Overview of changes from gthumb 2.11.1 to 2.11.2
================================================

New features and user visible changes:

* Added the "convert format" tool, the "change date" tool, the
"resize image" tool.
* Added a Picasa Web importer and exporter.
* Added ability to specify a list of audio files to play during a
slideshow, and to personalize the slidehoshow options for each
catalog.
* Create the "command line" catalog if more than a file is specified
at command line.
* Photo importer: always use the "Last imported" special catalog
instead of creating a new catalog for each import operation;
added ability to specify a custom format, the custom format consists
of the strftime format plus the %E code which is used to specify the
event name.
* Rename files: added %D and %M for file dates; allow to specify a
custom date format; use %A instead of %attr for the generic attribute.

* Allow to disable comment synchronization with embedded metadata.
(#604720)
* Allow to view an image directly in fullscreen mode double-clicking
with the middle mouse button.
* Changed some key accelerators: control+delete to move the
selected files to the trash; control+shift+delete to delete the
selected files.
* Used a preloader to speed-up image loading during a slideshow.
* Added icons to the image tools.
