-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
-Crossing in EmberGenome was not logging the performed actions to the edit Xml tag.
-Apply sub batch size and fuse count to template files used on the command line.
-Use new default filter types with template files.
--Code changes
-Use cerr in SheepTools instead of cout.
-Set m_SubBatchSize and m_FuseCount to default values in Ember::Clear().
-Clean up some command line options text formatting.
-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.
-Get rid of selection border on summary tab xform tree cells.
-Only add variations from Xml that have a non-zero weight. There seemed to be spurious flattens coming from Apo with a weight of 0.
--Code changes
-Gutters are now a fixed size of 8 * supersample.
-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.
-Allow for pausing the renderer in the main window. This makes is more efficient when entering many parameters, such as when following a tutorial.
-Add support for new variations: erf, gamma, jac_cn, jac_dn, jac_sn, logDB, pressure_wave, pRose3D, splits3D, w, waves2b, x, xerf, y, z.
-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.
-Make command line programs search these folders in this order for the palette file:
./
~/.fractorium
~/.config/fractorium
/usr/share/fractorium
/usr/local/share/fractorium
-Fix possible bad values in hexes.
-Better assignment of Z variables.
-Fix boarders due to use of poorly implemented rint() function from flam3. Use std::rint() now.
-wedge_sph was completely wrong due to having accidentally swapped the mapping of two parameters.
-Make juliascope juliascope_power parameter be of type REAL_NONZERO since it's used as a denominator.
-Make Z assignment compatible with the originals in:

--Code changes
-Generalize Variation::PrecalcHelper() and rename to PrePostPrecalcHelper().
--Do the same for the OpenCL version and rename it PrePostPrecalcOpenCLString().
-Rename Variation::m_AssignType to m_PrePostAssignType since it's only relevant to pre/post variations.
-Add new variations: bubbleT3D, crob, hexaplay3D, hexcrop, hexes, hexnix3D, loonie2, loonie3, nBlur, octapol and synth.
-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.
-EmberGenome was improperly handling the first frame of a merge after the last frame of the loop.
-These bugs were due to a previous commit. Revert parts of that commit.
-Prevent a zoom value of less than 0 when reading from xml.
-Slight optimization of the crescents, and mask variations, if the compiler wasn't doing it already.
-Unique file naming was broken because it was looking for _# and the default names ended with -#.
-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
-Generalize using the running sum output point inside of a variation for all cases: pre, reg and post.
-Allow for array variables in variations where the address of each element is stored in m_Params.
-Qualify all math functions with std::
-No longer use our own Clamp() in OpenCL, instead use the standard clamp().
-Redesign how functions are used in the variations OpenCL code.
-Add tests to EmberTester to verify some of the new functionality.
-Place more const and override qualifiers on functions where appropriate.
-Add a global rand with a lock to be used very sparingly.
-Use a map instead of a vector for bad param names in Xml parsing.
-Prefix affine interpolation mode defines with "AFFINE_" to make their purpose more clear.
-Allow for variations that change state during iteration by sending a separate copy of the ember to each rendering thread.
-Implement this same functionality with a local struct in OpenCL. It's members are the total of all variables that need to change state within an ember.
-Add Contains() function to Utils.h.
-EmberRender: print names of kernels being printed with --dump_kernel option.
-Clean up EmberTester to handle some of the recent changes.
-Fix various casts.
-Replace % 2 with & 1, even though the compiler was likely doing this already.
-Add new file Variations06.h to accommodate new variations.
-General cleanup.
-Add a new dialog for editing QSS stylesheets. Allow for saving, reloading and setting styles as default.
--Include a dark style with the installation called dark.qss.
--Also add support for themes such as Fusion.
--Resize some controls to better fit with the new style.
-Add an option to specify the number of random embers generated on startup. 1 is the minimum and the default.
--Bug fixes
-Properly enable/disable thread priority label in final render dialog in response to enable/disable of the OpenCL checkbox.
-Remove all inline stylesheets.
-Show xaos spinners with 6 decimal places.
--Code changes
-Remove redundant comparisons to nullptr, use ! instead;
-Give some controls valid names instead of the auto generated ones.
-DoubleSpinBoxTableItemDelegate.h: Add virtual keyword to overridden functions.
