Folks, Fixed creation of parameter entries (using <b>) that randomly failed. Fixed fractal type menu items that did not return to the currently selected fractal. Changed Arbitrary Precision Math C code to use 32/64 bit routines instead of 16/32 bit routines. Look in the directory: https://www.fractint.org/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2020-02-09.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2020-02-09.tar.xz Jonathan

The archive links for the fractint list are working, but the list archives appear not to be updating. I have asked support about this. While I don't think the low traffic is the problem, we might be advised to post a few more messages in case there's some threshold before newer messages get archived. Tim

New SDL Fractint version from Jonathan
by Timothy Wegner 30 Dec '20

30 Dec '20

Jonathan fixed some bugs in his SDL version of Fractint. This is a literal port of the DOS version, but runs directly under Windows. I briefly tested it under the latest Windows 10, and it ran like greased lightning compared to the DOS version running under DOSBox. Here's what Jonathan said about it: >> I fixed the video resolution change crash and updated the files on fractint.net. There is still an issue when you use the mouse to create a zoom box while the image is still generating. For the most part, everything works. There is a list of issues in the New Features section of help. >> Just unzip the directory SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2020-12-26 someplace on your Windows machine, browse to it with Explorer, and run fractint.exe https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2020-12-26.z… Since the list is quiet these days, probably OK to post feedback, tips, and experiences here.

About fractals in ManpWIN, someone may find strange its peculiar avocado-green color. ?Control + P? can change this, permanently, to Fractint`s `DEFAULT` color. Other Fractint`s color are also available. This avocado-green is interesting for the shadows that appear in the tri-dimensional `Perturbation` or `Slope` fractals.
