This is a maintenance update for digiKam

digiKam Software Collection, a digital photo management application that is primarily aimed at the KDE desktop, has been upgraded once and is now available for download.

Linux users might forget that digiKam is a multiplatform application, and many of the changes and improvements in this latest iteration are actually for Mac OS X. Still, there are a quite a few fixes that have landed for Linux users as well, making this version a maintenance release.

"This release is the result of huge bugs triage on KDE bugzilla where more than 250 files have been closed as duplicate, invalid, or upstream states," said the devs in the official announcement.

Most of the release is focused on Mac OS X, so there aren't any major points of interest. In any case, it's worth remembering that digiKam might work best on KDE, but it can be used in other desktop environments.

The complete changelog for digiKam can be found on the official website, although it's just a ton of various small fixes. You can download digiKam 4.11.0 sources right now from Softpedia, but you will need to compile them. It's best if you install this complex app from the official repositories, for your particular Linux distribution.
