After 6 years of pause, we have put together XaoS 3.1. In fact, it was almost complete already in 1997. In addition, there may be other cleanups and fixes to be done but we leave them for version 3.2.
During this long delay many users downloaded and installed XaoS 3.0 and also the prerelease versions. Many Linux distributors packages still use 3.0 because the official release have not come out yet. This is the main reason we decided to push XaoS 3.1 out as soon as possible.
In addition, many developers contributed to the XaoS project. To allow them the possibility to develop the code more efficient, we moved to SourceForge, are using CVS tracking and the source code has been indented using GNU style. The were also some minor improvements since 1997, e.g. internationalization or adding new fractal types.
The result of the work of the developer crew is this software you can install now. Please go on and read file doc/INSTALL to continue and/or read the other files in directory doc/.
