Shotwell users,
The development of Shotwell 0.12 is nearly complete, and we plan to
release 0.12 in the next couple of weeks. There might be a few bugs
still hiding in there, so now would be a great time for any of you to
build Shotwell from trunk, test and give us your feedback.
New features since 0.11 include:
- a new straighten tool
- migrated from GTK 2 to GTK 3 (a large change that touched many places
in the code)
- Flickr login now uses OAuth authentication
- Plugins can now implement new import sources. F-Spot import is now
implemented via such a plugin. (Maybe someone will write a digiKam
import plugin soon.)
- Shotwell now imports only photos from the DCIM directory on Android
devices
- saved searches can exclude all photos tagged with a given string
- many bug fixes
We just issued a development release (0.11.93) which includes all
changes to date, and which will be pushed to Fedora 17 and Ubuntu 12.04
(Precise) users soon. So if you're using one of those prerelease
operating systems, you should receive this build automatically.
Otherwise, it's not hard to build Shotwell from trunk - see
http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source . To build from trunk you'll
need the following prerequisites:
- Vala 0.15.2
- a relatively new version of gexiv2, either version 0.3.91 (available
at http://www.yorba.org/download/gexiv2/0.3/) or pulled from git
- librest, which is a new Shotwell dependency. (On Ubuntu, for example,
you want the librest-dev package.)
If you're having trouble building, feel free to ask for help here.
If you do find bugs, please feel free to report them on this mailing
list and/or file tickets at Yorba Redmine. Thanks!
adam
