  • Icy Tools update.

    From BBS ( /u/Open-Understanding48 https://www.reddit.com/user/Open-Understanding48 ) to All on Sat Oct 10 11:05:33 2026

    I've updated all my Icy Tools-and redesigned the UI again. :)
    This round brings a refreshed look, plenty of fixes, new retro graphics editors, and a new addition: IcyMail. Here's what's new:
    IcyTerm 0.9.0
    Redesigned UI and dialing directory. Improved compatibility with newer SyncTERM graphics, sound, and input features. Reworked file-transfer dialogs and fixed ZMODEM download issues. Clipboard fixes and other improvements.

    IcyView 0.9.9
    More supported art, image, and font formats. Tracker music and audio playback. A hideable minimap, improved browsing and previews, and lots of smaller improvements.

    IcyDraw 0.6.0
    Most of the work this time went into IcyDraw: New RIPscrip, IGS, ATASCII, Atari ST VT52, PETSCII, and SkyPix editors. AI drawing assistance and AI-assisted image import. Editable font-based text layers that behave more like text layers in other graphics tools. Improved font management, nested layer groups, and non-destructive layer effects.

    IcyMail 0.1.0 - first release!
    The newest addition is an offline QWK and Blue Wave mail reader, with reply-packet support. I wanted a reader with a UI that's easier to use while still preserving the character of BBS messages and ANSI art. It defaults to a modern reading view, but you can switch to the classic terminal-style display for the full retro feel. :)
