<p>Dear all digiKam users,</p>
<p>the team is really proud to deliver just in time for Xmas the final 0.9.3 version. </p>
<p>The tarball can downloaded from SourceForge at <span style="text-decoration:underline;color:#003bfd">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42641</span></p>
<p>Many, many thanks go to Gilles, Marcel, Arnd, Mik, Fabien and all the others who worked hard to create this great new release. This release sends a big parcel of useability improvements under your Xmas tree: If it was not already, organizing and navigation have become a snap now with the quick filters, drag&drop and GOTO features on top of an optimized lightable.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:600;text-decoration:underline">NEW FEATURES (since 0.9.2):</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline">AlbumGUI</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:600;color:#497fb2">Drag&Drop</span> : D&D from anywhere into album tree. When the albumview is flattened (x Include Album Sub-tree) images can be d&ded across horizontal separations. That one satisfies wish #142774.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight:600;color:#497fb2">GOTO</span> : A new quick navigation feature has been added: it is now possible (by RMB context menu) to GOTO any other view with pertinent context, e.g. from date view right-click on an image and GOTO the Album or Tag view that this image is associated with. Try any other combination. That covers wish #128231.</p>
