Changelog

* Sat May 25 2024 Antoine Belvire <antoine.belvire@opensuse.org>
  - Update to version 4.3:
    * Added the new Investigator rule family to the Super algorithm.
    * Adjusted Super conversion scripts to handle Investigator rules,
      including a new toInvestigator.lua conversion script that will
      be mapped by default to Alt+I whenever Golly creates a new
      GollyPrefs file.
    * Minor improvements to error-checking and recovery in
      toHistory.lua and toSuper.lua conversion scripts.
    * Various changes to the RLE parsing code, mainly for consistency
      with LifeViewer..
    * Fixed a crash by limiting the scale to no more than 2^(2^20)
      cells per pixel.
    * Fixed a bug that affected all multi-state hashlife algorithms
      (changing a cell in a very large pattern could result in a
      corrupted universe).
    * Fixed some bugs handling filenames with underscores or
      ampersands in the Open/Run Recent submenus.
    * Fixed orientation of Custom neighborhood in the Larger than
      Life algorithm.
    * Fixed an assertion in progress bar update when downloading a
      file from a web server using gzip compression.
    * Better support for .rule files with very long lines. An error
      message is now displayed if a line exceeds the maximum length of
      4,000 characters.
    * The Pattern Info window displays Unicode characters correctly
      (assuming the comments are UTF-8 encoded).
    * 3D.lua has a Pattern Info command (in its View menu) which will
      display the current pattern's comments in the help window. You
      can also click on the new "i" button.
    * The Larger than Life algorithm now supports Aligned Checkerboard
      neighborhood (ND).
    * New script safeopenclip.lua will attempt to open the clipboard
      as a pattern.
    * Modified goto.lua to check for a number too large for Lua (if
      so then the script exits and recommends using goto.py instead).
    * File > Run Clipboard displays a nicer error message if the
      clipboard doesn't contain Lua/Python code.
    * Removed optional support for Perl.
    * Updated Lua to version 5.4.6.
    * Added a query command (for Lua or Python) that displays a
      modal dialog with customizable button labels.
    * Lots of new patterns.
    * Reformatted and renamed many Larger than Life and Generations
      patterns to use Golly native HROT format and/or an .rle
      extension instead of .mcl.
    * Deleted pattern: oscillator-stamp-collection-12August2022.rle
      (replaced by oscillator-stamp-collection-31January2023.rle).
    * The comments in a large number of existing patterns have been
      modified (broken links deleted or fixed, and the formatting of
      paragraphs made more consistent).
    * Added new rules required by some of the new patterns.
* Thu May 18 2023 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@inai.de>
  - Trim unquantified wording from descriptions.
* Thu Apr 27 2023 antoine.belvire@opensuse.org
  - Update to version 4.2:
    * Fixed a bug in script commands like g.setpos that accept
      integers as strings.
    * Fixed a number of bugs that could result in an "illegal
      operation while calculating" warning.
    * Performance improvements to Larger than Life NL (Triangular)
      and NB (Checkerboard) rules.
    * Updated Lua to version 5.4.4.
    * Added support for https links when downloading files from
      online archives.
    * New patterns, mostly in OCA (non-Conway's Life) rules, plus
      updates to Life stamp collections.
    * Moved/renamed whiteboard-17c2415-spaceship.rle,
      sierpinski-builder.rle, wolfram22.mc.
    * Reorganized patterns in HashLife folder into subfolders
      "Construction", "Eventful", and "Metacell".
    * Links and dates in many pattern comments updated to standard
      format.
  - Changes of versions 4.1, 4.0, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.8, 2.7:
    See https://golly.sourceforge.net/Help/changes.html.
  - Drop Perl dependencies: Perl scripting has been replaced by Lua
    scripting. golly is built against a patched version of Lua
    included in sources.
  - Modify desktop file to run with GDK_BACKEND=x11: Allow to run the
    application built against wxWidgets without EGL support.
  - Refreshed spec file.
* Wed Mar 19 2014 avvissu@yandex.ru
  - Create sub-package golly-devel-static to provide the static
    library needed for shared builds and to fix compilation on
    Fedora.
* Wed Mar 19 2014 avvissu@yandex.ru
  - Add and package desktop file
  - Delete golly-zlib.patch
    + Set ZLIB_LDFLAGS in %{build} instead
  - Fix rpmlint error: devel-file-in-non-devel-package
    + Create package golly-devel to package all devel files
* Tue Mar 18 2014 avvissu@yandex.ru
  - Update to 2.6 for openSUSE and Fedora:
    * Fixed a nasty bug that could cause Golly to crash when doing a
      paste.
    * Fixed a bug that could cause the paste image to disappear after
      a flip/rotate.
    * Tool bar buttons are no longer disabled when the main window is
      inactive.
    * The save settings in Preferences > Layer are now obeyed by
      scripts. For example, let's assume you've ticked the option to
      be asked to save changes on creating a new pattern. If the
      current layer has changes and you run a script that calls
      new() then you'll get the standard dialog asking if you want
      to save those changes. If you cancel the dialog then the script
      is aborted.
    * To avoid potential data loss, you now get a warning if you save
      a non-starting generation and earlier changes exist. The
      warning can be disabled in Preferences > Layer.
    * Created an online archive for very large patterns.
* Thu Jun 09 2011 prusnak@opensuse.org
  - use shared zlib (zlib.patch)
* Thu Jun 02 2011 prusnak@opensuse.org
  - updated to 2.2
* Tue Feb 23 2010 prusnak@suse.cz
  - created package
