Hi all,

We are pleased to announce new releases of the image apps project,
containing major improvements.

What's new  ?

Preview 0.7.5 :
* Preview display checkered background with alpha images
* Fixed Window size when image is bigger than the screen
* When the image is bigger than the window you can move
around the image into the window...

SlideShow 0.3 :
* New cache system using D.O.
* You can "mark" images
* You can use services with the browser ( to archive you marked images 
for example ..)
* You can recursively parse a directory to find images
* You can open images/directory from services (from File Manager ...)
* Added a timer to Play/stop the slide show
* Lot of bugs fixed and code cleaned up
* New general  Preference


Pixen for GNUstep 0.1 ( www.opensword.org/Pixen )
* Updated lot of gorm files
* Remove many preproc...
* Cleaned up PXBackgroundController and remove hardcode paths

* Cleaned up PXAbouPalette*
* Cleaned up Main Menu and have Right/left Tools properties working

GNUstep lacks NSReadPixel support, it would be nice is someone would
 find the time to implement it ...


Stefan is quite busy these days. I will try to commit some small fixes 
for ViewPDF
before the next release.

Camera & CameraKit is orphaned.
We received patches but we are looking for maintainers.
