The main UI got again a major overhaul: many buttons have been grouped under menu-buttons to make the UI more clear. Variations are now always picked using the variation browser, which now shows the influence of a newly selected variation in realtime.
Also, there was a nasty bug, which causes the image to turn black when editing certain fractals. This has been fixed,
Additionally, there are 50 new variations, some of them are brand-new and were supplied by Brad Stefanov. Thanks a lot, Brad!
There were really a ton of changes.
Complete changelog:
VERSION 0.108.1107 (13.07.2025):
- variation-browser: after selecting a new variation it is immediately applied to the
current fractal (temporary), which makes it really fun to brwose through all variations
- main-editor: variations node: removed the variation-type and variation-listbox
(as now one can use the variation brwoser to brwose though variations, so there is no
need for this two listboxes anymore. It makes the UI more clear, too.)
- SWAN-59: fixed: in some cases (fractal not contracting) the image faded to black while editing
and kept black even if the flame was brought back to a state where it should render properly
(e.g. when moving xforms)
- reimplemented hiding of xforms (was broken after implementing propagation of hidden
samples (which are hidden by variations like crops))
- hiding of xforms now also works with textures (image_rect-variation)
- new /v1/variations-REST-endpoint to list all currently supported variations (which
will be used later by JWildfire)
- main-editor: several ui-refactorings, introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- gradient-library: introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- render-image-window: introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- render-animation-window: introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- custom-code-editor-window: introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- mutagen-window: introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- gradient-editor-window: introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- load-/save-flame-window: introducing more spaces between controls (SWAN-78)
- main-editor: decraesed the font-size of the labels of the flame-thumbnails, also
changed to alinment to bottom
