3.6
Since there were quite a few, I've grouped them a bit. (Hopefully I don't miss any)
Major Changes:
- AMIDST is now under GPL v3
- Completely reworked the profile selector.
- Added automatic seed histories. If AMIDST detects a "history.txt" file next to it, it will write a time stamp followed by the seed for each seed you enter.
- Added smooth fragment fading. (This may be disabled in the options menu) Enabling this will cause all fragments to fade in when loaded.
- Most crashes now create a "crash dialog" containing a log that can easily be pasted.
- A licenses window has been added to the help menu. This will contain all relevant license information for AMIDST and its libraries.
- Added option to set the default world type to any of the world types or "prompt each time".
- Switching maps no longer eats up extra memory. (This will be a huge improvement in memory/processing performance when loading new maps)
- Rendering speeds have been vastly improved.
- Fixed issue where files would not be properly closed.

Minor Changes/Fixes:
- Hidden files/folders now show when opening a world from a file/folder.
- Added 1.7.4 to official version list.
- A new option is availible in the Options menu called "Show Debug Info". Enabling this will add a small panel to the map viewer containing debug information on fragments.
- Library loading now follows OS rules correctly. (This should fix a number of errors with loading)
- AMIDST now returns "4" on crashes. This will change at a later date to include various error codes.
- Mac OS X users should no longer experience the "corrupted" issue.

Command Line Support:
- Added a "-mcpath " flag for users to specify the path to their .minecraft directory.
- Added "-log " flag. Using this flag will cause AMIDST to write all log output to the specified file. AMIDST should create a file if it does not exist.
- Added "-history " to specify where AMIDST should write seed history to. If AMIDST cannot find a file at the path you've specified, it will attempt to make one.

Biome Color Profiles:
Overview: This was something that was added in 3.5, but I've improved on a bit for 3.6. Color profiles let you set what color each biome shows up as. To activate them, simply create a folder named "biome" next to AMIDST. After launching AMIDST again, a new file should appear in that folder called "default.js". It will contain the default options for a color profile. You may edit this directly, or create new color profiles within the folder (following the same design as default.js). Any subdirectories will show up as sub-menus. (There is also support for shortcuts, as mentioned in this post)
- Added support for biome nicknames. (Example: [ "Ice Plains", { "alias":"Really cold place", "r":255, "g":255, "b":255 } ] )
- Duplicate biome colors are now supported.
- default.json is not much cleaner.
- Biome profiles no longer cause an empty profile list when there's a syntax error.
- A new menu option for reloading your list of biome color profiles has been added.

3.5
- Fixed issue where some Mac OS X users would not have their window refresh.
- Fixed loading from amplified worlds.
- Fixed the map jumping around when a menu was opened.
- Selecting the default profile will now attempt to load 1.7.2.
- Adjusted the organization of some menus.
- Added 1.7.2 to official version list.
- AMIDST will now only load the libraries specified by the selected version.
- Added support for biome color profiles. An explanation of this will later be added to the wiki. Until then, please use check the latest forums posts or ask around.
- Basic wiki page added to BitBucket here.
- Mac OS X version now launches with extra memory.

3.4
- Added support for 13w39a/b
- AMIDST now loads all libraries contained in the .minecraft/libraries folder.
- Greatly reduced the file size for AMIDST.

3.3
- Increased performance for filling in image data.
- Slightly reduce memory usage for structure generation.
- Added official support for 13w37b.
- Reduced memory usage from grid layer.
- Increased performance for drawing biome layer.
- Added FPS counter.
- Improved detection of multiplayer maps.
- Major performance improvements for zoomed out maps.
- Added spawn location icon.
- Added option to toggle framerate panel in the menus.
- Added official support for 13w38a/1.6.4.
- (Default) now selects 1.6.4

