Releases

Change-logs, notes, and other information about files released for the project.


Beta 4.0 Released – Batch Conversion

Download it here.

Added ‘File -> Batch Conversion…’

Sorry it took so long, but I decided to wait until I’d implemented everything I wanted before releasing. It’s easily the biggest change since I started this on Sourceforge, with about 25% extra code.

I think I’ve properly tested everything, but please report any bugs here or through the sourceforge link at the top. Also let me know if you think of any other features that could be added.


Beta 3.4 Released

Download it here.

Changes:
Inverted text brightness and contrast when using white text on black background mode
Current entered width or height now kept when loading a new image
Fixed problem with output binary images having an extra space
Added right-click ‘Flip Horizontally’ and ‘Flip Vertically’ to the text image


Beta 3.0 Released

Download it here.

0.3.0

Change log:

    Fixed problem with saving as image being wrong on certain fonts
    Added ability to automatically generate ramps for the current font
    Moved fullscreen button on to a real checkbox button

You won’t see a lot of difference for the default font (Lucidia Console 9pt) because I’d created the default ramp specifically for it, but some of the other fonts show a real improvement with the new ramp creator turned on.

Source code will be uploaded when the cvs server starts working again.


Beta 2.9 Released

Download it here.

Fixed problem with previous image being shown if ramp changed on invalid size
Added ability to change tabs with Ctrl-1 and Ctrl-2
Added ability to switch to a fullscreen view via F11 or the menu
Added check to prevent saving on an empty ramp
Added right click menu option to show or hide the selected area fill
Added toolbar button to switch to and from fullscreen

Also, I added some links at the top of this page.


Beta 2.7 Released

It wasn’t enough for a major version number change, but it was too much for a minor version +1 so I skipped a couple of minor version numbers.

Change log:

    Removed the extra border when moving the selection rectangle
    Fixed bug with widgets sometimes moving on startup
    Changed the look of the application
    Removed sharpen, stretch – use right click to change them
    Added ability to close widgets
    Added new &View menu section to change current tab, and show/hide widgets
    Moved Output size, ASCII ramp and Font to a toolbar
    Made About dialog resizable

There were also a ton of other little bits that broke when I made the changes. I think I’ve gotten everything sorted, but let me know if you see a bug.


Beta 2.4 Released

Nothing major, just finishing off the selection area stuff and reorganised the code a little.

Download here.

Change log:

    Moved all globally used variables into a separate class
    Moved all resource code into a new class
    Moved application Main() into it’s own class
    Added right-click “Lock Selected area” to the image
    Moved all remaining Windows-specific code into NativeMethods
    Mouse cursor now changes when over the selection rectangle or modifiers
    Added an extra semi-transparent border when the selection area is being moved
    Removed modifier handles while moving the selection area
