zima 0.9.0

I've been sitting on this release for far too long. It might be a little underwhelming, but it'd be good to get the improvements out officially.

Note that as of this version, Java 17 or above is required!

Improvements:

• New module: World Checker!
  • This module checks for common flaws and bugs in ZZT 3.2 worlds.
• New module: TinyZoo Converter! (Currently CLI-only)
• Partial ZXT world support.
• Partial Weave 3 support.

zima 0.8.3

(hotfix build 1)

zima 0.8.2

Improvements:

• MegaZeux image conversion is now up to ~6% faster.

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed outputting Super ClassicZoo and WeaveZZT board files.

zima 0.8.1

Improvements:

• [#11] Warning before overwriting an already saved file.
• Coarse dither-enabled conversion is now multithreaded! Expect much faster performance.
• Super ClassicZoo profile added; for now it's just the Super ZZT profile with an increased board size limit.
  • As ZZT 3.2 can't generate a Zima board above the 20000-byte limit, a ClassicZoo option is not necessary for now.
• WeaveZZT's other.maxstats setting is now respected.
• WeaveZZT's theme.blinking setting is now respected.
• WeaveZZT's pal.* settings are now respected.

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed performance regression from zima 0.6.0 in MegaZeux conversion mode.

zima 0.8.0

Improvements:

• Added custom palette generation support!
  • You can now select colors in the "Palette" menu to be replaced with image-specific colors.
  • The colors are allocated in a way where the areas covered by the fixed/unchanged colors are taken into account.
  • Resulting palettes can be exported as .PAL files or in Weave ZZT #PALETTE command format.
• Added WeaveZZT 2.5 support!
  • .CFG file parsing supported for custom element characters.
  • "CUSTOMTEXT" (element ID 46) is also supported.
• Square character sets in Super ZZT are no longer stretched.

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed freeze when opening directories with thousands of files.
• Fixed GMse algorithm not working with non-8x14 character sets.

zima 0.7.0

Improvements:

• Added experimental "GMse" converter algorithm.
• Added "Toggle all" button to the Elements tab.

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed performance regression from zima 0.6.0.

zima 0.6.0

Improvements:

• Added experimental coarse (character-level) dithering support.
• Added option to change the stat cycles for statful elements.
  • By default, it is now a cycle speed of 0, as opposed to 1!
• Minor performance optimizations.

zima 0.5.1

Improvements:

• In order to combat the issue of border halfchars forming around images, new aspect ratio preservation modes have been
  added as follows:
  • Snap to char (new default) - rounds width/height to the nearest character.
  • Snap to center - rounds width/height to the nearest character which allows the image to be centered.
• The aspect ratio preservation mode is now saved as part of the profile.
• The window title now displays the program version.

Bugs fixed:

• The window pane showing scroll bars when unnecessary on some platforms has been fixed.
• The correct program version is now displayed (regression in 0.4.2+).

zima 0.5.0

Improvements:

• Added .MZM export support for interoperability with MegaZeux.
• Added a "MegaZeux" platform. It behaves a bit differently from previous ones - only the board width and height can be
  configured, and there are no elements to choose from. Rather, these decisions are performed by the MegaZeux editor.
  • Note that even though "MegaZeux" is a platform, many parts of the algorithm still assume an ASCII-esque character
    layout (solid, blending, empty characters).
• The open/save dialogs now remember the directory they were last used in (per-type) until you close the app.
• (Very) minor performance improvements.

Bugs fixed:

• Fixed decreased performance of preview generation (regression from 0.4.1).
• Fixed incorrect scrolling of oversized images (noticeable on non-ZZT platforms).

zima 0.4.2

Bugs fixed:

• [#9] Broken optimization code (regression in 0.4.1)
• [#8] Profiles not loading their custom element selection. (regression in 0.4.0)
