Releases · rust-fractal/rust-fractal-gui

This is the biggest update yet. The cumulation of months of improvements.

Added progressive rendering, where a partially complete image will be shown as rendering progresses.
New glitch correcting algorithm, significantly faster in most cases. Now corrects all glitches in an image.
General UI refactoring including new tab layout and sliders. This includes new build information.
Added UI for Newton-Raphson root finding and subsequent Julia morphing. Root can be selected using box method period detection where the pattern multiplier can then be selected.
Further optimized inner loops to take advantage of auto-vectorisation. In some cases >20% iteration performance improvement.
Added new stripe data which can be calculated. This is based on stripe average coloring method.
New lighting method for derivatives based on Blinn-Phong shading. Can be combined with stripe coloring in a similar manner to the gpu-mandelbrot program.
Stored reference zoom level to only recalculate when zooming past calculated precision limit.
New window to specifically edit location parameters as these are often large in size.
Optimized drawing of image to screen by storing rendered buffer.
Many more bug fixes and improvements.
