v0.0.7 (2009.10.30):
- You can 'palette color pick' colors from the color picker.
- BUGFIX: When 'palette color picking' for the selected color from palette, the
color editor groupbox doesn't change to the picked color. Fixed.
- Color picker colors are now saved as system state.
v0.0.6 (2009.10.29):
- File/Save and File/Open works.
- "Delete frame" and "Add frame" makes the image unsaved.
- When opening a file "Save" (Ctrl+S) saves it back without asking filename.
v0.0.5 (2009.10.24):

- Introducing "Controls" panel.

v0.0.4 (2009.10.21):
- File menu added.
- File/New starts new picture, you can specify dimensions first.
- Picture size removed from main window.
- Zoom now a trackbar (easier to use)
- "File/Save as" works.
- File/New pops up a warning when the picture was not saved before.
v0.0.3 (2009.10.20):
- TMatorSystem introduced. Now it only contains information about current mode.
(Normal and Colorpicker this time)
- Right click on the picture draws with the first color in the colorpicker (the
one stands alone at the left).
- Right clicking on color picker sets Mator in color picker mode.
- You can color pick colors from the color picker.

v0.0.2 (2009.10.15):
- Color picker removed from the main window and window height set smaller.
Palette editor now automatically placed under the main window.
- There's a button on the palette editor to hide/show the full palette
(bottom part of the window)
- You can select any color in the palette or in the color picker and draw into
the main window using it.
- Color index is showed in the color editor.
- Palette updated when using the scrollbar on the right.
- Color picker is expanded to hold 1+14 color. (1+15 would be logical, but that
wouldn't fit the palette editor form... :) )
- Refreshing the image in the main window real time when editing color works.
- Refreshing cursor color real time when editing color works.
v0.0.1 (2009.10.14):
- TMatorColorGrid behaviour changed to be more authentic (this is the 1+7 slot
color picker component):
When placing the same palette entries on two different color slot,
both will be selected when any of them clicked.
- Palette is now showed on the palette editor form. (pbxPalette:TPaintBox)
- You can set the palette background to black/gray/white.
- Clicking on palette entries (in pbxPalette) make them selected, and set
the sliders accordingly.
- The color changes in the palette when the sliders are moved.
- The color changes in the color picker when the sliders are moved.
- When selecting a color in the palette or in the color picker the selection
shows up vice-versa. (The selected color index is now property of
MatorPicture.Palette. This class is visible for all other classes.)
Little glitch: when you press the left mouse button on a slot in the
color picker the selection in the palette area is only moves when you
release the mouse button. (You can't do anything else until you release
the mouse button so this is not a functional problem, but annoying...)
What's planned next:
- Get gradient mode.
- Save the "IsSaved" flag into the system state. (So you could close aniMATOR
and next time you open it, the image would be still unsaved until you save it
with "Save" or "Save as")
- "Delete frame" should ask if you really want to delete a frame.
- "Delete frame" should remove the current frame (not the last one)
- "Insert frame" should work.
- You should be able to 'palette color pick' colors from the image.
- Shift-clicking on the image should select the color under the cursor.
- Support bigger pictures than 64x64.
