This is our first patch since release! Thanks to everyone who reached out to share their problems and suggestions for Kaleidos!

• A new bundled collection - "Red-Hot", six patterns across all three noise types

• TILE - a switch in the export dialog: the image or video you export meets itself when you lay copies out as a grid - left edge into right, top into bottom. Settings that block tiling: polar coordinates, centered warps and rotation. Reaction Diffusion tiles too, with its own limitations

• HEX/RGB input - the color picker now has an entry row

• Intel Macs could not export video - and now they can. As a tradeoff, Kaleidos is now 30 MB larger. We'll split the builds per architecture in the future

• A pattern name with a shell character (such as [c]$[/c], [c]/[/c], [c]`[/c], [c]"[/c]) killed the export on macOS. The same happened if the user's profile name contained any of those characters

• The reaction ran at your monitor's refresh rate - it now runs on real time instead

• Gallery cards and previews showed the wrong part of a warped pattern

• Cell click interaction landed in the wrong place when ROTATE was not 0

• REPEL pushed the wrong way

• Reaction Diffusion MIX size ignored SIM SCALE

• The enlarged preview of a Reaction Diffusion pattern never held still

• Ukrainian "Радіальний" and "Випадково" were too long for their buttons

We also want to thank everyone who bought Kaleidos. The response went far beyond what we expected! Our roadmap before release did not have many major features on it, but after your feedback and support we may well extend our plans for Kaleidos

This update is mainly focused on final polishing before the Kaleidos release

We want to thank all the beta-testers who reported a few bugs, proposed a bunch of QOL features and supported us in every way! We also want to thank everyone who followed and supported us on social media!

Here is the list of changes that made their way in right before release!

• LÖVE export - as a GLSL file!

• Export parameters are remembered - across screens and across restarts. The chosen export parameters are what the export dialog offers next

• Clickable loop hint - when a loop needs a longer clip, the duration named next to the switch is now clickable: it applies that duration and turns LOOP on

• Two new bundled collections - "Petri Dish" and "Frostbite"

• A credits button in the menu, with the license: every shader in Kaleidos, bundled or your own, is CC0 - use it anywhere, no attribution!

• Windowed mode

• HIDE CURSOR option - the cursor disappears over the pattern itself and stays normal over the panels. Handy if you want to record interactivity

• WARP and POLAR only reached a small central area of a large render

• A reaction diffusion export past a 1024px window rendered the simulation into the top-left corner and left the rest black

• In IMAGE mode the preview showed the wrong moment for a reaction diffusion pattern - it advanced everything except the reaction

• Slider values could show [c]1.11e-16[/c] where they should show [c]0[/c]

That is all for today! See you on release day!
