# WorldEditAdditions Changelog
It's about time I started a changelog! This will serve from now on as the main changelog for WorldEditAdditions.


## v1.11 (unreleased)
 - `//count`: Make numbers human-readable
     - Tip: Use a monospace font for the chat window, and the columns will be aligned!
 - Add `//hollow` for hollowing out areas (a step towards parity with Minecraft WorldEdit)
 - `//subdivide`: Improve performance of initial chunk counting algorithm - it should get started on the job _much_ quicker now (especially on large regions)
 - `//subdivide`: Fix a bug where the entire defined region was emerged all at once instead of in chunks
 - `//subdivide`: Fix performance & memory usage of metrics over time on large regions
     - No more slowdowns over time with a large number of chunks!
 - Bugfix: Fix obscure crash in calls to `human_size` ("unknown" will now be returned if passed junk)


## v1.10 (16th January 2021)
 - `//maze`: Fix some parts of generated mazes staying solid
 - `//maze`, `//maze3d`: Allow non-number seeds (existing seeds aren't affected - they will still produce identical output)
 - `//many`: Improve format of progress messages, add ETA
 - `//subdivide`: Make asynchronous, and use `minetest.emerge_area()` to ensure areas are loaded before executing on a subdivision chunk
     - This will ensure that `//subdivide`ing enormous regions should now function as expected. Want to level an entire rainforest with `//subdivide` and `//clearcut`? Now you can! :D
 - Add `//line` for drawing simple lines


## v1.9: The Nature Update (20th September 2020)
 - Add `//many` for executing a command many times in a row
 - Add **experimental** `//erode` command
 - Add `//fillcaves` command - fills in all air nodes beneath non air-nodes
 - Add `//forest` command for quickly generating forests, and `//saplingaliases` to compliment it
 - Add `//ellipsoidapply`: Like `//cubeapply`, but clips the result to an ellipsoid that is the size of the defined region.
 - Fix some minor bugs and edge cases
 - `//subdivide`: Print status update when completing the last chunk
 - `//count`: Optimise by removing nested `for` loops


## v1.8: The Quality of Life Update (17th July 2020)
 - Update `//multi` to display human readable times (e.g. `2.11mins` instead of `126600ms`)
 - Far wand: Notify player when setting pos1 and pos2
 - Make timings more accurate (use `minetest.get_us_time()` instead of `os.clock()`)
 - Add _experimental_ `//subdivide` command
 - Attempt to fix a crash on startup due to a dependency issue (#21)


## v1.7: The Terrain Update! (21st June 2020)
 - Added `//layers` (like WorldEdit for Minecraft's `//naturalize`)
 - Added `//convolve` (advanced terrain smoothing inspired by image editors)
 - Added far wand (like the regular WorldEdit wand, but with a configurable range that can extend to 100s of blocks)
