Hi,

good news for all users of JavE (http://www.jave.de, Java Ascii
Versatile Editor): I have continued to work on the new 6.0 release.

Today I published a new integration build:
   http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_i20070819.zip
(2.5MB, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or greater required)

Below is a list of the most important changes since the last milestone
release 6.0 M7 (http://www.jave.de/developer/milestone6m7.html).

Give it a try and please let me know if you find any bugs or have ideas
for improvements!

Best regards,
Markus

  - The experimental VT100-Viewer can now be accessed via menu
    "Animation" > "Open VT Animation". The VT-Viewer has been included
    with JavE for many versions, but it only could have been started from
    the command line. You can use it for playing VT (Virtual Terminal,
    VT100) animations. There is no editing, conversion or export to other
    formats available yet.
    Example animations are included in the distribution in the folder
    /examples/vt/

  - The distribution now contains a few example files for animations in
    /examples/ folder.

  - Animation editor: Less important controls can be hidden
(http://wiki.jave.de/index.php/Feature_request:More_Animation_Editor_Space)

  - Animation editor: Added navigation buttons to toolbar

  - Renamed "Mix Characters" checkbox to "Merge Characters" to better
    reflect its meaning.

  - Tweaked user interface a bit (splash screen, about dialog, toolbar
    buttons, colors, etc)

  - Bugfix: SWF animation export respects actual frame size

  - Bugfix: Exception caused by double clicking outside the document when
    the text tool is active.

  - Bugfix: Hitting the save button on an animation editor will save the
    animation, not only a single frame. Also: Removed the "Save" and
    "Save As..." buttons from the animation menu (since they only
    duplicated the ones from the file menu).
