KIPI-PLUGINS 0.1.0-RC1 -----------------

New in this version is the flickr upload plugin:
you can now easily upload  your images to the
flickr server. Sendimages now has support for
Thunderbird  and GmailAgent. We fixed numerous
bugs in the CDArchiving plugin, it should  work
fine again with K3b. Rename images had some
issues, we rewrote the user  interface and fixed
several bugs. The weekdays of the calendar were
not  localized. We fixed the ImagesGallery, so you
can export multiple tags to a  html-page. You can
now rotate or flip your images lossless, while
preserving  the timestamp. The rawconverter now
supports dcraw>=6.x.
