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

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 1: the glider synthesis submission box is added, allowing users to submit syntheses which are automatically parsed during the Catagolue update process.[43][44]
  • May 12: a GPU-powered apgsearch instance finds a natural sidecar in an asymmetric 16x16 soup.[45]
  • September 9: the 17-in-17 glider synthesis project is completed, using Catagolue's synthesis tabulations for bookkeeping.[46]
  • October 9: the 18-bit still life synthesis project is completed, using Catagolue's synthesis tabulations for bookkeeping.[47]
  • December 18: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 500 trillion objects.[48]
  • 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.[49]
  • 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.[50][51]
  • February 11: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 600 trillion objects.[52]
  • April 1: a natural loafer emerges from a soup in the B3/S23/C1 census submitted by John Goodman.[53]
  • April 2: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 700 trillion objects.[54]
  • April 8: the asymmetric-soups census is created, combining the results from B3/S23/C1 and B3/S23/G1.[55][56]
  • May 4: B3/S23/G1 overtakes B3/S23/C1 in terms of the number of soups investigated.[57]
