Hi all,

We are pleased to announce new releases of the image apps project,
containing major improvements.

What's new ?

Preview 0.7.5 :

• Preview display checkered background with alpha images
• Fixed Window size when image is bigger than the screen
• When the image is bigger than the window you can move

around the image into the window...

SlideShow 0.3 :

• New cache system using D.O.
• You can "mark" images
• You can use services with the browser ( to archive you marked images for example ..)
• You can recursively parse a directory to find images
• You can open images/directory from services (from File Manager ...)
• Added a timer to Play/stop the slide show
• Lot of bugs fixed and code cleaned up
• New general Preference

Pixen for GNUstep 0.1 ( http://www.opensword.org/Pixen )

• Updated lot of gorm files
• Remove many preproc...
• Cleaned up PXBackgroundController and remove hardcode paths
• Cleaned up PXColorPalette* and remove hardcode paths
• Cleaned up PXAbouPalette*
• Cleaned up Main Menu and have Right/left Tools properties working
• Added Layer Panel

• Grid Settings is mostly working

GNUstep lacks NSReadPixel support, it would be nice is someone would
find the time to implement it ...

Stefan is quite busy these days. I will try to commit some small fixes for ViewPDF
before the next release.

Camera & CameraKit is orphaned.
We received patches but we are looking for maintainers.

You can download all applications and frameworks at:

Bug-reports, suggestions and patches are always welcome (as well as
sucess-stories)

Fabien, Stefan
