-Add new preset dimensions to the right click menu of the width and height fields in the editor.
-Change QSS stylesheets to properly handle tabs.
-Make tabs rectangular by default. For some reason, they had always been triangular.
--Bug fixes
-Incremental rendering times in the editor were wrong.
--Code changes
-Migrate to Qt6. There is probably more work to be done here.
-Migrate to VS2022.
-Migrate to Wix 4 installer.
-Change installer to install to program files for all users.
-Fix many VS2022 code analysis warnings.
-No longer use byte typedef, because std::byte is now a type. Revert all back to unsigned char.
-Upgrade OpenCL headers to version 3.0 and keep locally now rather than trying to look for system files.
-No longer link to Nvidia or AMD specific OpenCL libraries. Use the generic installer located at OCL_ROOT too.
-Add the ability to change OpenCL grid dimensions. This was attempted for investigating possible performance improvments, but made no difference.
This has not been verified on Linux or Mac yet.
-Entering xaos cells will always select the entire cell to make editing easier.
-Add radio buttons on the xaos tab to specify how pasting or duplicating xforms should preserve xaos.
--Bug fixes
-The left header column in the xaos visualization table had somehow disappeared.
--Code changes
-DoubleSpinBox now has a boolean which specifies whether it clears its selection on enter. Default true.
-Make AddXformsWithXaos() be a static member of FractoriumEmberController for quicker build times.
-Add new exmaple flames to package_linux.sh
-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.
-Really fix locking of affine scale.
--Code changes
-Remove dependency projects from the solution. Move to a project design where they are built once via command line and stored in a /Deps folder.
--Because of this, libpng is built as a static lib instead of a dll because that's what its command line makefile supports.
--Remove libpng16.dll from Wix installer.
-Remove all configs except for debug and release.
-Remove all platforms except for x64.
-Add #define __TBB_NO_IMPLICIT_LINKAGE 1 to prevent tbb from locking for tbb_debug.lib by default on debug builds.
-Put Ember.rc in a filter folder in the project.
-Place pragma warning disable statements in PCH files rather than in projects. This makes it easier when using Qt Creator.
-Move all resource files to the MSVC folder.
-Set all targets in QtCreator project to their lowercase names to be more *nix friendly. Set -l link statements to use these new lowercase names for ember and embercl.
-Rework projects to favor shadow builds.
-Remove the symlinks.sh file and all references to it. It was never needed. Instead, just specify multiple include and link paths in the .pro files.
-Change WIN32 to _WIN32.
-Fix a few code warnings.
