evolvotron

Release Notes: This is a release entirely for the convenience of downstream builders of the sources. The two files (libevolvotron/usage_text.h and evolvotron.html) which were previously built from the USAGE file by a Python script are now under source control and included in the sources tarball, simplifying the build process. There is no new application functionality.

Release Notes: This release can populate the initial (or on reset) image grid from saved image function files specified on the commandline. A couple of new image functions have been added.

Release Notes: This release fixes some issues with file save/load in 0.6.0. In particular, it allows saved functions to be loaded again (alternatively, a workaround in 0.6.0 is to edit the second line of saved XML and replace version=0.6.0 with version="0.6.0"). This update is recommended to anyone making anything other than casual use of evolvotron.

Release Notes: This version now builds against Qt4. It also includes significant changes to keyboard shortcuts. The heat/cool/shield/irradiate buttons in the main window have been replaced by an (optional) "autocool" system which gradually reduces the mutation rates.

Release Notes: The little-used heat/cool/irradiate/shield buttons have been replaced by an optional steady progressive "autocooling" mechanism. Middle-mouse adjustments no longer flicker. Antialiased rendering is supported by optional multisampling and sample jittering. Enlargement images will now use multiple threads, and their command-line options provide more control over threading. However, there are no new functions in this release, so the range of images possible is the same as with 0.5.0.
