--User changes
-Allow users to set the Exp value when using the Exp temporal filter type.
-Set the default temporal filter type to be Box, which does not alter the palette values at all during animation. This is done to avoid confusion when using Gaussian or Exp which can produce darkened images.
--Bug fixes
-Sending a sequence to the final render dialog when the keyframes had non zero rotate and center Y values would produce off center animations when rendered.
-Temporal filters were being unnecessarily recreated many times when rendering or generating sequences.
-Exp filter was always treated like a Box filter.
--Code changes
-Add a new member function SaveCurrentAsXml(QString filename = "") to the controllers which is only used for testing.
-Modernize some C++ code.
-Optimization and correction for hexaplay3D and hexnix3D.
-Major optimization on the GPU for flames which only have one xform, by skipping all random xform selection code.
-Changes to how xaos is "preserved" when adding new xforms, copying xforms and duplicating xforms.
--Duplicating xforms when no xaos is present in the flame now maintains not using xaos, and keeps all values as one.
--Duplicating xforms when xaos is present, will result in xaos rows and columns that are the same as the xforms being duplicated, with the new row and column area having values of 1.
--Duplicating xforms when xaos is present, while Control is pressed, will result in xaos rows and columns that have values of 0, with the new row and column area having values of 1.
---Copying xforms has the same behavior as duplicating with Control pressed.
--Bug fixes
-hexaplay3D, hexnix3D and post_smartcrop were wrong on the GPU because they are the rare variations which preserve state between iterations.
-Changing the sub batch size would improperly wrong the wrong number of iterations.
--Code changes
-Some functions in Affine2D made const.
-Change in the index at which points and variation state are preserved between kernel calls.
-Some arguments in some member functions of GLEmberController made const.
-Add new palettes from user Rubydeva.
--Bug fixes
-Avoid an occasional divide by zero in the OpenCL renderer when using the interactive editor.
--Code changes
-Use exact comparisons in IsID() and IsZero() in Affine2D.
-When testing for bad point values while iterating, only test for NaN now.
-For rendering with OpenCL on the command line and in the final render dialog, use an optimized kernel that does a direct assignment for any affines which are ID.
-Add a palette editor.
-Add support for reading .ugr/.gradient/.gradients palette files.
-Allow toggling on spinners whose minimum value is not zero.
-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.
-PaletteTableWidgetItem is no longer templated because all palettes are float.
-Include the source colors for user created gradients.
-Change parallel_for() calls to work with very old versions of TBB which are lingering on some systems.
-Split conditional out of accumulation loop on the CPU for better performance.
-Vectorize summing when doing density filter for better performance.
-Make all usage of palettes be of type float, double is pointless.
-Allow palettes to reside in multiple folders, while ensuring only one of each name is added.
-Refactor some palette path searching code.
-Make ReadFile() throw and catch an exception if the file operation fails.
-A little extra safety in foci and foci3D with a call to Zeps().
-Cast to (real_t) in the OpenCL string for the w variation, which was having trouble compiling on Mac.
-Fixing missing comma between paths in InitPaletteList().
-Move Xml and PaletteList classes into cpp to shorten build times when working on them.
-Remove default param values for IterOpenCLKernelCreator<T>::SharedDataIndexDefines in cpp file.
-Change more NULL to nullptr.
-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.
-OpenCL build and assignment errors for Z value in epispiral variation.
-Unitialized local variables in hexaplay3D, crob, pRose3D.
--Code changes
-Change static member variables from m_ to s_.
-Get rid of excessive endl and replace with "\n".
-Remove old IMAGEGL2D define from before Nvidia supported OpenCL 1.2.
-Remove old CriticalSection code and use std::recursive_mutex.
-Make Affine2D Rotate() and RotateTrans() take radians instead of angles.
-More C++11 work.
-General cleanup.
-Allow locking of the scale at which affine circles are displayed.
-Allow user to toggle whether xform will be animated when generating sequences. Also show the animate value when loading.
--Code changes
-More conversion to C++11 style code.
-Add another value to the eXformUpdate enum called UPDATE_CURRENT_AND_SELECTED in anticipation of future work.
-Remove some old #defines.
-Add support for multiple GPU devices.
--These options are present in the command line and in Fractorium.
-Change scheme of specifying devices from platform,device to just total device index.
--Single number on the command line.
--Change from combo boxes for device selection to a table of all devices in Fractorium.
-Temporal samples defaults to 100 instead of 1000 which was needless overkill.

RendererBase: Add ComputeCamera() as a virtual function. Add strips parameter to TotalIterCount().
Renderer: Implement ComputeCamera() as an override.
SpatialFilter: Ensure filters that are too small are made large enough to create.
FinalRenderDialog: Add estimated iters table row and populate on all UI updates.
FractoriumParams: Zoom was not being saved, loaded. Fixed.
GLWidget: Prevent mouse wheel event from being passed to the scroll bars. It should only affect the scale.
