Hi all,
I've just uploaded Chaoscope 0.3.1 to the site. The Download page
hasn't been updated yet, so you'll have to use these links for now:
Automated Install:
http://www.chaoscope.org/download/chaoscope_0_3_1_setup.exe
Manual Install:
http://www.chaoscope.org/download/chaoscope_0_3_1.zip
Here's what's been fixed:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Missing OpenGL extensions were ignored, causing Light and Plasma to
crash
Now if your graphic card doesn't support the OpenGL extensions used
by the Light and Plasma preview, the preview switches automatically to
Simple mode and the relevant Options checkbox is disabled.
- Switching to "Opacity Mask" in Save as dialog set the path to
Parameters folder
- View was updated five times when Solid mode View Settings was loaded
or during Batch Processing
This would slow down Batch Rendering considerably if you were
rendering large projects.
- 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
This is a blind fix, I haven't had that problem nor being able to
make sure it's not happening anymore. Could anyone confirm it doesn't?
- View wasn't refreshed when overlapping view was minimized
- Creating very large projects could fail even with sufficient RAM
Same comment as with the XP bug, I haven't been able to reproduce
this bug so it's a theoretical fix. I believe it applies to nVidia
cards only, could nVidia owners help me with this one and try to
create a very large project, something like 4096x4096, via File -> New?
- Simple Preview attractor color wasn't updated correctly when
background color was changed
Now if you're using the Simple Preview and change the background to
white in Solid Mode, the attractor turns black instead of staying white.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only noticeable change in this version is using Random
Gradients/Lights when Simple Preview is enabled will trigger a quick
render rather than a preview, so you get to see the result.
You should be able to install on top of the current installation, you
won't get a duplicated entry in the Add/Remove Programs list.
Once everyone's happy and we're all sure I haven't forgotten anything
I'll make the release official on the site. :-)
Regards,
Nicolas Desprez
