Results in significantly faster rendering of effects. -enh (dkulp) SPEED: Add "Fast Save" option on Nutcracker tab to allow the save command to only render the cells below and to the right of the cells that have changed. Placing the models you are working on to the right on the grid can significantly speed up turn around time if you flip between Preview and Nutcracker often. -bug (dkulp) Fix bug in SingelStrand chase effect that could cause a crash/memory corruption if used on models with more than 1000 nodes. (like whole house) -bug (dkulp) Fix a crash that would occur if the image effect was used, but no image was available. -bug (dkulp) Column Shift left/right now copies cell protection. 3.6.7 Nov 23, 2014 -bug (djulien) scrunch UI so it will fit on a laptop (needs to be < 760 px high) -bug (dkulp) Fix Rendering of Ripple effect during save, now shows up in PREVIEW and lights -bug (dkulp) Fix Rendering of Strobe effect during save, now shows up in PREVIEW and lights 3.6.6 Nov 22, 2014 -bug (dkulp) Size of picture and setting size of display window in PREVIEW could cause a condition where you could not select items. fixed. -enh (cpinkham) Add 'Pixelnet-Open' Network Type for Pixelnet output using Generic FTDI chipset USB to RS485 dongles. -enh (dkulp) During conversions, buffer non-critical updates to the messages list and append to the list box in blocks of about 10K. Significantly speeds up conversions for HLS and LOR with very large files that display a lot of messages. 3.6.5 Nov 20, 2014 -enh (sean) New effect class , Strobe. -enh (sean) Icons on top of each effect improved. This icons will be what you drag and drop effects in xLights 4.0.

(lose the ends) -enh (dkulp) Added pixel level "Skips" effect to SingleStrand effects. -enh (dkulp) Add ability to shift columns in the grid left or right to reorder them. -enh (dkulp) If the effect is NONE and the buffer is already clear, skip clearing it. For large Whole House models, clearing the buffer can take time so skip it if we can. -bug (dkulp) If the preview is too large for the viewport such that part of the preview was cut off at the top, clicking wasn’t adjusting the Y coordinate to compensate when determining what was being clicked on. 3.6.4 Nov 12, 2014 -bug (frankr) Fixed playback issue. If you play a sequence in the PREVIEW tab, stop, go and edit some effects in the NUYTCRACKER tab, press save and then go back to the PREVIEW tab, xlights would freeze up. This should be fixed now -enh (frankr) improvements to audio scrubbing and better handling of stop now button on -bug (frankr) When first entering teh PREVIEW tab , if you right click and select model xlights crashed. Fixed. -enh (sean) New effect "Off". This effect is the equivalent of "Colorwash, 1color=BLACK" -enh (sean) When saving a sequence the elapsed time for the save is now shown in the bottom status line. -enh (sean) New favicons have been added to the left most corner of Effects. The purpose of these is to have a graphical representation of effects. This is pre work for the new xlights 4.0 coming early next year. In xlights 4, effects will be dropped onto horizontal timelines, for for each model. -bug (dkulp) OSX - selecting cells on the Nutcracker grid was not updating the colours on the palette buttons -bug (dkulp) On OSX Yosemite, the Font dialogue for the text effect would cause a crash. -bug (dkulp) sometimes xlights would crash when you selected multiple objects and then right clicked to the alignment menu. Fixed. 3.6.3 Nov 11, 2014 -bug (dkulp) Fix problem of stars using a single RGB node per concentric layer not displaying correctly. -enh (sean) Moved "Create Whole House Model" button to be higher on the screen. This helps people with lower resolution computers. -enh (sean) reformatted Pinwheel screen so that it does not take as much screen to draw form. 3.6.2 Nov 7, 2014 -enh (dkulp) Tree360 and Tree270 can now specify which strand to use for the first column when exporting and individual model. This allows the exported models to work around issues with the 12:00 first strand for Nutcracker but the first strand is expected to be the 9:00 position in HLS. -enh (frankr) New play,pause,stop buttons in PREVIEW screen. Moving the slider plays sequence data and plays sound, Move it to place where you want to start. Press PLAY, sequence starts from there. STOP button resets sequence to 0:0.0 -enh (dpitts) New feature to select multiple objects in the PREVIEW window. 1st) Click and select first object that will be used as baseline. 2nd) Hold the shift key down and draw a rectangle. Any objects that fall within the rectangle will be selected. 