digiKam 0.9.0-beta2 and digiKamImagePlugins 0.9.0-beta2 are out there: catch them!

[F.J.Cruz]

Here we go again: another step beyond on the path to the first stable release
of the 0.9 series for digiKam and digikamImagePlugins.

After a period of hard and intensive work, the digiKam community brings to you
all the new digiKam and DigikamImagePlugins 0.9.0-beta2 releases with some
new features, and others have been improved:

- New option to start image sequence number index with a custom value.
 
- New option to add camera name to target download file name.
 
- New option to create download folder per file format (e.g. JPG and CR2)
 
- New option to set date format of auto-created albums.
 
- New option to process a batch creation of all albums items thumbnails.
 
- New option to set image as tag thumbnail on Tag Filters View using D&D.
 
- New option to set a matching condition to use between tags in Tag Filters
View (OR or AND condition).
 
- New color scheme theme 'Digikasa' from Sergio Di Rio Mare


 And a lot of bugs have been fixed since the 0.9.0-beta1 release:

- 121691 : Problems with Downloading images from Camera.
 
- 131034 : Display a mini-view of the photo currently transferred, i.e. better
visual feedback.
 
- 131603 : Orientation of RAW-images (especially Canons *.cr2)
 
- 131532 : Minolta exception code can break EXIF rotation
 
- 131550 : digikam/showfoto can't show jpeg image under PowerPC
 
- 131549 : endianess problem under Linux-PowerPC (with png images at least)

Amos, you point to the current NEWS and TODO file witch are relevant of the
next beta3 release.

Paco point to the revision files relevant of beta2 only. And we talking about
beta2, not beta3 here (:=)))... This can be confuse to user if he see beta3
fix in NEWS file and he try beta2 tarballs.

I see.

I was more after the phrase which saind something to the effect of
"tracking NEWS and what was DONE", which wouldn't change if the URL
points to a particular file revision.

Cheers,

Sorry, but I don't know what you are talking about. As you recommended to me,
I just updated the links from the last beta announce. This is my first
release and announce, so I'm not familiarized with the task. I've just tried
to follow the PACKAGING file.

I want to apologize for any problem or  confusion my errors may have caused
you.

All is fine for me. All links point to the files tagged to the release.
