Hi,

It was hard work, but now it is done: The Jave Movie Player is
integrated into Jave. JMOV-animations can now be edited/viewed/created
in Jave.

But that's not the only thing new. Although I have concentrated on
fixing bugs and increasing usability, there are many new features to
have fun with.
[E.g. in the menu 'special' there are some surprises I am not going to
tell you about here :-)]

Have a look below for a list of what's new or download it from:
 http://www.jave.de

Tell me what you think about it!

Have fun,
Markus

What's new:

 * Movie Editor for JMOV-Files (Jave Movie Files)
   You can now load/play/create/edit JMOV files
 * Thumbnail Browser
   - now a little faster
   - can also display thumbnails for JMOV-Files
   - can now be accessed from a button in Jave
 * Edit Menu:
   - paste as new document/paste as new selection
 * Color schemes: 
  - now black on white is standard at startup
  - Every document can now have its own color scheme (black on
white/white on black/black on gray)
 * Ascii2Gif:
   Size can now be adjusted in a wider range (not only thumbnail size
like in Jave1.0beta)
 * Menu - Modify - Rotate:
   Rotates document/selection 180degrees
 * Menu Special (Well, I was playing around a bit...):
   - Small tool for creating fractals (mandelbrot set)
   - Ascii 3d renderer can create simple 3d scenes or animations
(rotates the scene 360 degrees)
   - Two surprises - I am not going to tell you what it is, you have to
look at it yourself
   - Something like a screensaver...
   
 * Mouse movement:
   Most actions with mouse can now also end outside the current
documents area.
   This is often good for drawing shapes or moving selections (although
the document is not yet being
   scrolled when you move the selection out of the visible area)
 * Generic Tools (the green ones):
   -adjusting the options (style/mix) for one of those tools will affect
all of them
   -new style: dot  
    .'''..                  ..    :                     :
   :      '.             ..'      '.                   .'
   :       :          ..'          :                   :
   :        :       :'              '.               .'
    '        '....''                  '.           .'
                                     '''.....'''    
 * Thousands of bugfixes and smaller improvements

BTW: I have removed 'beta' from the version number, because I have not
received bug
reports for a long time now. I still know about some bugs in Jave, but
is there nobody
who wants them to be fixed? So if you find a bug or something you don't
like the way it
works (or not) please post a few words to markus@jave.de. I will try to
fix it.
Also I would like to know what you think about the new features and what
other ideas you have.

What comes next?
  - documentation (hopefully)
  - bug fixes
