[Shotwell] Call for testing, round 2

[Jim Nelson]

Hello all,

We're really excited about the response we received this week to our call
for testing -- you all really worked the code paths, and I want to thank you
for that.  Some of the issues you've brought to our attention we've ticketed
for the next release, but we worked hard this week to resolve the most
egregious ones.

We've changed how events are displayed in the event views.  The key photos
are now squared off with rounded corners, displaying their names and the
number of photos they contain.  We think this will go a long way toward
distinguishing an event from a photo.

We've also fixed a number of bugs relating to how EXIF data was detected and
parsed.  Thanks to all our testers out there who sent us sample photos which
exhibited these problems.  We've fixed up the code and think we're in good
shape now.

We've also worked on the importing code, to skip over non-image files and to
better handle fatal disk errors (including disk full).

These, plus a number of smaller bug fixes, means Shotwell has changed quite
a bit in the last four days.  We'd *really* appreciate it if you could
update your source and bang on the latest version.  We plan on shipping 0.4
next week, and we want to shake out as many bugs as possible between now and
then.  To fetch the latest and greatest from our Subversion repository:

svn co svn://svn.yorba.org/shotwell/branches/shotwell-0.4

I'd also like to put out a call again for translations -- we're behind quite
a bit, and any assistance you or someone you know can offer would be greatly
appreciated.  Visit our Transifex page for more information:

Thanks everyone!
