From Help > Changes:
- Added the new Investigator rule family to the Super algorithm.
- Minor improvements to error-checking and recovery in toHistory.lua and toSuper.lua.
- Various changes to the RLE parsing code, mainly for consistency with LifeViewer (see details in Help > File Formats).
- Fixed a crash on Windows that could occur after disconnecting an audio device.
- Fixed a crash by limiting the scale to no more than 2^(2^20) cells per pixel.
- Fixed a bug that affected all multi-state hashlife algorithms (changing a cell in a very large pattern could result in a corrupted universe).
- Fixed some bugs handling filenames with underscores or ampersands in the Open/Run Recent submenus.
- The Pattern Info window displays Unicode characters correctly (assuming the comments are UTF-8 encoded).
- 3D.lua has a Pattern Info command (in its View menu) which will display the current pattern's comments in the help window. You can also click on the new "i" button.
- The Larger than life algorithm now supports Aligned Checkerboard neighborhood (ND).
- New script safeopenclip.lua will attempt to open the clipboard as a pattern. If the pattern contains a legacy rule it will first be converted into a supported rule. If the pattern contains an unsupported rule it will be opened in a benign 256 state rule so it can be manually manipulated. The default key binding for this script is Alt-O (Option-O on Mac).
- Updated Lua to version 5.4.6.
- Lots of new patterns (see Help > Changes for links).
- Deleted pattern: oscillator-stamp-collection-12August2022.rle (replaced by oscillator-stamp-collection-31January2023.rle).
- The comments in a large number of existing patterns have been modified (broken links deleted and the formatting of paragraphs made more consistent).