3rd) Right click and select how you want the selected objects to be aligned (Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Horizontal Center, Vertical Center). If items are stretched out horizontally, use Top/Bottom. If item are stretched out vertically, use Left/Right. A group that is highlighted in yellow can be moved anywhere on the screen, hold the ctrl key down before moving. Note: A highlighted group cannot be sized or rotated. That will be added in a future release. NOTE: If you screw something up, exit without saving and come back in. Later we will add an undo key. NOTE2: If you have been editing your preview and it looks good, do a Save on the preview screen. Also do a "File,Backup". This will save your current preview work AND make a copy of it in the Backup subdirectory. 3.6.1 Nov 6,2014 -bug (dkulp) Pinwheel effect was not producing data in Preview screen or on lights, it is fixed now -enh (sean) Move Effect 1 and Effect 2 into tabs . This gives more space for the preview screen -enh (dpitts) Selected objects in the preview are yellow , not magenta 3.6.0 Nov 6,2014 -enh (dpitts) NUTCRACKER and PREVIEW windows now use OpenGL to draw objects. The result of this is xLights can now draw very large objects with no delay. -enh (dpitts) New ability to load an image into the background of the PREVIEW tab. There is a brightness slider to dim the image you just loaded to give it a dusk time feel. -enh (dpitts) New ability to set the resolution of the PREVIEW screen. Set the size and it will be remembered. This is needed to help when making Whole House Models. This way you can always come back to the layout you had been working on. -enh (dpitts) You can now click and drag objects in the PREVIEW tab. If there are multiple objects under your mouse click multiple times and it will cycle through all of them -enh (dpitts) Now objects are sized and rotated about their graphical center, This means objects do not move around the screen if you resize or rotate. -enh (dpitts) New rotate handles. Grab the handle and move mouse to rotate. Highlighted model is now magenta insteads of yellow -enh (sean) Added Pinwheel effect -bug (dpitts) Model Brightness Now works -enh (dkulp) Allow star layers to be ordered low to high (to inside layer first) -bug (captmurdoch,materdaddy,dkulp) Modify make files and libraries so 3.6.0 can be compiled on MAC and on Linux 3.5.2 Oct 30,2014 -bug (frankr) Fix for preview moving some elements into the wrong place. Before the ability to rotate any element rotations were in 3 degree increments, now they are 1 degree. This change caused existing previews to draw elements in a new position. New code detects old rotation or new rotation values and draws both correctly. -bug (frankr) Fixed issue related to views when switching to new show folder. Under some circumstances, xlights would crash. 3.5.1 Oct 30, 2014 -bug (dpitts) Found bug that causes crash. Single color models that have multiple lights (think 1 string of single color with 50 lights uses 1 channel, but draws 50 places) was not allocating memory correctly for each pseudo light. -enh (frankr) Ability added to preview screen, you now can rotate any object not just single string. 3.5.0 Oct 29, 2014 -enh (dpitts) New button added to the preview screen. This will create a Whole House Model for you automatically. There is now a new type of model "Whole House". You no longer need to use spreadsheets and the custom model. Procedure: Layout your preview. When everything is correct, press "Create Whole House Model". Give it a name. This new whole house model should NOT have "Part of my Display" checked. Add the new whole house model as a column in your Nutcracker grid. enjoy the new feature, many thanks to Dave Pitts!! -bug (dkulp) fixed issue with Star model with users sequences that were older than Oct 20th. This was crashing xlights at launch time. 3.4.24 Oct 28, 2014 -enh (dpitts) New feature to allow creating views. A view is a collection of models. When you select a view it acts like a filter and only shows you the models contained in your view. T -enh (dkulp) Star model can now have multiple star size "layers" to model exploding star type things Example: a 100 node star may have 50 for the outer layer, 30 for the middle, 20 for the inner. -bug (djulien) Fixed multi-cell morph (caused Papagayo flicker), avoid error if try to save file with no pgo data -enh (sean) Increased custom model from 300x300 to 1000x1000 3.4.23 Oct 25, 2014 -enh (sean) Added Ripple Effect Class -bug (sean) Recompiled entire rpoject , we believe a few modeuls were compiled with debug and that was causing the error message in the model screen.

