      (please try example settings files "rotated Mandelbox... .fract")
- improved coloring algorithm for Mandelbox formula (additional parameters)
- added zoom out by right mouse button
- needless buttons and edit fields are dinamically disabled
- fixed bug: removed "record keyframe" button form animation tab, which caused program crash
- fixed bug: adding new keyframs during timeline initializadion causes program crash - now it's blocked during timeline initialization

Think of it as an exploration.  There is no need to be jealous of others' explorations.  Explore to your hearts desire and ignore all others'.

Awesome work Buddhi.  It seems like just as bib's "Rotated negative Mandelbox" video showed up, I was thinking "gee, that'd be a nice feature to have in Mandelbulber..." and then Bang! There it is!.  You are literally pumping out new versions faster than I can render things with the old versions :D

I'm still having a few crashes and bailouts in both Windows and Linux (32bit).  Usually when playing around with the timeline.  One had a nice GTK error with a stack trace, but I was too keen to keep playing.  Next time I capture one in the wild I'll note the details.  Anyway, Krzysztof you rock!  Loving the new rotation options.
