This is a consolidation release, most changes apply to the fractal flames generator T.I.N.A.:
- improved the random gradient generator (to produce more "crisp" results)
- support for background color (other than black) in the interactive renderer
- support for background color in HDR images
- hypertile, hypertile1 and hypertile2 variation by Zueuk
- dc_perlin variation by slobo777
- "Script" tab: added four buttons with four example scripts in the script editor (which may partially be combinated)
- improved the gnarls random flame generators
- removed the unnecessary upper bounds for brightness, contrast and gamma in the user interface
- "Script" tab: buttons for loading/saving scripts
- changed the default horizontal alignment of all numer fields to left aligned
- "Nimbus" is now the default visual theme, added the Mac theme
- "Main tab": removed the "Post transform" and "Symmetry" buttons
- included a FAQ section, improved the help section (larger font, hyperlinks do work now)
Just click the "Random flames" button to start playing around and have fun

Good job mate!
Just kidding, have a nice new week
I will be massaging this version over the weekend and see what comes out.
One question: do you plan to add the possibility to manage the shape of the triangles directly in the editor window? Moving the Affine coordinates does the job but to me is more complicated, especially not having the "Undo" button.
The development is currently community-driven. There can virtually integrated anything into the software if people it demand
I did not plan the feature you requested yet (if I understand you correct you mean free shear?) but will take it into the develepment group where all the feature requests are collected and get priorities. I also think it would be a good improvement so it will probably come soon
As for triangles, I think you got the idea. A triangle defined by o,x,y in JWF can only be moved on the o point. I mean to be able to move independently x and/or y to shape very irregular triangles.
Take care!
