What's new

v5.7
Big Improvement for Intel GPU users: ===================
You can now use the Mega 2D and 3D variation sets, which include all the hundreds of variation types found in the app.
This change is available for Metal GPU rendering, but not OpenCL GPU rendering.
In prior app versions, Intel GPU users were unable to use these huge variation sets.
AMD and Apple Silicon GPUs have always been compatible with these huge variation sets.
Note: GPU rendering is unlocked by purchasing an optional GPU Rendering in-app purchase option.
Fractal Architect 5 no longer has a subscription option ==========
The app no longer allows you to purchase a subscription to unlock the GPU rendering and Animation Sequencer features. 
Previously purchased active subscriptions are still recognized and honored.
Prior subscriptions will not automatically renew.
There are now 2 optional in-app purchase items (which never expire) :
1) GPU Rendering
2) Video Animation Sequencer
Loyalty Reward for Prior Long Term Subscribers ==========
If you had previously purchased a subscription and the subscribed periods' total duration was greater or equal to 1 year (12 months),
then the app will unlock both the GPU Rendering and Video Animation Sequencer features.
Subscription periods, for which you had received a refund from Apple, will not be included in the duration count.
