libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels, so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. libcaca library is not unlike the famous AAlib library, with the following improvements:

Unicode support
4096 available colours (some devices can only handle 16)
dithering of colour images
advanced text canvas operations (blitting, rotations)

Libcaca works in a text terminal (and should thus work on all Unix systems including Mac OS X) using the S-Lang or ncurses libraries. It also works natively on DOS and Windows.

What's New in This Release:
The C++ bindings, the ANSI/UTF-8 importers, and the canvas resizer were fixed.
The ncurses and the S-Lang driver now support setting the window title.
A few other minor bugs were fixed.
