Fractint version 20.04 patch 9 is now available
Folks, Fractint, Xfractint, and Winfract versions 20.04 patch 9 are now available on the developer's web sites: www.fractint.org and www.fractint.net What's new: Added new Fractal type DivideBrot5 by Jim Muth. This Fractal type has AP math support. Note that image skewing and inversion are not supported by the AP math routines. See Arbitrary Precision and Deep Zooming for other features not supported. Fixed several obscure bugs in the AP math. Added MakeFile changes from Michal Januszewski (xfractint maintainer in Gentoo Linux) to increase distribution compatibility. Jonathan

http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/diffs/ doesn't contain any patches after 20.04p03. The mirror at twegner.dyndns.org appears out of synch with fractint.org. The domain name lookup on www.fractint.net is timing out for me. http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/ contains a source distribution for linux, but I see no source package (frasrc) there. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>

Since we started using subversion, we have stopped publishing patches. The public interface to subversion is: http://fractint.net/fractsvn/ I'll add this information to the web site, thanks for pointing it out. If you need your old subversion access restored just let me know by private email.

Will fix. The twegner.dyndns.org is a really old machine running a version of Leaf in a ram disk. It's mostly for learning purposes for me, but that's no excuse for my not updating it. Jonathan has been dutifully keeping fractint.net (dreamhost) and fractint.org (fractalus) in synch.

Not sure why that would be. This is hosted at Dreamhost, and while a manage the web site I don't manage the host. Works for me today.
http://www.fractint.org/ftp/current/ contains a source distribution for linux, but I see no source package (frasrc) there.
For an absurd length of time we haven't released an "official" version with fractsrc, but the Svn interface gives the public the same capability. I'll document this better. The feedback is appreciated. Tim

That's only a browse interface, though. You don't provide any way of actually getting the tagged distribution without manually downloading each individual file.

I don't see why you don't allow read-only public access then.

Sorry, but no it doesn't give the public the same capability. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>

Yes, it's a pretty lame http interface. It's whatever the Dreamhost control panel allowed me to set up. On the plus side it was almost effortless on my part. However, all is not lost. Just use your favorite svn client and point it to http://fractint.net/fractsvn/ and then you can checkout any revision you want. You will then have the full power of your subversion client. As we speak I am checking out everything with Tortoise. I am going to experiemnt and see if I can do svn diff with tortoise.

Given the ability to use a subversion client rather than the browser interface, If we told you which subversion revision corresponds to which patch, would that give you what you want? Couldn't you use svn diff? Tim
Rich, Just to follow up. First a disclaimer, I am neither expert with nor an advocate of svn Tortoise under windows. My teams at NASA use svn under Linux, and the command line version is what I am familiar with. WIth the command line svn it is easy to generate a diff file between any two revisions, it's a single command. Having said that, with a half hour of experimentation, I found that Jonathan has made a tag for each fractint patch he has released, and Tortoise has a revision graph capability that will show you graphically which svn repository revision corresponds to which tag. Tortoise has the capability to change your working area to any particular repository revision, and to show a diff between your files and the repository. None of that quite adds up to creating a diff between revisions in a straight forward way, but it's close. I imagine one could make a work area at the revision corresponding If somebody knows more about svn under Windows maybe they could chime in. Rich, how is this svn set up at your Fractint for WIndows site? Tim

When in doubt read the docs:-) http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-howto- compare.html Tim
