v0.15.5

• Fix a crash when resuming ELiDE in the past of a simulation
• Fix rules sometimes not triggering, based on when the trigger was set

v0.15.4

• Fix time travel via rule stepper
• Restore the ability to delete Characters
• Even faster interbranch time travel
• Fix a crash when time traveling between times with no changes to the world

v0.15.3

More crash fixes, that's all.

v0.15.2

• Crash fixes involving time travel
• Speed up interbranch time travel somewhat
• Switch to ruff formatter

v0.15.1

This is a bugfix release. There was a lock missing from one of the caches, so I added it.

ELiDE is unchanged, and therefore still named 0.15.0.

v0.15.0

• Automatically unload history, thus minimizing memory usage for long games
  By default, this happens whenever you commit changes to the database.
• Improved support for ELiDE widgets in games
  • New example sim, awareness.py, to demonstrate this
• Moved game_start into its own module
• Dropped support for Python 3.7 and the lz4 module
• A lot of fixes regarding thread safety and interprocess sync

v0.14.2

Bugfix release; loader didn't work

v0.14.1

Fix a bug that caused spans of time to be marked as loaded that weren't.

v0.14.0

• Seek bar for time travel in ELiDE, and some other minor UI improvements
• Vastly improved performance in ELiDE for large worlds
• History queries no longer require the whole of history to be loaded, and are faster
  • SQLAlchemy is now a hard dependency
  • numpy is required again
• Save the state of the randomizer every time you use it, not just on time travel
• Rule stepper now works when you reopen the sim
• New example sim, wolfsheep.py
• enforce_end_of_time option, so it's not so trivial to make voids of time by accident
• Lots of crash fixes
• yapf formatting, with tabs
• Improved documentation

v0.13.2

This is a bugfix release. The main bug was in the caching infrastructure, where deletions that occurred after a significant gap in the history of entity existence would not be recorded correctly.

There are some performance improvements as well, particularly in ELiDE, where it's now possible to run a sim for longer than twenty turns without ELiDE stuttering to a halt.
