As Stephane mentioned in his blog, F-Spot 0.6.0 is out.

Some of the highlights of this release (in no particular order):

• This release contains the folder bar, which I previously blogged about.
• This is the first release where we all used Git and it has massively paid off. Contributions are flowing in at a massive rate, from lots of people. See for yourself on Gitorious. Now that the release is out, it's time to go over merge requests. It's hard to keep up with them.
• F-Spot is getting ready for GNOME 3, with the introduction of GIO/GVFS and GtkBuilder. There are still parts of the code using the old stuff, but we're gradually replacing it.
• Bugs fixed! Over 120 bugs have been closed between the previous and the current release. This number does not include duplicates.
• And perhaps the most important: we're retooling things, refactoring and cleaning, which was much needed and will allow us to make it better faster, make it easier to add stuff and simpler to contribute.

With the pace going up and the codebase improving, you can be sure to see great stuff in the future of F-Spot! Oh and if you'd like to help build that future, drop on by on IRC: #f-spot on irc.gnome.org.

Congrats! F-spot is very good for photo management. I use it all the time to upload photos to flickr. Will there be a debian package?

I am almost certain that there will be a Debian package, but that's something the Debian people will have to build, we are just developers, not packagers :-)

Whoaa!

I'm looking forward to any RAW-related features in particular - do you have any planned in the not-to-distant future? :)

Also, this idea about re-using the Banshee core.. was this just an idea, or is it going to happen?

Well hopefully it has become faster. The older versions needed an hour (!) to scan my images and scrolling the timeline and rightclick images was awfully slow. That shouldnt be the case on a dualcore system.

Yeah! That sounds great. Already posted this news at "Linux for Designers"

Hmmm I use the 0.6 packages from getdeb and I have a problem with the new folder bar thing. I have just imported my photo collection (they are stored in photos/year/month/day catalog tree). The problem is, when I use the folder view, the folders are all messed up. Photos from the 4th day of a month (eg photos/2009/07/04/*) are displayed in April folder (photos/2009/04) etc. Any idea why?

Does it work on Mac OS X yet? :-p
