Yorba Foundation, the developers of Shotwell, have announced the immediate availability for download of Shotwell 0.14.1.

Shotwell 0.14.1 is the first maintenance release for this particular branch and it's quite an upgrade from the version released a few weeks ago.

Highlights of Shotwell 0.14.1:

• A critical issue that would cause Shotwell to close unexpectedly, when working with RAW photos in direct-edit mode, has been fixed; • The Facebook Connector now recovers smoothly from type 7 errors; • EXIF-oriented photos uploaded to Facebook now appear in their correct orientation; • An issue that caused the incorrect view filter settings to be applied on tag and event pages; • The Camera Developer is now disabled for RAW images; • Many languages have been updated.

A complete list of changes and new features can be found in the official announcement. The developers also iterated the fact that on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) users will have to add the GStreamer PPA. The latest GStreamer plugins are now a requirement.
