I noticed that there is a big difference (for worse) between the color cicling when using the new 20.99.4 compared to the old 20.04p04.
Try the par file below, for instance
 
das0009            { ; nice colours 3
                     ;  Fractint Version 2099 Patchlevel 8
  reset=2099 type=mandel

  }
 
Is there an explanation?