This effect is basically a square wave, it turns all lights on and then all lights off. -enh (sean) Removed FACES, COROFACES and PINWHEEL from the "Create Random Effects" button -enh (djulien) Change Pgo "auto fade element" to "auto rest" (not functional yet), leave initial Pgo Preset cleared for stitch 3.4.21 Oct 20, 2014 -enh (djulien) Added model CSV export to the Models screen. This csv file can be opened by Excel or Open Office spreadsheets 3.4.20 Oct 19, 2014 -enh (djulien) Added Papagayo Preset stitch (allows Presets to be combined dynamically at run time) NOTES: - Papagayo Presets match by model or voice name now rather than column#. This means they can move around between columns and still work. - The format of the xlights_papagayo.xml file (where pgo Presets are stored) changed but should be backward-compatible. - Custom model info is cached with the Presets; if you change your Custom Models then re-Save the associated Presets - workflow for horizontal (side-by-side) stitch of multiple pgo files + presets is as follows: 1. clear grid 2. load first pgo file 3. select corresponding Preset; this will "bind" the Preset info to the voice(s) in the pgo file 4. load next pgo file using "" button, specify "0" for #frames to shift 5. select corresponding Preset 6. select output file if not already set 7. click button at the bottom to generate the sequence 8. load additional pgo files as desired; for vertical stitch (concatenate) enter a non-0 value for #frames to shift 3.4.19 Oct 18, 2014 -bug (djulien) Fixed Coro Faces render problem on models with > 26 columns, adjust text size on model zoom in/out, Papagayo Preset delete button -enh (djulien) Added Papagayo horizontal stitch (supports any number of voices within reason), accept 39 extended phonemes (auto-map to basic 10), removed duplicate phoneme in frame message (CAUTION: phonemes will be dropped with no warnings), added Preset consistency check, start making Model dialog resizable, show reason for "reseting flags" message 3.4.18 Oct 13,2014 -enh (djulien) Merged Papagayo sub-tabs; implemented Image option (Movie option TBD); enabled fade on Auto faces; added Copy column button; flattened xlights_papagayo.xml file (old Presets still used for backwards compatibility, but new Presets are written a level higher and merged) -bug (djulien) Fixed Papagayo auto-fade; mostly works now, but there seems to still be some flicker (caused by something else within xLights) -enh (sean) New effect class PinWheel. This is NOT working yet, it is a place holder. 3.4.17 Oct 8, 2014 PRE-RELEASE. There are still bugs we are working in the corofaces code. One we know of , outline does not show in PREVIEW -enh (djulien) This release sees the Papagayo Tab for Corofaces working. To use this, choose a pgo file as input, choose a file for output. Choose your custom models from a pull down list. Be sure they have "Part of my Display" checked. Assign channels to Phonemes. You can assign multiple channels by doing ctl-click. Create an xml file of the pgo. 3.4.16 Oct 1, 2014 -enh (djulien) Add zoom in/out buttons on Custom Model grid display (makes it easier to see larger grids) -enh (djulien) On Papagayo Coro faces tab, moved model name into grid, show drop-down list of choices in grid cells, allow Pagagayo file stitch ("" button), add UI controls for face element auto-fade, save/restore last tab, show list of checkboxes in Coro Faces effect panel 3.4.15 Sep 28, 2014 - ENH (Sean) merge_xml.awk will combine multiple xlights xml sequences into one. - ENH (Sean) corofaces.awk awk now will stitch together multiple files for the same voice. 3.4.14 Sep 26, 2014 - ENH (Sean) scripts added that can take Papagayo voices and make xlights sequences from them - ENH (Sean) Scripts are found in your installation directory. corofaces.awk, coroface.bat - ENH (Sean) Installation of xlights now installs gawk. 3.4.13 Sep 19, 2014 -ENH (sean) The scale slider in the PREVIEW tab now goes to 300. before range was 1-100, now 1-300 -bug (djulien) Avoid wx assert error during save/load pgo settings (bad grid row#), default to first group after loading settings (however, this can lead to mismatches), don’t show "suspicious" message for missing voice data, list all models (even if not in Preview) -bug (djulien) Allow pgo parser to tolerate blank voices 3.4.12 Aug 19, 2014  —  enh (dkulp) HLS import - now uses wxYield to display progress during load  —  enh (dkulp) HLS import - if an HLS universe has less channels than configured in xLights, use the xLights value. If the HLS universe has more, display a warning. -ENH (sean) 4th Open option of Nuctacrker, "New Animation Sequence", now allows fractional times. Before only values like "10,11,15" were allowed. Now "10.123,11.32123,15.2" 3.4.11 Aug 15, 2014 -ENH (sean) Single Strand Effect now can use "Fit to Time". If this is checked, one cycle of an arch will be done.

