[Shotwell] Shotwell 0.8.0 - A GNOME Photo Manager

[Jim Nelson]

Yorba has released Shotwell 0.8.0, a major update to our digital photo
manager.  This release includes some great new features, such as:

* Video support for most major video formats, including importing them off
of camera and adding them to events and tags.

* Publish videos to major Web services, including YouTube, Flickr, Facebook,
and PicasaWeb.

* Runtime monitoring of library directory and auto-import of newly created
files.

* Background writing of metadata (tags, titles, ratings, orientation, and
exposure date) to master files (user-configurable).

* Flagging photos for batch operations.

* Set multiple photos to desktop background slideshow.

* Numerous translation updates.

* Various bug fixes.

We highly recommend that all Shotwell users upgrade.

Yorba would like to thank all of our bug testers and translators, without
whom this release would not have been possible.

Binaries for Ubuntu Maverick users will be available shortly on Yorba's
Launchpad PPA (https://launchpad.net/~yorba/+archive/ppa<https://launchpad.net/%7Eyorba/+archive/ppa>
).
