A clearer workspace for fractal exploration: • Native toolbar actions replace the large floating control panel. • Open Fractal, Skin & Quality and Iterations & Effects in compact popovers. • Keep navigation, favorites, help, render status, diagnostics, Iteration Journey, and all existing export options within reach. • Show renderer information during the live Metal preview as well as progress during deep-zoom calculations. • Enter exact iteration budgets directly in the settings popover.

- Added Quantum Glass, a luminous new rendering style with glass-like orbit structures and reflective highlights. - Improved deep-zoom rendering for Quantum Glass and the recently introduced abstract palettes. - Stabilized artistic orbit details across progressive previews and final high-precision renders. - Improved the appearance of abstract palettes at extreme zoom levels.

- Added six expressive abstract rendering styles: Metallic Dreams, Embossed Metal, Guilloché, Spheroid Glass, Quantum Traps, and Orbital Waves. - Added live style controls for structure, complexity, curl, relief, engraving, glass, interference, and waves. - Extended the new abstract styles to Mandelbrot, Julia, and Power fractals. - Added a compact on-screen toggle that keeps the artwork unobstructed while controls are hidden. - Updated favorites to preserve the selected style and high-resolution export to reproduce its current settings. - Improved the appearance and brightness of the abstract styles across normal views and deep zooms.

- Added a new visual welcome and quick-start experience with rotating fractal artwork and direct access to essential controls. - Added guarded Extreme Precision with 6xDouble reference rendering for much deeper Mandelbrot exploration. - Added adaptive reference anchor selection and coverage repair for difficult deep-zoom viewports. - Automatic mode now raises the iteration budget from the center escape value plus a reserve, so slow-escape views resolve more reliably. - The manual Deep iteration range now reaches 250,000 iterations. - Favorites now preserve the effective iteration count used for automatic deep renders. - Render diagnostics now expose the selected reference strategy, automatic iteration budget, reserve, anchors, and coverage details.

- Deep quality now offers an extended manual range of up to 160,000 iterations for resolving exceptionally slow-escaping Mandelbrot structures. - Automatic mode retains its responsive defaults; the additional range is available only when deliberately selected.

- New **Extreme Precision** rendering combines Triple-Double coordinates with local reference-orbit refinement for extraordinary Mandelbrot depth. - Explore reliably around 10^38× magnification, with an explicitly experimental frontier around 10^39×. - Automatic mode now selects the fastest stable strategy as you move between normal views and deep precision ranges. - Deep-zoom favorites preserve their precise coordinates, render quality, and effective iteration depth. - High-resolution deep-zoom PNG exports are recalculated for the selected output size. - Expanded diagnostics show precision coordinates, center verification, and reference-orbit information.

- Discover **Aurora**, a new atmospheric palette featuring electric blues, vivid spectral accents, and enhanced fine detail. - Hide or reveal the controls with **Command–Shift–C** for a more immersive fractal view. - Improved deep-zoom exports and Ultra Export availability. - More accurate zoom information and improved thumbnails for saved favorites.

This update improves extreme Mandelbrot exploration and export reliability on macOS. • Precise zoom labels now remain accurate far beyond the previous display limit • Render Diagnostics now show exact zoom and log-depth information • Favorite Spots now display extreme zoom levels correctly • Normal PNG export now uses the precise deep-zoom viewport • Export status now shows when an export is finished and how long it took • Ultra Export is disabled automatically when a deep zoom requires the precise export path This makes very deep locations easier to inspect, save and export without misleading zoom labels or unsafe Ultra Export choices.

Auric joins the palette collection with a metallic gold look designed for medallion-like Mandelbrot views, ornamental Julia spirals and polished Mandelbrot Relief highlights. Deep zoom rendering continues to improve with smarter automatic precision selection, smoother iteration changes and stronger high-precision stability for extreme Mandelbrot exploration.

Deep zoom has been substantially upgraded. Beauty of Fractals now automatically selects a higher-precision rendering path when normal floating-point resolution is no longer sufficient. • Automatic Maximum Precision for extreme Mandelbrot exploration • Improved stability at ultra-deep zoom levels • New Double-Double final rendering on iPhone and iPad • Faster, more reliable high-precision CPU refinement • Smoother iteration adjustments while navigating Explore intricate Mandelbrot structures at depths far beyond conventional floating-point limits.

BeautyOfFractals 2.4 opens two new worlds of discovery. NEW: Celtic Mandelbrot Explore an expressive Mandelbrot variation with organic structures, dramatic symmetry and surprising deep-zoom landscapes. From bold architectural forms to intricate cellular patterns, Celtic Mandelbrot reveals a very different character at every scale. NEW: Eight Rainbows Discover an eighth-degree fractal with vivid colour fields, ornamental spirals and intricate repeating structures. Eight Rainbows brings a new kind of visual energy to the explorer, from broad psychedelic compositions to highly detailed deep-zoom scenes. Improved deep exploration • Refined high-precision CPU rendering for smoother progressive refinement during demanding deep zooms. • Added an Atmospheric Finish for selected Celtic Mandelbrot palettes. It preserves rich colour, glow and local structure in expressive deep views while keeping the final image crisp. • Render Status now clearly identifies the Atmospheric Finish and the actual iteration level used for those Celtic views. • Deep Blue and all other fractal modes continue through their full final refinement path for maximum detail. • Continued improvements to the visual consistency of high-precision rendering, thumbnails and saved favourite spots. Thank you for exploring the infinite.
