SiandClaude Opus 5.5
c069de3566
An E split into its colour channels, with two slices slipped sideways, replaces the generic applications-graphics icon in the desktop entry and About Effector, with a one-colour symbolic version for panels. Both are installed into the hicolor theme; a build run straight from the build tree falls back to the copy in the sources. The version moves to 0.5.3.

# Changelog
|
|
|
|
Every release of Effector, newest first. The version lives in one place, the
|
|
`project()` line of `CMakeLists.txt`, and each release is a `vX.Y.Z` tag on the
|
|
commit that made it. The interface shows this file under Changelog in its menu.
|
|
|
|
## [0.5.3] - 2026-09-26
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- Effector has its own icon, an E split into its colour channels, in the app
|
|
menu, the dock and About Effector; a one-colour version goes with it for
|
|
panels.
|
|
|
|
## [0.5.2] - 2026-09-26
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
- Effector is free software under the GNU General Public License, version 3
|
|
or later; the `LICENSE` file holds the text, and About Effector says so.
|
|
|
|
## [0.5.1] - 2026-09-26
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- An Arch Linux `PKGBUILD` in `packaging/arch`: `makepkg -si` there builds and
|
|
installs the tagged release with pacman.
|
|
- A desktop entry, so an installed Effector shows up in the app menu.
|
|
|
|
## [0.5.0] - 2026-09-26
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- A version number: `effector --version` prints it, and About Effector in the
|
|
menu shows it.
|
|
- This changelog, readable from the interface under Changelog in the menu.
|
|
- Open Recent in the project menu, listing the projects opened or saved here.
|
|
- An optional shadow or glow under the image overlay, with an offset, size,
|
|
spread, colour and opacity.
|
|
- Reordering the chain by dragging a row.
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
- The params' scrollbar no longer covers the spin buttons.
|
|
|
|
## [0.4.0] - 2026-09-23
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- Eight chaotic effects: slit shift, channel split, pixel sort, corruption,
|
|
shatter, warp, bit crush and feedback. None needs sources, so any of them can
|
|
lead a chain.
|
|
- The sidebar split into Chain and Setup tabs.
|
|
- A rotation for the text effect's placement.
|
|
- Text stages labelled in the chain list with their words.
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
- The preview stays centred however long the status line gets.
|
|
- The status line stays short, with the full chain and setup in its tooltip.
|
|
- The chain/params split fits the chain's rows until it is dragged; a
|
|
double-click on the handle fits it again.
|
|
- The mouse wheel scrolls past spin buttons that do not have the focus.
|
|
|
|
## [0.3.0] - 2026-09-19
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- Named styles: several text stages can share one font and colour, and editing
|
|
the style moves every stage that follows it.
|
|
- Switching a chain stage off without taking it apart, in the interface and
|
|
with `--disable NAME` on the command line.
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
- The interface opens on an empty chain, and shows the sources only when the
|
|
chain uses them.
|
|
|
|
## [0.2.0] - 2026-09-18
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- Effect chains: stages cascade, each handed the previous one's output, built in
|
|
the sidebar or with repeated `-e`.
|
|
- Blur, film grain, black and white, image overlay, text and tiles effects.
|
|
- Projects saved and opened as plain JSON.
|
|
- Standard web and print canvas formats (`--format`, `--dpi`).
|
|
- Effects declare whether they need source images, so a chain led by blur
|
|
renders with none loaded.
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
- The chain comes first in the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
- The canvas size is checked before it is narrowed to an int.
|
|
- Projects are written and read in the C locale, and keep the seed whole.
|
|
|
|
## [0.1.0] - 2026-09-18
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- The C++20 port of the Python prototype: a GTK 4 interface and a headless
|
|
command line over pluggable effects, starting with scanlines.
|
|
- Source images load in the background, with a progress window and Cancel.
