Hi Shotwell Fans, Yorba is pleased to announce that we have a release candidate for Shotwell 0.9.1! Shotwell 0.9.1 fixes several bugs in Shotwell 0.9.0 and should be the release of Shotwell that ships with the next versions of the two major distros -- Ubuntu Natty Narwhal and Fedora Core 15 -- later this Spring! So we're asking all members of the Shotwell community to lend us a hand by testing this new release and reporting any bugs you find.
Since work on Shotwell 0.10 has begun, the Shotwell 0.9.1 release candidate must be checked out from a branch of the Yorba SVN repository, accessible here: svn://svn.yorba.org/shotwell/branches/shotwell-0.9 If you need help building and installing the Shotwell 0.9.1 release candidate from source, instructions are available here: http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source Since this is pre-release software, you might consider backing up your Shotwell library before starting. Instructions are here: http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell/FAQ#HowcanIbackupmyShotwelllibrary Shotwell 0.9.1 fixes these bugs: (#3399) When no publishing plugins are enabled, attempting to publish a mix of photos and videos crashes Shotwell (#3413) Publishing photos to a new Facebook album can sometimes crash Shotwell (#3163) The path of duplicate images might not be displayed correctly during import (#3371) Shotwell reports a directory name, not a filename, when a file fails to import (#3398) When publishing videos to YouTube, Shotwell doesn't correctly handle the case where a user has a valid Google account but hasn't set it up yet for use with YouTube (#3400) Text search in the events directory view should be a keyword search, but is a substring search instead (#3405) The Picasa Web Albums and YouTube publishing plugins could prevent the user from changing to another publishing service under some circumstances (#3412) Changing one's Facebook password while logged into Facebook inside of Shotwell could make the Facebook publisher unusable. (#3414) For enhanced compatibility with GNOME 3, the desktop name of the Shotwell application has changed from "Shotwell Photo Manager" to simply "Shotwell" (#3421) Shotwell now provides a configure script option to set the name of the system library directory to either lib or lib64. This is important for packaging on 64-bit Fedora systems. (#3434) Red-eye reticle is now more visible (#3436) On Ubuntu Natty systems, the Adjust palette could be positioned partially off-screen (#3437) Plugins don't respect --debug switch in configure switch (#3442) Flickr publisher could become unusable if the user revoked Shotwell Connect's permissions while logged into Flickr (#3453) The event containing undated photos could be incorrectly labelled "(null)" in the events directory page As always, thank you for your help and your interest in Shotwell!
