I haven’t added a post for a while as I’ve been busy getting Saturn & Titan version 2.0.0 ready for release. Work on version 2.0.0 is complete and the Linux source package and the Microsoft installer for Windows are available for download. For this release it may be possible to install Saturn & Titan on Vista and XP in addition to Windows 7, I have don’t have either Vista or XP to test the installation on. I tried out a test installer for version 1.1.1 with support for XP with the help of user in China and it was reported to work.
I’ve also created a combined user manual by merging the previous two manuals and it as been updated in line with the changes for version 2.0.0. The user guide hasn’t yet been updated, a new issue should be released in about a week or so.
A new feature of Saturn is the ability to export colour maps either as native .scm (Saturn Colour Map) or .ugr files. I’ve made available all the colour maps I’ve personally created in two files: a .scm file and a .ugr file, there are 63 colour maps in the first file and 68 in the second, the .ugr file includes the 5 built in default colour maps. The .scm file should be used for import into Saturn as they include several “auto” colour maps which are defined using waveforms. The .ugr file can be used by any software that understands .ugr files such as Ultra Fractal, Apophysis, Gnofract4D etc.
For a summary of changes to Saturn & Titan see the release notes (subpage of Software).
I expect I’ve missed some bugs which will need fixing in due course, please let me know if you find any.
Now that version 2.0.0 is out I can now consider the next post.
Hi,
Your software looks really interesting.
I tried to install it on my computer (I am running Windows XP).
I got a message saying the program could not be installed on a computer with a color quality lower than 32 bits.
If you have any advice, I would appreciate it, because I am eager to try the software.
Thanks,
Karen
