mightymandel v14
Two stable releases of mightymandel since the last post, here are the changes from v12 to v13:
v13 mightymandel v13 stable release
Reduced dependencies:
* glm replaced by simple maths
* glib regex replaced by new parsers
New parsers:
* new support for ppm as output by mightymandel
* new support for mdz xmin/xmax/ymax variant
* all supported formats render the right size
(assuming window aspect ratio is correct)
New weight control for -no-de:
* can make lines lighter or darker if desired
* corresponding feature for DE coming soon
Improved series approximation:
* for deep zooms it is initialized on CPU to
avoid overflow on GPU
* warning if image is likely to fail due to
insufficient precision
Miscellaneous:
* zoom assembler updated, now can pipe direct
* new script to convert ppm to png preserving
mightymandel metadata with location information
* new script to make assembling tiled images easyAnd from v13 to v14 (current stable):
v14 mightymandel v14 stable release
Build system improvements:
* ported from C++11 to C99
* new Makefile flags XTRA_COMPILE_FLAGS and EXTRA_LINK_FLAGS
which may be useful for compiling on interesting environments
without patching the Makefile itself
Rendering improvements:
* -weight now works with DE
* -no-de weight changed to match DE appearance
* glitched interiors no longer stay glitched
* interiors coloured yellow instead of white
User interface improvements:
* fixed buggy mouse button handling
* inverted weight key control order
