New features in version 1.05:
- Added Windows installer (uninstall also possible). Windows version is distributed as a Setup.exe file
- Added uninstall script for Linux
- Changed directories structure and locations. Now example and other files are located in (on Linux) /usr/share/mandelbulber directory or (on Windows) C:\Program files\mandelbulber.
  User data is stored in ".mandelbulber" directory located in $HOME folder. This change was necessary for Windows installer and to create real Debian packages (there is a chance that Mandelbulber will be in official Debian repository)
- textures are loaded when necessary
- backgrond gradient is defined using 3 colours
- added "Load Example" button

Please give me a feedback how Windows installer is working and new file locations

What a problem do you have during installation Mandelbulber form archive? Are you using 64-bit version of program? Please give me some details about it.
About debian packages I don't know any timeline. Now it don't depend on me. Debian package is done, but now it's waiting for approval (http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/mandelbulber_1.05-1.html).
