This release contains new displays for 3D and 4D attractors, new iterators for Pickover Stalks and Buddhabrot fractals, and new templates for Pickover Stalks, Buddhabrot fractals, and 3D/4D attractors.

Gradient colorings may now be done by hits,
iterations, or magnitude. The y-axis has been
flipped to conform to standards. A new lyapunov
template was added. A preview image is contained
in saved XML-files. Random parameters in
attractors were added. A boundingbox for an
attractor is detected. Oversampling is done in
complex plane hit count. A first-start hint dialog
was added.

This release has new displays (buffered plane/hit count), coloring by hits, the ability edit iterator classes directly, multi-threaded randompointrenderer and parametermaprenderer, new iterators (burning ship, strange attractor, and symmetry in chaos), the ability to save/load data of single modules, thread propriety in mutithreaded renderers, the ability to save XML file info, the ability to drop BJF files into the fractal window, and a Web gallery with example fractals.

This release added the ability to load and save fractals to XML, a configurable newton iterator, fixpoint coloring, smooth gradient coloring, parameter and viewpoint selectors, a fixed panel size option, a coordinate system in the complex plane, coordinates/data under the mouse pointer, a Lyapunov iterator, symmetry in the chaos iterator, and new complex methods.

A new window menu bar. The ability to pause and continue rendering. Moving the visible area via drag and drop (middle button). A progress bar. New configurable iterators for Mandelbrot, Julia, and spider iterator. The ability to edit and delete local iterators. A new offset in gradient coloring. Saving preferences to disk, and a new preferences dialog. The iterator manager dialog has been reworked. This release can show the template source. It has an improved menu structure and localized number formatting.
