19 Jan 09 [MHC] More Cam Export stuff. Now works with more aspect ratios. Added the following exports to the 'begin' template:
[1h]			{fov},{aspect},{width} {height} [Width and Height being the size of the OpenGL viewport, aspect their proprotion and fov=29*aspect (pretty close for SunFlow export)]

18 Jan 09 [MHC] Added Camera Export. Now in the 'begin' template, it is possible to do stuff like:
[5h]			   eye    {CamPosX} {CamPosY} {CamPosZ}
				   target {CamTargetX} {CamTargetY} {CamTargetZ}
				   up     {CamUpX} {CamUpY} {CamUpZ}
				   fov    29
				When resizing OpenGL window, width/height/a.r. is shown.

[4h]

18 Nov 08 [MHC] Fixed a bug when going into full screen mode (not all chrome was hidden).
[1h]

17 Nov 08 [MHC] Tried to find out why I could not run in Release mode without crashing on Windows anymore.
[1h]            Turns out, that QtScriptd4.dll works just fine, but my QtScript4.dll does not, and crashes when called into. This is weird.
                Well, I tried linking to another set of DLL found here (http://pallas.copai.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49&Itemid=58), and these works too.
                Weirdness. Well, recompiling the entire Qt just takes too long, so I will not test this.
                
16 Nov 08 [MHC] Started added stub code for the JavaScript controller interface. 
[2h]            This will make it possible to use JavaScript (using Qt's embedded JavaScript interpreter) to make e.g. animations.

[2h]c          Corrected a small bug in the syntax-highlightning
                Implemented Template Render to File:
                -> Notice: a small bug: it saves files with \d\d\a carriage returns (instead of \d\a). Don't know why yet
                Added 'Auto Increment' check box, for whether the seed should auto increment (makes this a bit more logic to use)

                -> Now it possible to specify a class signifier for a primitive object:
                -> For instance 'box::metal'.
                -> The OpenGL will just ignore this, but the Template Renderers
                -> will try to find a substitution of the type:
                -> <substitution name="box" type="metal">

[0.5h]c

30 Mar 08 [MHC] Web site updates (build instruction for Vista and Mac Os X)

17 Mar 08 [MHC] Long development break (lots of work and a Japan visit)  
[4h]c           I've got a new laptop, so I updated to Windows Vista and Visual Studio Express 2008. This means the VS solution files will no longer work for VS 2005!
                I managed to get Structure Synth compiled on Mac OS X (10.4.7 with XCode 2.5) and Qt 4.3.4 Open Source. Build instruction will be added to the SourceForge web site shortly.
