END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Just released JWildfire V0.71.

Again, this version comes with a truly amazing new feature: the ability to use svg-graphics as shapes in your fractals! To achieve this, there is a new “svg_wf” variation which works like a blur and accepts any svg-file as input.
To render svg files the powerful “SVG Salamander” library is used, which is also an open source project, see https://svgsalamander.java.net/ for more information).

Additionally, I redesigned the official logo, registered the domain  http://jwildfire.org and created an official forum http://jwildfire.org/forum/.

So you can expect the release of “the product”, i. e. JWildfire 1.0  soon!

Complete list of changes:
 - new “svg_wf”-variation which allows to use scg-graphics as shapes in flame fractals
 - file-dialog with preview for selecting svg-resources for the new svg_wf variation
 - svg-path-setting in the Preferences
 - JWFMovie-editor: turned the plain number fields into the more powerful JWildfire number fields
 - the background color can now be chosen using the default color picker
 - updated some links on the welcome screen, you can now reach the new forum here, for example
 - created a new JWildfire logo and included it in to new launcher and welcome screen
 - two new images for the launcher created by Norbert H.
 - subflames are now also supporting transparency
 - new option which controls what happens if you create a new random batch (clear the thumbnail strip, append the new flames at the bottom, or insert them at the top)
 - skipping comments in *.ugr files
