ANNOUNCE: F-Spot 0.7.2 Released!

[news 28]

I've just released F-Spot 0.7.2. This release contains a ton of

stability improvements and is the last release before the long-term

stable 0.8 release which will come in a week.

 

The most important change is one for developers: you can now use

Monodevelop to work on F-Spot. Get your hacking shoes on!
