<h2>Changes</h2>
<h3>Changes in version 1.3 (released !!!)</h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li> Fixed link to Rule Table Repository in Help > Online Archives.
<li> Fixed paste bug that prevented rule from being changed even if universe was empty.
<li> Updated the <a href="Lexicon/lex.htm">Life Lexicon</a> to release 27.
</ul>
<h3>Changes in version 1.2 (released October 2017)</h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li> Golly has a new algorithm that supports the
<a href="Algorithms/Larger_than_Life.html">Larger than Life</a>
family of rules.
<li> Added support for <a href="Algorithms/QuickLife.html#map">MAP rules</a> to
QuickLife, HashLife and Generations.
<li> QuickLife and HashLife now support
<a href="Algorithms/QuickLife.html#nontotal">non-totalistic rules</a>.
A number of interesting examples can be found in the new Patterns/Non-Totalistic folder.
<li> The <a href="Algorithms/Generations.html">Generations</a> algorithm now supports
Hex, Von Neumann and non-totalistic Moore neighborhoods.
<li> The <a href="Lexicon/lex.htm">Life Lexicon</a> has had a major update.
<li> The Banks, Codd, Devore, and JvN folders have moved into a new top-level
"Self-Rep" folder, to emphasize their common focus on self-replication.
<li> Rendering speed is faster in most cases.
<li> Files with extensions .colors or .icons are no longer supported.
<li> The Fit button will fit the paste image in the viewport if the current pattern is empty.
<li> The action menu has a new Fit item that will fit the current selection in the viewport.
<li> Double-tapping the paste image now stops generating (the same as tapping the Paste button).
<li> Fixed an undo/reset bug that could occur if there was a rule change at the
starting generation.
<li> Fixed minor problems with status bar messages.
<li> Major reorganization of source code so that the iOS and Android versions of Golly
can share common code.
<li> This version requires iOS 8.0 or later.
</ul>
<h3>Changes in version 1.1 (released June 2013)</h3>
<p>
<ul>
<li> This version introduces a new rule format. A file in the new format has a .rule
extension and contains all the information about the rule: its name, description,
table/tree data, and any color/icon information. More details can be found
<a href="formats.html#rule">here</a>.
<li> The RuleTable and RuleTree algorithms have been replaced by a new algorithm
called RuleLoader.
<li> If the Paste button sees clipboard text starting with "@RULE rulename" then it will
save the text as Documents/Rules/rulename.rule and switch to that rule.
<li> When the Rule dialog is switched to the RuleLoader algorithm it will display links
to all the .rule files in Documents/Rules/ and to the supplied .rule files.
Any deprecated files (.table or .tree or .colors or .icons) are automatically
converted to .rule files and then deleted.
<li> Icons can be displayed at scales 1:8, 1:16 and 1:32 by turning on the "Show icons"
option in either the Settings tab or the Pattern tab's state picker window.
<li> Fixed a bug that could cause the Undo/Redo buttons to be incorrectly
enabled/disabled after tapping STOP.
<li> The Open tab has READ and EDIT links that let you display or change the contents
of pattern files. Only files stored in the Documents folder can be edited.
<li> After tapping on a DELETE link you now get a warning dialog asking if you
really want to delete the corresponding file.
<li> The size of text in the Help tab has been increased.
<li> Added support for file sharing using iTunes.
More details <a href="open.html#sharing">here</a>.
</ul>
