Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for the new release!
I just installed it and I'm starting to 'check' it in my PC ( XP2, 1 Gig ram,
NVidia
Quadro FX1100 )
Preliminary findings:
4000 by 4000 pixels - runs OK
6000 by 6000 pixels - becomes unstable, Plasma and Solid won't work at all.
8000 by 8000 pixels -more unstable, Gas and Liquid still work.
10000 by 10000 pixels - Application 'freezes', PC crashes ...
more feedback to come ...
regards,
Louis

>I've just uploaded Chaoscope 0.3.1 to the site. The Download page hasn't

>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. :-)
