Updates from version 2.0
------------------------

The following is a list of modifications and additions to the 2.0 version
of the Fractal Engine:

* Refinements made to the Julia option as this was changing from the current
method and palette selected.

* Refinements made to the Zoom option as this was also changing from the
current method and palette selected.  In addition the zoom-out 'o' key option
did not work correctly.

* The colouring of floating point images differed from the integer ones.  This
was not a problem unless a deep zoom animation was underway.  It caused a
sudden jump in the colour levels outside the set.

* The ability to abort whilst in the middle of a drawing operation has been
added and can be achieved by pressing the right mouse button.  Some slightly
strange effects may be caused due to the jumping out of the iteration loop but
this does not effect program operation.  One point to note is that you CANNOT
resume after breaking but an alert box asks you to confirm first.  This option
is not available for the cloud fractal type or during a batch operation.  Note
this facility is not documented in the manual.

* A peculiar error whilst drawing spheres of fractal zooms has been fixed, 
this may have produced some weird results, especially when performing a zoom
animation.
