Changes
Changes in version 1.2 (released !!! 2013)
- Rendering speed has been improved in some cases.
- Files with extensions .colors or .icons are no longer supported.
- The Fit button will fit the paste image in the viewport if the current pattern is empty.
- The action menu has a new Fit item that will fit the current selection in the viewport.
- Double-tapping the paste image now stops generating (the same as tapping the Paste button).
- Fixed minor problems with status bar messages.
- Major reorganization of source code so that the iOS and Android versions of Golly
can share common code.
Changes in version 1.1 (released June 2013)
- This version introduces a new rule format. A file in the new format has a .rule
extension and contains all the information about the rule: its name, description,
table/tree data, and any color/icon information. More details can be found
here.
- The RuleTable and RuleTree algorithms have been replaced by a new algorithm
called RuleLoader.
- If the Paste button sees clipboard text starting with "@RULE rulename" then it will
save the text as Documents/Rules/rulename.rule and switch to that rule.
- When the Rule dialog is switched to the RuleLoader algorithm it will display links
to all the .rule files in Documents/Rules/ and to the supplied .rule files.
Any deprecated files (.table or .tree or .colors or .icons) are automatically
converted to .rule files and then deleted.
- Icons can be displayed at scales 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32 by turning on the "Show icons"
option in either the Settings tab or the Pattern tab's state picker window.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the Undo/Redo buttons to be incorrectly
enabled/disabled after tapping STOP.
- The Open tab has READ and EDIT links that let you display or change the contents
of pattern files. Only files stored in the Documents folder can be edited.
- After tapping on a DELETE link you now get a warning dialog asking if you
really want to delete the corresponding file.
- The size of text in the Help tab has been increased.
- Added support for file sharing using iTunes.
