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.
v4.1
COSMETIC/USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
- The File->Description dialog now updates automatically if you leave it open
while loading a new pattern file. Also, any previous description dialog is
closed when you open a new one.
- GtkLife now issues a warning dialog if it appears the application was not
propery installed (i.e., "make" without "make install").
- GtkLife now issues a warning dialog if the configured pattern collection
is not found.
BUG FIXES
- Fixed a bug that prevents the start/stop button from changing color when
Gtk+ has debugging enabled (thanks to James Gregory for reporting).
- Fixed stair-stepping effect when drawing diagonal lines.
MISCELLANEOUS
- Better ChangeLog :-)
v4.0
NEW FUNCTIONALITY
- The world size has been bumped up to 1 million x 1 million.
- Added View->Find Active Cells, to locate a live (and preferably active)
region and center on it.
- gtklife has a new default file format, GLF, which is similar to RLE.
- gtklife can now handle multiple file formats: Life 1.05 (the original
format), Life 1.06, RLE, XLife, and GLF. File type is auto-detected when
loading. Information on file formats was added to the "File Handling"
section of the documentation, and a page was added giving detailed
information on the GLF format.
- You can now set a per-session pattern directory
(File->Change Pattern Collection) as well as a default pattern directory
(Preferences/File/Default Pattern Collection).
- Sidebar patterns can now be bundled into sub-directories. Directories will
be displayed with trailing slashes. Click on a directory name to display
its contents in a clickable list beneath the sidebar.
- You can now specify a pattern collection directory on the command line
(previously only individual patterns could be loaded via command line).
- The pattern description has been made unbounded in length and width. An
error will occur if you attempt to save a pattern with a too-large
description to a LIF or RLE pattern file.
COSMETIC/USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS
- Mouse wheel over the description text box now scrolls the description
(previously you had to hover the mouse over the scrollbar).
- The color picker in Preferences now uses the contents (if any) of the
corresponding text entry as its starting color.
- Recent files in the File menu now display full path as a tooltip.
- Sidebar scrollbar is now only displayed when needed.
PATTERN COLLECTION CHANGES
- A new pattern collection, JSLife by Jason Summers, is now available as an
option. The sidebar can be set to display the original LifeP, JSLife, or
a custom collection of your own.
- Patterns were reorganized into a hierarchical format.
- Patterns were renamed to be more human-readable.
- Patterns were converted to GLF for speed of loading.
- Pattern descriptions were reformatted.
- Paul Rendell's Turing Machine pattern was added to the LifeP collection.
- Added a longer description to the Unit Cell pattern.
- Now that we have a command to locate active cells, re-centered the Jaws
pattern.
- Note: Due to a minor change in the config file, any custom pattern
directory that you have chosen previously will be reset.
DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENTS
- Fixed broken link to the Scientific American article in help.
MISCELLANEOUS
- The install process now deletes any existing patterns bundle before copying
over the new patterns.
- Added new nifty program icons based on the "pulsar".