Both have been fixed. 3.4.10 Aug 14, 2014 -ENH (sean) complete rewrite of Single Strand effect. New sliders: Number of Chases, color (Rainbow,palette) 3.4.9 Aug 7, 2014 -Bug (djulien) wxDateTime is broken again; force RFC822 format to try to get it to work; for example: "Thu, 25 Dec 2014 00:00:00 MST" or "Thu, 25 Dec 2014 00:00:00 -0700" can be used on line 1 of the text effect, select different display options from the countdown -Bug (sean) "Create Random Effects" would create a preponderance of BARS and BUTTERFLY effects. Effects are now random. -Bug (sean) xLights icon (Yellow Bulb), was not associated with the exe file. Shortcuts showed default icon. This now fixed. 3.4.8 Aug 3,2014 -Enh (sean) Changed Playback counter on NUTCRACKER tab. It now updated 20 times per second instead of once per second. also changed the format to include fractional seconds. Finally added two displays, one has minutes, the second is just total seconds. 3.4.7 Jul 29,2014 -Enh (sean) Added Model brightness adjustment into Model screen. Not functional yet, this is a pre-release -Bug (sean) Fixed export for single channel strings for LSP 3.4.6 Jul 23,2014 -Enh (sean) Increased maximum time for a empty sequence from 300 seconds to 3600 seconds 3.4.5 Jul 15, 2014  —  enh (dkulp) If an empty LMS channel is part of an RGB group, don’t consider it empty.  —  enh (dkulp) Add a checkbox to TabConvert to go ahead and map the empty channels  — bug fix (mbrown) Fix Custom RGB Models that have multiple nodes with the same number  — bug fix (djulien) fix segv due to incorrect compiler code in Piano effect  — bug fix (mbrown) Custom models now work with traditional strings 3.4.4 Jul 2, 2014 -Bug (dkulp) Fix LOR Import The old XML parser, on the start element event, you could query if the element was empty or not. For the "channel" element, if it was empty, we skipped it and didn’t map it to a channel. The new parser doesn’t have that functionality. I have to record some information at the start tag, determine if there are any effect child elements, and if not, undo some stuff at the end element. The detection and undo wasn’t working properly. Thus, any empty channels in the LMS were getting mapped. Why is this a problem? Well, LMS has a habit of using extra channels for things. For example, the CCR’s which have 50 pixels would normally just be 150 channels. However, in the LMS file, they are 157 channels. I have no idea what the LR, MM, ME, CM, CS, and CI channels that it puts for each CCR are used for. In any case, those extra 7 channels (and any other empty channels) would cause large shifts. This release has changes to fix that. 3.4.3 Jun 30, 2014 -Enh (dkulp) Reduce memory usage of LMS import  —  enh (dkulp) Change XML parser to spxml to avoid loading entire file into memory 3.4.2 Jun 26, 2014  — bug fix (dkulp) Problems loading large LMS files causing crashes/hangs  —  enh (dkulp) Add additional status messages while loading LMS files 3.4.1 Jun 19, 2014 -Bug fix (sean) Butterfly effect now creates pixels at {0,1} and {1,0} correctly -Enh (sean) added two new butterfly effects -Enh (sean) Work in progress.

You can select a wreath as a display element. - Enhancement: (matt). You can select a string type of 3 channel RGB (In other words dumb rgb strings) NOTE! With the change to the latest wxWidgets 2.9.5 , Mac 10.6.8 is no longer supported. We now will only support 10.7 and higher 3.1.4 Sep 4, 2013 - Enhancement: (Matt). Custom Model now uses pixel count 1..n. Models can be put on preview. For example, you can define a candy cane out of rgb pixels and then place candy cane in the preview window. Very Nice! - Enhancement: (Matt) You can now copy models. - Enhancement: (Matt) You can now rotate single strand models in the preview window. - Enhancement: (Matt) There is a Sequence open button on the Preview tab. If you use this to open a sequence there is an option to set the "Part of my Display" checkboxes to match the models that just got opened. 3.1.3 Aug 27,2013 - Enhancement: (Matt). New Effect Curtain. - Enhancement: (Matt) New tab PREVIEW. There is a new tab that will allow you to see all of your models displaying effects. - Bug (Frank) Fixed channel numbering for single string and Window models 3.1.2 Aug 17,2013 - Enhancement: (Frankr). Circle effect now has new option called plasma. - Enhancement: (Matt Brown). bars compress & expand so that the two halves mirror each other. - Bug: (Frankr). found and fixed the issues with fire and meteors that were being discussed at DIYC. - Enhancement (Dan Kulp). New import from HLS now available on CONVERT tab - Enhancement (Frankr). New option in spirals to allow the thickness to grow or shrink 3.1.1 Aug 12,2013 - Bug Fix: (Matt Brown). Matt has fixed the Meteor effect. He has also enhanced it so meteors can fall to the left or right. We have renamed Starfield to be called "explode" and "implode" - Enhancement: (Matt Brown) I made some improvements to countdown & skip blank cells logic. I also changed a couple of method names to make them more clear. Also, the timer now skips if the last interval takes more than 50ms to process. Before it was blocking until the last interval finished (so if every interval took more than 50ms you had a stackup of waiting timer calls to process). 