Version 1.3.1

What's New

This release is a bug fix release. Highlights of this release are:

• Color channel values now retain their full 8-bit precision (#47, #61).
• Palette editor was updated to handle 8-bit precision (#306).
• The savetime parameter functionality for automatic saves during long rendering has been restored (#43).
• The delay value is properly displayed for the ant automaton (#287).
• Fractals using the log function now render properly (#295 and others).
• Discussions of integer math computations were removed from the documentation (#303)

Consult the change log in the help file or the list of issues closed for milestone 1.3 for a detailed list of changes.

Limitations and Reporting Problems

While every effort has been made to ensure that this release is free of problems, using both automated and manual testing, if you encounter a problem, please open an issue on github.

There are some known bugs, mostly with respect to different renderings of Fractal of the Day images. The documentation lists known limitations of this release.

The release plan outlines in broad strokes the direction of future development.

Dependencies

The Setup program should apply the necessary Visual C++ runtime if it is not installed on your system. If you encounter this problem and used the Setup program, please file an issue on that; the Setup program should have taken care of the dependency automatically but it is difficult for us to test this since we already have the dependency installed.

The standalone ZIP and MSI packages assume the runtime is already installed on your machine.

If you get an error message about missing the following files:

• MSVCP140.dll
• VCRUNTIME140.dll
• VCRUNTIME140_1.dll

It means you don't have the Visual C++ runtime files installed on your machine. You can install them from here:

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

Make sure you install the x64 (64-bit) version.

Version 1.2

Version 1.2

Version 1.2 is mostly a code cleanup release that removes integer fractal types and replaces them exclusively with floating-point types. This change was made to simplify the existing code paths in preparation for migration to wxWidgets in version 2.0.

New Features in Version 1.2

• Native Windows file browse dialog for opening files.
• Improved version handling with the reset parameter.
• Improved version handling when reading GIF files.
• Improved version handling when writing GIF files.
• Improved rendering of mathematics in the HTML help.

Version 1.1.1

This release is a hotfix release for Version 1.1.0 that corrects a problem in the online help. (Issue #245.)

See the Version 1.1.0 release notes for other details.

Version 1.1.0

Version 1.1

This release is our first incremental update to 1.0. The main areas of improvement are:

• An implementation of the perturbation algorithm to accelerate deep zooms for type=mandel and type=burning-ship fractals by @PaulTheLionHeart
• Addition of type=burning-ship fractal by @PaulTheLionHeart
• Restoration of mouse support for the color palette editor, Julia inverse iteration method, the orbits window and last but not least the zoom box.
• Quality of life improvements for disk video and running multiple copies of Id to assist in generation of animations.
• Inline images for most fractal types added to the HTML documentation.

The release is available either as a Windows Installer MSI file or a plain ZIP.

A full rundown of all the changes can be seen in the online documentation, a copy of which is included in the distribution.
