AEON 7.0.13

The Buddhabrot shows its orbits · 2026-10-11

• The one-minute tour has a voiceover. Each narrated line starts with its caption, and the captions are unchanged. The picture is the same cut, frame for frame. The tour now plays with sound, in the app and on the landing page, and only starts when you press play.
• The Fill note shows once. On a pattern that only draws strokes, the Inspector printed "This pattern draws strokes only, so fill has no effect on it." twice under Fill. It now shows once.
• Buddhabrot renders and exports show the orbits, without a flat field or a hard rectangle. Each orbit was drawn from its starting point, so the box the starting points are picked from showed as a flat olive field with straight edges, on screen and in every export. Orbits are now drawn from their second step, on the CPU and the GPU, for the Buddhabrot and the anti-Buddhabrot. Separately, an export smaller than the screen kept the screen's full sample count, which made it run hotter and pinker than the screen; the count now scales down with the picture as it already scaled up. An export shaped differently from the screen still shows the whole view on bars, as before.
• The landing page's gallery opens AEON on each form. Clicking any of the six pictures under Forms shipped in this box now opens AEON on the form it shows: Seed of Life, Sri Yantra, Maurer Rose, the kite-and-dart Penrose tiling, the Mandelbrot set and the tesseract.
• The Klein quartic and the other surface polygons open at full size. The Klein quartic, the genus-four polygon and the fundamental polygon drew at about a third of the size of the figures around them. All three now open at the same, larger size.
• The theme and contrast rows line up in the app menu. Their labels sat one icon to the right of every other row, because the check mark kept its place in front even when hidden. The check now sits at the end of the row, just before the shortcut key.
• The tab icon has no border in Safari. Safari puts a white plate behind a favicon that is hard to see on its tab bar, and the old icon was a dark square on a dark bar, so it showed a white frame. The tab now shows the copper Seed of Life on its own, from a favicon.ico, small PNGs and an SVG, with a pinned-tab mask for Safari. The home-screen and installed-app icons keep their charcoal tile, as separate rounded and full-bleed versions for each platform.
