[Digikam-devel] digiKam 0.9.4-beta1 release

[Gerhard Kulzer]

Dear all digiKam fans and users!
The digiKam development team is happy to release 0.9.4-beta1. The digiKam tarball can be downloaded from SourceForge as well.

NEW FEATURES:
General :
 1. Color theme scheme are pervasively applied in graphical interfaces, giving digiKam a real Pro-look when dark schemes are selected.
 1a. Color theme scheme can be changed from either Editor or LightTable.
 2. Updated internal CImg library to last stable 1.2.7 (released at 2008/01/23).
 3. Add capability to display items count in all Album, Date, Tags, and Tags Filter folder views. The number of items contained in virtual or physical albums can be displayed next to its name. If a tree branch is collapsed, parent views sum-up the number of items from all undisplayed children views. Items count is performed in background by digiKam KIO-Slaves.
 A new option from Setup/Album dialog page can toggle on/off this feature.

AlbumGUI :
 4. Add a new tool to perform Date search around whole albums collection: Time-Line.
 Timeline is a new left sidebar tab. It's a great tool complementary to the calendar. Try it out!
 5. In Calendar View, selecting Year album shows all images of the full year.
 6. New status-bar indicator to report album icon view filtering status.
