jDvi is a viewer for TeX's generic output format known as dvi. jDvi is written in JAVA. It comes as an application and as an applet to place dvi files on the web. Besides the core functionality it

• knows hyperlinks (inner document and external) as provided by the LaTeX hyperref package
• renders color just like dvips
• places gifs or jpeg images for PostScript figures
• can place JAVA applets in a similar way than figures.
• has a scribble mode that allows to make annotaions to the document. The application can even save them.

For a complete list of features see the documentation.

jDvi is free software. The source code will be made available as soon as I brought it to a human readable form.

New features and bug fixes

• Scribble mode with text tool
• fixed a bug in the character spacing
• colors work over page breaks
• background colors work
