    * Fixed flipped texture on the right hand side of stair blocks
    * Added atmospheric effects
    * Save canvas size when using the Halve and Double buttons
    * Made renderer more robust in the handling of transparent textures

1.0.8 release from the 1.0 series released

Release information
Release notes:

The error handling for many types of errors and crashes was improved. A new error dialog is displayed if an unexpected error should occur during rendering. Log files are no longer used to store the error messages in.

Chunky now loads the sun texture from the current texture pack, and uses that texture to render the sun.

World loading was also improved. Chunky now only searches for the visible chunks, rather than attempting to search through the entire world for all available chunks. This can improve the loading times significantly for large maps.

Chunky now saves settings in a file named settings.cfg. Chunky stores some things such as last world loaded and last texture pack used in the settings file and attempts to load the same world again, using the same texture pack as last time.
...

Changelog:

    * Fixed error causing submerged objects to be too well lit by sunlight
    * When loading a scene the saved gamma setting is used to
      display the saved render dump
    * Fixed error causing all objects to receive too little light at low
      incident angles
    * Fixed lava rendering error
    * X/Z coordinates now update when clicking in the minimap
    * A smaller buffer is used to cache the map view. This improves map
      view responsiveness at large zoom values.
    * Some minor minimap rendering issues were fixed
    * Chunky now saves a file (settings.cfg) with user preferences
    * Selected chunks are now also highlighted in the minimap
    * Changed orientation of map view so that north is up
    * Display player and spawn position in minimap
    * Chunky remembers the last loaded world and will attempt to load the
      same world next time it starts
    * Chunky remembers the last used texture pack
    * Chunky remembers the last used canvas size
    * Made render status text field non-editable
    * Pressing Ctrl while dragging a selection rectangle causes the chunks
      within the rectangle to be deselected
    * Added zoom level 0 (same as minimap) to 2d map view
    * Removed buttons to select all chunks and invert selection (this will
      no longer be supported since future versions of Chunky will avoid
      scanning all chunks in the map - it takes too long time!)
    * Fixed rare bug that caused preview rendering to hang
    * Fixed crash due to corrupt metadata in pumpkin blocks
    * Fixed incorrect top/bottom texture for melon blocks
    * Chunky now loads large maps much faster
    * Added Reload button under the minimap which reloads the current world
    * Added button to load default Minecraft texture pack in the Options tab
    * Chunky falls back on minecraft.jar to provide texture files missing in
      loaded texture packs
    * Chunky remembers the last skymap used
    * Chunky uses the sun texture from the current texture pack to draw the sun
    * Fixed rare bug when rendering iron bars or glass panes with certain
      textures that caused the renderer to hang

1.0.6 release from the 1.0 series released

Release information
Release notes:

A bug that caused "dead pixels" was fixed in this version.

This release also includes a more correct gamma model. Textures are decoded from sRGB to a linear color space for rendering. The output colors are now more perceptually correct when using gamma correction.

The user interface has been altered and now uses the system look and feel. This makes Chunky look more native.

Changelog:

    * Implemented proper gamma correction (textures are decoded from
      sRGB to a linear color space for rendering, then encode back to sRGB
      using gamma correction)
    * Use the system look and feel. Makes Chunky look more native.
    * Fixed corrupt normal causing "dead pixels" - bug in rendering code for
      falling water
    * Pressing enter when editing either canvas width or height will instantly
      update the canvas size
    * Changing the scene name field now directly updates the scene name,
      without requiring the scene to be manually saved
    * The default scene name is now the same as the current world's name
    * Added water height option to Render tab which affects the water generated
      in "Water World" mode
    * Added a slider for sun intensity under the Sun tab in the Render Controls
      dialog

1.0.5 release from the 1.0 series released

Release information
Release notes:

This release contains bugfixes, user interface improvements and improved sun and sky rendering.

The render dumps are now compressed to save disk space. Render dumps from versions 1.0.4 and previous can NOT be loaded in this version of Chunky.

This version includes a physically based skylight model which is used if no skymap has been loaded.

The new "Water World" mode was also added. If this option is selected in the Render tab in the main Chunky window, the chunks are loaded into an endless ocean. This mode must be selected before the 3D view is opened, even when loading a saved scene.

Changelog:

    * Render dumps are now compressed. NB: render dumps saved with
      version 1.0.4 or earlier can no longer be loaded!
    * Show message in 3D view that warns when no chunks have been loaded
    * Changed default 2D zoom level to 4
    * Fixed rendering error in preview rendering mode when the camera was
      inside a block
    * Don't include paused time in total rendering time
    * Display camera coordinates in preview renders
    * Added sun specular reflection (sun glare)
    * Allow DoF and Focal Offset to be set to values greater than their maximum
      slider stops
    * Use flat shading in preview render
    * Added Water World Mode option in the Render tab
    * Fixed lily pad rendering with incorrect color and removed offset from
      the water surface
    * Added coordinate fields to View tab that can be used to move
      the 2D map view
    * Made skymap orientation adjustable with a new slider in the Sky tab
    * Added "clear water" option to disable the water fog effect in
      the General tab of the Render Controls dialog
    * Render sky color using a physically based skylight model if no skymap
      has been loaded (this replaces the previous default skymap)

1.0.4 release from the 1.0 series released

Release information
Release notes:

Several new blocks have been implemented in the renderer, and the rendering of chests has been improved to match how they are rendered in Minecraft more closely.

The texture pack support has been extended. Chest textures are now loaded from their individual texture files, rather than using the obsolete terrain.png tiles.

A normal map is now used for rendering the water - making water look far more realistic!

Changelog:

    * Removed tearing artifacts when changing render parameters
    * Fit octree to loaded chunks - improves render performance and
      allows loading an arbitrary number of chunks
    * Fixed error in octree initialization
    * The preview window no longer renders completely transparent
      surfaces as black
    * Full texture pack support (Chunky loads chest textures from their own
      texture rather than using the obsolete terrain.png tiles)

    * Fixed bug that caused render threads to keep rendering after the
      Render Controls dialog had been closed
    * Added Autofocus function in the Camera tab of the Render Controls dialog

      huge mushrooms (brown & red), mycelium, end portal frame, emerald
      block, emerald ore and nether wart
    * Postprocessing effects are now turned off by default, but can be enabled
      using a check box in the General tab of the Render Controls dialog
    * Crosshairs are now rendered in the 3D view in preview mode
    * Some debug info is shown in the 3D view in preview mode
    * Added buttons to halve and double canvas size
    * Hide the HALT button when it is not needed
    * Changed layout of Camera tab

This release adds several new features including new rendering options and a way to pause the rendering process.

This release fixes an issue that caused chunks far away from spawn to not be renderable.

Diagnostic messages are logged in the renderer.log file if a rendering thread should crash.

    * Fixed some minor interface issues
    * Added an "Advanced" tab in the Render Controls dialog
    * Added a ray depth option in the Advanced tab
