For several releases now, I've had crashes on startup (Windows version) when I try to change the fractint.cfg or sstools.ini files. Or, if I get to rendering point, if I ask for a new render size via Del, I get a crash; or if I try to use a short-cut key like f7 to bypass Del, it also crashes. I sure appreciate the work going into this and assure you, Jonathan, it's not wasted time! Thanks, Tony Hanmer On 25 October 2017 at 12:18, david <gnome@hawaii.rr.com> wrote:
Thanks, nabbed the new version. Can confirm the switch to fullscreen problems in Linux XFractint version: crashes with a terse message in terminal saying "Segmentation fault".
I started it with 1920x1080x256 color window. Pressing F2 also gave a segmentation fault. That's "Standard EGA High Resolution" so might be something very dependent on having standard EGA hardware. Haven't used it in DOS Fractint ever, either. ;)
Trying to load GIFs generated with the previous SDL versions crashes XFractint with the message:
"*** stack smashing detected ***: ./XFractint terminated"
Had no problems bringing up color editor and loading color maps.
Had no problems bringing up the evolver and playing again. :)

Folks,
I updated the maximum path length to 512 characters.
The zoom box using page-up and page-down can now be rotated and skewed.
Changing windows sizes should now auto regenerate the image. There are still problems with changing to full-screen with the Linux version. It may be due to differences between version 2.0.4 (Linux) and 2.0.6 (Windows) of SDL2, or it could be something else. In both Linux and Windows, changing back from full-screen to a window using the <DEL> key generates the correct sized image until you move the window, then it reverts to the size you had it before you changed to full-screen.
Windows version (32-bit) is: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2017-10- 22.zip
Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is:
