./x11/py-qt4/distinfo PyQt4_gpl_mac-4.12.3.tar.gz
Lots of changes, the biggest of which is that it now uses Qt5 as GUI toolkit.
4.2
New Features
Palette editor, save/load palettes, storing user palettes in the .xpf file.
The option 'User formulas' maintains a history of recently used formulas.
Fractal info in the Help menu.
Batch rendering.
Enabled panning in rotate mode.
Unified Open and Open Image option. Save Image option moved to Save as.
4.1
New Features
Added option to show Cartesian coordinate grid.
Custom palette helps visualizing palette before applying changes through slider selectable values now.
PNGs exported using 'Save Image' option can be imported back and users can continue zooming on it.
4.0
What's new in 4.0
The user interface is based on Qt, so XaoS has a modern look and feel.
Works on macOS Catalina, which broke older versions.
Animation rendering has been fixed.
Menu entries are now standardized.
TrueType text rendering so fonts look nicer and non-Latin alphabets are supported.
Hindi, Icelandic, Russian, Serbian and Swedish translations.
Several minor updates for the other languages.
The language can be set in the View menu now.
Lots of bug fixes.
Zooming is possible also with the mouse wheel.
Mouse cursor has been changed to cross.
Iteration number N can be used in user formulas.
Lots of source code cleanup and refactoring. It may not be obvious to end users but this will allow us to make better features and more frequent releases in the future.
3.7
There were quite a few bug fixes at this point since 3.6 was released.
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
Problems found locating distfiles:

XXX: There are also new experimental Aqua and GTK+ frontends, but I didn't
investigate if the GTK+ frontend builds as the release notes claim it's
still buggy.
Changes since 3.1:
RELEASE NOTES FOR XAOS VERSION 3.2.2
------------------------------------
This release contains a rewritten Mac OS X port by J. B. Langston III,
and some small fixes for pipes by Marton Torok. For more details
please read the ChangeLog file.
RELEASE NOTES FOR XAOS VERSION 3.2.1
------------------------------------
A new fractal type, the Spidron hornflake has appeared. We changed
the web site to a dokuwiki database, so the help system contains
now a converter for dokuwiki (not completely working yet).
STICKY/DESTDIR is now supported (by Claudio Fontana). The French
translation is updated (by Philippe Wautelet). Bigger fonts are
available for Latin-2 based usage if the user changes the screen
resolution more than 800x600 or 1000x720.
Some small fixes have been done in the catalog files.
RELEASE NOTES FOR XAOS VERSION 3.2
----------------------------------
Main points are the classic Sierpinski and Koch fractals, but still
other formulas are introduced. Some 'oldie but goldie' fractals are
included from the Fractint formula database. The keystroke order has been
changed a little bit. Now gcc-4.0.x is also supported (-mcpu is deprecated
now and the source had to be modified for this).
The new formulas are demonstrated with 3 new tutorial movies. These are
also available in Hungarian language. Volunteers are requested to
translate the new movies into other languages.
RELEASE NOTES FOR XAOS VERSION 3.1.3
------------------------------------
Using this release gcc version 4.0 should also compile the code, not only
the 3.x versions.
Two new fractal types were also added. In addition, the DirectX header
files have been fixed. The French translations are updated.
RELEASE NOTES FOR XAOS VERSION 3.1.2
------------------------------------
This release is a fast bugfix for some gcc versions (or more precisely,
there is a workaround for the B-B bug, see the ChangeLog for details).
The example files were not able to load in version 3.1.1 and msgmerge
was not recognized (this is fixed, however not tested yet).
There are other small but irrelevant fixes (see ChangeLog), too.
RELEASE NOTES FOR XAOS VERSION 3.1.1
------------------------------------
This release is a CVS snapshot freeze for those who are using newer
systems. The most important update is a fix for gcc-3.4. There are also
- improvements in French and Spanish translations,
- some more example files (contributed by Zsigmond Kovács),
- some fixes which patch annoying problems.
PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
