New in MandelX 1.40 (Oct 21, 2015)
- Added DPI aware manifest to avoid fullscreen glitches because of high DPI virtualization under Win7/8.
- Many changes (dialog fonts, printer dialog etc.) for better user experience under high DPI modes.
- Disabled themes under 8bit fullscreen modes to avoid hard to read dialog boxes opened from context menu.
- Removed settings dialog default dock mode that heavily lagged under Win7/8.(You can re-eanble it in the system menu of the dialog).
- Fixed incorrect paledit detection in UAC enabled mode.
- Removed source because no one can compile it without heavy hacking of built-in units that I am not allowed to distribute.
New in MandelX 1.39 (Oct 21, 2015)
- Fixed user interface bug in case of higher than normal(96) windows DPI setting.
New in MandelX 1.38 (Jan 20, 2013)
- Subpixel calculation implemented for smoother images. This works best with fine structures.
New in MandelX 1.37 (Jun 26, 2012)
- Full multithreaded rendering support (very useful for AVI record). Some changes for better wide screen monitor support.
- Global settings are stored in INI file.
New in MandelX 1.36 (Jun 26, 2012)
- Multithreaded picture rendering under "Print & Disk rendering". Some optimization for win7 and newer video drivers (default video buffer in system memory, because video memory access is slow on some drivers. There is a new option in settings to switch it off).Invertrect default is turned off since flickering occurs on win7 (waitforverticalblank is not working with directdraw).Changed default LCD widescreen operation: aspect ratio correct rendering without 4:3 adjusting.
New in MandelX 1.35 (Jun 26, 2012)
- SSE2 code path implemented. Iteration Codes moved to separate library 'SIMD_LIB.DLL'. Some bug fixes.
- Aero and Vista's theme breaks some functionalities so disable Aero, or use compatibility modes.
New in MandelX 1.34 (Jun 26, 2012)
- Palette animation executes in a separate thread, allowing resize, zoom, recalculate etc. while in animation mode.
New in MandelX 1.33 (Jun 26, 2012)
- Saved mandelx files (*.man) now include the actual palette if a palette map is loaded, so colors preserved.
- Color of the set's interior can be choosen independently from the RGB procedural coloring method.
- Major bug fixes related to non 4:3 fullscreen modes and Julia Set preview.
New in MandelX 1.32 (Jun 26, 2012)
- Added integrated Palette editor (based on OS Palette Editor v1.21). First start Paledit.exe and register server.
- Palette maps work in High and True color modes too.
New in MandelX 1.31 (Jun 26, 2012)
- Added Julia set preview window that helps searching while you move your cursor over the Mandelbrot set.
- Press 'J' to enable/disable the window.
- Added palette map handling in 256 color modes. Mandelx uses Fractint compatible MAP files or Paint Shop Pro JASC Palette files.
- Since Mandelx palette is only 224 colors, you can specify in the open dialog box from which color the 224 out of the 256 colors will be loaded.
- (Warning! Mandelx doesn't treat the first palette entry as the color of the set's interior)
- Added make negative Image in 256 color modes .Press 'N' to activate.
