Download jAlbum 9.6

Version 9.6 of jAlbum has been released. This program makes it easy to generate and edit professional looking HTML photo albums. In a clean interface, photos can be easily edited, the order can be changed and the appearance of the web page can be determined. If everything is to your liking, the result can be placed on a web page via the built-in ftp client. Because the software is developed in Java, jAlbum is available for a wide range of operating systems. The Windows download is bundled with version 1.6.0_25 of the Java runtime this time, because the latest version has a bug that makes the download a lot bigger. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:
