Voilà:

It's a Masterpiece! digiKam & digikamImagePlugins 0.9.0 major release

The digiKam team is very proud to release the final 0.9.0 sources. It is 
complemented by a corresponding digikamImagePlugin release and a kipi-plugins 
introducing enticing new features. 

digiKam has made big headway towards a professional image management tool that 
compares favorably to to heavy weights from Adobe and Apple. 16 bit 
Colormanagement workflow, Raw file support, full Metadata features including 
GPS data, to name only the most important ones. And it remains userfriendly!
All digiKam 0.9.0 features can be seen at this url

The 0.9 series has been under heavy development since November 2005. After 
having published several release candidates, this final version includes many 
bugfixes and the updated internationalization strings.
So, download, compile and enjoy it !
