The latest release of the system is now version 0-990. Here is a brief description of the updated and new features:
- The slow-down experienced in earlier versions is not so noticeable. This is due to the fact that patterns really are made out of constituent shapes now rather than spoofing them.
- Configuration files can be specified. The default config filename is ‘config.txt’ and this should be located in the same directory as the jar. If you want to use a different config filename, you can specify it on the command-line via a shortcut.
- Logging is now in place.
- The default colour for initial blocks is now green (!)
The observant amongst you may notice that this is a siginificant numeric jump from 0.27. This is not indicative of changes of this magnitude, however. Instead, it is due to the fact that we have changed our release naming convention. So release 0-990 is in fact subversion revision 990 of our repository. The prefix ‘0′ means that it is pre-release. i.e. not 1.XX. Notice the hyphen instead of a decimal point.
