evolvotron

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.

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

A -spheremap option was added, which generates
textures suitable for use with POVRay's "map_type
1". A dialog for controlling individual function
probabilities was added. Numerous minor bugfixes
and performance improvements were made.

User documentation is now available in the application under the Help menu (and as text and HTML files). There is no new functionality. Evolvotron packagers are encouraged to upgrade their distributions to this version. (It's probably of less interest to self-builders as they will have seen the README anyway). This is likely to be the last release for at least a few months due to other commitments.

This release adds support for fullscreen mode. However, it only builds with newer versions of Qt, so it must be selected at compile time by a configure option. CPU specific optimisations are now also selectable as a configure option to save having to edit qmake files. This release will only be of interest to those wanting to run evolvotron full-screen, or who have been trying to run 0.2.1 on pre-Pentium3 hardware.
