Shotwell replaces Gthumb as default photo organizer

Shotwell is an open source photo organizer designed for the GNOME desktop environment and has replaced Gthumb by default in this release. It supports the following features

• import photos from any digital camera supported by gPhoto
• automatically organize events containing photos taken at the same time
• non-destructive editing allows altering photos without ruining originals or using disk space for each copy
• publish photos to Facebook and Flickr
• one-click auto-enhancement
• rotate, mirror, and crop photos
• reduce red-eye and adjust the exposure, saturation, tint, and temperature of your photos
• edit any photo, even if it's not imported to the Shotwell library

Gthumb continues to be maintained and available in the Fedora repository.

Gnote Enhancements

Gnote is a C++ port of Tomboy. It is the default desktop note-taking application for GNOME in Fedora and has a number of enhancements and bug fixes. Gnote now has a few new add-ins and follows the XDG directory specification from freedesktop.org and notes stored in previously versions will be automatically migrated from .gnote to .local/share/gnote in the user's home directory.
