JDraw's first stable version has been released. Well, there were hardly any bug reports, so we decided to choose a non-beta release name for a change. :)
You can now Ctrl-click when filling; this will replace colours in the complete frame. Text antialiasing has been improved and now considers the text's background correctly.

Happy new year!

JDraw's version 1.3beta is now available.

The following problems were fixed. Colour removal and filling have been reimplemented and should be stable now. The transparent
colour of GIF images is recognized correctly again.

There are two new features. The filling tool has been enhanced and now considers tolerance values while replacing colours. The other new feature is an image browser that searches a given directory recursively for image files. This tool is especially meant for those of you working with the jdk1.3 version, because their file browser doesn't show previews.... read more

A new version of JDraw has been released!
Developer version 1.2.2beta offers two
new features:

Floating clips can now be flipped and rotated
by 90. Check the "Edit" menu.

The second feature makes use of Java's class
javax.swing.GrayFilter and let's you grayscale
a frame. Check the "Frame" menu.

I somehow messed up the file upload for the
new devel and beta versions. Sorry 'bout that.
Please always check JDraw's version information
in the window title after you downloaded a new
archive.
And feel free to complain! :)

GIF images are now read more robustly. JDraw suggests a second try if its first attempt fails.
This fallback mechanism should produce a result, but won't support multiple frames.

JDraw now supports Windows' .ico format! Just update your version to v1.1beta!

A new pixel editor is available at Sourceforge.net!
