--Added panorama1 and panorama2 variations.
Bug fixes:
--crackle had a bug with Nvidia GPUs.
Code changes:
--crackle now uses real_t* for cache rather than real2. This is what was causing the bug.
--Make the local offsets array used in crackle a precalc since it's the same for all. This reduces register pressure.
--Get rid of all usages of real3, just to be safe since Nvidia doesn't like them.
--#define TOTAL_GLOBAL_SIZE_END in the OpenCL iteration kernel just for debugging purposes to see how large the parvars buffer is.
--Disallow the use of synth when randomly generating xforms if the user has an Nvidia device present on their system.
Code changes:
--Use some CPU defines in CL code.
--Change curves color scaling buffer to be 2^16 per channel instead of 2^17 which was probably overkill.
--Code in RendererClDevice::Init() to detect Nvidia was wrong even thought it technically worked.
--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.
--Make new class, AffineDoubleSpinBox.
--Attempt to make file save dialog code work the same on all OSes.
--Remove some unused functions.
-Attempt to fix several OpenCL build errors that were occurring on Mac.
--Code changes
-Improve the coloring code during final accum by getting rid of the last remnants of unnecessary scaling to 255 from flam3.
-Begin work of supporting 16bpc on the GPU.
--User changes
-dark.qss is now per-OS.
-Properly set/reload palette when coming from the palette editor. The latter must be done if they've modified the current palette even if they've clicked cancel.
--Bug fixes
-Make the following variations safer by using Zeps(): conic, bipolar, edisc, whorl, tan, csc, cot, tanh, sech, csch, coth, auger, bwraps, hypertile3d, hypertile3d1, ortho, poincare, rational3, barycentroid, sschecks, cscq, cschq, scry_3D, splitbrdr, hexcrop, nblur, crob.
-Fix bug enabling/disabling overwrite button in palette editor.
-Small optimization for gdoffs, use precalcAtanYX.
-Properly propagate z through circlesplit, cylinder2 and tile_log variations.
-Some values in truchet_fill could've been NaN.
--Code changes
-Make most installation files read only.
-Qualify many calls with std:: to ensure they're not colliding with glm::
-Use auto in more places.
--Bug fixes
-Fix crash when opening palette editor with a flame whose palette specifies no originating file.
--Code changes
-Revert font changes, only use qss for these now.
--User changes
-Make all fonts be MS Shell Dlg 2. This will require reloading dark.qss if users are already using it.
-Limit size of the left side of the palette editor.
-Disable create from image buttons in the palette editor when working on a fixed palette.
--Bug fixes
-The following variations were wrong: coshq, cothq.
-During iteration, the color index could become nan if all xform color speeds were negative. This could lead to bad results on the GPU. Fix to check for nan. Minimal speed difference.
--Code changes
-Make the following variations safer by using Zeps(): sinq, sinhq, secq, sechq, tanq, tanhq, cosq, coshq, cotq, cothq, cscq, cschq, estiq.
-Always pass -cl-no-signed-zeros -cl-denorms-are-zero to kernel compiles for both single and double.
-Flush all denormals to zero for all executable programs. This will likely lead to a speedup for badly behaving programs.
--User changes
-Add support for adjusting xform color indices in the palette editor. Fixed palettes can now be displayed there, but they will have no color arrows as they are not editable.
-Add support for independent dimension scaling in the EmberRender and EmberAnimate programs to bring them in line with the final render dialog Fractorium.
--Bug fixes
-File paths with a space in them did not work in the command line programs.
-Any Xml file in the search paths would erroneously be treated as a palette file.
--Code changes
-Change some for loops to while loops when iterating through xforms.
-Allow FractoriumEmberController<T>::UpdateXform() to be able to apply the action to an xform at a specific index.
-Remove old code blocks build files that were never used.
-Make GetPath() return empty string if no path is present in the passed in file path.
-GetTotalXform() was always counting the final xform, even if it was unused.
--Bug fixes
-Fractorium would occasionally freeze after dismissing the final render dialog because some values were not properly re-initialized.
--Code changes
-Remove VS 2013 build files.
-Qualify sqrt with std:: in ColorTriangle.cpp
-Bump to version 1.0.0.3
-Remove all code for opacity adjustment, it's no longer needed.
-Small optimization on accumulating to the histogram on the CPU.
-Double clicking min/max DE filter spinners would not trigger a render reset if the other was non-zero. The fix has the downside of triggering a change event when scrolling even if the value is already capped. This is an acceptable tradeoff.
