Version 0.7.1 of KSquirrel, an image viewer for KDE which uses OpenGL, and its associated libraries have been released. Changes to the application include:
- Context menu in file manager has proper content (bug affected KDE 3.5)
- KIO-Slaves support (SMB, tar etc), adding the ability to search several new archive types
- Thumbnails on non-local filesystems
- Status bar improvements
- Hotkeys in image window do not depend on keyboard layout
- History combo-box shows MIME types
- Bug-fixes in slideshow
- New thumbnails cache directory (remove old thumbnails from ~/.ksquirrel/thumbnails)
- Image rotation with EXIF
- KIPI plugins can be loaded on demand
- F2 to rename files
- Thumbnail loader now Freedesktop.org spec compliant
- Other small bug-fixes
Changes to the libraries:
- Added XFIG (transfig package is required)
- Added Degas PI3
- TTF codec is designed for Freetype 2.2.1 (it should work at least in Debian Etch)
- CAMERA codec now uses dcraw v8.77 without modifications, which doesn't violate dcraw license
- Bug-fixes in scripts
Screenshots here, downloads (source only at present) here. Requires KDE 3.3 and OpenGL.
