Changelog for golly-4.3-1.2.x86_64.rpm :

* Sat May 25 2024 Antoine Belvire - Update to version 4.3:
* Added the new Investigator rule family to the Super algorithm.
* Adjusted Super conversion scripts to handle Investigator rules, including a new toInvestigator.lua conversion script that will be mapped by default to Alt+I whenever Golly creates a new GollyPrefs file.
* Minor improvements to error-checking and recovery in toHistory.lua and toSuper.lua conversion scripts.
* Various changes to the RLE parsing code, mainly for consistency with LifeViewer..
* Fixed a crash by limiting the scale to no more than 2^(2^20) cells per pixel.
* Fixed a bug that affected all multi-state hashlife algorithms (changing a cell in a very large pattern could result in a corrupted universe).
* Fixed some bugs handling filenames with underscores or ampersands in the Open/Run Recent submenus.
* Fixed orientation of Custom neighborhood in the Larger than Life algorithm.
* Fixed an assertion in progress bar update when downloading a file from a web server using gzip compression.
* Better support for .rule files with very long lines. An error message is now displayed if a line exceeds the maximum length of 4,000 characters.
* The Pattern Info window displays Unicode characters correctly (assuming the comments are UTF-8 encoded).
* 3D.lua has a Pattern Info command (in its View menu) which will display the current pattern\'s comments in the help window. You can also click on the new \"i\" button.
* The Larger than Life algorithm now supports Aligned Checkerboard neighborhood (ND).
* New script safeopenclip.lua will attempt to open the clipboard as a pattern.
* Modified goto.lua to check for a number too large for Lua (if so then the script exits and recommends using goto.py instead).
* File > Run Clipboard displays a nicer error message if the clipboard doesn\'t contain Lua/Python code.
* Removed optional support for Perl.
* Updated Lua to version 5.4.6.
* Added a query command (for Lua or Python) that displays a modal dialog with customizable button labels.
* Lots of new patterns.
* Reformatted and renamed many Larger than Life and Generations patterns to use Golly native HROT format and/or an .rle extension instead of .mcl.
* Deleted pattern: oscillator-stamp-collection-12August2022.rle (replaced by oscillator-stamp-collection-31January2023.rle).
* The comments in a large number of existing patterns have been modified (broken links deleted or fixed, and the formatting of paragraphs made more consistent).
* Added new rules required by some of the new patterns.
* Thu May 18 2023 Jan Engelhardt - Trim unquantified wording from descriptions.
* Thu Apr 27 2023 antoine.belvireAATTopensuse.org- Update to version 4.2:
* Fixed a bug in script commands like g.setpos that accept integers as strings.
* Fixed a number of bugs that could result in an \"illegal operation while calculating\" warning.
* Performance improvements to Larger than Life NL (Triangular) and NB (Checkerboard) rules.
* Updated Lua to version 5.4.4.
* Added support for https links when downloading files from online archives.
* New patterns, mostly in OCA (non-Conway\'s Life) rules, plus updates to Life stamp collections.
* Moved/renamed whiteboard-17c2415-spaceship.rle, sierpinski-builder.rle, wolfram22.mc.
* Reorganized patterns in HashLife folder into subfolders \"Construction\", \"Eventful\", and \"Metacell\".
* Links and dates in many pattern comments updated to standard format.- Changes of versions 4.1, 4.0, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.8, 2.7: See https://golly.sourceforge.net/Help/changes.html.- Drop Perl dependencies: Perl scripting has been replaced by Lua scripting. golly is built against a patched version of Lua included in sources.- Modify desktop file to run with GDK_BACKEND=x11: Allow to run the application built against wxWidgets without EGL support.- Refreshed spec file.
* Wed Mar 19 2014 avvissuAATTyandex.ru- Create sub-package golly-devel-static to provide the static library needed for shared builds and to fix compilation on Fedora.
* Wed Mar 19 2014 avvissuAATTyandex.ru- Add and package desktop file- Delete golly-zlib.patch + Set ZLIB_LDFLAGS in %{build} instead- Fix rpmlint error: devel-file-in-non-devel-package + Create package golly-devel to package all devel files
* Tue Mar 18 2014 avvissuAATTyandex.ru- Update to 2.6 for openSUSE and Fedora:
* Fixed a nasty bug that could cause Golly to crash when doing a paste.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the paste image to disappear after a flip/rotate.
* Tool bar buttons are no longer disabled when the main window is inactive.
* The save settings in Preferences > Layer are now obeyed by scripts. For example, let\'s assume you\'ve ticked the option to be asked to save changes on creating a new pattern. If the current layer has changes and you run a script that calls new() then you\'ll get the standard dialog asking if you want to save those changes. If you cancel the dialog then the script is aborted.
* To avoid potential data loss, you now get a warning if you save a non-starting generation and earlier changes exist. The warning can be disabled in Preferences > Layer.
* Created an online archive for very large patterns.
* Thu Jun 09 2011 prusnakAATTopensuse.org- use shared zlib (zlib.patch)
* Thu Jun 02 2011 prusnakAATTopensuse.org- updated to 2.2
