Current translations are out of date. Please submit your translations so that we can share with everyone.

Changes:

  • Streamlined user experience
  • Removes artwork that broke some dialogs
  • Supports localized fonts for text generation
  • Decouples many classes for cleaner, simpler heirarchy
  • Improves preview of machine
  • Shows long image calculations as they are happening (less mystifying)

  • Adds some fractal generators

The English translations file can be found here. Please translate only the elements >value<like this>/value<.

Once this update has translations it will become the new official release and the master branch of the software will be updated.
