Hi,

Milestone 7 of the new JavE 6.0 (Java Ascii Versatile Editor) is now
available at:
     http://www.jave.de/developer/milestone6m7.html

Here is what's new:

  * Dynamic font greyscale tables for Image2Ascii converter:
      http://www.jave.de/developer/dynamicgreyscales60m7.png

When converting using a greyscale algorithm, the greyscale table for the
current display font can now be computed automatically.
This makes it easy to use special fonts (e.g. symbol fonts) for
image2ascii conversion, where there are no predefined greyscale tables
available for.
Note that the predefined tables usually leed to a better conversion
result, since they are manually optimized.

  * Macromedia Flash File (SWF) export from Ascii-animations:
      http://www.jave.de/developer/swfexport60m7.png

Requires the free MTASC compiler http://www.mtasc.org to be installed
(tested with 1.11 on Windows 2000, should work on other systems, too).
The path to the compiler binary must be specified on the export options
page for SWF export

  * Moved the mouse characters panel from the status bar to the tool
options dialog:
      http://www.jave.de/developer/mousecharacter60m7.png

So mouse characters assigned to left/right mouse buttons can now be
adjusted only where it makes sense to do so:

  * Added tool tips in order to somewhat explain the difference between
generic and algorithmic tools:

  * Added a new example 'Key' to the 3D rendering tool - many thanks to
Adam Robbins.:

Thank you for sharing the results of your excellent work!  JAVE is the
best ASCII-Art tool I've ever used.

Cheers,
