WorldEditAdditions Changelog

It's about time I started a changelog! This will serve from now on as the main changelog for WorldEditAdditions.

Note to self: See the bottom of this file for the release template text.

v1.12: The selection tools update (unreleased)

Add //spush, //spop, and //sstack
//overlay: Don't place nodes above water
//multi: Improve resilience by handling some edge cases
Add //srect (select rectangle), //scol (select column), //scube (select cube) - thanks, @VorTechnix!
Add //scloud (select point cloud), //scentre (select centre node(s)), //srel (select relative) - thanks, @VorTechnix!
Significantly refactored backend utility functions (more to come in future updates)

Add //scale (currently experimental)
- Scale operations that scale up and down at the same time are split into 2 separate operations automatically (scaling up is always performed first)
//count: Make numbers human-readable
- Tip: Use a monospace font for the chat window, and the columns will be aligned!
Add //hollow for hollowing out areas (a step towards parity with Minecraft WorldEdit)
//subdivide: Improve performance of initial chunk counting algorithm - it should get started on the job much quicker now (especially on large regions)
//subdivide: Fix a bug where the entire defined region was emerged all at once instead of in chunks
//subdivide: Fix performance & memory usage issues
- Fix passing arguments to the command being executed
- If you encounter any other issues with it over large areas (particularly 2000x150x2000 and larger), please let me know
Bugfix: Fix obscure crash in calls to human_size ("unknown" will now be returned if passed junk)
//many can now be used with commands with no arguments.
//conv, //erode, //fillcaves: Treat liquids as air
Add new cloud wand
//conv, //erode: Minor refactoring to improve code clarity

//maze: Fix some parts of generated mazes staying solid
//maze, //maze3d: Allow non-number seeds (existing seeds aren't affected - they will still produce identical output)
//many: Improve format of progress messages, add ETA
//subdivide: Make asynchronous, and use minetest.emerge_area() to ensure areas are loaded before executing on a subdivision chunk
- This will ensure that //subdivideing enormous regions should now function as expected. Want to level an entire rainforest with //subdivide and //clearcut? Now you can! :D
Add //line for drawing simple lines

Add //many for executing a command many times in a row
Add experimental //erode command
Add //fillcaves command - fills in all air nodes beneath non air-nodes
Add //forest command for quickly generating forests, and //saplingaliases to compliment it
Add //ellipsoidapply: Like //cubeapply, but clips the result to an ellipsoid that is the size of the defined region.
Fix some minor bugs and edge cases
//subdivide: Print status update when completing the last chunk
//count: Optimise by removing nested for loops

Update //multi to display human readable times (e.g. 2.11mins instead of 126600ms)
Far wand: Notify player when setting pos1 and pos2
Make timings more accurate (use minetest.get_us_time() instead of os.clock())
Add experimental //subdivide command
Attempt to fix a crash on startup due to a dependency issue (#21)

Added //layers (like WorldEdit for Minecraft's //naturalize)
Added //convolve (advanced terrain smoothing inspired by image editors)
Added far wand (like the regular WorldEdit wand, but with a configurable range that can extend to 100s of blocks) [/list]
