What's new in Oxidizer 0.8
Apr 29, 2011
- Snow Leopard version, now 32/64 bit universal, including flam3 programs. Gene Pool now multithreaded. Movie saving dialogues now provided 32 bit server for all versions, old API was removed for 64 bit SDK without equivalent 64 bit API replacing it. Image saving reworked, as old API was removed for 64 bit SDK. Lua scripting reworked to be compatible with 64 build (again due to Apple removing API's) Animation / Movie Still generation now releases still image memory correctly while running. Saving Movie Stills 16 bit PNG actually works now. Newer versions of libpng and libjpg Many smaller memory leaks fixed.
New in Oxidizer 0.6.1.0 (Feb 10, 2010)
- Visual Clipboard. A window you cqn drag and drop genomes too and store them for later.
- The clipboard is persistent, and maintains the genomes between launches so they are available the next time you start Oxidizer.
