Flam3 2.8 Beta6 release mainly corrects some bugs and adds some new Variations to the executables and the  flam3 shared library (read below).

New Variations: auger, cos, cosh, cot, coth, csc, csch, exp, log, sec, sech, sin, sinh, tan, tanh.

Thanks a lot to Erik Reckase for the new update!

Flam3 2.8 beta6 – 10/16/09
+ Potential speedup of 5% over prior versions.
+ Many threading issues identified and resolved when using flam3 shared library as
back end for user interfaces.
+ Auger variation added.
+ 14 complex plane variations added.
+ New flam3_make_strip library function to generate stripped genomes for external ui strip renders.
+ Bug fix: when rendering strips, use the same random context for each strip
to prevent edge effects where strips butt against each other.
+ Flam3 will now linearly interpolate missing colors in the colormap.
