[Shotwell] Call for testing: Shotwell 0.9

[Bruce Smith]

Thanks Jim. I've done an initial test as follows.

On Ubuntu 10.10, with libraw-0.12.3, I downloaded Shotwell from svn, and 
the program compiled and executes flawlessly as far as I can determine. 
It handles my Canon RAW files properly.

In various places I can see the visible new features appearing.

Regards
Bruce
