Apophysis 7X.15D

• Added support for 64-bit plugins
• Added support for scripts in the 64-bit version
• Fixed most of the bugs from the BUG TRACKER

Apophysis 7X.15C

• Added loc, polar2, cross, wedge, epispiral, (pre-/post-)bwraps, (pre-/post-)falloff2, blur_circle, blur_zoom, blur_pixelize, splits, separation, bipolar, loonie, escher, scry, ngon, foci, lazysusan, mobius, (pre-/post-)crop, elliptic, waves2, auger, pre_spherical, pre_sinusoidal, pre_disc and post_curl-variations
• Changed all variations which were in Apophysis before so that they are 3D-aware. This means that all variations PRESERVE the z-position of their points instead of resetting it to zero like before. Your 3D parameters likely need tweaking HOWEVER I added some code in the loader which should automatically "fix" most of the parameters. BE AWARE THAT PARAMETERS SAVED WITH 7X ARE LIKELY TO BE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE 3D HACK FROM NOW ON!
• Added a variation search box in the editor
• Added possibility to specify custom plugin path
• Added color curves tab in the adjustment window
• Fixed the multithreaded renderer. It is now safe to enable multithreading in the options. Leave a few threads open, however. If you got a dual-core, leave it at 1; if you got a quad-core, set it to 2-3; and so on.
• Changed the general buffer depth to 32 bit floating point in the 32 bit version and 64 bit floating point in the 64 bit version to improve numeric accurancy and speed (less conversion)
• Removed the EXIF-writing for JPEG-renders (couldn't find up-to-date and free library)
• Introduced an experimental 64 bit version with no plugin support (which is why I added so many variations) and no scripting support as of now (waiting for TMS Software to add 64 bit support to Scripter Studio)
• Fixed the editor toolbar glitch
• Fixed MT renderer not recognizing the transform opacity value
• Updated string handling to UTF-8 encoding
• Removed the T-500 version and the separate executable for the lite-version. You can run the lite version with the command-line switch "-lite" now
• Fixed DPI glitches in "Export UPR", "Gradient Browser" and "Message Log" windows.
• Fixed a bug which made it impossible to render in slices due to "Out of Memory" errors.
• Fixed a bug which caused wrong thumbnails after deleting a flame from the list to the left in the main window.
• Updated Chaotica integration. Only versions since V0.45 of Chaotica are supported now. Directory structure is significant.
• Added optional editor background preview. It is off by default. When on, the mini preview in the editor is replaced by the flame drawn on the background.
• All buffer depths except 32 bit integer have been removed. A proper 64 bit-renderer shall be re-introduced in V16 where the only number type will be float.
• Fixed a bug which caused improper listing of used variations from the final transform in the "Summarize flame" feature and the variation enumeration for Chaotica.
• Added a link to Tara Roys' Apophysis manual in the help menu.

Apophysis 7X.15A

• Added experimental thumbnail embedding - default is off since it has no real-world use right now
• Added a better notification system for missing plugins
• Added options to toggle thumbnail embedding and missing plugin warnings on/off
• Added background features to support dynamic plugin loading/unloading as well
• Added a (disabled yet) module to load the new and old parameter format - the old parameter format is still used solely in this version
• Added multilanguage support so users can write their own translation files for their native languages using a text-editor
• Added an option to generate a quick flame report
• Added built-in Chaotica export functionality
• Changed resize code in editor window to allow users setting higher font sizes in their system without the editor being messed up
• Changed most parts of the GUI to allow dynamic strings being placed in while loading translation files
• Changed thumbnail code to allow non-square thumbnails (maintains original aspect ratio)
• Changed thumbnail loading code to be threaded (loading in background)
• Changed loading progress bar in main window to be at the status panel (was on the image frame)
• Changed default flame list size to make the thumbnails appear centered
• Changed "Export flame" to "Export to flam3" in order to better integrate the new Chaotica support
• Fixed a bug with the time-attribute on unnamed flames ('' is not a valid integer)
• Fixed assembly code for some built-in variations
• Fixed a bug where the system shut down after first flame when rendering all flames if shutdown option was enabled
• Fixed a bug where the options window was always nagging the user with restart
• Fixed Flame.GammaThreshold in the scripting system - it now reads and writes like the option in the adjust window (please edit your scripts)
• Fixed the internal script-from-flame feature which placed weight modifier settings at the wrong place resulting in the flame being inaccurate when using Xaos