1.5.13

• fix for crash when clicking very right or very bottom of color selector
• fix for crash when running in 1.7.10 after running in 1.8 and having a zoom level unsupported by 1.7.10 (1.7)
• automatically detect multiworld server (without the user manually specifying that it is one, though that's still possible) when switching between two worlds with the same dimension
• multiworld button will flash when attention is needed (multiworld server with the current world as yet unrecognized)
• best effort fix for player icon on worldmap not reflecting player's skin occasionally on first open, or showing as a white square for some players
• more consistent at showing newly explored areas on next opening of the worldmap
• don't save bad data (fix possible corruption of saved map region data)
• possible fix for padding error on in game waypoint text display (1.7)

1.5.12

• show server name instead of address on world map screen (fix for streamers)
• don't freak out when player presses map key while holding a movement key (that would formerly attempt to display an area very far away that was most likely blank, and possibly crash)

1.5.11

• old north setting now applies to world map as well
• old north setting remembered per world, defaults to off (for all those old pre-beta worlds before notch changed the direction of the sun. Set it once for them and it will be remembered)
• partial fix for switching into cavemode when riding a minecart on a slope (1.8). You can sometimes see the sky dim near the horizon when you are riding a cart. This is because Minecraft thinks you are underground; it's a Minecraft bug

1.5.10

• correctly display blocks worn on head when the blocks use a custom .json model (1.8) - see http://chattypics.com/files/blockModelsOnHead_iyt35w8cqx.jpg
• greatly reduce the chance of a ConcurrentModificationError when encountering a resource pack that has a badly formed .mcmeta file for a texture, ie successfully fail and don't keep trying (1.8)
• fix so worldmap is able to determine correct multiworld when first re-joining a server (1.7)

1.5.9

• improved multiworld support. VoxelMap now automatically recognizes previously visited (and labeled) worlds, as long as they haven't changed too much. If the user has stated that a server is multiworld, and a world is not recognized (either the first visit, or it has changed a lot) a message in chat will state that it is an unknown world, and remind the player to manually select the world in the multiworld screen

1.5.8

• manually select which world you are in on multiworld servers that don't communicate with the client via world_info/journeymapServer/voxelPlayer plugins. Credit to cubic72 for the selection screen
• configurable zoom levels. zoom out 4 times as far as before, if your memory can handle it
• configurable in memory region cache size. again, if memory can handle it, increasing the size of the cache makes regions less likely to unload (to reload later) as you pan around
• now cache map data on disk for singleplayer worlds too instead of creating from scratch every time from the anvil files (mostly because loading from the voxelmap disk cache is twice as fast)
• fix for crash when opening the worldmap with coloredLights mod installed

1.5.7

• performance improvement: empty regions do not count towards the region pool size. Loading an empty region will never cause a non-empty region to unload (saving having to possibly re-load it later). Empty regions also use no memory now
• teleport in Nether works much better. Tp will go to the surface the world map knows about. If no surface at that X/Z, will check above and below to find one (everywhere for SP, loaded chunks for MP). If none found, TP not allowed so you don't end up inside a wall
• player icons reflect whether the player has his hat layer turned off
• waypoint icons in icon selector sorted alphabetically

1.5.6

• loaded regions use much less memory, which means, for the same usage, you can now
• zoom out twice as far on the world map
• world map loads much faster. If you scroll faster than it can load, it skips to your current location instead of making you wait for everything to catch up. Regions that have gone off the screen before they could render because you scrolled so fast are now removed from the queue
• keyboard controls for the world map. up/right/left/down to pan, crouch/jump to zoom in/out. hold sprint key to pan faster
• bugfix for zombie villager and spider jockey helmets rendering too large

1.5.5

• add support for CustomNPCs mod
• player icon on worldmap now works when radar is turned off
• small scale skull icon fixed
• keep openGL stack consistent when attempt to automatically create an icon for an unknown mob type fails

1.5.4

• add support for Colored Lights mod
• custom mob icons can be created with a text .properties file, allowing them to use the current resource pack (and saving space over .png custom icons)
• fix for teleport to waypoint sometimes trying to teleport to the coordinates of a waypoint in a different dimension

