[Kde-extra-gear] [kde-announce] Digikam 0.7.1 beta1 released

[Caulier Gilles]

The digiKam team is pleased to announce digiKam version 0.7.1 beta1. 

Past weeks we have worked hard to fix several bugs, update the documentation, 
add new plugins and some nice new features. We have added album history 
navigation, non-blocking thumbnail loading and exif rotation, title based 
painting routines for the ImageEditor canvas and auto album creation while 
downloading photos. A more complete list can be found below.

This release is a beta release, that means that we request users to test this 
version of digiKam and report bugs. We have planned to make a final release 
just before the end of this year.