3.1.0 Aug 7,2013 - Enhancement: (frankr) new single BACKUP option now. Goto to "File,Backup" and every xml file you have will be created in the new Backup sub-directory under show show directory. How big are xLight sequences? The xseq file for 12K channels is around 30mbytes, the xml of your sequence is around 30kbytes. As comparison the XML file for LOR for the same song is 800mbytes, for LSP 1.2gbytes. Because xlight sequence files are so small (normally < 50kbytes), we can back them all up quickly. How long to back up over 100 sequences? < 1 second. How much space does 100 sequences take? < 10 mbytes How many times can you do this per day? 1000’s. How to use this feature? Just do a "File, Backup" before getting new versions. I would do a copy if you plan on doing lots of edits. Basically get yourself protected. So after upgrading to 3.1.0, go and make a copy before opening any sequences - Enhancement: (Matt Brown) re-engineered the underlying architecture. This is like replacing the galvanized pipe with copper pipe on your home. Takes lots of effort, when you are done the house still looks the same. This re-architecture was needed to allows us to offer new fit to time frame option. With this option effects will be enhanced to do things like start and end exactly to the timing marks on a row. Wait for future releases to see how this is going to help. Trust me, you will like the new things coming. - Enhancement: (Matt Brown) has enhanced the preview screen so it is multiple times brighter than before. So much nicer now!! - Enhancement: (frankr) made it so that when you select none, it will not overwrite existing data. Why do we care? This enhancement means a LSP person could sequence the first 30 seconds of a megatree (mark those rows as none,none in nutcracker). Now fill the rest of the sequence with nutcracker effects. The result? LSP effects will appear for the first 30 seconds, Nutcracker effects will appear for the remainder. - Enhancement:(Frankr) enhanced the right click process for protecting a cell. Before you had to get focus on the cell by left clicking (turned it yellow), then you could right click. Now just ricght click any cell, you don’t need left click first - Enhancement: (Matt Brown) made it so effects are now listed alphabetically except for effects current under development (like the piano keyboard) - Enhancement: (sean) Sean added Radial 3d Button. Click this button besides the Radial button to get new radial effects - Bug Fix: (Sean, Matt, frankkr) . Found more division by zero errors, fixed them. - Enhancement: (Sean), For any person who is pulling code and compiling it (Like MaterDaddy for Linux compiles). I have renamed repository nutcracker_c to be called xLights. Nutcracker_c was just a temp name I was using. I want everyone to remember we started with the xLights code base from Matt Brown in January of this year. Nutcracker is just one tab on xllights. People get confused is it xLights? Is it Nutcracker? All of nutcracker has been put inside of xLights so the repository should be called the same. Again thanks to Matt for making this all possible. So here is new repository: - Enhancement: Please start to enter bugs into github so we can track them there. If you want to raise a bug go to - Bug fix: (Matt) Meteors has been fixed by Matt’s rewrite of the preview window. This means the normal Meteor effect is now working again. StarField still does not display on megatrees, it does work on other models. 3.0.24 Aug 4,2013 - Enhancement: (frankr) New fade in and fade out boxes on every effect. Enter the number of seconds to either fade in/out. - Enhancement: (sean) Started development of Piano Keyboard. This is not complete. Will eventually use an input file from Audacity that will identify the polyphonic notes in a song. - Enhancement: (matt) Many changes to text. Ghosting is now fixed. You no longer have to use the temporary fix of using "1 is unmask, 2 is color wash". Text now has 45 degrees rotation. Countdown timer can show seconds counting down or it can show "xx d yy h zz m aa s" display. countdown text is now centered correctly. - Enhancement: (frankr) New effect for circles. Circles can bounce, collide. Choose radial to make a new effect - Bug Fix: (sean) fixed crash when creating random effects. The new effect classes (piano,circles) were causing problem. fixed - Bug Fix: (sean) When randomly creating Spirograph effects, the animate button was not being selected. fixed. - Enhancement: (frankr) Cells in your effect grid can now be protected/un-protected. Protect a cell and press the "create random effects" and all cells will get a new effect unless the cell is protected. Under Development: Piano Effect. This is NOT done yet. when completed it will animate a piano keyboard. - Enhancement: (frankr) Slider next to Layer choice. This slider allows you to pick how much of effect 1 and effect 2 show through.
