This is a the first development release of the 2.13 series leading

Overview of changes from gthumb 2.12.2 to 2.13.1
================================================

New features and user visible changes:

* New tools: contact sheet creator, find duplicates.
* Print: allow to specify the number of rows and columns; allow to
  specify the header and the footer of the pages.
* Added "Copy to" and "Move to" commands to copy or move files to
  another directory.  You can still accomplish the some task using the
  Copy/Cut/Paste commands.
* Re-added the 2.10 semi-trasparent property box in fullscreen mode.
  The 'i' key shows/hides the property box.
* Re-added ability to view file comments in the file list.
* Preferences dialog: added option to specify the file extension to
  use when creating jpeg and tiff files.
* Added an histogram view to the sidebar.
* Added ability to drag files with the middle mouse button to allow
  the user to choose the action to perform.
* Allow to rename the files in a catalog.
* Added ability to move catalogs with drag&drop.

* Edit metadata dialog: added 'Iptc.Application2.ProvinceState' field
  to the 'Other' tab (Matthew Geier) (#630279)
* Convert and resize: allow to specify a destination folder even when
  the images are from a catalog.

* Crop tool: added a new grid mode to view the center lines of the
  current selection.
