[ANN] JavE 6.0M1

Hi,

In order to make JavE 6.0 the best JavE ever, I decided to release
milestone versions as often as possible.

Milestone 1 (6.0M1) can now be downloaded from:
   http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_M1.zip (1144kB)

Requirements:
   JRE 1.4 or greater installed

The current milestone release should be just as stable as the official
5.0 version. The changes are mainly concentrating on the user interface.

Here are a few notes about what's new:
  - I have removed most old AWT components by state-of-the art Swing 
widgets.
  - Dialog layouts have been improved for most dialogs.
  - The FIGlet engine has been replaced with the improved one from my
JFIGlet project. The user interface however is still the same and will
most likely be replaced in the next milestone.
  - The "thumbnail browser" has been changed completely.
  - fixed a bug where some dialogs used proportional fonts with JRE 1.5

Let me know about any bugs or inconveniences you find. Ideas for 
improvements are also welcome.

Cheers,
Markus

To get this one sorted out quickly, can you please check if this still
happens with:
   http://www.jave.de/developer/jave_6.0_M1a.zip

Many thanks,
Markus

Do not if this helps on XP-SP2 with j2re-1_4_2_06 having the same problems.
Updated to jre-1_5_0_01  Both M1 and M1a Working fine.

You're just begging for it Markus ;)
Be careful what you wish for.

ROTFL :-))))

Those are intended. But I think I should add the command names as plain
text. It would then read:

   45(11f9 (asciify)

Ok, this bug was a really stupid one. (One that every developer runs
into when switching from AWT to Swing...)

I fixed it and also fixed some repaint problems in the Image2Ascii
dialog (some of the repaint problems still exist with JRE1.4 - but
that's scheduled for the next milestone):

You should make a JNLP descriptor (Java Web Start) so we could try it 
very easily (plus you could handle the new versions automatically.)
