I couldn't resist to release kf-2.12.7 on 2017-12-07.  Well, I almost made it on time... Changes:

* renabled guessing conditional on menu option (was disabled in 2.12.4 as enabling it made some random speckles, possibly due to a race condition) (requested by Kalles Fraktaler and Fractal universe)
* added "threads per cpu core" setting
* compiles clean with -Wwrite-strings
* even lower resolution preview for more intensive locations (suggested by Foxxie) (implemented with Adam7-style interlacing with circular sorting)
* copy (Ctrl-X) and paste (Ctrl-V) parameters from the system clipboard
* fixed hang crash bug when normalizing smooth iteration values
* use interval arithmetic ball-period method instead of box-period (speeds up Newton-Raphson zooming a bit) (idea from knighty and gerrit)

Convert it to Lazarus ?

Thanks all,

I tracked down the missing chapter and made the recommended changes.   

For anyone who comes across this, here are the steps;

1. Open registry editor: [Start] > Run > Type in "Regedit" > Hit Enter
2. Navigate to key: Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > GraphicsDrivers
3. Create the keys (Modify if exist):
    (a) Create key of type DWORD (32-bit) and name TdrDelay with a value of 30 as Decimal value.
    (b) Create key of type DWORD (32-bit) and name TdrDdiDelay with a value of 30 as Decimal value.
4. Reboot

I suspect all Windows users may need to do this registry edit for Mandelbulber opencl (includes old MandebulberV1.21 OpenCL version,)  and Fragmentarium.

My two cents on your posted settings. 

- ray tracing tab.  -consider disabling  reflections to save some render time.
-rendering engine. - consider dropping raymarching step multiplier from 1 down to 0.4 or less to improve quality

BTW. V2.13 will have some additional color options that work well with jos leys kleinian, pseudo kleinian and box fold bulbs.

Cheers

modulus function adds incredible depth and visibility into the menger sponge.  it should theoretically still have infinite surface area

That is excellent.
