing interpolation type, temporal filter width, temporal type, and affine interpolation type were not actually saving to the flame when changed.
-Grid on the main window was not being drawn at the right scale initially due to some OpenGL initialization occurring in the wrong order.
-Severe bugs in sequence generation code:
--Improperly detected padding xforms.
--When looking for specific variations during xform aligning, only presence was detected, when it should have been presence plus a weight greater than zero.
--When adding specific variations during xform aligning, must first remove any variations of that type.
--Two variables were unsigned when they should have been signed. This prevented large blocks of code from ever executing.
--When interpolating affines, an EPS that was too small was used, causing affine values to interpolate incorrectly. Instead use 1e-10 to ensure results equal to flam3.
--Code changes
-Modify FractoriumEmberController::UpdateXform() to pass the selected xform index as well as the absolute index to func().
-Add two new variations, hyperbolic and hypershift2.
-Allow for animating final xforms.
-More detailed diagnostics when any action in the OpenCL renderer fails.
-Allow for creating an OpenCL renderer which does not share a texture with the main window, and instead manually copies its final output image from GPU to CPU then back to GPU.
--Bug fixes
-Text was not properly being copied out of the Info | Bounds text box.
--Code changes
-Remove Renderer::AccumulatorToFinalImage(v4F* pixels, size_t finalOffset), it's no longer needed or makes sense.

-Make getter functions in FractoriumOptionsDialog be public.
--Bug fixes
-Strips renders crashed.
-Better handling of large memory allocations by forcing a free of previous allocations.
-Final render dialog did not properly save last used extension setting.
-Density filtering progress bar in final render dialog did not update if only log scaling was being used.
--Add support for Exr files which use 32-bit floats for each RGBA channel. Seems to come out too washed out.
--Allow for clearing an individual color curve.
--Allow for saving multiple image types in EmberRender and EmberAnimate. All writes are threaded.
--Remove --bpc command line argument. Add format png16 as a replacement.
--Remove --enable_jpg_comments and --enable_png_comments command line arguments, and replace them with --enable_comments which applies to jpg, png and exr.
--Add menu items to variations and affine spinners which allow for easy entry of specific numeric values like pi.
--Make final render dialog be wider rather than so tall.
Bug fixes:
--Fix some OpenCL compile errors on Mac.
--Remove ability to save bitmap files on all platforms but Windows.
Code changes:
--New dependency on OpenEXR.
--Allow Curves class to interact with objects of a different template type.
--Make m_Curves member of Ember always use float as template type.
--Set the length of the curves array to always be 2^17 which should offer enough precision with new 32-bit float pixel types.
--Set pixel types to always be 32-bit float. This results in a major reduction of code in the final accumulation part of Renderer.h/cpp.
--Remove corresponding code from RendererCL and FinalAccumOpenCLKernelCreator.
--Remove Transparency, NumChannels and BytesPerPixel setters from Renderer.h/cpp.
--Add new global functions to format final image buffers and place all alpha calculation and scaling code in them.
--Blending is no longer needed in OpenGLWidget because of the new pixel type.

--Attempt to make file save dialog code work the same on all OSes.
--Remove some unused functions.
