• selections now respect [[ VIEWONLY ]]
• fixes for undo/redo during playback

• improved selection and paste boxes for offset-square grid and hexagonal grid

• create and clear selection were missing from undo/redo
• horizontal and vertical flip were not working for paste

• improved selection and paste boxes for triangular grid
• improved performance for hexagonal grid selection display

• paste bottom left and bottom right positions were the wrong way round

• fixed POPUPWIDTH validation

• Performance improvement for cell history and longevity
• Performance improvement when ZOOM < 1
• THEMEs without history (Mono, Inverse, Golly, MCell, Caterer and Life32) and PASTE commands now have improved performance at STEP sizes > 1

muzik wrote:This is hard to explain (and it's midnight so that won't help exactly), but when selecting cells on the hexagonal grid, the selection appears as a sort of rhombus. Since there are three possible rhombuses that can be traced out this way in a hexagonal grid, could they be added as alternate selection options somehow?

• performance improvement when ZOOM < -2
• performance improvement for THEMEs without history and STEP size 1
• performance improvement for THEMEs without history when ZOOM < 1
• switching to a THEME without history clears history cells

• not all menu items were being drawn locked when menu locked

1. Using the Blues theme (which has cell history) and a ZOOM of -12 (so the whole pattern fits in the viewer)
2. Using the Mono theme (which has no cell history) and a ZOOM of -12
3. Using the Blues theme and a ZOOM of 1
4. Using the Mono theme and a ZOOM of 1

• performance improvement for ZOOM < 1
• performance improvement for THEMEs without history
• new script command [[ TIME ]] to trigger timing at a waypoint
• waypoint messages can now use string substitutions #0 to #9 to display timing results as average frames per second

• performance improvement for THEMEs with history

• Bench 1 - 36.0
• Bench 2 - 55.1
• Bench 3 - 50.3
• Bench 4 - 62.2

• performance improvement for next generation (excluding LtL/HROT)
• improved allocation speed for random grid

• population statistics were incorrect if stats were off and pattern had bounded grid

• increased maximum viewer size to 4096x4096
• improved rendering to window speed
  • Note: the benchmark measurement now includes final rendering time so scores will be lower

• fixed B0 rules
