Milestone 6.0M7
December 4th, 2005
 jave_6.0_M7.zip [2.23MB]
System Requirements
JRE 1.4 or greater installed
What's New
New Features since the last milestone release:
- Dynamic font greyscale tables for Image2Ascii converter
When converting using a greyscale algorithm, the greyscale table for the
current display font can now be computed automatically.
This makes it easy to use special fonts (e.g. symbol fonts) for image2ascii
conversion, where there are no predefined greyscale tables available for.
Note that the predefined tables usually leed to a better conversion result,
since they are manually optimized.
- Macromedia Flash File (SWF) export from Ascii-animations
Requires the free MTASC compiler (http://www.mtasc.org) to be installed
(tested with 1.11 on Windows 2000, should work on other systems, too).
The path to the compiler binary must be specified on the export options page
for SWF export:
- Moved the mouse characters panel from the status bar to the tool options dialog
So mouse characters assigned to left/right mouse buttons can now be adjusted only
where it makes sense to do so:
- Added tool tips in order to somewhat explain the difference between generic and algorithmic tools:
- Added a new example 'key' to the 3D rendering tool - many thanks to Adam Robbins.
- Bugfix: Exception with using TextTool
- Bugfix: Problems saving/loading cliparts
- Lots of other minor improvements and bugfixes, brushed up some dialogs
More Features can be found in the changes from the previous release 6.0 M6.
