What is new in version 1.8.8:

  -  New but slow monte carlo rendering method: 'M.C.' button in 'Utilities'.
  -  Author names can be inserted into the parameter, look in 'Infos' tab.
  -  Support for loading 48 bit PNG maps and background pics.
  -  Exchanged the png unit with the old one because of reported saving issues.
  -  Preview images in the loading dialog for m3i (if images are stored in).
  -  Background images are also displayed in the navigator.
  -  Rightclick on the map-nr fields brings up an opendialog for file-choosing.
  -  Formula hybrid combinations with option for start nr of the second hybrid.
  -  Animation preview with manual slider scrolling.
  -  Button to adjust the object color scaling to the histogram.
  -  'Color on iteration' option in the coloring tab.
  -  Some minor changes.

Update 1.8.8.1:
  -  After parameter changes in the navigator, the zoom could be infinite when walking.
  -  Added drawing on image function in the color adjustment window. (see html readme)
  -  Some minor changes.
  -  Bugfix + speed increment of ABoxSmoothFold formula

(Color and other changes can always happen between versions, especially to version 1.8.2 there can be big changes in certain parameters!)

NP, it's no big issue. I see very little difference in colouring when I export parameter files from 1.82 to 1.88 so it seems to work. I don't rename older files, I just create new folders for every new version. There are 10 now
