====== L3DT release v11.11 ======

Released on the 30th of November, 2011 ([[bundynews>l3dt:ann:v11.11|see announcement]])

===== Major features =====

==== Memory management =====

  * Implemented adaptive mosaic cache size, to allow app to consume more RAM.
    * Provides 3x speed improvement for mosaic water table flooding.
  * Marked support for large addresses, allowing up to 3.5GB of ram to be used.

==== Optimisations ====

  * Optimised LinInterp for RGB textures (80% speed improvement for high res TX generation without antialiasing).
  * Optimised LinInterp for normal maps (20% speed improvement for TN generation).
  * Dropped automatic saving of mosaics between calculations; was slow an unnecessary. 
  * Multithread AM calculation (4x faster than L3DT 11.08 on quad core; figure includes cache optimisations).


==== Mesh decimator ====

  * Fix seam problem in texture tile edges from mesh exporter (was adding two extra rows/columns of data, instead of one).
  * Fixed unoptimised north/east edges of mesh exports in [[bundywiki>plugins:calc:atMeshDecimator|atMeshDecimator]] ([[bundynews>l3dt:2011:aug:22|see announcement]].)
==== Sapphire ====

  * Fix brush size stepping in Sapphire ([[http://www.bundysoft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2143&p=9003#p9003|see request]].)

===== Other changes =====

==== Bug fixes ====

  * Fixed core count calculation in L3DT startup to ensure thread count is equal to or less than the core count. 
  * Added 'View.HalftoneFlag' to local settings, to allow users to disable halftone blending when drivers are bung. 
  * Changed global app memory accounting to use a lock to prevent race conditions in multithreaded calcs.
  * Fixed atAttribBrush tool to gracefully handle invalid climates ([[http://www.bundysoft.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2159|see bug report]].)
  * Fixed view to properly cancel brush mode and close edit records after brush tool application fails. 
  * Fixed [[bundywiki>plugins:general:atViewShowMapDlg|atViewShowMapDlg]] plugin to properly create the window. 

==== User interface ====

  * Added 3D anaglyph rendering to Azurite mesh viewer.
  * Added radius spin control to attributes map brush.

==== Plugins ====

  * Updated [[bundywiki>plugins:fileio:L3DTio_BigBitmap|L3DTio_BigBitmap]] to log more descriptive errors when attempting to load compressed bitmaps.
  * Added [[bundywiki>plugins:general:zlibwrap|ZlibWrap]] plugin, for zlib compression/decompression.
