Hi,

I have released version 0.9beta of my little editor. It can be
downloaded from:
  http://www.jave.de
It still has no good undo/redo system (I am working on it!) - but many
bug fixes and new features.

Have fun testing,
Markus

Changes:
 - Bug fixes (e.g. Stack overflow problem with fill tool, options dialog
problem with some systems - thanks to Peter Punk)
 - Seperated ellipse/rectangle tool
 - Preview for ellipses, rectangles (not completed) and freehand (!)
 - Pressing SHIFT makes ellipses/rectangles appear with same height and
width (as good as it can be done with characters...).
 - Pressing SHIFT will make horizontal lines centered to the line (line
tool)
 - Improvments in some dialogs
 - Library for patterns (fill tool) - Many thanks to MikeChat/MJP
 - Two more modes for gradient fill:  

            sunburst                          radial

 - 3 matching modes for filling
(if you figure out how it works you can produce images like:
