Shutter 0.87.3 released

Posted by Romario on Jul 4, 2011 in Blog, release | 7 comments

Shutter 0.87.3 is mostly a bugfix release, but also adds two useful new features. With this version one of the oldest bugs will be fixed.

Good things come to those who wait

With this version one of the oldest bugs will be fixed. In earlier versions it was not possible to capture the “real” cursor image (the standard cursor was used instead).  In many situations this was an acceptable solution, but it was very annoying when details matter, e.g. when creating manuals.

Show in folder

Another small – but useful – feature is the Show in folder function. It allows you to open your file browser at the screenshot’s location.

Bugfixes

The other changes are mainly bug fixes that make the experience even better. As an example, Shutter now supports gnome-web-photo >= 0.10 (shipped with Ubuntu 11.04).

Future plans

The next releases (0.88.x) will focus on re-implementing the upload functionality and adding more and more services (e.g. image hosters like imgur.com) to Shutter.

 

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. Updates for other distributions will be available soon.
