Hi Shotwell Fans, Shotwell 0.14.0 is soon to be released! This upcoming version of Shotwell packs a ton of new features, including:
* A folder tree in the sidebar provides a directory-hierarchy view of your Shotwell library * Dramatically improved user experience for RAW photographers—long-standing bugs involving RAW developer switching have been fixed * Comprehensive logging of photo and video import, including the ability to save an import log file to disk. The log tracks which files were detected as duplicates as well as files that couldn't be imported due to disk or camera problems. * The Facebook Connector now uses the Facebook Graph API, resulting in a smoother, more stable experience uploading photos and videos to Facebook. As a bonus, Shotwell photo titles now appear as Facebook photo captions! * The Shotwell video subsystem now relies on GStreamer 1.0, making for easier, more stable video import, better video thumbnails, and better handling of video metadata * New slideshow effects, improved Piwigo support, the ability to show and hide the main Shotwell sidebar, and more... You can help us make Shotwell 0.14.0 the most stable Shotwell ever by downloading the current development snapshot and testing it. To get and test the latest code, you'll need to either pull from Shotwell git master and build from source or, if you're on Ubuntu, install a Shotwell daily build from the Yorba daily builds PPA. Pulling from Shotwell git master should be as easy as executing $ git clone git://yorba.org/shotwell on your system, and then building as usual with $ ./configure $ make # make install For Ubuntu users, the Shotwell daily builds PPA is located here: https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/daily-builds As always, we suggest backing up your Shotwell database before testing pre-release code. You can learn how to do this by reading the "How can I back up my Shotwell library?" section of the Shotwell FAQ here: http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/wiki/ShotwellFAQ Cheers, Lucas ----------------------- Lucas Beeler Shotwell Technical Lead Yorba Foundation San Francisco, California _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
