 jave_6.0_M6.zip [2.10MB]
System Requirements
JRE 1.4 or greater installed
What's New
New Features since the last milestone release:
- New font chooser for display font. It is in the menu View, Display font... and you can
use it to select any true type font installed on your system.
The font will be used for the editors, for the preview in
the image2ascii converter and the FIGlet editor. It will
also be used as default font for GIF export.
- Reduced startup time, reduced system resources for crash recovery
- Java ImageIO API is used for loading image files. So JavE now supports all image file formats
that are supported by the Java runtime you have installed.
- Replaced the old FIGlet font export assistant by a new wizard implementation.
- Cliparts are now sorted by name
- Brushed up some icons, added icons to more menu items
- Brushed up dialog for adding current selection as new clipart

with the Gradient converting algorithm / menu Special, Decode Steganogram)
- Changed the about dialog to be an ordinary dialog with close button
