    Great additions - thanks for the development of another AWESOME ANSi editor; I bet the collab server will go over well with the artists in
    the w0rld!! Thanks, OB!

    ty - icy draw won't get much attention - not many ppl do ansi art anymore. There I'm realistic pain/gain ratio is bad there.

    The only program that get's used a bit is IcyTerm. However I think I'll chip in a QWK reader :).

    Christmas is here :)

    https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools/releases/tag/IcyDraw0.5.0
    Same as the new icyterm/view - completely rewritten UI/UX experience
    Users told me that icy draw should be a bit more like moebius/pablo draw that's what it is now.
    Without losing features.
    It still can edit bit fonts, tdf fonts, animations and ofc almost all ANSI formats. However I'm interested in feedback about the new UI/UX experience.
    New Feature: Collaboration.
    Now you can connect to moebius servers or host sessions (moebius compatible).
    Most drastic changes were in the bitfont editor - I took fontraption ideas and integrated them into icy draw.
    Animations can now exported in AV1 as well. Still researching how to sanely support H256 without making the binary 50MB bigger - or - producing uncompressed H256. But AV1 is a good step for videos. Animated GIF/Asciicast still supported ofc.
    IcyDraw got a MCP server! The AI can really help writing animations. But so far I didn't get any AI client to really draw useful ANSI graphics. But I hadn't time to really play with it.

    It will take some time to test everything. especially the new stuff. I just came back from the Christmas visit at my mothers.
    Do we have some documentation for the collab server and MCP server feature. i guess i will find out myself and just download the 0.5.0

    Thanks for doing all the work to create this amazing software! I appreciate it!
