Shotwell friends and fans,

We've made a number of changes (some small, some not so small) to the 
Shotwell trunk since our last call for testing early last week.  We're 
currently fixing the last few known issues and are planning to release 
Shotwell 0.6 next week.  The release will be very similar to the current 
trunk code.

For all of you who are interested in Shotwell 0.6, now would be a great 
time to test the trunk more to make sure we haven't missed anything 
important.  The following features are new in Shotwell 0.6 and so it 
would be especially useful to try these out:

* Basic RAW support
* Image zooming
* PNG support
* Importing and exporting captions and tags via EXIF, IPTC, and XMP
* Edit with external editor
* Trash folder
* User-specified library directory
* Preferences dialog

Full documentation for the new release is available at 
http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/UsingShotwell0.6 .

If you're interested, follow the directions here for getting the source 
and building it:

If you find bugs or issues -- anything that seems odd -- please feel 
free to report them here on the mailing list or via our Trac ticketing 
system at:

Thanks, and looking forward to the 0.6 release!