1.5.3

• fixes for compatibility with shaders mod (roundmap stenciling, blurred text on worldmap UI)
• more consistent getting the name from multiverse servers with the requisite plugins

1.5.2

• zooming in world map much more consistent with low framerates
• handle resource packs included with saves
• handle launchers that connect the client directly to a server
• handle resource pack waypoint icons with different sizes
• waypoints created with a now missing image will show as the default instead of not at all

1.5.1

• lot of CTM and custom color map fixes, which improve support for some complex resource packs that rely on MCPatcher or Optifine

1.5.0:

• configurable waypoint icons. Add your own! Either put in the .litemod file with the rest, or create a resource pack with new icons like /assets/voxelmap/images/waypoints/waypointNAME.png
• Internally, using sprite sheets now instead of individual small images. The speed boost is actually rather minimal but it is there, particularly on busy servers with a ton of players and their names being rendered.
• Also persistent map backported to 1.7.10

• FPS boost (examples) - doubling the FPS is common - decreases lag spikes and smooths gameplay

• Support for HD Textures (info) - HD textures and HD fonts (MCPatcher not needed) - custom terrain and item textures - animated terrain and item textures - custom HD Font character widths - custom colors - custom block color palettes - custom lighting - unlimited texture size

• Dynamic Lights - allows handheld and dropped light emitting items to illuminate the objects around them. It is similar, but not related to the Dynamic Lights mod

• Variable Render Distance (example) - from Tiny to Extreme (2 x Far) in 16m steps - sun, moon and stars are visible in Tiny and Short distance

• Configurable Smooth Lighting (examples) - from 1% - smooth lighting without shadows - to 100% - smooth lighting with full shadows

• Performance: VSync Synchronizes framerate with monitor refresh rate to remove split frames and smooth gameplay

• Smart Advanced OpenGL - more efficient, less artifacts - Fast - faster, some artifacts still visible - Fancy - slower, avoids visual artifacts

• Fog control - Fog: Fancy, Fast, OFF - Fog start: Near, Far

• Mipmaps (examples) - Visual effect which makes distant objects look better by smoothing the texture details - Mipmap level - OFF, 1, 2, 3, Max - Mipmap type - Nearest, Linear

• Anisotropic Filtering (examples) - Restores details in mipmapped textures - AF level - OFF, 2, 4, 8, 16 (depends on hardware support)

• Antialiasing (examples) - Smooths jagged lines and sharp color transitions - AA level - OFF, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 (depends on hardware support)

• Better Grass Fixes grass blocks side texture to match surrounding grass terrain

• Better Snow (examples, credit) Fixes transparent blocks textures to match surrounding snow terrain

• Clear Water (examples) Clear, transparent water with good visibility underwater

• Custom Sky (info) Use custom textures for the day and night skies. Multiple layers, blending options, time configuration.

• Random Mobs Use random mob textures if available in the texture pack

• Connected Textures (examples) Connects textures for glass, glass panes, sandstone and bookshelf blocks which are next to each other.

• FPS control - Smooth FPS - stabilizes FPS by flushing the graphics driver buffers (examples) - Smooth Input - fixes stuck keys, slow input and sound lag by setting correct thread priorities

• Chunk Loading Control - Load Far - loads the world chunks at distance Far, allows fast render distance switching - Preloaded Chunks - defines an area in which no new chunks will be loaded - Chunk Updates per Frame - allows for faster world loading - Dynamic Updates - loads more chunks per frame when the player is standing still

Follow these steps to prevent a possible "Black Screen" problem when installing OptiFine:

1. Temporarily revert back to the Default Texture Pack.

2. Uninstall the HD Textures, HD Fonts, and Better Grass mods from the MCPatcher. These functions are included in OptiFine.

3. Set Graphics to Fancy

4. Install OptiFine and test with the Default Texture Pack to make sure everything is working.

5. Select your previous texture pack and graphics settings

6. Run Minecraft and enjoy
