Shutter 0.70.2 is out, fixing seven discovered issues as reported by our users.
This is the second and last release in the 0.70.x release series; the next 0.80 release will be focusing on improving the drawing tool – including an “Undo” feature, double-clicking to update items, a crop tool and instant-apply for property changes (for example, line width, color, and etc. will be updated as soon as you set a new option – this allows real-time “preview”).
If you’ve added the Shutter Ubuntu repository, you’ll be notified about an update automatically – otherwise, see our downloads page for ArchLinux, Fedora, Mandriva, Mepis packages and the source code.

Shutter 0.70.1 is a purely bugfix release that doesn’t add any new features, so it wasn’t even worthy of being called 0.71.
If you’ve subscribed to the Ubuntu repository, you’ll be prompted about an update being available automatically – otherwise, check the downloads page for individual packages. Maintainers of other distributions have been notified, so updates for that will be available soon.
Here is the list of issued fixed:
-- LP: #260771
[Detect 'window-manager-changed' event]
-- LP: #328654
[Weird paths after uploading]
-- LP: #338829
[Uploading to imageshack is broken]

Version 0.70 of Shutter is now available! Get it before the server overloads 
This is the first release of Shutter as it is – we’ve just renamed it from GScrot. So you’ll now find it called Shutter inder Applications ▸ Accessories, along with a nicer new logo (thanks to Pascal Grochol for the design).
The software has been improved and streamlined, as well as the name – we think “shutter” more accurately relates to what you’ll be doing alongside the software itself. The new software can be downloaded pretty quickly, so if you’re on an o2 broadband line you’ll be fine. Feel free to give us any feedback – there’s a lot of new things happening in this version, which we’ll explain more about now.
Major updates in this release are printing support, support for a whole lot of formats to save pictures in, support for watching changes to files (open the screenshot externally in gimp, save it – and shutter updates its copy), integration with GVFS (you can upload sites that you’ve connected to via Places ▸ Connect), better recognition for programs that can open a picture, faster thumbnail creation, and improved dialogs!
Digg this too!
