We are pleased to announce the release of Shotwell 0.14.1, the first maintenance release in the Shotwell 0.14 family. Shotwell 0.14.1 is a significant update to Shotwell 0.14, boasting the following features:

• Fixes a critical issue where Shotwell could close unexpectedly when working with RAW photos in direct-edit mode
• The Facebook Connector now recovers smoothly from type 7 errors
• EXIF-oriented photos uploaded to Facebook now appear in their correct orientation, even when the strip metadata option is turned on in the Facebook Connector
• Fixes an issue where incorrect view filter settings were applied on tag and event pages
• The Camera Developer is now disabled for RAW images that lack a suitable paired or embedded JPEG
• Updated translations for many languages, including an updated Catalan translation that corrects a problem where incorrect event dates could be displayed
• Assorted smaller bug fixes

The Shotwell 0.14.1 tarball is available for download immediately. Ubuntu users can also find pre-packaged binaries for Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and Ubuntu Quantal (12.10) on the Yorba PPA. Shotwell 0.14.x will ship as the default photo manager in the upcoming Ubuntu Raring (13.04) release. Raring users will receive Shotwell 0.14.1 as part of their normal software update process.
