The highlight of this release is probably the new installer, which is now fully automated. Just run:
python3 install.py
and it will take care of downloading and installing the latest version and its dependencies (on Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint, Fedora and openSUSE).
Some good news is that the Debian maintainer for Rapid Photo Downloader, Jörg Frings-Fürst, has a new Debian package in the works.
Full list of changes in this release:
-
Add support for downloading, renaming and backing up log files, which can
be associated with videos made using Magic Lantern. -
Updated program AppData, renaming .desktop and .appdata.xml files to
conform to reversed fully qualified domain name requirements. -
Fixed bug in checking for new stable version.
-
Rearranged order of startup tasks to avoid rare bug where the user
interface is not initialized before devices are handled. -
Updated install script to automatically download latest version and
run interactively only if asked to. -
Updated install.py script to allow installation on Debian buster/sid.
-
Install PyQt5 from PyPi on x86_64 platforms with Python 3.5 or 3.6,
avoiding segfaults on exit in Fedora and missing program icons in some
Linux distributions. -
To be able to generate video thumbnails for a wider range of video formats,
on Debian-like Linux distributions and Fedora, where possible the
install.py script installs the packages gstreamer-libav and
gstreamer-plugins-good. -
With rawkit 0.6.0 now supporting libraw 0.18, recent Linux distributions
like Fedora 26 and Ubuntu 17.04 / 17.10 can now render thumbnails from
raw files like DNG files produced by Android phones. @Wim_Verheij
contributed the code to make rawkit compatible with libraw 0.18. -
Updated Czech, French, German, Slovak and Spanish translations.
