| What is Fractint? |
Fractint is a freeware fractal generator created for IBMPC's and compatible computers to run under DOS and ported to Linux. This page is for developers who wish to keep up with the latest source changes and users who would like to try the current developer's version.
| The Fractint User Web Pages |
The latest offical release is available here: dos and linux.
| Latest Developer Version Source Patches and Executable |
The latest developer version files can be obtained in this directory. We have divided the packages into separate dos and linux subdirectories. These files include the current release version, current source, and the current Xfractint source. We no longer create diff files corresponding to official patches. You can also access the code directly from the subversion repository at http://fractint.net/fractsvn/. This URL has a rudimentary web interface; if you really want to see the source, it is best to use a Subversion client (svn for Linux or TortoiseSVN for Windows) and download a working copy.
If all you want is the executable package of the developer's version, download the file fradev.zip. Changes in the main dos version since the last official release are listed in whatsnew.txt.
You will find some experimental, pre-alpha code here . Currently this includes Jonathan Osuch's Linux/Allegro port. This is in source code form which requires a development environment as well as as a Red Hat RPM package.
If you are looking for some pre-built Linux binaries of Xfractint, try Scott Boyd's Xfractint page.
