Version 1.45.02 Notes:

Added: Image Dragging and Size-Scrolling, so now you can 'slide' the image around, or 'unfurl' new area by sizing the App. Added a Menu to the Color Editor, which is the control on the bottom of the color tab in the control panel. On the Menu, is the ability to open and save color files. 2 file formats are currently available, FractalInt's .map files and SuperMap files, which are backward compatible with .map files. SuperMap files are a type of text file containing red-green-blue and ALPHA values and can hold up to 34,000,000 colors !

Improvements: began centralized error handling, which will require a minor re-engineering project to be used everywhere in the code.

Fixes: ... can remember ... forgot to document ...   :-)

Next Version:  'tracing out' set points and 2 more color methods to add. Better Sound handling. Finish menu for the Color Editor. Improve Color Quality on 16 - 256 color and 16 bit bitmaps and icons. Full Screen Display mode ! Update to a newer version of QuickLZ, for faster and multi-threaded compression.

OH ! ... and of course, UPDATE The Help File !!!

Version 1.45.01 Notes:

Added: Image Centering where you can select a point to center on or you can select an Area to center on ! Also Added an option of scaling the Magnify-Zoom Box from the center, instead of by the corner. I put these options in an easy access menu called 'Mouse Function' where you can select what the mouse cursor means/does, ie: Magnify, Pick Julia points, Center the current image, or make a new Centered Image, and in the Final release version, Drag-Scroll image. There is now a Right-Click Context Menu available when you Right-Click on the image, instead of previously just meaning 'GO' !

Improvements: 'e-Smoothing' performance has been greatly increased. Eye-Candy performance as well. Raw Data Compression on Gradient Color images now can compress the data, before the data was incompressible. The speed performance of Gradient Coloring over-all has been improved, without loss of quality. The Magnify-Zoom has been some what re-engineered, and is 'dead-on' accurate, it was accurate before in the coordinates it produced, but had slight disagreement with the visual representation. What you see INSIDE the Magnify-Zoom Box is exactly what you get for the area of an image !

Fixes: added term 'Bailout' to abs(Z) Limit in Control Panel. fixed mis-handling of raw data, with Gradient Coloring, in Auto-Magnify and a sound variable used with Eye-Candy's Peak Meter.

Final Release Version:  Image Drag-Scrolling, .map color files and 'tracing out' set points and 2 more color methods to add. Better Sound handling. A menu for the Color Editor. Improve Color Quality on 16 - 256 color and 16 bit bitmaps and icons. Full Screen Display mode ! Update to a newer version of QuickLZ, for faster and multi-threaded compression.

OH ! ... and of course, UPDATE The Help File to version 1.45.01 !!!
