The Official JWildfire Blog

Just released JWildfire V2.50 R2.

• Added a new option tinaIntegrationChaoticaAnimationExport to the preferences.
  This option controls if the flames which are exchanged over the Chaotica-bridge are animated flames or static flames. In case you export them as static flames and have not a Studio licence for Chaotica you may render in higher resolutions. Per default this option is set to off, i.e. exported flames are static.
• Fixed a problem with the launcher regarding installation-path containing spaces

Have fun!
