Avatars
-------
If you have not experienced Synchronet's new Avatars feature yet, you're
missing out. Join in the fun (compatible with Synchronet v3.16 and later):

Fonts
-----
SyncTERM v1.0 has supported alternate and loadable fonts for years now and
we've failed to make this feature easily available for use by Synchronet
sysops. That is now fixed (compatible with Synchronet v3.16 and later):

XBimages
--------
If you've logged into Vertrauen lately using SyncTERM, you might've noticed
some "images flashing by". This isn't "ANSI art", but rather bitmap images
scraped off the web and plastered into custom downloaded fonts and displayed in
your character-based terminal! See
http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:xbin
And on the horizon...
---------------------
Deuce has been inspired (challenged?) to enable even more cool features in
SyncTERM 1.1 (or whatever the next version number will be after 1.0, but
currently called 1.1b):
- custom palletes (traditional XBin files look awesome!)
- hi-res/hi-color graphics
(
https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel/blob/master/README.md)
A lot of major changes are underway under the SyncTERM hood, so be sure to keep
v1.0 or whatever version you're happy with handy if you decide to play with the
current development builds (of SyncTERM). Stability will come with time and
testing.
Enjoy!
