ANNOUNCE: Eye of Gnome Eye of Gnome 2.3.0

[Jens Finke <jens triq net>]

Hello lovers of one-eyed creatures,

a new release of your favourite image viewing application is out.

Application
===========

Eye of Gnome 2.3.0

Description
===========

Eye of Gnome is the default image viewer for the Gnome Desktop. This
development release is the first version after the fundamental re-design of
this application. Beside the general image viewing component (which is also
used by the Nautilus filemanager), there is now a first version of a photo
collection view. Of course, this can be also used inside Nautilus eg. for
watching slide shows. Optionally, Eye of Gnome can make use of EXIF
information, stored in digital camera images (see README for more details).


I really encourage everyone to try this release out and report bugs and
feature enhancements to bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org, module EOG).
