Nothing new since 2009/Apr. Maybe we've lost him.
Nope. My time has been sprinkled around other projects, such as my Computer Graphics Museum, and I continue to do some design and research work on id that hasn't resulted in checkins to the repository for a while.
He wrote something about people here being interested in maintaining a DOS program.
Tim and Jonathan have expressed their interest in maintaining the existing DOS-based fractint. They have an X Window System port, xfractint, and a 16/32-bit MS Windows port, winfract, as well. I seem to recall that chunks of fractint are turned off in these ports, but it's been a few years since I was working on the code. I contributed to their source repository the source code that is used to build what I called "FractInt for Windows beta 5" as described in this blog post: <http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/2007/04/13/fractint-for-windows-beta-5/> They are free to take the beta 5 code and enhance/extend/improve it. Some time after that, we disagreed on the future direction for the code base, so in the tradition of open source projects, I forked the code and created the Iterated Dynamics project. I don't discuss id on this mailing list because I consider that impolite. There is a discussion area on the id project site: <https://iteratedynamics.codeplex.com/discussions> -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book <http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline> The Computer Graphics Museum <http://ComputerGraphicsMuseum.org> The Terminals Wiki <http://terminals.classiccmp.org> Legalize Adulthood!
