I am currently running one of the two versions below (can't determine which): SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2018-08-05 SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2019-04-06 The frequency of crashes when trying to change video modes (and other ? operations) has me wanting to update ASAP. I have concerns and questions. 1) It has been so long since my last install I am not sure how to set this up. Confusing to me as there is not a standard Windows app installation process. Do I just unzip the files and launch the EXE? 2) Can I unzip this in my existing folder without losing my files or causing problems, or should I create a new folder and copy my legacy files (GIF, PAR, FRM) as required? 3) Is there a method for arbitrary size disk video (2048x2048 is a bit small for my current needs) like the last DOS versions? Also is there a current version of Winfract that is worthwhile, or am I better off sticking with the latest version of Fractint?

Fixes include: Fix to reduce CPU utilization when on text screens. Fixed the Plasma Fractal Type (again), so a non-standard fractint.cfg does not cause a crash.
