Fract 0.5.9
The latest Fract is out. It is now possible to now move interesting regions in the voting boot and to download wallpaper sized images. Xach improved Salza again, it's now almost two times faster. The bottle neck is now in Poly-pen. I can get rid of the CLOS dispatch time with some declarations but there is still too much consing. The construction of a point at every pixel is quite sub-optimal. I expected it to come to haunt me one of these days.
It was a good move to add user voting. Only a few hours after the release people are already finding spots that I never saw before. The next step will probably be user comments unless popularity forces me to fix the consing. I'm still not pleased with the color maps. The zoom independent color maps is much better but I still see places where a single tone is dominant. It's sad since those places are usually filled with interesting details. Maybe there is not one size fit all for color maps and I'll have to add a bundle of them.
