Shutter 0.90 released

Posted by on Dec 19, 2012 in Allgemein, Blog, News, release | 18 comments

This release fixes bugs and removes some error prone (or unused) features.

Code removal

  • Application

In order to keep Shutter’s codebase easier to maintain we’ve decided to remove some of the error prone features. In fact, we’ve removed the keybinding code (code needs to be written for every single desktop environment) and the Simple Selection Tool (superseeded by the Advanced Selection Tool). I you still want to launch Shutter via hotkey (e.g. Print) we have prepared detailed instructions for the most popular DEs.

  • Plugins

Due to licensing issues it was necessary to remove three plugins (3Dreflection, 3Drotate, bordereffects). The plugins are based on scripts written by Fred Weinhaus and he asked me to remove them from our distribution. If you agree to the license you can still use the plugins. We are preparing a step-by-step-guide.

Improved AppIndicator

This releases adds a new option to show the main window (useful when running Unity).

    hi, on the previous version I used Shutter Xubuntu11.04 had the opportunity to use the right click to choose the size of the shot. After the installation of ver. Xubuntu12.04 Shutter seems to have some problems.. one of them the right click does not work and after trying, it also blocks manually moving and resizing.

      We have removed the imageshack plugin because it was very unstable and broke every now and then.

    Hi all,

    How come the “keyboard” tab doesn’t show. I’ve just installed ver. 0.90.

    Hi! May I ask you to develop export tools for other sites like http://www.uploadscreenshot.com/

    Also, you should add support for bitcoin donations!
