Release 0.3.0

In this release:

• Replace "partial" reduction by "linear" reduction (O(k.n))
• Add a stdutils library
• Cache the full reduction of the orthogonal lines of the search/probe alternatives
• Use memoization in the full reduction line solver (0(k.n^3))
• No limit on max_nb_alternatives at search depth zero
• Only use the probing technique at branching_depth = 0
• Handle goal grid in NON files
• Doc: Tutorial to create a picroos puzzle with the help of the Picross Solver
• CI: build on the three platforms : Linux/Macos/Windows
• CLI: Add a --progress option
• CLI: Verbose validation mode (output more stats)
• CLI: Set max-nb-solutions also in validation mode
• GUI: Fix rendering issue on large grids (switch to 32 bit draw list index in ImGui config)
• GUI: More options for tile size
• GUI: Hide tiles depending on branching depth
• GUI: "Info" button with file metadata, solver stats, and the grid constraints
• GUI: "Goal" button
• GUI: Add "faster than light" speed (minimize pauses of the solver thread)

Release 0.2.0

In this release:

• Switch code to C++17.
• Unit tests.
• Automatic building and testing on Linux with Travis.
• Performance improvements thanks to two new solving steps: "partial reduction" and "probing".
• Many additions and changes to the public API.
• CLI: New options such as --timeout and --line-solver.
• GUI: Ability to read bitmap files (in PBM format).
• GUI+CLI: Ability to read puzzles from their solution in text format.
• Support the NIN input file format.

Release v0.1.0

First release of the library, with the CLI and GUI binaries available for Windows.

Enjoy!
