We've been working diligently on Shotwell 0.8 and are looking to begin
wrapping up this release.  Several exciting features have been added as well
smaller additions and bug fixes.  This release includes such features as:

* Video support, including uploading videos to various Web services
(including YouTube)
* Runtime monitoring and auto-import of the library directory
* Metadata (tags, titles, rating) written to master files automatically
* Flagging files for batch operations
* Set multiple photos to desktop background slideshow
* ... and more!

We could use your help.  We need people to run Shotwell through its paces so
we can make this release as rock-solid as possible.  If you're interested,
follow the directions here for getting the source and building it:

Please note that Shotwell will *not* build with Vala 0.11.  Use Vala 0.10.1
if possible (Vala 0.9.7 is the minimum version).

If you find bugs or issues -- anything that seems odd -- please feel free to
report them here on the mailing list or via our Trac ticketing system at:

Thanks for your continued support!
