Release Plan

The farther out a release is on this plan, the more flexible and vague are the goals.

Iterated Dynamics 1.2 (March 3rd, 2025)

~~Remove all the integer fractal types and associated code paths~~
- ~~map all integer fractal types to their floating-point equivalent on image read~~
promote this project

Iterated Dynamics 2.0

switch to a wxWidgets based UI with a 'CGA text window' wxWidgets component to handle the text screens
separate UI from application logic
switch UI from polling to event-driven
restore sound support?
switch to OpenGL for all pixel and primitive rendering operations?

Iterated Dynamics 3.0

replace the major CGA text window options screens with wxWidgets dialogs
replace crazy homebrew complex types/math with C++ std::complex<>
replace homebrew bignum with boost multiple precision library with GNU GMP/mpfrcpp backend
lots of automated testing needed here to ensure that the math isn't messed up. Maybe a clang refactoring tool could do some of the transformations. Not sure.

Iterated Dynamics 4.0

replace homebrew formula parser with one based on Boost.Parser
recast existing fractal types as C++ algorithms operating on std::complex<T> to enable arbitrary precision on them
recast existing fractal types as GPU shaders
