6 Comments

Good afternoon, one and all,

We’re pleased to announce the release of Shotwell 0.13.1. We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.

Among the fixes in this release:

  • Increased robustness against server errors and malformed responses in the publishing subsystem
  • Better support for importing video from some Sony cameras
  • Correction of a problem where the searching and filtering UI could get out of sync with what was being displayed in a user’s library
  • Fixing of a regression in which the Send To feature didn’t work correctly with multiple photos

A tarball of this release can be obtained from http://yorba.org/download/shotwell/0.13/shotwell-0.13.1.tar.xz, and Ubuntu users on Precise Pangolin can obtain a pre-built version from the Yorba PPA; users on Quantal Quetzal or other distributions should have access to pre-built binaries soon through the normal update mechanisms.

Again, thank you for your interest in Shotwell, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let us know or mention them on our mailing list.

gexiv2 0.5.0 released

2 Comments

Good afternoon,

We’re pleased to announce to all of you
A fresh stable version of gexiv2.

As before, we’ve made it with care and affection,
And now, GObject introspection.

And in case it kept you up ’til mornings,
You’ll like the reduced spurious warnings.

Some minor makefile stuff was fixed,
And ‘configure’s perms bug has been nixed.

We think it should help greatly in your hackage,
So please hop on over and download the package.
