Fractal Flames are algorithmically generated images and animations. The software was originally written in 1992 and released as open source, aka free software. Since then it has developed a lot.

Flames has been incorporated into many graphics programs and ported to most operating systems. The shape of each image is specified by a long string of numbers - a genetic code of sorts.

You can create your own flames with the Apophysis interactive designer (for windows) or with the gimp’s flame plug-in (for linux and OSX). Or you can use the Electric Sheep distributed screen saver to join the collective evolution of animated fractal flames.

What’s New in This Release:

· fixed action string overflow when many xforms are present.
· added ‘print_edit_depth’ env var to control how many levels of tags are saved when using flam3-genome. Fixed wrong placement of random improve_colors code in flam3-genome.
· go to five digit filenames.
· fixed bug in supershape variation.
· API cleanup, thanks to david bitseff.
