History of Catagolue
The following is an overview of the history of Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.
2015
- February 20: Catagolue becomes operative.[1]
- April 24: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of one trillion objects.[2]
- September 2: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of ten trillion objects.
- September 16: the pony express, the first natural infinite-growth pattern other than the block-laying switch engine and glider-producing switch engine is found in a soup.[3] After being initially rejected by Catagolue, the containing haul is recomputed and manually committed on September 28.[4]
- September 24: Catagolue supports the generation of backups, including daily backups for the C1 symmetry of Conway's Game of Life.[5]
- October 5: the first instance of Phoenix 1, the last remaining unseen 12-bit object, is found.[6]
- October 21: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of twenty trillion objects.[7]
- October 27: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of one trillion soups.[8]
2016
- January 25: Aidan F. Pierce releases a hacked version of apgsearch v0.54 which can search isotropic non-totalistic Life-like cellular automata rules and upload the results to Catagolue.[9]
- February 20: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 50 trillion objects exactly one year after Catagolue was launched.[10]
- June 20: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 100 trillion objects.[11]
- July 5: a new period-16 oscillator, Rich's p16, is discovered in the ash of a D2_+1 soup.[12]
- July 6: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 5 trillion soups.[13]
- August 12: a 56-bit still life, the cloverleaf interchange, is found in the B3/S23/C1 census, making it the largest still life to appear naturally.[14]
- August 22: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 100,000 distinct objects.[15]
- September 4: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 150 trillion objects.[16]
- September 20: D2_+2 becomes the first B3/S23 symmetry other than C1 to reach 1 trillion objects.
2017
- January 13: Catagolue starts collecting slow salvo data using the SS pseudo-symmetry.
- March 15: B38/S23/C1 (Pedestrian Life) becomes the first rule/symmetry other than B3/S23/C1 to reach 10 trillion objects.
- May 16: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 200 trillion objects.[17]
- August 19: Catagolue gains the ability to census Generations and B0 rules, fed by apgsearch 4.0.[18][19]
- August 21: Catagolue gains the ability to census Larger than Life rules, fed by apgsearch 4.1.[20][21]
- September 10: Catagolue gains official support for isotropic non-totalistic rules, fed by apgsearch 4.2.[22][23] Previously, these rules required a hacked version of the original apgsearch Golly script.
2018
- June 3: Catagolue gains the ability to census Generations variants of Larger than Life and isotropic non-totalistic rules, fed by apgsearch 4.3.[24][25][26]
- October 28: Catagolue starts collecting data on long-lived patterns, fed by apgsearch 4.54.[27][28]
- October 29: Catagolue gains the ability to census BSFKL rules, fed by apgsearch 4.56.[29][30]
- November 7: Catagolue gains the ability to census higher-range totalistic Life-like cellular automata, fed by apgsearch 4.63.[31][32]
- November 29: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 250 trillion objects.[33]
- December 1: Catagolue gains the ability to census isotropic hexagonal neighborhood rules, fed by apgsearch 4.66; only C1, 1x256, 2x128, 4x64 and 8x32 were initially supported, not higher symmetries, as these were incompatible with the hexagonal neighbourhood.[34][35] Later, support for all hexagonal symmetries except for C3_3 and D6_3 was added.[36][37][38][39]
- December 11: the first instance of the heptapole, the last remaining unseen 13-bit object, is found.[40]
- December 11: Catagolue starts collecting data on diehards, fed by apgsearch 4.69.[41][42]
- December 12: Catagolue supports gzip compression of certain tabulations.[43]
- December 26: The source code for Catagolue is released under an MIT licence.[44]
2019
- January 3: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 300 trillion objects.[45]
- January 9: Catagolue gains the ability to census Golly rule tables and rule trees, fed by apgsearch 4.8.[46]
- January 15: Catagolue gains native support for Deficient and Extended Generations rules, fed by apgsearch 4.83.[47]
- February 12: a Schick engine first appears naturally in an asymmetric soup.[48]
- March 3: a figure eight on pentadecathlon first appears in an asymmetric soup,[49] making it the highest period oscillator to have occurred naturally.[50]
- March 24: Catagolue starts collecting data on soups with large final populations, fed by apgsearch 5.03.[51][52]
- March 27: the first instance of long4 melusine, the last remaining unseen 14-bit still life, is found.[53]

- April 12: Catagolue starts collecting data about glider syntheses from Shinjuku.[56][57]
- April 14: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 400 trillion objects.[58][59]
- May 1: the glider synthesis submission box is added, allowing users to submit syntheses which are automatically parsed during the Catagolue update process.[60][61]
- May 12: a GPU-powered apgsearch instance finds a natural sidecar in an asymmetric 16×16 soup.[62]
- September 9: the 17-in-17 glider synthesis project is completed, using Catagolue's synthesis tabulations for bookkeeping.[63]
- October 9: the 18-bit still life synthesis project is completed, using Catagolue's synthesis tabulations for bookkeeping.[64]

- February 9: Rob's p16 appears in the B3/S23/G1 census, marking Catagolue's first discovery of a new oscillator rotor from asymmetric soup as well as the first period 16 oscillator arising from asymmetry.[68][69]
- February 11: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 600 trillion objects.[70]
- April 1: a natural loafer emerges from a soup in the B3/S23/C1 census submitted by John Goodman.[71]
- April 2: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 700 trillion objects.[72][73]
- April 8: the asymmetric-soups census is created, combining the results from B3/S23/C1 and B3/S23/G1.[74][75]
- May 4: B3/S23/G1 overtakes B3/S23/C1 in terms of the number of soups investigated.[76]
- June 16: the B3/S23/C1 census reaches a total of 800 trillion objects.[77]
gollark: Yes, I too want a camera and computationally expensive computer vision stuff.
gollark: Alternatively, just make the UI better and have four direction buttons, "enter" and "back".
gollark: You'd just strap it to your arm or something.
gollark: No, the keyboard would be full-sized.
gollark: And trackpad.
