Welcome to Fractal Forums

I hereby announce a new release of MDZ - Mandelbrot Deep Zoom.

MDZ-0.0.9 Get the source code at http://jwm-art.net/mdz/mdz-0.0.9.tar.bz2 (http://jwm-art.net/mdz/mdz-0.0.9.tar.bz2)

_{Sorry no binary packages.}

NEW FEATURES:

* Random palette, Palette functions, colour
  cycling, and colour scaling dialogs combined into
  a single notebook dialog.

* New palette notebook dialog displays all colours
  in palette as a horizontal strip.

* Palette display is updated as palette is edited
  and/or cycled.

* Point and click sliding of colour palette with
  image update.


CHANGES:

* Removed externs.h and globals.c (which only
  declared and defined the variable palette).

* Changed 'recommended' precision label in
  attributes dialog to 'scant minimum' as this
  better reflects what the value is (or seems to
  be in my opinion).


FIXES:

* Fixed various memory leaks related to coordinates
  calculation.

* Reams of cut-and-pasted code in the construction
  of the palette dialogs has been replaced with generic
  functions.

Looks good!  I really like the palette tools.  They work well and in monkeying with the sliders, you can really get some neat effects.
Again, good stuff!  Need to get back to rendering, now. :)
