Version 20.4 patches and executables (DOS) are now on the developer's web site: www.fractint.org What's new: Incremented the version number to accommodate backwards compatibility for the mandel based per-pixel routines that were not setting the Y variable. Added a passes=o option that draws an image by plotting the orbits of the escape time fractals and leaving them on the screen. This technique uses the same coordinates to draw an image as the other passes options, sets "passes=1" and no symmetry, and then plots the orbits for each pixel. See {Drawing Method}. Cleaned up panning logic. Cleaned up docs. Xfractint fixes: Fixed the newton and newtbasin types in Xfractint so they would work without using the FPU=387 option. Fixed the Xfractint mandelbrot code in calmanfp.c so that the image generated matched the one produced by the StandardFractal() routine. Fixed the outside=sum option when used with the mandel fractal type. Fixed the command line option -geometry, which broke at 20.2.05. Jonathan
