This is a bug fix release, there were some mistakes on previous 3.4 version, sorry!

3.5 is working on X5000. 
Thank you!

Yes, version 3.4 doesn't start, this is the error: 
 
FlashMandel error window 
Menu failed!

I’ll investigate, thanks a lot for reporting it.

Chiamo Massimiliano, grazie mille apprezzo moltissimo i tuoi complimenti. 
Mi contatti via e-mail? 
On my current amiga configuration (Pegasos II) it’s not possible to test any gpgpu/shader code. 
I’d like to develop a gpu engine as also a multicore one. Maybe in future if our beloved platform will support that I’ll  likely add these features.

Ciao Dino and congrats for this piece of art ! 
 
For speed, have you ever considered to move the computation from the CPU to the GPU ?

Hi Massi, I have a couple of modifications request :-) 
 
- Currently requesters will be opened at top-left position, could you modify them in order to open all of them at the center of the window instead 
 
- Menus could be sticked ... right now you have to still pressing the mouse button (rmb) to mantain then opened .. a bit old style :-)

Hi Massi, ..who knows what the real Amiga is! :-) 
 
Flashmandel it's a long time project for my experiments and fun, where I care all possible speed optimizations. 
Now I'm writing an handmade altivec assembler code for altivec version because C compiler directives does not satisfy me. The GCC asm generated code is far then optimized, no one will be ever better than humans to write good code ;-) 
 
Thanks for your interest.

One could certainly debate if a Pegasos is a "real Amiga" :-) 
 
Anyway interesting project, great care for the optimizations.

altivec version working great here on X1000 ! gorgeous colours and patterns! thanks

Altivec is running fine on X1000. 
Screendepth is not set in the icon-tooltypes to 8bit in the Altivec executable.

@Severin 
Please can you try the new 1.6 version and report if altivec version works ok?

The altivec version of 1.5 does not render on my X1000, I just get a black screen, wait a few seconds the beep/flash and still nothing. 
 
Non-altivec version renders ok.

@tonyw 
 
I'll try to reproduce the crash and will look inside the startup code to fix it. Can you try the altivec version and report here if it works or not?

It runs OK from Shell. I don't think there is anything wrong with the icon, all the tooltypes seem to be in order.

I confirm Alex's comment about an immediate crash with OS4.1. The failure is a reference to 0xDEADBEEF (on my X5K), so the program is trying to read memory that has been returned to the kernel via FreeVec().

@ AlexC 
 
I could not reproduce your problem here. What happens, if you delete the icon (info) file and launch the problem from a shell? Maybe the info file is corrupt. 
 
@ PhantomInterrogative + Severin 
 
Please send your requests to Dino Papararo, he is the maintainer of the FlashMandel package.

It works fine here with 4.1u1 once I'd turned on the executable bit in the icon.

Did you have to include all those pictures? the archive is only 1.5mb without them saving 34mb of downloading for people with slow connections (yes they still exist, I know people who still can't get adsl and other who have it but it's not much faster than dialup).

Could you add the Lyapunov set to the program?

Here with OS4.1u1 it crashes in icon.library as soon as I click the icon. Same with the 68k-noFPU version. 
 
I'll post the crashlog.
