Eye of GNOME 2.20.0

["Lucas Rocha" <lucasr gnome org>]

Hi all,

This is the first stable release of Eye of GNOME (EOG) as part of the GNOME 2.20
major release. The 2.20 release is very special for EOG as it's the first one
with a complete rewrite/refactoring of its core. This means that GNOME now has
a much improved image viewer. There lots of cool new features (see bellow), we
really hope you all enjoy! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to
this release,
specially to EOG's team members, Claudio and Felix.

* What is it ?
==============

Eye of GNOME (EOG) is the image viewer for the GNOME desktop.

New features:

    maintanable, faster image viewer for GNOME
