CHANGES:

  1. CLI utilities pymandelcli.py and make_colormap.py updated to use standard argparse library. Arguments should now be passed in the format pymandelcli --width 800 --height 600 rather than pymandelcli width=800 height=600. Type pymandelcli -h for help.

RELEASE 1.0.6

ENHANCEMENTS:

Number of significant enhancements in this release:

  1. Set mode and variant categories separated, allowing Mandelbrot and Julia modes for each variation Standard, Burning Ship and Tricorn. Julias mapped from the Burning Ship's 'keel' are particularly attractive.
  2. Linear color interpolation added to colormap rendering, producing much smoother color gradients.
  3. Periodicity checking added to fractal calculation routine, dramatically improving rendering times for plots which feature substantial 'in set' (black) points.

FIXES:

  1. Fixed bug in mandelpycli command line utility that was skewing the zyoffset coordinate. Also minor improvements to metadata import.

NB: If you have old (pre 0v1.0.0) metadata json files, they'll need amending to change the header element from mandelpy to pymandel - see examples in images folder.

ENHANCEMENTS:

  1. Console script entry point added to setup.py, so application can now be launched via a simple pymandel command as an alternative to python -m pymandel, provided the Python 3 scripts/bin folder is in the user's PATH.

RELEASE 1.0.2

ENHANCEMENTS:

  1. Numba now supports Python 3.9. Minimum numba version updated to 0.53.0.
