Version 1.12.0

Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added an ocelot block. It's like the ocelot card, except it's a block
  and looks fancier. (#131)
- The screen node's context menu has got a new entry that allows you to
  remove the keyboard from the screen (and attach it back later).
- Resource usage details in the computer window now show the number of
  components connected to the computer (as well as the maximum available
  component count in parentheses).
- Added a tooltip entry for CPUs and component buses that show how many
  components they support.
- Added `ocelot.clearLog()` to the ocelot card API, allowing you to
  clear the log programmatically (such as on computer startup). (#130)
- Clicking on a note block in the workspace now plays a note (like in
  Minecraft).

Changes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The hint bar at the bottom now tells you that you can right-click on
  the TPS counter to change the simulation speed.
- Screen previews (rendered on screen nodes in the workspace) have been
  optimized and are now enabled by default for new users. (#103)
- Screen previews are now smoothed (using trilinear filtering).
- The contents of the screen window are now smoothed by default when the
  window is shrunk down. The old behavior with choppy rendering can be
  restrored by disabling mipmaps for screen windows in the UI settings.

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The native Lua libraries for the x86 (32-bit) Windows platform have
  been rebuilt and should now work. There's probably nobody who runs
  Ocelot Desktop on a 32-bit PC, but these libraries are also used if
  the emulator runs on a 32-bit version of JVM, which is suprisingly
  common.  (#125)
- Lack of proper synchronization when accessing the ocelot card's
  message buffer was causing glitches like pressing the clear button
  still leaving some messages in the log, and has now been resolved.
  (#129)
- Fixed glitchy screen window rendering caused by fractional scaling.
  (#103).

Version 1.11.1

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed a crash on Intel GPUs caused by shaders using a deprecated
  function.
- Fixed a freeze when saving or loading a workspace on Windows. (#123)

Version 1.11.0

Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Ocelot card can now push messages to the computer in addition to
  receiving them. The computer receives an `ocelot_message` signal for
  each pushed message. (#118)
- Added holiday decorations for computer nodes.

Changes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The emulator window's title now shows its version and the save path of
  the current workspace.
- Clicking on an interactive element no longer prevents its window from
  getting focused. (#99)

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Fixed a crash when loading a workspace that has a hologram projector
  window open. (#121)
- Ocelot Desktop now requests a forward-compatible OpenGL 3.2 core
  profile. A potential solution to #119.
- Fixed the resources allocated by the hologram projector window not
  getting freed when quitting Ocelot Desktop.
- Made note blocks visible to the whole network, matching the behavior
  of other nodes. (ocelot-brain#35)
- Fixed Lua 5.3/5.4 libraries failing to load on 32-bit Windows.
  (ocelot-brain#36)

Version 1.10.2

Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added tape playback.
- Added positional audio for tape drives.
  This can be toggled in the settings.
  - The scope of sounds affected by this will be expanded in the future.
- Added the tape floppy.

Changes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Tape drives can now be labeled.
- Sound emitted by OpenFM radios, sound cards, and tape drives is now
  classified under a new category "Records".
- Improved the tape drive UI.

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added an icon for note block instrument selection in the menu.
- Disk drives and RAIDs now display the filesystem address.
- Made RAIDs handle disk activity events.
- Fixed crashes related to invalid paths on Linux. (#114)
- Loot floppies no longer lose their (read-only) labels after a reload.
  (ocelot-brain#34)
- Fixed tape drives resetting their state to STOPPED after a reload.
- Fixed a crash when loading a workspace with a tape drive in a
  non-stopped state.

Version 1.10.1

Changes
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Ocelot files (native libraries, logs, configs, etc.) are now created
  in OS-specific directories.
  The Ocelot Desktop configuration path has been changed accordingly.

- Renamed a config option for setting the path to a brain config file.

- `computer.addUser` now checks if the player is "online" (that is,
  has the currently selected player name).

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Managed disks no longer create new empty directories while loading.

- Fixed a glitch with an inconsistent window size.

- Fixed the icon/Link sprite.

Version 1.10.0

Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Added RAIDs.

- Added tape drives from Computronics. (ocelot-brain#31)

- Added microcontrollers.
  Upgrades are not currently supported. (#50)

- Added a relay mode button in the server rack UI. (#113)

- Added magical (unbounded) memory from Computronics.

- Added network activity indication in racks.

- The new system settings tab allows changing the path to a brain config
  file and generating a default configuration file.

- Added a menu bar entry to check for updates.

Changes
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Ocelot now asks for confirmation if it sees it's trying to save to a
  non-empty directory (#96).

- The ocelot card's console has been improved (#109):

  - Added a message count limit.
  - Added a checkbox to scroll to the end of the log automatically.
  - A computer whose ocelot card has logged a message now spawns
    particles so you can notice it.

- The file chooser will have native look-and-feel where supported by
  Swing.

- The node selector's background is now less transparent
  for readability.

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- All shaders now use GLSL version 1.40 (OpenGL 3.1).
  The requirement isn't new, but the version was incorrect. (#110)

- Exceptions that occur while loading or saving a workspace are now
  actually printed to the log.

- Make saving more robust.

  - A copy of workspace.nbt is made before saving.
  - Quicksave failures should no longer crash the emulator.
  - If a non-existent path is chosen, it will be created.

- Significantly improved the performance of the ocelot card when it has
  a lot of messages. (#96)

- Fixed message routing not working in server racks. (#112)

- The file chooser should now be displayed on top of other windows.

- Fixed a couple off-by-one errors in racks when dealing with
  connectables.

- Fixed a crash if an EEPROM tries to load data from an external file
  that does not exist.

- Added server racks, servers, and mountable disk drives.

- The screen aspect ratio is now customizable via a context menu entry.

- Added screen previews (turned off by default due to extremely poor
  performance).

- Added an Ocelot Card, a custom component that provides methods for
  logging, retrieving the call budget, and querying the time.

- Removed the native file chooser dialog in favor of the more stable
  Swing file chooser.

- Node chooser entries are now grouped by their provenance
  ("vanilla" or addon).

- The new node chooser was made taller.

- Added icons to all context menu entries.

Fixes
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.8.0

# Features
- Added item chests that allow storing arbitrary items. Their contents
  are persisted along with the rest of the workspace.

- Items are now draggable (hold the LMB).

- Added hologram projectors! The hologram window features a 3D viewport
  where you can examine your hologram.

- Disks (HDDs and floppies) got a new option in the context menu to
  allow relabeling them and making them read-only or unmanaged, among
  other things.

- Windows now feature a title bar. You can close a window from the GUI
  as well as pin it to the workspace (or unpin). Unpinned windows are
  not moved when you drag the workspace (which is how they worked a long
  time ago).
