July 29th, 2010FIXES:
· Missing OpenGL extensions were ignored, causing Light and Plasma to crash
· Switching to "Opacity Mask" in Save as dialog set the path to Parameters folder
· View was udpated five times when Solid mode View Settings was loaded or during Batch Processing
· Changing Batch processing "project step" via text box wasn't updating "first project" controls
· Zooming out could cause the render to scroll out of the frame
· On XP, palettes could be displayed behind the main application window
· View wasn't refreshed when overlapping view was minimized
· Creating very large projects could fail even with sufficient RAM
· Simple Preview attractor color wasn't updated correctly when background color was changed
July 29th, 2010NEW FEATURES:
· Full project load and save (including angle, colors, etc.)
· Batch rendering
· Chaotic Flow equation was added
· Polynomial Function equations were added
· Improved preview : now closer to final render
· Options interface
· Folders for each files category
· Gradient is used for Gas and Liquid rather than default black and white
· View window may be resized and scrolled
· Render and preview zoom in/out up to 16x
· Render size can be changed once the project is open
· Ctrl+R to randomize gradients, lights in Solid mode
· Secondary color for attractor in Solid mode
· Search history for the current equation
· Solid Mode transparency mask can be saved
· Attraction animation
FIXES:
· The preview brightness was inconsistent between rendering mode changes
· Shadows didn't match Opacity in Solid mode
· Parameters saved with an exponent part couldn't be read
· Floating point exceptions weren't captured during Search
· Rotation is now consistent with scale
· Large preview scale was causing near-plane clipping
· Left-most and bottom-most pixel lines were missing on rendered image
· Half of Julia shadows was clipped off in Solid mode
· Artefacts could appear on shadows edges
· View centering was broken
· View updates were reset to 10 when changing active project
· View title bar wasn't updated when user changed attractor
· MISCELLANEOUS
· Sliders are resized properly
· Property palettes can be hidden
· Property palettes position is saved
· More sloppy code clean-up/optimisation
· Better view update indicator in status bar
· Real time view parameters (contrast, gamma, etc.) when possible
· New (more logical) key layout
July 29th, 2010FIXES:
· Incorrect angle gradient coloring for Lorenz/Lorenz-84 with low dT
· Setting Gamma, Opacity or Roughness to 0 crashed the program
July 29th, 2010NEW FEATURES:
· Lorenz-84 equation was added
· Inverse Julia quaternion equation was added
· IFS Parameters are now transformations rather than matrix coefficients
· User can set number of IFS matrices (from 2 to 8)
· User can set order of Polynomial Sprott equation (from 2 to 5)
· Subpixel precision for parameter sliders
· Variable search randomness (from 1% to 100%)
· User can choose which parameters will be randomized during Attractor search
· Search for attractor can be stopped (Shift + F3)
· Speed and angle gradients can be modified by loading FractINT .map files
· (double-click on gradient)
· Rendered view can be copied to the Clipboard
· Ctrl + left mouse button view zoom
· File format for parameters changed, extension is now ".csattr", attractor type
· automatically detected
FIXES:
· Property palette combo box buttons were allocating a bitmap object on every
· drawing request
· Enumerated properties (using a combo box control) were crashing application on
· quitting
· Scale property wasn't updated when the view was adjusted (F6)
· Property separator wasn't redrawn when the property had the focus
· Property list custom bevel style was corrupting scroll bar refreshing
· Maximised MDI window vertical position was incorrect on Windows XP
· "Load..." menu item is now disabled until a project is created
· Parameters are no longer truncated at the sixth decimal
· The Icon Degree parameter wasn't loaded when using the French interface
· IFS random walk was different from one render to another, causing the preview
· to be jerky when the sliders were used
· Status bar is cleared when attractor or the rendering mode is changed
· AM/PM indicator removed from the "time left" counter (time format global
· setting was used)
· Solid mode rendering shadows weren't projected correctly
· Attractors of dimension 0 (single point) were triggering a SING error during
· search
· View wasn't cleared when no attractor was found after a while
MISCELLANEOUS:
· Property palette combo box buttons are not hand-drawn anymore
· Image data transfer memory allocation was optimised
· About box with link to the website
· Adjusting and centering is now followed by a quick render
· Sloppy code clean-up/optimisation
· Text properties don't beep anymore when user presses Return key
· Solid mode default (and only) light setup was changed
· Rendering is done in a separate thread, now more multitasking-friendly
· User can set interface language during first launch
