-Add a progress bar for sequence previews.
--Bug fixes
-Attempt to prevent crash when dragging in a new file while the previews from the current file are still rendering.
-Remove the Type field from the variations tree and instead just put the type indicator icon next to the variation name.
-Double clicking to toggle variation parameter spinners now resets the value to the default if there is one, else it uses zero. If it is already using the default, it is toggled to 0.
-Add a new button to toggle xaos on and off.
-When duplicating a flame, insert it immediately after the one being duplicated instead of at the end of the file.
-When switching between flames in a file, keep the same xform index selected rather than resetting it to the first xform each time.
-Create a threaded writer for the final render and EmberAnimate so the rendering process does not get delayed by file saving which may take a long time.
-Remove warning which said "Frames per rot cannot be greater than one while Rotations is zero" when generating a sequence.
-Add the Circle_Rand variation from Chaotica.
-Add tool tips to clarify the following items:
--Auto Unique Filenames checkbox in the options dialog.
--Xaos table headers.
--Bug fixes
-Generating sequences using the following variations would be done incorrectly: circletrans1, collideoscope, crob, curlsp, glynnsim1, glynnsim2, hypercrop, julian, julian, mobiusn, nblur, waves2, wavesn.
-Adding/removing nodes from the color curve had accidentally been disabled.
-The applied xaos weight table was not showing normalized weight values.
-Changing the size of a flame was not observing the Apply To All checkbox.
-Do not clamp the Rotate field to +/-180, because this causes the rotation to switch from CW to CCW during sequence generation. Instead, leave it exactly as the user entered it so the rotations proceed in the same direction.
-Fix stylesheets.
-Make various fields in the options window be resettable via double click.
-Get stylesheets working properly on Windows and Linux with Qt6.
-Set default style to Fusion.
--Code changes
-Get build and deployment scripts working with latest versions of Qt6, AppImage, and various library dependencies.
-Add two new macros so it would build with the latest gcc: SINGLETON_DERIVED_DECL_T and SINGLETON_DERIVED_IMPL_T.
-Small changes to opencl.hpp.
-Center progress bars on Linux.
-Proper sizing of vertical header on the xaos visualization table on Linux.
-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.
-Add a new option to EmberAnimate --ignore-existing which makes it skip rendering a frame if the files from all of the requested extensions for that frame already exist.
--Code changes
-Migrate to VS2022 and no longer use a version specific folder for the VS solution and project files. It is now under a version agnostic folder called Solution.
