Shotwell moving along

Uncategorized, ,

I have released 0.25.0 on Monday.

Contrast Tool

contrast-toolA new feature that was included is a contrast slider in the enhancement tool, moving on with integrating patches hanging around on Bugzilla for quite some time.

SSL certificate handlingcertificate-warning

A second enhancement that was introduced is the option to override invalid SSL certificates. This is currenly only available in the Piwigo publisher and might be added to Gallery3 in future, i.e. all services that might be self-hosted on self-signed cerfificates.

 

Enhanced ACDSEE support

0.25 introduces the support of reading ACDSEE’s proprietary image tags such as titles, categories and hierarchical tags!
If you want to try it, there’s a new, unstable, PPA for Shotwell at https://launchpad.net/~yg-jensge/+archive/ubuntu/shotwell-unstable

SystemD conf 2016

I will be giving a presentation at this year’s systemd conf in Berlin. If you ever wondered what the hell I am doing during the day, there’s your chance to get a glimpse 🙂

GUPnP going 1.0!

Parts of GUPnP (that is its core, GSSDP and GUPnP itself) will see a 1.0 release together with the next GNOME release. They are quite stable API-wise and functionality-wise now and I think it’s time to give them a proper blessing for that.
After that, master will become more unstable in regards of API, as there are some long-standing bugs and fixes that need an API change as well as new features to be added, such as proper IPv6 support, support for more recent versions of the UPnP standard (UDA 1.1, UDA 2.0), a more GIO-like async API,…

Rygel

We’ve been digging up some annoying age-old bugs or regressions deep down in Rygel for some corner-cases (Did you know that renderer unmute was broken since 2013?)

Shotwell

Some more usability fixes on their way, but the big roadblock of RAW import performance is still proving to be quite annoying. Bit like a hydra, really. You cut of one RAW developer, three new seem to disappear.

Project Lazarus: GtkTerm

I took GtkTerm and poked a bit at its source, mainly for two reasons

  • Dry-run some GTK modernisation that will be necessary in Shotwell as well (GAction etc.)
  • It’s the least worst (sic) of the graphical serial terminals I tried. At least it seems to cope way better with odd USB <-> Serial adapters than t rest of the bunch
  • I use it

Ok, that’s three reasons.
If you want to have a look, head over to its repository at https://github.com/phako/gtkterm

Rygel/Shotwell/GUADEC

  • Rygel is currently mainly receiving maintenance things because reason. This is hopefully changing soonish
  • I picked up Shotwell as maintainer and things are coming along nicely, though its architecture sometimes makes changes that sound really easy very hard (e.g. certain import performance improvements). Most annoying part, though, is that the merging of the awesome map feature is somewhat affected by the recent woes regarding MapQuest’s tile server
  • I’m going to be at GUADEC during its core days

That’s all for now.
