Changelog:
- A new higher quality (and much slower) palette generator for ham6, 16 and 32-color ocs modes. It uses multiple iterations to make palette more diverse and eliminate colors that are too similar. It was designed mainly with ham6 in mind but can be used in other modes. Possible modes: 0 (legacy), 1 (safest) – 5 (most aggressive). Mode 0 is a fast single-iteration mode present in previous versions that is better suited for slower computers. Multi-iteration modes: 1-safest that doesn’t look great but always gives acceptable results with no side-effects. Other modes eliminate some very similar colors from a bigger palette to make palette more diverse and make room for colors of smaller details that wouldn’t normally appear in the palette. Mode 5 is the most aggressive and should be used with caution because it eliminates more colors than other mores and it can make the resulting picture look unnatural.
- EHB palette generator: fixed a few minor bugs.
