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.

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.

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.
