New in Shutter 0.80.1 (Aug 7, 2009)

  • Shutter 0.80.1 is a bugfix release concentrating on 8 annoyances reported by our users, but there are some interesting improvements as well.
  • New icons and cursors in the editor
  • In order to improve the usability and to help you creating more precise drawings we added a set of new cursors (inpired / borrowed from the inkscape project). Additionally we changed some of the old tool-icons to achieve a much more professional look.
  • Insert cursors, hundreds of tango graphics and explore your current icon theme
  • If you are using icons and images to highlight parts of your screenshots as much as I do you’ll like the following changes.
  • It is now possible to import all possible tango icons (separated by categories), cursors and even icons of your current icon theme.

New in Shutter 0.80 (Jul 7, 2009)

  • Great things come to those who wait. Shutter 0.80 brings a host of new and important features, existing plugins, bugfixes and translation updates.
  • Undo / Redo support in the editor
  • Shutters screenshot editor now features undo capability - making it much more forgiving against accidents, and allowing for easier experimentation. This also makes it a rather complete screenshot-oriented image editor, and as far as we know, the first of its kind on Linux ;)
  • New tools in the editor
  • The editor also received several useful tools - arrow shape, highlighter, numbered tags, crop tool, and a resizable canvas.
  • The arrow is a tool of it's own now - previously it was an image, which wasn't convenient to access frequently and had some complications when using. Now it's available on the left toolbar, and functions similarly to the line too.
  • The highlighter tool, as it's name implies, is useful for highlighting. While a pencil tool with a large line width, some transparency and a yellow color does the same job, it was inconvenient to switch the color setup from the standard to the 'highlighting' mode and back. Now the highlighter is a tool of it's own, with a nice cursor, making it easier and faster to highlight. Big thanks to Richard Querin of the Inkscape Screencasters fame for providing us with the nice highlighter icon.
  • Numbered tags - ah, what Shutter was made originally for - aiding in documentation process. Numbered tags stamp a number (that's auto-incremented each time you use it) on the screenshot, allowing you to clearly detail the steps needed to take in a graphical interface.
  • Crop tool allows you to crop your screenshot ala advanced selection tool for screen capture. You draw a box of the area you'd like to leave, crop, and everything outside of the box is removed with the canvas auto-sized to the new dimensions.
  • The canvas is now resizable - allowing you to extend it's dimensions beyond the original screenshot resolution for moar more stuff, or sizing it down for less stuff. Do as you please! You are the king/queen.
  • Besides that, the editor also received various improvements like a built-in fullscreen mode and an option to clear all the objects you've added. The ability open your recently used files has been added to the main window as well.
  • New plugins
  • That's right! Now you've got more neat effects to apply to your screenshots.
  • Watermark - quite a common function. Add your copyrights, location, project website on your screenshot - now without complex pixel manipulation and within Shutter.
  • Reflection - applies a fading reflection at the bottom of the image, giving it a stylish look.
  • Distortion adds the "fish eye" effect by bulging out the middle of the image.
  • 3d rotate - allows you to rotate the image on all three (x, y, z) axis in 3d. Add a new depth to your screenshots!

New in Shutter 0.70.2 (Mar 25, 2009)

  • This is the second and last release in the 0.70.x release series; the next 0.80 release will be focusing on improving the drawing tool - including an “Undo” feature, double-clicking to update items, a crop tool and instant-apply for property changes (for example, line width, color, and etc. will be updated as soon as you set a new option - this allows real-time “preview”).
  • If you’ve added the Shutter Ubuntu repository, you’ll be notified about an update automatically - otherwise, see our downloads page for ArchLinux, Fedora, Mandriva, Mepis packages and the source code.
  • Full changelog:
  • fixed bugs
  • LP: #339139

New in Shutter 0.70.1 (Mar 11, 2009)

  • Shutter 0.70.1 is a purely bugfix release that doesn't add any new features, so it wasn't even worthy of being called 0.71.

New in Shutter 0.70 (Mar 6, 2009)

  • This is the first release of Shutter as it is - we’ve just renamed it from GScrot. So you’ll now find it called Shutter inder Applications ▸ Accessories, along with a nicer new logo (thanks to Pascal Grochol for the design).
  • Major updates in this release are printing support, support for a whole lot of formats to save pictures in, support for watching changes to files (open the screenshot externally in gimp, save it - and shutter updates its copy), integration with GVFS (you can upload sites that you’ve connected to via Places ▸ Connect), better recognition for programs that can open a picture, faster thumbnail creation, and improved dialogs!
