Lissajous 3D Changelog

What's new in Lissajous 3D 3.0

Nov 4, 2008
  • Improvement in layout of the pattern and background textures windows.
  • New shortcuts Alt + Shift + R to randomise while keeping the shape, and Alt + Shift + C to copy image to clipboard.
  • Minor bug fixes
  • Screen saver randomiser now has separate options to randomise the pattern texture (preset to on) and randomise the background texture (preset to off). Gives better results - if you have both textured, it can be slow on slower computers - and also now and again one might get a pattern texture that doesn't work so well with the randomly selected background texture - this doesn't happen in the same way when the background is
  • New more animated versions of some of the example screen saver files.
  • For the Chrysanthemums by stream with rocks example texture, replaced the full size image with a detail because the full size image was slow to load on older machines.

New in Lissajous 3D 2.0 (Apr 21, 2007)

  • This adds an automatic update which you can switch on from Help | User Info / Purchase or Days left. You can also check for updates at any time from Help | About.
  • It runs silently. If a minor update is available it shows a message just once, then adds an Update entry to the main menu if you choose not to update straight away. You then hear no more from it when I do more minor updates - unless I do a new version in which case you get a new message to say that a new version is available. Again if you don't choose to update right away to the new version, you hear no more from it, just get the Update entry added to the menu from then on. Also it will only check if you are already connected and doesn't connect by itself.
  • Those who have the Esellerate build of Lissajous 3D already have a check for major update button - this replaces it and it will check even minor updates hopefully in a helpful and non intrusive way. It is an easier to administer system for me too for a situation like this where I sometimes do many minor updates.
  • Apart from that nothing else much new except a bit of work on the interaction between Tune Smithy and Lissajous 3D. The Lissajous 3D button in Tune Smithy can now be used when Lissajous 3D is already running as a way to reset to the Tune Smithy pattern. This is useful if you e.g.show a pattern from Tune Smithy, then choose New in Lissajous 3D or open another pattern in Lissajous 3D and then want to see it changed by the Tune Smithy chord. Click the Lissajous 3D button in FTS and it will reset the Lissajous 3D pattern to the Tune Smithy chord. Just playing the same chord in FTS doesn't do this because as far as Lissajous 3D is concerned the chord hasn't changed..
