evolvotron
Evolvotron is an interactive "generative art" application to evolve images/textures/patterns through an iterative process of random mutation and user-selection driven evolution. If you like lava lamps, and never got tired of the Mandelbrot set, this could be the software for you. It's implemented using Qt, and is multithreaded.

Changes: This version now builds against Qt4. It also includes significant changes to keyboard shortcuts. The heat/cool/shield/irradiate buttons in the main window have been replaced by an (optional) "autocool" system which gradually reduces the mutation rates.

Changes: The little-used heat/cool/irradiate/shield buttons have been replaced by an optional steady progressive "autocooling" mechanism. Middle-mouse adjustments no longer flicker. Antialiased rendering is supported by optional multisampling and sample jittering. Enlargement images will now use multiple threads, and their command-line options provide more control over threading. However, there are no new functions in this release, so the range of images possible is the same as with 0.5.0.

Changes: Mainly a development release focusing on memory management (now makes extensive use of Boost smart pointers), cleaning up threading code, using precompiled headers, and replacing the messy static-initialized function meta-information with something less troublesome. There are several minor end-user visible improvements. For example, the default number of compute threads is now set to the number of processors found, colours tend to stay in a sensible range instead of saturating, the application icon is derived from the last spawned image, and there are a few new functions.

Changes: Various minor enhancements; primarily more sensible undo behaviour, rationalization of some function types, and a new "Favourite" dialog to force a particular "root" function type (previously only available by command line option). Fullscreen mode support is now always built in.

Changes: Configuration script robustness has been improved. There is a minor source change to build with gcc 3.4.
