Update 2022-05-03 to SDL version

Folks, An updated version of SDL Fractint has been uploaded to www.fractint.net. Fixes include: Fixed palette editor font. Fixed prompt/tab screen borders when a fractal type or formula has no parameters. Enabled orbits window. Fixed sound routines so emulation of PC speaker works and turns off when sound=no is used. Fixed functionality of orbitsave=yes/no/sound so that it will now turn off when orbitsave=no is used at the command prompt screen <G>. Note that I did not get the PC speaker emulation to reproduce the screech that you get in the DOS version when the orbit delay is too short. The sound skips, instead. The click due to the square wave cutting off when the note is ended is faithfully reproduced. The Advanced Sound Control features are not implemented. Look in the directory at: https://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ For: Windows version (32-bit) is: SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2022-05-03.tar.xz Jonathan

"Out of the frying pan and into the fire"; Albrecht has evoked the "frying pan":

I suspect that many Fractint patrons have run across the phrase, "Out of the frying pan and into the fire." Enclosed is a link to the "frying pan". Albrecht's gold frying pan seems to be cooking a small, uniquely shaped, blue "omelet". He says that the series of zooms into his image, 'Tempest" will follow later. The "small, blue omelet in its frying pan" (1280 x 1024) image, which Albrecht notes is "not the original !": https://bit.ly/50205F07-GIF The PAR file -- including Albrecht's multifractal_12 formula: https://bit.ly/50205F07-PAR - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ########################

Thank you, Jonathan. Hal, you have read it. He can only guess. Sry I had waited for something definite. But : I get stable and predictable results and I collect new informations. I think that´s enough to go on, like in the early stages of my multifractal experiments. Only one thing must be clear : What I call "fog" is N O T a lack of precision. Just the opposite: The new "Hybrid Fractales" have the same same precision and deep zooming power like my other multifractal creations. Agreed? Albrecht
