New Version of Jing for Windows and Mac

TechSmith today introduced an improved version of Jing both for Mac and the Windows platform.

Jing [review] is a free software for capturing image screenshots as well as movies of software, also known as screencasts.

Think of Jing as a mix of SnagIt and Camtasia Studio  but TechSmith is not charging anything at the moment.

Here's a summary of new features introduced in Jing v1.2.6.

• Links shared via MSN Messenger should no longer be blocked. Earlier MSN would block URL that had an .scr extension.
• For users with more than one Screencast.com account, you can change which one Jing is logged into, via the Preferences in the More window.
• Jing now shows progress bar during an upload, and uploads can be canceled. They can be restarted via the History window.
• Jing is now usable with high DPI displays or with Windows "Large Fonts" enabled. [Windows Only]
