With big help from Sebastian I have finished new release of Mandelbulber.
This time there was focus on implementation of flight animation engine. Now it's much more feature rich than in Mandelbulber 1.21. You will see table with animation, where you can add and animate any parameter.
Adding of parameters can be done by right click on chosen parameter edit field.
There is possible to edit animation frames in table and to do basic interpolation of values between frames. For every frame can be displayed preview, which helps to find desired frame.
If built-in table is not enough for you, then try to edit parameter file directly in external editor. Animation frames are stored in CSV format.

What is new?
- Added recording and rendering of flight animation. All frames are displayed in the table with previews.
There is possible to edit values in the table and interpolate them in selected range of frames
All frames can be edited in any spreadsheet editor. CSV format is used in settings file to store animation frames
There is possible to add any parameter to animation (context menu for every parameter)
Added keyboard shortcuts for recording (pause, strafe, roll)
Added player for animation (plays directly from sequence of jpg files)
- added win64 version
- added user defined toolbar. To add new preset it's enough to save settings to $HOME/.mandelbulber/toolbar folder
- added quit confirmation dialog
- added multiple language support (EN, PL, DE)
- reduced all margins and spacings in UI
- added automatic tabify of docks when application is started first time
- in file selection dialog the preview is rendered much faster
- added missing mandelbulber.png icon
- more detailed recording of errors in .mandelbulber_log.txt
- corrected tab order in UI
- fixed bug: in install script
- fixed bug: there was double slash in paths for files
- fixed bug: after application quit rendering was not terminated

What will be in mandelbulber 2.04?
- keyframe editor to do interpolated animations
- and many other improvements...

As always every feedback is appreciated!
