		<description><![CDATA[** Download it here **
Internal design changes, and some cool new stuff.
Dithering
Thanks to an great idea sent to me through sourceforge, the program now comes with the ability to run a dithering filter over the output.

		<title>Colour ASCII Art tips, Localization Example and more</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Colour ASCII Art
Since I’ve been playing around with the colour image output a lot in the last few months, I thought I’d share a few tips.

		<title>Next version: Globalization + Save and Print Colour Images</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just as a heads-up, the next version of the program will include the ability to translate it into whatever language you want (or change words to make them sound rude).
Originally I planned to use the inbuilt globalization stuff, but it&#8217;s unbelievable how complex it makes everything. Instead I&#8217;ve come up with my own easy system [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve gotten rid of the tabs, and put the input and output images on the same bit so they&#8217;re both viewable all the time. I&#8217;ve been playing with it for a few weeks, and you get used to it.
