-Add two new variations, hyperbolic and hypershift2.
-Allow for animating final xforms.
-More detailed diagnostics when any action in the OpenCL renderer fails.
-Allow for creating an OpenCL renderer which does not share a texture with the main window, and instead manually copies its final output image from GPU to CPU then back to GPU.
--Bug fixes
-Text was not properly being copied out of the Info | Bounds text box.
--Code changes
-Remove Renderer::AccumulatorToFinalImage(v4F* pixels, size_t finalOffset), it's no longer needed or makes sense.
-Controllers no longer keep track of shared status, it's kept inside the renderers.
-Make getter functions in FractoriumOptionsDialog be public.
-Support 4k monitors, and in general, properly scale any monitor that is not HD.
-Allow for a spatial filter of radius zero, which means do not use a spatial filter.
-Add new variations: concentric, cpow3, helicoid, helix, rand_cubes, sphereblur.
-Use a new method for computing elliptic which is more precise. Developed by Discord user Claude.
-Remove the 8 variation per xform limitation on the GPU.
-Allow for loading the last flame file on startup, rather than randoms.
-Use two different default quality values in the interactive renderer, one each for CPU and GPU.
-Creating linked xforms was using non-standard behavior. Make it match Apo and also support creating multiple linked xforms at once.
--Bug fixes
-No variations in an xform used to have the same behavior as a single linear variation with weight 1. While sensible, this breaks backward compatibility. No variations now sets the output point to zeroes.
-Prevent crashing the program when adjusting a value on the main window while a final render is in progress.
-The xaos table was inverted.
--Code changes
-Convert projects to Visual Studio 2017.
-Change bad vals from +- 1e10 to +-1e20.
-Reintroduce the symmetry tag in xforms for legacy support in programs that do not use color_speed.
-Compiler will not let us use default values in templated member functions anymore.
--Bug fixes
-Strips renders crashed.
-Better handling of large memory allocations by forcing a free of previous allocations.
-Final render dialog did not properly save last used extension setting.
-Density filtering progress bar in final render dialog did not update if only log scaling was being used.
--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.
-Fix strange spurious crash in library tab when switching between SP and DP.
-Compensate for severe Qt bug where dragging and dropping disjoint items in the Library tree would resort the dropped items in special situations.
-Move Info.plist to Data folder.
-Ensure RTTI is included in build.
-Add darker versions of .png icons.
-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.
--User changes
-Add many tooltips to help clarify functionality.
-Select multiple flames in library for del/move. Still only one allowed to be set as the current.
-Show checkbox for current flame. Remember this is not necessarily what's selected.
-User can now drag a square to select xforms, which keeps in sync with checkboxes.
-Remove --nframes from command line. Replace with new params: --loopframes, --interpframes, --interploops.
-Add two new options to EmberGenome: --cwloops --cwinterploops to specify whether rotation should go clockwise instead of the default counter clockwise.
-Add these to Fractorium as checkboxes.
-Apply All now also works for toggling animate flag on xforms.
-Options dialog now allows user to set whether double click toggles spinners, or right click does.
--Bug fixes
-Selecting final and non-final xforms, and then dragging the non-final did not drag the final with it.
-Selecting all xforms when a final was present, then deleting crashed the program.
-Remove support for ppm files in the command line programs, it's an outdated format.
-Switching between SP and DP kept reapplying the palette adjustments.
--Code changes
-Move build system to Visual Studio 2015 and Qt 5.6.
-SSE used during addition of points to the histogram.
-Remove last remnants of old flam3 C code and replace with C++.
-Remove unused code involving tbb::task_group.
-Make settings object a global shared_ptr singleton, so it doesn't have to be passed around.
