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.

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.
