- Enhancement: When disabling option "Save preset to separate file", the existing *.preset files will be deleted during the next preset save
- Added new "build-in" uniforms related to mouse state (analogous to Shadertoy's iMouse uniform):
uniform vec4 synth_Mouse; // Left mouse button
uniform vec4 synth_LMouse; // Left mouse button (same as "synth_Mouse")
uniform vec4 synth_RMouse; // Right mouse button
uniform vec4 synth_MMouse; // Middle mouse button - Multipass shaders now will have synchronized Uniform Controls (between each pass shaders)
- Bugfix: "Reset" button on Uniform Controls View now resets also "min"/"max"/"step size" value
- Bugfix: If there were tabs on Uniform Controls View then accordion component was not filling whole empty space. Probably this bug occurred only on Windows.

2015-09-19 Synthclipse 1.0.4
- Added "mipmap" Texture Uniform Control parameter, which by default is set to true. (This should also fix some Shadertoy shaders). Screenshot.
- Added "Camera.glsl"/"Camera" file to the default include directory so one could easily add camera movement to shaders simply by calling function getCamera(vec3 ro, vec3 rd)
- Added optional camera control to all Shadertoy examples
- Added preset saving improvement: If you try to save an unnamed preset you will be asked if you want to save it as "Default"
- Improved include paths resolving. Now in the project settings you can specify include paths that contain Eclipse build variables (e.g. "${ProjDirPath}", "${ProjName}", "${workspace_loc}")
2015-08-21 Synthclipse 1.0.3
- Added Keyboard Uniform Control (compatible with Shadertoy keyboard input)
- Updated Shadertoy importer to support Keyboard Uniform Control
- Timeline: Added key frames export to the GLSL (for now only linear or Catmull-Rom interpolations are supported, for all frames). Screenshot #2.
- Fixed audio player timer issue (the timer was always 2-3 seconds ahead of the true playback time). Now Shadertoy audio shaders should be better synchronized
- Fixed importing shaders directly to a project folder. Previously only importing to a sub-folder (e.g. "src") worked
- Fixed Shadertoy importer. Now URLs that ends with "#" sign are handled correctly
- Improved GLSL Sandbox importer (better handling of surfaceSize uniform)
- Direction Uniform Controls are now always normalized at startup of a shader (you don't need to define these vectors normalized anymore)
- Enabled "Target" vector spinners in the Camera View when in "Free Camera" mode
- Recording dialog now can be minimized (but since it is a modal window, the whole Synthclipse will be always minimized with the Recording Dialog). This probably works only on Windows though.
2015-07-31 Synthclipse 1.0.2
- Finally, "#ifdef SYNTHCLIPSE #include <synthclipse> #endif" declaration is NOT needed in shaders! For old projects you must fix their include paths to enable this. To do so, choose from the main menu "Synthclipse -> IDE Fixes... -> Fix include paths..." and select there all projects. For new projects this is not needed.
- Added macro "SYNTHCLIPSE_ONLY" ("#define SYNTHCLIPSE_ONLY") added to every shader before build. It allows to turn on/off some code only when run shaders in Synthclipse. (see this section for more details).

- Fixed Rotation UC spinner bug
- Timeline: Fixed double step of the next/previous frame buttons when clicking only once

- JSX API: Added missing functions getActiveAttrib(), getActiveUniform() from the WebGL 1.0 Spec
- Synthclipse distribution switched to Eclipse 4.5 (Mars)
