There are no new features with this release. Instead I&rsquo;ve improved the error reporting to clearly describe problems (in version 1.0.1 the error messages were rather obscure):<br /><br />- If your Mac doesn&rsquo;t support everything required by Ephemeral you will see an orange screen with a message that describes the incompatibility.<br />- If any other error occurs then you will see a red screen with a message stating the nature of the problem, along with an invitation to send an error report. This is now as easy as clicking on a &ldquo;Send Error Report&rdquo; link in Ephemeral&rsquo;s configuration options.<br /><br /><strong>NOTE: </strong>At present it appears that the drivers for all ATI Radeon GPUs (including those in brand new iMacs) do NOT allow OpenCL to access OpenGL images, and therefore Ephemeral can&rsquo;t run with these GPUs. Until Apple or ATI release updated drivers there is nothing I can do to get around this problem.<br /><br />The new version of Ephemeral is available from <a href="http://www.muryan.com/ephemeral/index.html" rel="self">here</a>.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Ephemeral 1.0.1 Released</title><dc:creator>support@muryan.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2009-12-19T13:23:40+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.muryan.com/files/23a7d4783cde95f785a3d80e36b49c8e-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.muryan.com/files/23a7d4783cde95f785a3d80e36b49c8e-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Ephemeral is my new screen saver for OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that draws animated IFS fractals, giving an ever-changing display of complex, natural shapes. It uses OpenCL (a new feature of OS X introduced with Snow Leopard) to harness the power of your GPU to efficiently perform the IFS calculations. And as usual, it&rsquo;s free!<br /><br />Download Ephemeral <a href="http://www.muryan.com/ephemeral/index.html" rel="self">here</a>. There are also some screenshots to give you an idea of what Ephemeral looks like.<br /><br />(Has it really been a year since my last update? I&rsquo;ll have to try harder next year!)]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Reversi 1.1.0 Released</title><dc:creator>support@muryan.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2008-12-30T12:00:51+11:00</dc:date><link>http://www.muryan.com/files/6437cfe5f5d4f34cd538370b1daaac58-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.muryan.com/files/6437cfe5f5d4f34cd538370b1daaac58-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[An updated version of my Reversi game is now available. The changes in this version are:<br /><br />- Added a menu item to immediately start a new game with unchanged settings.<br />- The position of the board (spin and tilt) can be locked in place.<br />- The spin and tilt settings are now saved between sessions, so you can position the board how you like it, and it will stay that way.<br />- Added a preference for faster piece flipping animation.<br />- The board is drawn larger to better fill the window.<br /><br />Download the new version of Reversi <a href="http://www.muryan.com/reversi/index.html" rel="self">here</a>.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Reversi 1.0.0 Released</title><dc:creator>support@muryan.com</dc:creator><category>None</category><dc:date>2008-09-06T19:37:52+10:00</dc:date><link>http://www.muryan.com/files/a4188bb342a6646f1dfa11b2acbfe475-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.muryan.com/files/a4188bb342a6646f1dfa11b2acbfe475-4.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[My next game for OS X is now available. Reversi is a fully 3D rendered version of the classic board game. The AI is strong (with five skill levels) and it plays quickly. Or if you prefer, you can play against a friend. Reversi requires OS X 10.3.9 or later, and works on both Intel and PowerPC Macs. And it&rsquo;s free!
