Revision as of 15:31, 14 February 2020
The following is an overview of the history of Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.
2015
- February 20: Catagolue becomes operative.[1]
- April 24: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of one trillion objects.[2]
- September 2: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of ten trillion objects.
- September 16: the pony express, the first natural infinite-growth pattern other than the block-laying switch engine and glider-producing switch engine is found in a soup.[3] After being initially rejected by Catagolue, the containing haul is recomputed and manually committed on September 28.[4]
- September 24: Catagolue supports the generation of backups, including daily backups for the C1 symmetry of Conway's Game of Life.[5]
- October 5: the first instance of Phoenix 1, the last remaining unseen 12-bit object, is found.[6]
- October 21: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of twenty trillion objects.[7]
- October 27: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of one trillion soups.[8]
2016
- January 25: Aidan F. Pierce releases a hacked version of apgsearch v0.54 which can search isotropic non-totalistic Life-like cellular automata rules and upload the results to Catagolue.[9]
- February 20: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 50 trillion objects exactly one year after Catagolue was launched.[10]
- June 20: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 100 trillion objects.[11]
- July 5: a new period-16 oscillator, Rich's p16, is discovered in the ash of a D2_+1 soup.[12]
- July 6: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 5 trillion soups.[13]
- August 12: a 56-bit still life, the cloverleaf interchange, is found in the B3/S23/C1 census, making it the largest still life to appear naturally.[14]
- August 22: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 100,000 distinct objects.[15]
- September 4: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 150 trillion objects.[16]
- September 20: D2_+2 becomes the first B3/S23 symmetry other than C1 to reach 1 trillion objects.
2017
- January 13: Catagolue starts collecting slow salvo data using the SS pseudo-symmetry.
- March 15: B38/S23/C1 (Pedestrian Life) becomes the first rule/symmetry other than B3/S23/C1 to reach 10 trillion objects.
- May 16: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 200 trillion objects.[17]
- August 19: Catagolue gains the ability to census Generations and B0 rules, fed by apgsearch 4.0.[18]
- August 21: Catagolue gains the ability to census Larger than Life rules, fed by apgsearch 4.1.[19]
- September 10: Catagolue gains official support for isotropic non-totalistic rules, fed by apgsearch 4.2.[20] Previously, these rules required a hacked version of the original apgsearch Golly script.
2018
- June 3: Catagolue gains the ability to census Generations variants of Larger than Life and isotropic non-totalistic rules, fed by apgsearch 4.3.[21]
- October 28: Catagolue starts collecting data on long-lived patterns, fed by apgsearch 4.54.[22]
- October 29: Catagolue gains the ability to census BSFKL rules, fed by apgsearch 4.56.[23]
- November 7: Catagolue gains the ability to census higher-range totalistic Life-like cellular automata, fed by apgsearch 4.63.[24]
- November 29: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 250 trillion objects.[25]
- December 1: Catagolue gains the ability to census isotropic hexagonal neighborhood rules, fed by apgsearch 4.66; only C1, 1x256, 2x128, 4x64 and 8x32 were initially supported, not higher symmetries, as these were incompatible with the hexagonal neighbourhood.[26] Later, support for all hexagonal symmetries except for C3_3 and D6_3 was added.[27][28]
- December 11: the first instance of the heptapole, the last remaining unseen 13-bit object, is found.[29]
- December 11: Catagolue starts collecting data on diehards, fed by apgsearch 4.69.[30]
- December 12: Catagolue supports gzip compression of certain tabulations.[31]
- December 26: The source code for Catagolue is released under an MIT licence.
2019
- January 3: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 300 trillion objects.[32]
- January 9: Catagolue gains the ability to census Golly rule tables and rule trees, fed by apgsearch 4.8.[33]
- January 15: Catagolue gains native support for Deficient and Extended Generations rules, fed by apgsearch 4.83.[34]
- February 12: a Schick engine first appears naturally in an asymmetric soup.[35]
- March 3: a figure eight on pentadecathlon first appears in an asymmetric soup,[36] making it the highest period oscillator to have occurred naturally.[37]
- March 24: Catagolue starts collecting data on soups with large final populations, fed by apgsearch 5.03.[38]
- March 27: the first instance of long4 melusine, the last remaining unseen 14-bit still life, is found.[39]
- March 31: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of one million submitted hauls.[40]
- April 12: Catagolue starts collecting data about glider syntheses from Shinjuku.[41]
- April 14: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 400 trillion objects.[42]
- May 12: a GPU-powered apgsearch instance finds a natural sidecar in an asymmetric 16x16 soup.[43]
- September 9: the 17-in-17 glider synthesis project is completed, using Catagolue's synthesis tabulations for bookkeeping.[44]
- October 9: the 18-bit still life synthesis project is completed, using Catagolue's synthesis tabulations for bookkeeping.[45]
- December 18: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 500 trillion objects.[46]
- December 27: X3VI becomes the first isotropic non-totalistic rule to officially reach 1 trillion objects.
2020
- February 8: the 19-bit still life synthesis project is completed, using Catagolue's synthesis tabulations for bookkeeping.[47]
- February 9: Rob's p16 appears in the B3/S23/G1 census, marking Catagolue's first discovery of a new oscillator rotor from asymmetric soup as well as the first period 16 oscillator arising from asymmetry.[48][49]
- February 11: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 600 trillion objects.[50]
