A few preparatory changes have been made to Catagolue, namely:
  • Multi-layer apgcodes are correctly interpreted;
  • Multicolour static SVGs are displayed for Generations patterns;
  • The minimum soups per haul has been increased from 10 000 to 10 000 000 for the singularly annoying symmetry 1x256X2+1. All other symmetries are unaffected.

So from what I know, 10 million soups produces over a half billion objects. I see what you're doing here. You're increasing the soup per haul limit, so whatever passes has more than 1 MiB, right?

10 million soups isn't even that large, please. Smith Robert Lawrence once posted a haul with 1490 million soups:

https://catagolue.appspot.com/haul/b3s2 ... 480ff36e97

Yes, that had over 32 billion objects in it, which is slightly more than twice as large as the entire 1x256X2+1 census.

Sorry, if only there was a way to see how much memory was in a haul, it would be much easier to understand.

Every version of apgsearch can produce log files (thanks to Apple Bottom in the case of v3.x), which are (almost?) identical to the files which are sent to Catagolue:

http://conwaylife.com/wiki/Tutorials/Co ... -searching

If you examine the file sizes of the log files, you'll see how large your hauls are.

Although I agree it would probably be better if this information could be seen on Catagolue.

      I wonder if w'll ever get apgsearch to run on the Antikythera mechanism. I said apgsearch because according to Adam himself,
      Adam on the APGmera gitlab page wrote:apgmera can only run on x86-64 machines. If you have an ancient computer, then the recommended alternative is the Python script.

      For range-4 and above, I imagine it will be the same as Kellie Evans' numeric notation, but with identifying letters instead of commas, e.g.:

      r7b65t95s65t114

      for what Kellie Evans calls '7,65,95,65,114' and Mirek calls 'R7,C0,M1,S65..114,B65..95,NM'.

      For range-2 and range-3, I intend to support arbitrary non-B0 outer-totalistic rules using a base-16 encoding of the birth and survival conditions.

      Will multistate Larger than Life rules be supported? If so, will they use the same g notation that Generations rules do?

      I would do something like B3,4,5/S2,3,4/R2.

      I agree. That notation is similar to something I developed a while back for my own purposes, but I haven't seen the range included in slashed notation before, and I like it a lot, although possibly the last slash could be omitted for consistency's sake with the notation for specifying neighborhoods, e.g. B3,4,5/S2,3,4R2 or B4/S1,2,3,4R2V. This could also be extended to 1D, 3D, 4D, etc. rules (B3,5/S1,2,3/D1/R4, B6/S6,8/D3, etc.).

      Apgsearch v1.x: Baby/Child Apgsearch, in its young stages.
      Apgnano v2.x: Awkward teenage phase, only lasted a very short time.
      Apgmera v3.x: Adult stages.
      Apgmera v4.x: Apgsearch becomes a cyborg.
