ABS Fractal Explorer Devlog v1.0.21

Over the past awhile (Since v1.0.10) I have been rewriting ABS-Fractal-Explorer to fix issues and to implement new functionality.

One of the bigger changes was the addition of asynchronous threading, which allows the GUI to run at 60fps even if the fractal is rendering close to 1fps as seen in the image below. Alongside this, the fractal image will be able to move/pan/stretch while the next frame is being rendered, contributing to a smoother experience overall. 

Some of the other features in ABS-Fractal-Explorer v1.0.21 include:

• FracExpKB files to set custom key-binds 
• A proper GUI and menu to change fractal parameters
• Polar Mandelbrot rendering Sextic ABS Fractals (I couldn't get the generalized N'th power ABS Mandelbrots to work quite yet)
• An abort rendering button, incase one decides to render at 16777216 iterations at 576 samples per pixel
• FP80 (10^17.7) and FP128 (10^32.5) rendering modes to zoom even further (Although FP128 is ludicrously slow)
• Stretching and Rotation transformations, which allows the squished parts of some fractals to be viewed Along with several other planned features

ABS-Fractal-Explorer is still under development and is not quite ready to be released yet. You can download the source code for the rewrite from GitHub: https://github.com/ZERICO2005/ABS-Fractal-Explorer/tree/rewrite
