There are no Ubuntu changes (current alpha2 version is taken directly from Debian).

[Luka Renko (lure)]

I would like to request FeatureFreeze exception for alpha3 version of geekie. This version has proper support for newer version of exiv2 (0.18) and is required to get exiv2 0.18 into Jaunty - see bug 309684.

Since we have currently alpha2 release, I would suspect the risk of going with alpha3 should be small enough.

I have performed a test-build in pbuilder/amd64 with exiv2 0.17 to ensure that it is compatible with current version as well as test build with exiv2 0.18 (which we want to gt in Januty) in my PPA.

I have testet clean install and upgrade from current version and it works w/o problems.

What new features would this bring?

[Luka Renko (lure)]

Extensive list of changes between alpha2 and alpha3 is available here:
http://geeqie.wiki.sourceforge.net/new_features

I am not user of geeqie, so I cannot judge how big this changes are (and associated risks), I can only assume that users will anyway accept some risk as the release is Alpha anyhow.
I suggest this FFe primarily due to high want to get exiv2 0.18 (and alpha2 does not work with it).

Paste of changelog from web page, just for the record.

New features in alpha3

    * Marks filtering
    * Marks in iconview were made clickable
    * Add an option named layout.home_path which modifies the behavior of the Home button.
      By default, pressing this button goes to the user's home directory.
      When this option is set to a path, this path is used instead.
      One can change the option value through Preferences > Advanced > Navigation
      or directly in .geeqierc.
    * Allow to override documentation paths through options:
      - documentation.helpdir
      - documentation.htmldir
      Default values are set at configure time.
    * Run image loader in separate thread - improved speed on dual-core processors
    * Add a Save button to Preferences dialog, which allow to save options to file without quitting the application.
    * Allow to change image.scroll_reset_method in Preferences > Image.
    * Allow all Preferences pages to scroll vertically.
    * use SHIFT for connected scroll and zoom
      SHIFT + keys or mouse: affects all split windows
      keys or mouse: affects only active window
      CONTROL + mouse: moves fast (originally it was SHIFT + mouse)
    * Add support for GPSInfo - patch by Klaus Ethgen
    * Implement the search for image comment - patch by Klaus Ethgen
    * Added option to use exif thumbnails
      - it requires exiv2 0.18 or the current svn
      - it is disabled by default because the exif thumbnails
      may be outdated if the image was edited
    * Add a button for each advanced entry in Properties Exif Panel that allow to remove it from display.
    * Custom exif look was improved: toggle instead of button,display description instead of property key
    * Let Create thumbnails start in current directory (fallback to home directory if not available) as requested by Marcin Zajaczkowski (feature request 2166691)
    * Do a gtk_init before the parsing of command line arguments to allow gtk specific options, see http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.14/gtk-running.html
    * Html documentation was reformatted
    * When more than one image is selected, Split Horizontal, Vertical and Quad will use selected images when initialized
    * Hide .gqv extension from collection name in collection window title and recent menu list
    * .pef .dng and .arw extensions were added to default sidecar extensions list, .k25 was added in Kodak raw extensions
    * Display error dialog with appropriate message when user is trying to open an invalid collection file
    * Allow to invert the current selection in Collection view. A new Selection submenu was added to the contextual menu, Select All and Select None were moved to it, and Invert selection was added.
    * Allow to drag keywords on files in list or icon view. Dragged text is appended to keywords list of the destination file.
    * Switch to fullscreen when double clicking on file in icon or list view (feature request 1966042)
    * New option: metadata.save_legacy_IPTC ("Store keywords and comments also in legacy IPTC tags")
    * New option: metadata.warn_on_write_problems ("Warn if the image files are unwritable")
    * New option: metadata.s...

What testing of the package have you done?

[Luka Renko (lure)]

I have performed basic testing of functionality:
- various zooming options
- tried different UI layout preferences
- tested all Adjust options (mirror, flip, rotate, grayscale...)

I do not see any obvious issue, but as I said I do not use this application normally, therefore I may not give it the best test run.

[Iulian Udrea (iulian)]

ACK #1

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

I'm ok with it, ACK #2. Please make sure to watch out for bug reports once it's synced, ok?

[Luka Renko (lure)]

Iulian, Stefan, Scott: thanks for your review. Will subscribe to bug mail of geeqie for at least Jaunty cycle.
